Summary:
Very beautiful looking driver. It's probably the prettiest looking driver I ever used. But actual result from hitting this driver weren't good as the look. It's not very forgiving and very long compared to my other drivers I have. It has very low ball flight for 9.5 degree. I think you need to be very good with driver in order to use up its maximum protential. (I don't have good driver skill). I recommend this club for advance player.

Summary:
This is a nice driver. It can produce big distances when hit properly, but is not overly forgiving. I prefer the MacGregor Tourney and Mizuno Forged by a bit, but this is a very good driver. Lofts play true unlike Callaway.

Summary:
After shopping around for a driver that I felt comfortable with, I'm finally home! This is 1 good club. 1st time out with it I was hitting a consistant draw that made the other guys drool! Not as forgiving as some clubs, but hit it near the center and it's gone.

Customer Service:
excellent-I e-mailed a question and received a response within 24 hours.

Tour Premium 260 LS 9.5*

Summary:
I never thought that I would find a driver that would replace my 975D 9.5*. Well, I've found one! The Precept Tour Premium 260LS is one great stick! I might hit it further than the 975D (which had a UST Proforce 65 "S") in it, but most importantly it's so easy to hit it solid with great results! I had to "work" to hit my Titleist this good. I got the 9.5 with the stock stiff shaft and am very happy with the ball flight, which is a little higher than the Titleist. The higher flight in no way results in ballooning problems, in fact it is similar to the Titleist idea of the “High and Flat” trajectory. Retail is around $400. I got lucky and bought mine at a shop going out of business so it was significantly less. Not recommended for those players who don't have a fairly sound and repeating swing. (I think this is true with for just about any players type club). This clubs delivers big time results for those who don't require big time forgiveness and compensations through their equipment. Don’t misunderstand, it forgives, but divine intervention it is not. If you can’t find the ball with something close to the center of the clubface, get some lessons and put in a little effort. If you can do that already, then get this driver!
