Description The Houdini forged titanium driver combines a super-forgiving 420cc head with an ultralight, 1" shorter graphite shaft and 16 degrees of loft for magical drives that are straight and long.
Summary: I am constantly buying clubs on eBay and comparing them, looking for the ultimate combo. I tried the Houdini 16 degree driver in regular flex ($50), and loved it. It was 10-20 yards or so shorter than my regular driver, but like a laser beam, and the 16 degree face provides so much confidence! But in that ultimate search, I wanted that "little bit extra" distance, so I also snapped up a stiff shaft version. I don't hit stiff shafts normally, but sensed that the Tour Edge stiff on this model was more firm than boardy, and might leave me some control and give a little extra distance pop. Right on the money!! I can hit this just as long as normal, straight as an arrow, high penetrating drives that land softly. It produces so much confidence at address that I also can "go after it" a little bit more, and that head speed also translates into more distance, too. Only drawback might be if you live in a really windy area, the higher trajectory might cause you to float off target some days. Other than that, I now have a new "point and shoot" toy to play with. Seriously, if you struggle with your driver, try this thing before they all disappear. I imagine that for many senior players, or recreational players who don't get out often, this would be a godsend.

Similar Products Used: Tour Edge QL (Quick Launch) driver is also a new little cannon that refuses to do anything but go straight down the middle. Hard to work, though, but for most golfers, who cares! Stay in the short grass with your drives, get a mid-iron hybrid to handle your approach shots, and lower your score.

Summary: The Tour Edge Houdini 420cc Driver is the best thing I have ever done to lower my score and show off at the tee box with a very long, straighter than ever drive every time with little effort. All I do is position the ball at my left heel, spread my feet apart no more than 14 inches wide, stand up straight, and take a slow controled swing. I was sceptical at first, but now I am a believer and will never part with this club, at least until another brand comes up with a similar product. You can purchase this driver on Ebay under $100. Buy this club, use it for a few rounds then write a review on this site. I would like to hear how this club has changed your game as well.
Customer Service: Have not used it.

Summary: Great concept, much like a 420 cc 3 wood. Many people hit their 3 wood instead of their driver because they are more acurate with it. This club is very forgiving and you don't really lose much distance.
The little exta distance you get from a 45+" clubs means nothing when you are way off the fairway. Don't let the 16 degree loft fool you, this one is a Bazooka.
It also is a sharp looking driver that gives me confidence when I set up my shot.
