Summary:
I have just tried the ovation driver on the range and i have never played better!
I bought it for $99 at my local shop and its amazing. I used to slice very much but now im hitting straight with a little draw, thats the shot i want to play. i hit my first 250 yard drive with it and i am so pleased. Great buy for anyone who wants to play better. Great value for money. Great club.

Adams Ovation 10.5 - stock Aldila Stiff

Summary:
This is a fantastic driver. It has a 460cc head which sits very square, the stock shaft by Aldila is a 46" mid kick, high launch 60g. I have emailed Aldila to find out what this is comparable to in there range but they have not replied. I guess it is between the 55g & 65g NVS? If it is they should have left it orange rather than green.

I have owned this now for about 6 months, it cost me £75 and I am very impressed with its performance, it is long and straight. I find you can manipulate the tradjectory depending on how high you tee the ball which gives flexibility in windy conditions. Personally I think the stock stiff shaft may be a little to stiff for me as on a good shot the ball will go straight but with a slight fade, but a bad shot seems to leave the club face open and a slice into the right rough. This isnt terrible but my smooth swing doesnt load the shaft excessively and I would like to hit the regular to compare.

Distance wise I have hit some long shots with this, only last night I had one of 295-300yd (including roll). I didnt try particulartly hard but hit it right from the middle. I have measured the hole (404yds) with a Nikon 500G, the tee was at the back and I was in the middle of the fairway (100 yards out). On the next hole I had my bad shot and it ended up 240yd from the tee in the rough on the right. As you can see there can be a huge difference in distance depending on the contact/swing, but I would imagine that this is the same with most drivers?

I wont be changing drivers anytime soon, its got the maximum .830 COR and the maximum head size, I cant see what else they can do? As I said a shorter regular may suit me a little better but until I try reshafting it/purchasing another I wont know.

Definately worth a try.

Summary:
I picked this thing up for $79 plus tax and took it to the range. Very forgiving, but noizey. This is a workable club allowing me to create fades and draws. I am not a heavy hitter, but this is great tool to have that gets the job done. With a MSRP of $250, It pays to wait.

Adams Ovation Driver Standard 10.5

Summary:
Just got back into Golf after a 4 year layoff. Driving has always been a weakness in my game. Getting back into the game I thought that a 460 cc driver should help. I picked the Ovation driver at a local sporting goods store for $89. It is the best $89 I've I've invested in this wonderful game of golf.

First of all, this driver is straight. i still slice but when I do, it's does not go into the trees. Instead, it's usually short, and in the short rough. I've only played 3 times with this driver. But every outing has seem improvements with my drives. I'm just getting back into the game so my drives are anywhere between 230 - 280 (The swing is inconsistent, Very inconsistent). Most above 250. And I hit a couple that were, well, Very, Very LONG.

I agree with everything from the first reviewer - Very Straight and sneaky long.

This driver has brought me new found enjoyment of the game of golf. And isn't that what it's all about?
