Just made master: G10 or R9 Driver?

  I would prefer the more forgiving of the two but there appears to be some confusion. The stats suggest the R9 is the most forgiving but the forums say the G10.

  I have been spoiled with the Rapture Pro V2 until now but cant avoid the meter speed increase any more since I need that extra distance off the tee.

  I am currently hiring the R9 and it is ok but the sweet spot seems quite narrow to my eyes.

  All advice welcome. Thanks,

  I sacrifice accuracy for distance and it has paid off 99% of the time. Go r9!

  I have both, bought the R9 first and suffered for a few weeks.  Got the G10 and found it tolerates mis-hits (my specialty btw) much better.

  Make sure to take the R9 for a spin on Bethpage while you have it hired out.

  Me likes frog hair, Yet I seem to use the G 10 and wonder if there is much more to it? Never tried the R9, anyone say there is much of a diff?

  In the end I did some selling of old stuff and got both the R9 and G10. I have to say that my personal preference is the G10 for its higher tradjectory, softer landings and extra forgiveness. I am willing to sacrifice 5 yards for all that.

  But I have to admit that the R9 is excellent for eating up the yards and is particularly good for St Andrews with its huge, wide fairways and strong winds.

  Unfortunately I think the answer to this thread is that you need both!
