Description Larger, more forgiving. Torsional Ti (Titanium) weave shaft-added stability and enhanced feel. 46 inch shaft. .350 tip for added stability and enhanced feel. forged titanium, 3 piece construction.
Summary: I bought this driver off ebay for $80. And I'm glad I did. This driver is very forgiving and the huge hit makes for better contact. At first I didn't like the stock shaft but after practice i got used to it. I hit about 210 compared to my beginners set 190. I'm am 14 years old and I am bidding for the 5 wood right now.

Summary: I have always been a taylormade kid of person, being that my coach always suggested it. At 15 years of age, Ihave always loved my driver, however lately my drives were giving me trouble, pulling to the left, hitting it fat... I decided that taylormade was no longer working for me after my swing alterations. Having heard great things about nike, I purchased the Nike 400cc titanium driver, than I got a custom shaft, stiff(my s.s is 90-100)and took it to the range. Man was it good! With a 95% swing, the ball went around 275-290 yds. I was able to work the ball with ease, and play a variety of shots. The stock shaft is a little too whippy, but with the proper shaft, it works great. I would recommend this driver to anyone, from high to low handicapper.

After Reshafting with a Graphite Desgin YS-6, this club is finally putting the ball where it should.
forgiving as hell, and able to work the ball nicely both ways with HUGE head, its a steal for anyone looking on ebay or any used shop.
Distance has not increased since old driver, however accuracy has.
Still,
like someone else said -
95% swing = 290 yards
100+% swing = 250 yards
This club is for a smooth swinger that can effortlessly stroke the ball and play a long drive consistently, but is looking for forgiveness and control without sacrificing the ability to work the ball.
Very pleased after shaft upgrade,
Paid 59 on ebay for club and 45 for new shaft.
Customer Service: gamespeopleplay is a great reseller of used equip

Summary: This is an awesome driver and consistently the longest driver (even @ 11*) I have ever used (although the SMT Nemesis and Taylor Made R7 are very close) and I have used many (see similar products used below). I took up golf 4 years ago (shot in the 140's then) and after reading hundreds of reviews and owning every driver you will see listed below I find some reviews hard to believe in some of their claims. For the most part I have found that there is not a large gap in distance between quality drivers that is until recently. What works for one person may not work for another. You have to find the driver that works for you but I must say that balls shoot off the face of this driver like a rocket--high, long, and penetrating and without a whole lot of effort. I shoot in the high 90's and have not missed with this driver. Who said the sweet spot on this driver was small? More stunningly is the accuracy I have enjoyed with this driver. Only my Taylor Made R7 has been more accurate (another driver I have read is not for high handicappers). My SS is 95-100 mph with a moderately fast tempo and other reviews have said this driver needs a smooth swing to be effective but even when I have stepped on it this driver has performed with distance and accuracy even with the stock fuji regular flex shaft (however I do get a tad bit more draw with it when I step on it). On a couple of toe hits I hardly lost any distance at all. With other drivers my distance is usually in the 240-250 yd range (except the SMT Nemesis and Taylor Made R7). With the Nike I am consistently 15 yards further. The only reason this is my back up driver is because I do hit the R7 with a little more accuracy (tighter dispersion)but not by much. I have a Grafalloy Pro Launch 65 that I have thought about replacing the stock shaft with but the stock shaft has felt so good and performed so well I do not want to mess with success. Picked this up cheap on E-bay for $64.

Summary: The Nike 400cc ti driver is the best I have used to date. Great distance and unsurpassed forgiveness is it's forte. What more can you ask for? I like to experiment with drivers in that I will usually have my current favorite driver in the bag and match it up against a different driver. If the newer driver outperforms the favorite, than it replaces the favorite and goes in my bag, Well, I have been trying to knock the Nike 400cc ti out of my bag but can't seem to find another driver that compares to it. (see below for the other drivers I have put up against it within the last year). I haven't tried the newer Nike Ignite but newer isn't always better! These beauties can be picked up on Ebay for about $100 right now
Customer Service: Haven't had to contact
