As a beginner just starting out, I would suggest buying a 14º driver in regular flex. For those that like numbers, something in the 235-245 CPM range.

This makes the assumption that your swing is not efficient, and that your clubhead speed will be less than 100 MPH with a 45" driver.

Speaking of 45", the other thing I would do is buy a driver (or have it cut down and re-swingweighted) to 44" or even 43.5".

You may have to see your local clubfitter for this, but I promise you it will be better than any club you buy off any rack in any store. I'd even put money on it.

A new highlight: Golfing the home course on Christmas Day.

I say it too often: If it's golf club shaped, you can play with it.

For the record, I'm a club doctor, not a swing doctor.
