Goldwin ADVP XXL300

Summary:
This club is light, fast and head heavy. It swings easily and is a great value for the money. All reviews on this club seem to be on-point. These clubs are a great value for the money. To get pro-line equipment for knock-off pricing makes me feel sad that such a great club is still a secret to many. I get a better swing and distance from my goldwin than I did from my Callaway C4. Like the C4, the sound is not like the typical "titanium ping" and may throw you off a bit. With that said, the club still puts the ball out there.

Customer Service:
I have found that replacement factory slip on and wrap grips are available every day on Ebay (search for "Goldwin", and that shafts are also available on request. You might have to look in the secondary (view other Ebay Stores items) area, but they are there in nearly all configurations and colors. It is important to keep lightweight grips on the clubs to keep the design pure, according to some course pros. Although out of business, these clubs still have a strong following from those who know true quality and over-the -top engineering.

Goldwin woods and irons

Summary:
These clubs are light years ahead of anything else in the market. Woods are very forgiving and long. Also very straight but you can work the ball if you wish. Like hitting Persimmon sweet every time. If you ever played with th old forged MT Tourneys, Wilson Staff or first Flight, Ben Hogan blades, these irons feel like they did when you caught it perfect. Great clubs, very forgiving.

Customer Service:
Had a problem with the iron shafts prior to Goldwin going under. The replaced all LW Steel shafts with graphite (gave me my choice) for no charge and turned around in 10 days. I am on the east coast they were on the west coast

Summary:
This has got to be the best kept secret in all of golf. Such a secret that the company is now defunct.

How a company that makes a product like this can go out of business is beyond me! Perhaps they priced themselves out of the market with a $500 price tag on their drivers... before those prices were acceptable.

If I were you I would do what I am doing... I am collecting the heads on Ebay.... these heads can be attached to aftermarket shafts to better their performance... although they don't NEED a different shaft at all....

Hitting this club feels like butter... I have tried the other drivers priced up to $500. ALL of them... it feels like I am hitting the ball with a hollow tin can..... when I use the Goldwin, the feel/ball flight is out of this world....

Yes, this is an over the top review... BUT, if you take a chance and buy one ( there are still some new clubs available) - you will get one for less than $100 ( even if you buy the head and assemble it yourself-they will beat out the other high priced drivers) - and you will drive the ball farther than ever.

I do recommend a lightweight stiff shaft... and a light grip....
