  I have just reached Master status and I`m finding playing off the Gold tee boxes difficult with my current driver  (MAX Meter 9.5). I love it`s slow meter, but I now need something Longer. Can I ask for suggestions please to solve my Driver dilemma ?

  The R1 is game-breaking for its level, if you have the cash.

  ^R1 at L48 goes 275/238 punched, and that can go to Legend. For a little less, there is L67 XHot that goes 278, and the Nike Convert is 270-275 for 645c less, however is not as forgiving nor as precise. It does though have slightly less meter speed (4 vs 3.5). I have the L48 club, got it about L68-ish and used it until L96, when I switched to the Max Meter L91 driver.

  Forgot to put this on my previous post, but get rid of the hybrid and get 3 wedges, however not until L80-ish (get the Cg16s). A cheaper way IMO is L76 CG16 56W-L42 Ping 60W-L39 ATV 64W. I would also get the Max Master Putter on top of the G20s at 59. But only if you have the credits,

  L48+ R1 275 yrds-2,495 credits . L58+ G20 270 yrds-1,495 credits . L67+X HOT 278 yrds. -2,195 credits . If you prefer the slow meter , get the G20 driver.Good luck , and choose wisely . :-)

  FWIW, i had all the drivers mentioned here in the post and found the level 69 Taylormade below with its medium trajectory would outdrive em all. It will serve u well until u reach level 83 and purchase the X-hot Callaway:
