Level 63+ driver recommendations

  On the free weekend I tried both the Taylormade R1 TP 9.0 Black and the Taylormade R15. Both are great clubs but the Black seems better in the wind but doesn't carry that well over obstacles and the R15 was ok in the wind but seemed better in carrying.

  I'm at level 63. My question?

  Is there anything better from the upcoming higher levels? Should I wait? Better distance and higher ball flight?

   

  Thanks.

  In the next 5 levels, no. In the next 10, there is the X2Hot @72. That goes 280, with slightly lower forgiveness (still at 4.0). but is the same price.

  X2 Hot is rated 280 and the R1 TP BLK is rated for 275 a 5 yard difference. Will I see a really big difference in yards only. What is the flight trajectory of the X2 Hot? Also, Is it really worth waiting 10 levels for the X2 Hot?

  mukbrain: Thanks for the input.

  The trajectory is the same for both clubs, so you would be better off with the R1, and maybe upgrade again in the 90's.
