Summary:
Its the best driver in my Weds group I think. It out drives expensive name brands which my partners carry, as I've tried them all, hence, while I continue looking, it would have to be a pretty incredible driver for me to leave this OLD stick. I think Nickent is onto something with the thin forged Titanium face. And, they put a nice light 55 gram UST shaft (stiff tip) on it.

Summary:
Had one of these with the stock 55g shaft, just too light for me... Now have one with a Graffaloy ProLaunch 65S, and the thing hits them great... very long and still forgiving. And on Ebay now, they are dirt cheap. For the money, one of the best drivers available, just get the right shaft. better than the 3DX, better than the Callaway 460X.....

Summary:
I first got this driver for around $40 at a second hand shop... it had the factory 55 gram pseed rated R flex... a very good shaft, but just too light and whippy for me.. I hit a few bombs with it, but about every third swing, it was a monster hook into the reeds. Rather than give up, as the head was SO hot, I had a ProLaunch Blue S65 put into it... that solved everything. Trajectory is great, and it is MUCH straighter. If I put a good hard swing on it, it is near or past 300. A more temperate swing puts it out around 280, and I am just not sure if any of the new stuff out there can do any better. I tried the Callaway X driver, a good stick, at first I loved the straightness of it, but couldn't seem to get it out past 270, even on a very good swing... so this inexpensive stick is in the bag... what a deal. I recommend you find one, then put your favorite shaft in it, and you will be set. Keep your $399 in your pocket. Skoal!

NA but I hear there is a great guarantee on their stuff.

Almost everything, but I will try out the hi-Bore and the 3DX at some point... I LOVE to buy different stuff, but there is really no need.....

Summary:
There is hope for my game after all! This is one sweet driver! I won't lie-I'm not a good golfer. I've always had a gnarly slice off the tee, and I would avoid my driver like the plague because of it. So, I decided to get a really good one in case it would help. Booyah! I scored this baby from e-bay for $35. Perhaps the best $35 dollars I have ever spent. I'm hitting farther and straighter than I ever have. This thing is really forgiving. Once in a while a slice will sneak in, but that's just my swing. Not the club. I no longer approach the tee box with trepidation. Instead, I have a new found confidence, unlike any thing I have felt before in my entire life! Ok, maybe I went a little overboard there, but I'm alot less frustrated when I play. If you can find one of these gems on e-bay, do what you have to do to get it. You won't be sorry! "Halleluliah! Halleluliah!" (You have to picture Martin Sheen in The Dead Zone when you say that to get the full effect).
