Summary: I have to admit I was a tad “hesitant” about this driver before I bought it. I did a ton of research (internet, reviews, and people who own one) I was fitted by Merlin @ Loft & Lie in Dartmouth N.S. I was fitted with a Proforce 65 shaft (stiff flex) 10.5 loft & 400cc. With my old Ping & TM 360 I had a wicked slice….granted some of that had to do with my swing & yes Loft & Lie help cure that. When I went to try it out & the local range I had a buddy with me who had just bought a name brand driver as well (some other store) He’s a big hitter to begin with & he was knocking them out there with his….after a bit he wanted to try my Alpha….one smack with mine & the ball was gone….he hit it at least 40 yards further with mine. Of course I had the joy of watching him kick himself for not getting an Alpha at Loft & Lie for the rest of the day. As for me…it’s like I’m a different golfer…of course I’m not whacking it out there 4 billion yards like some guys claim…but I’ve added at least….at least 20 more yards & more important….IT’S STRAIGHT!!!! Even on miss hits I don’t notice too much of a penalty. These are new drivers on the market but you can read about them in any golf magazine. Forget about that “name brand” stuff that you have to pay $650.00 just to realize the club doesn’t fit you. Why not get fitted by a professional & have the right club for you.
Customer Service: Purchased from Merlin @ Loft & Lie in Dartmouth Nova Scotia. He made sure I had everything perfectly matched to my swing….and …AND he cured a ton of my faults. Everything is so Detailed…..they go above & beyond the standard to make sure you have the right fitting club.

Model Reviewed: Alpha Reaction V2 400
Summary: Had an Alpha Reaction V2 400 1* closed face, built with a 46" Harmon Tour Design FSX shaft. Its a beautiful club. The design and color mask the head size. It doesn't appear a large as other 400cc clubs at setup.
The black face marks where you strike the ball, this you can rub off with your thumb or towel after each use. This is very helpful in teaching yourself to strike the ball consistantly.
My Slice is now a slight fade. This is the longest straightest club I've ever used.
Customer Service: Ordered, built, shipped, and received over the weekend. Great Service

Summary: With the right shaft, this driver is long and straight. Lots of forgiveness - you really have to put a bad swing on it and still get decent results. More forgiving than the Cobra SS427 and Wilson Deep Red. Even though it is 400cc, it doesn't look huge. Longer than my GBB2, SMT Nemesis, 975J & JVS, and TM 320. If you want to work the ball, try the Alpha Reaction C830. If you just want to hit straight & long, this club is worth the money. I also have the V2 which works nearly the same.
Customer Service: Haven't had any issues to call customer svce.

Model Reviewed: Alpha Reaction 400
Summary: I bought the 400CC 10.5 degree head. I had a local repair shop combine it with the TX90 45" Steel shart with stiff flex. What an amazing combination. Long, straight drives with amazing consistency. I gave up my Ping TISI for this because of the extra length and accuracy. This is the real deal!!

Model Reviewed: Alpha Reaction 10.5 300CC
Summary: I'm a scratch player with a very quick and fast swing. I hit it a long ways. I got this stick with a UST 65-G Pro-Force Shaft (tip stiff)...very low torque. I played a 10.5 model and loved it for almost 2 years. I started hitting the ball a little too high and short lately so I looked at the club and noticed it was cracked on the sole from toe to heel about a 1/4" back from the face edge. Plus my Dad would regularly say it sounded a little weird. Well, turns out I had crushed in the face according to a local golf shop owner friend of mine I was playing with recently and sells these clubs and has seen 2 or 3 come back in similar condition in the past few years. I have done this before with knock-off's but never with a pro-line club. I'm going to replace it, because I really do love the club, but I wish they would get it right and send me something that won't cave in during a competitive round!!
Play well......
