Summary:
I purchased a new Mizuno MX 500 driver on ebay. I have never been able to hit a driver even with my most recent lesson. I took this to the range and began hitting straighter consistent shots. I then went to a challenging course that I had never played before. I shot a career low 43 on the front and a 53 on the back (not the Drivers fault). I broke 100 for the first time. My ability to get off the tees with this club attributed to my score. I have the original Exsar 50 shaft which forces me to take an easy swing. I beet the other three in my party by 10 or more strokes and even won some skins money. I am definitely glad that I purchased this club and would reccomend it to anyone.

Summary:
Hit every big stick in the pro shop and settled on the MX500 with factory NVS 65-R shaft. What a honey!! Great feel, nice mid/high trajectory, good sound (unlike a hammer hitting a metal telephone pole!). The G10 and TM Tour Burner were close seconds, but as MX500 was a demo I got it for $100 vs. $300 for the others. I may re-shaft my Launcher 400 with the NVS R-65 and put them head to head. Interesting thing to me was I hit all the drivers about same distance. Callaway, Ping, Titleist, Taylor Made, Cobra, Mizuno, Cleveland -- no 'hot stick'.

Summary:
i was able to buy this MX500 for $38 including shipping w/only 20 drives on it w/headcover (ebay), SO HOW COULD I PASS IT UP? I was using a perfectly fine Cobra SS-350 stiff. The MX500 came with a stock Exsar 50 regular shaft that i found to be much to whippy. the club head lagged so far behind that everything would bend to the right. not wanting to dole out big bucks i found a once pulled exsar 50 stiff shaft locally for $30 including insallation and a new grip,again how could i pass that up? so i've invested a whopping $68 into this Mizuno MX500. now i am looking for a deal on a top shelf stiff shaft to have installed, Fugikura, 'cause w/the stock exsar50 stiff i am driving 20yrds further easy. I can drive it low,med or high can also bend it right to left which puts a smile on my face. Believe me when i say that it has been well worth the $68.
