Shoots in the 90s
Model Reviewed: Srixon W-302 7.5 X flex
Summary: I've shot in the low 100's-90's for years mainly due to inaccuracy of the tee. I used a Ping Zing 9 degree with a very flexible shaft and tried every thing to get my drives to stay straight but the flex shaft didn't help my slice. Even slowing down my swing. So I got this driver used from a friend for about $25. I played and hit this driver for the first time today and i was very impressed. The stiff shaft and low loft really help the ball stay strait. I hit more fairway today off the tee than i ever have! I drove 2 greens and averaged about 260 with this club. Shorter than usual but IN THE FAIRWAY! I usually swing about 100mph but slowed to about 85mph to adjust to the new equipment and loft change. i can't wait to see what i can do when i get my swing back to full speed!

Shoots in the 90s
Model Reviewed: Srixon W-302 Driver
Summary: I'm a high 80s low 90s kind of guy who have no consistency off the tee. I tried every single driver out there. You name it, I tried. My friend who runs a golf retail store in asian market (Korea/japan) told me to try the Srixon W-302 Driver, which I was skeptical about it. He said W-302 is the last model from Srixon that made and built 100% in japan and in his opinion, it is much better driver than the newer ones from srixon. I wasn't really paying attention what he said to me for over a year. Last week, I was browsing ebay and I found this driver on auction. I bid $25 dollars and I actually won at $23. I took it to the driving range along with my 2 other drivers (Callaway FT-3 and Tourstage Z350) to test it out. I still was very much skeptical about the driver. After a few shots off the tee, I knew my friend was telling me the truth. The trajectory was great and most of all, very straight. Couldn't tell the exact carry but I was carrying about 240. Maybe 10 yards or so shorter than my FT-3 but it was straight! Even a miss hit still landed within 15 yards of my target line. So I was thinking, 'maybe it's one of those days I can drive great..', so I tried my other driver, FT-3; It wasn't my good day at the range. I can clearly see that the Srixon W-302 is much straigter with better trajectory. Anyway, this is the far better driver than any other drivers I've tried. I was considering buying a new driver like Taylormade Burner 460 or Superquad, but now I'm glad that I didn't spend $300-$400 on a piece of equipment that won't be much better than my new Srixon. If you are having hard time keeping your ball on a short grass, try this. You won't be disappointed. Get it while they are still around. Well spent $23 indeed. W-320 fairway wood is already hard to find. I'm gonna snatch it as soon as I spot it on ebay.

Summary: Great club! Like others have said I purchased the club due to it's smaller 380cc head and price, I got it for $70 on ebay new!
I couldn't be happier with it! Of course this is subjective but the club just sounds great, truly the best sounding Driver I'v heard. I've hit some booming drives of 280+. I can't wait to get my swing down and more consistant because I kill it with this puppy when I hit it right. As others have also stated it seems that a smoother swing really dials this club in and releases it's power.

Model Reviewed: Srixon W302, 10.5, regular graphite
Summary: I have been hitting a Callaway Steelhead driver for years, and have had great success. Always very straight.
Wanted to try a new titanium driver and couldn't pass up the deal.
Well after about 10 rounds this driver started to come around. I swing with a slower tempo and am now back to similar accuracy as the steelhead with much greater distance, especially on mis-hits.
I think the Srixon products are top notch although I dont care for the Lamkin Crossline grip.
Basically you won't find a better deal for a top quality driver
Customer Service: Haven't needed.

Summary: I started off not liking this club but gave it a chance and tried to avoid killing it and as always, the club started to deliver. Now - I really like this driver, it has a great sound on impact and at 380cc with a black finish and traditional design, it is a beauty since I really don't like the 400cc plus heads. It is long and easier to control than most clubs I've tried. I heard about Srixon while I was in Asia reading a golf magazine, they are apparently very hot in Japan and Europe but not well known in the US so when I got back to the US, I started looking up their products and found some great deals. Very well built and to me a very high quality driver. I had the R7 which is great but I liked this better - sold the R& for $300 and got the Srixon for less than $200. I like this driver so much I bought the 5 wood as well. I'm also looking into their 302 forged irons or the newer 403 cast clubs.
