  1. Over the years I have mostly played png drivers, Fairway metals, and hybrids. I have owned several Titleist fairway metals and had nice results with the 909F and 913lF. I had a Tiitleist Hybrid too after having success with the png G25. I had two separate bags for years, one I kept at our vacation home that we owned for almost 20 years. I have had Titleist MB irons since 2012 and played Vokey wedges for many years too. I just couldn't justify the expense of the Titleist driver and had so much success with my png i20 driver, fairway metals, and hybrids. I have always preferred smaller heads on my metals so when the GT280 Mini hit the market, I got tempted, but they were so much more money and I hit my png i20 so well. I had an opportunity to purchase a TSi fairway metal for my brother when I was visiting. I bought as a demo discount. I knew the shaft was too much flex for my brother, but I thought I would send him the stiff shaft from my 913F. I hit it before I purchased it and it felt very nice. Long story, made short, my brother never used the club and he mailed it to me for my birthday last year. I swapped to the shaft from the 913F and found it a great club off the tee on holes that required some precision targeting from the tee box and occasionally from the fairway on longer holes if I was trying to cover trouble or make up ground after a poorer drive. I also knew it was designed for use in the rough too. I loved it. I then followed up and bought a GT280 Mini and married it to a low flighted shaft. I tried the GT280 using the shaft from my 913F, but the flight was too high for me. I had played a png G2 7 degree or a png i20 8.5 degree driver for years. After getting the correct Titleist tip installed and using it last fall and now this spring, I am sold on both the TSi and the GT280 Mini. Very consistent and even though I give up a bit on length on my GT280 Mini drives, I get better misses. I love the sound of both clubs because I realize that they sound more like my old Persimmon gear from some 50 years ago.
