Summary:
I've always struggled from the tee - started off with a cheap MacGregor offset driver which was useless as I tend to hook rather than slice. Changed to Taylor Made Bubble Shaft for several years, but never felt confident with it and ended up using my 3-wood instead. Things eventually got so back that for a year or so I only ever used an iron from the tee.

This year I purchased a new set of irons that made a big difference to myt game - go tme thinking that it might be my equipment that was letting me down after all. Tried various more expensive clubs, but hit this straighter, longer and more consistently than anything else. Very forgiving, so it can be hard to shape your shots, but if you're like me you will be grateful for that most of the time.

Quality of finish leaves a little to be desired, and the stock shaft seems to chip very easily, but at this price I'm not complaining. In terms of performance it puts other much more expensive clubs to shame.

Plus it makes an excellent noise!

Customer Service:
Club was poorly packed and arrived with a small chip in the shaft. Unfortunately I put a bigger chip in the shaft before I got a chance to return it, so I just kept it and never got the chance to find out what Centregolf's customer service is like!!

Summary:
Got the club as a gag gift for a buddy, but after testing it out on the range I decided to keep it. I went on to play a scrambel the weekend after I got it and won long drive (349 yrds wind a little behind me). Next weekend I took it out for the club championship and it was a night mare. I kept on slicing this club 3 fairways over. It a good club if you swing nice and smooth. However if you swing hard don't buy it!

Customer Service:
n/a bought it at a yard sale

Summary:
I got this club replacing my Callaway Steelhead Plus. The club is long, but the ball flight is terrible. It produce a slice fade shot. I have to compensate for it so much by aiming left.
I could not work this club to a draw at all, so Dogged left hole is impossible for me to play.
Good club for its price though.

Summary:
An outstanding value, has the R flex graphite, but it scoped out to a stiff. Easy to hit, and very long. Do not waste $300-$500 on the Titleist, Taylor or Callaway, this is a hot stick!!

Customer Service:
no need, but Play it again is really cheap on trade ins and does not do returns.
