MacTec NVG2 Draw 460

Summary:
I've played this driver for a full season and i love it. keeps me in the fairway all day and has good distance. Surprisingly workable for a "draw" club, and mis-hits off the face don't leave you stranded. definitely a good value, found mine for like 60 on ebay. I would recommend this club to anyone who has trouble slicing the ball or is just inconsistent with their driving. PS it is still possible to slice with this club, it just takes a really bad swing to do so.

Summary:
im not a good player, but drive long off the tee. ive been using titleist drivers for a long tme, but never felt the need to try the 460cc drivers, didnt like the look and/or the lack of feel. but my 975j was getting too scuffed so i went about looking for a new driver, seeing that the nvg2 had such good reviews online and the tour is slightly smaller looking '435cc?'i brought one for 50 quid. bargain!!! the spec of the driver was really impressive, packed with techy stuff and a good shaft. i heard that the quad flex shaft was really good but a little soft so i went for an x flex rather than the normal stiff.
at the driving range it performed very well. driving as long as my old driver but with a tighter spread.
one thing i would say is particularly good id that the 360 face tech is for real, it works and its long. the sound is mad loud so beware.
with the fuji speeder shaft, even thought it is softer than a normal x flex, its still stronger than a stif, after a large basket of balls my shoulder and back was spent. and its a bit harder to launch the ball at the normal angle, ive always used a 8' with great results. but with a x flex i really need a 9' to get the best launch angle i think.
its not something i cant get over, but i need to be in good shape to use it. nothing to do with form, but energy level and freshness, if im tired then i wont be able to load the shaft properly, also i cant use it off the mats in winter as i cant get enough grip on the mats to 'power up' so i decided to keep using my titleist during this winter and move to the nvq2 when the conditions improve and warming-up and grip isn't such an issue
have to say also that i really like the look of the head, its shape is old school but you can see the tech underneath. the head cover is really funky zip is easy to use and safer than magnets.

Summary:
Re: MacGregor MacTec NGV2 460 Draw Driver with the Fujikura shaft(R). Been playing since I was 6-7 years old. and learned to play as a caddy. Been as low as a 2. MacGregor messed up by discontinuing the best Senior Driver available in the last two years. The head was hot and the shaft that FujiKura designed for that club increased my swing speed 3mph. I spent all winter hitting balls into a net with a swing speed meter. The only other club that was matching that increase in club head speed was the square headed FT1. I bought a 3-Fairway wood along with it and it was totally different. I bought my MacTec Driver at 10.5 loft and was able to hit it 5-10 yards behind the long young college age players. I was referred to being "sneaky long'. I am now 66 years old and I am still long enough to play the blue tees sloped at 138.
