Summary: I tried many drivers, including burner, nike saq, callaway Hyper X and this is still my best driver. I tend to fight a strong fade on my drives and, while it does not cure it, it is minimized. IT IS BY FAR THE LONGEST out of the clubs I tried. Longest carry and longest roll. With other drivers, I was hitting about 220-250, but with this driver I am hitting about 240-270.
Sometimes, you don't get what you paid for (in terms of other drivers). This was a fraction of other clubs, but it is the best. The stock shaft can be a better, but the face is the hottest out there.

Summary: Excellent driver - I bought this as a set, which means I paid less than $50 for it. The drives are very straight and I am not a very long hitter, but consistently hit it between250-260. I agree with reviews that the shaft is nothing to write home about, and I am planning to get mine re-shafted after I get fit for it.
I have tried other drivers from Ping, TM, Titleist, Mizuno, but none come close to this. I am learning to shape my shots gradually and this driver has been great in that regard as well.
Definitely buy one, you will not regret it.

Summary: I am a new golfer and this is the first oversized driver I have ever hit. I bought it off of ebay new for $60. It has made a huge difference for me. I replaced a knock off Adams shallow face 9* with a steel shaft that I only hit 180 when it went straight. My first easy swing with the HTi 440 soared past the 200 yard marker like it was shot from a cannon. I don't feel like I have to pound it so I relax and let the club work. My last 18 holes I was in the fairway or the fringe 80% of the time and never lost a ball off the driver despite plenty of water. Knowing how new I am to the game my buddies were very impressed. I am having more fun than ever and even keeping score.

Summary: Another ebay bargan, 8.5 deg, factory stiff shaft but hits about the same height as my old R580 9.5 only about 10 - 15 mtrs further & consistantly straighter. 440cc head is nice & compact & seems easy to square at impact. No problems with the stock shaft but if it doesn't suit you its still a bargan with a new shaft retrofitted. Club will stack up against anything
