Description New technology has made it possible for golf clubs to be more effective and powerful than ever before. The Launcher 400 has the technology of the original Launcher 330 with the added benefits that come from a larger clubhead. This great feeling driver produces a higher launch angle with lower backspin for more carry and increased roll, and also offers an increased moment of inertia which reduces the amount of lost distance on off-center hits.
With these new technological advances come restrictions to keep the game fair and fun for golfers of all levels. The rules of golf dictate that a driver face can only offer a certain amount of spring-like effect known as the Coefficient of Restitution or C.O.R. The USGA has officially ruled that the maximum amount of C.O.R. allowed in a golf club is .830. The New Launcher 400 precisely meets this legal limit allowing you to post all of your scores. So, you'll be able to put this club into play in any tournament at any golf course and feel confident that you're getting the distance, the great feel and accuracy of the most technologically advanced club in the game.
Summary: I'm 5'6" and have been waiting 6 months to use the club due to injuries. Second time playing with a used one I bought off E-Bay - the 11 drives averaged 251 (including two drives of 140 and 170) - otherwise the drives averaged 270+!!!!. Easy club to hit, tee it low and give it a rip. The first time I was teeing it too high and was popping up the drives. It's amazing to see the ball stay in the air for 5-7 seconds.. Got the club for $29 and couldn't have made a better investment.

Summary: After searching for a new driver after playing a Daiwa with a stiff steel shaft, which was ancient in terms of technology, i settled with this driver. 8.5 degree loft with an x stiff gold fuji shaft. I have never hit a ball farther. My max drives used to top out at 300 yards. Starting teaching myself how to hit a golf ball, got this club for free, and the rest is history. My average drive is now 310 yards, if i hit it pure i am reachig 350. My swing speed is around 115mph. The sweet spot doesn't have grooves, which results in less spin and more roll. The clubhead is the perfect size, it is large enough to instill confidence, yet not so large to look awckward at address. It is a rewarding club when hit on the sweet spot because there is more mass behind the club unlike every 460cc driver out there. I feel like i am in control of the ball. this is a player's driver. the 460cc drivers just launch the ball in the air and stay on that path or get pushed by the wind. You can hit true draws and fades wih this club. Of course i can only speak for the 8.5 degree X stiff version. If you want a forgiving club for poor swings, this is not your club, so please do not rate this driver. You are just doing an injustice to the real golfers out there looking for the very best equipment

Summary: I hae tried numerous drivers over the years and recently got this one on Ebay by accident (thought I was getting a 460). Wow, do I hit it well. I can tee it low and get tons of roll (comething that the 460's don't do so well). I can work the ball better than with the jumbo heads. Great club!

Summary: I only wish I'd bought one of these sooner, when I played more often. Factory stock shaft(Rflex) is more than enough for me.I can crank it back and just lay into it as hard as I want and Bang, off it goes. Good looking club too.
