Affinity Cube 460cc 10.5* driver Summary:
After trying out my grandson's Nike SQ 460 last week with good success, I decided to get a square 460* driver for myself. I decided not to spend too many $$$, so I bought a brand new Affinity from RockBottomGolf on eBay for $39.58 including the shipping. I'd never seen one before so I really didnt know what to expect. When I unwrapped it from the package & looked it over, I thought to myself....you get what you pay for. While the club's basic appearance is ok, closer inspection revealed more of a Dollar Store look than not. Poorly masked paint job on the head, ferrule not blended smoothly, and the Aldila shaft had a metallic blue sparkly rough textured finish like a toy & even the Winn grip was cheap looking. The headcover wasn't too bad tho, but kind of small. I checked the specs & it weighed 10-7/8 oz, a D-1 swingweight, & overall length of 45-3/4".
It felt light and easy to swing & the square head looked good at address, so today I took it to the course for a test drive. I was pleasantly surprised when the very first ball I hit with this club went dead straight down the middle of the fairway, and ended up about 30 yards farther that my normal drives with my Adams 363 driver. I continued to make mostly good, nearly straight hits for the entire round and easily averaged +30 yards to boot. I even tried a couple of shots off the fairway with some success. The Cube 460, while not a raving beauty, did an outstanding job right down to the last tee shot, and convinced me enough to give it a 5-star value rating, and I would recommend it to anyone wanting a thrifty new style driver that performs. I guess sometimes you get more than what you pay for! Customer Service:
I dont know anything about Affinity Golf, but RockBottomGolf.com is a very good outfit, nice prices, & very quick shipping. Similar Products Used:
