GOUGE: If you want to know what you should buy because the U.S. Open winner used it on his way to victory, well, you've got a mixed bag, as it were. There's Mickelson's Callaway Fusion FT-3, a 460 cc driver with a multimaterial, carbon composite shell, titanium face construction. Or there's Kenneth Ferrie's movable weight TaylorMade r7 425 driver. Geoff Ogilvy recently switched to a Cobra X Speed all titanium driver that's 460 cc. Same deal with Ian Poulter. Vijay Singh is back to his trusty Cleveland Launcher Comp, again a multimaterial, carbon composite crown, titanium face model. And Colin Montgomerie's toting another multimaterial, carbon composite 460 cc head from Yonex that's got a name straight out of Star Wars (Cyberstar Powerbrid).
That's three multimaterial drivers, if you're counting. Jim Furyk's got a new age Srixon driver (W-506) that's 450 cc, and Steve Stricker is in with Titleist's 460 cc 905R. And Padraig Harrington is using a Wilson Pd5 that's "just" 400 cc—and also utilizes carbon composite in the crown.
What's that say when our top 10 is sporting seven different driver models from seven different companies? On one hand, you could say there's an awful lot of good product out there. Of course, you could also say, everything's so equally good, it doesn't matter what you choose, as long as you get it fit to your specs.
