Description The 983K driver features a 365cc full pear profile. The larger head size compared to the 983E, produces a moderate launch angle and higher moment of inertia for playability. The slightly heel-biased i...

Summary: I have been playing with the 983k, 9.5 for 4 years now since I started to break 85. Just ordered my second one on ebay for 40 bucks with a YS-7 stiff shaft for my second set at my other home.
The face of the driver is big enough for any golfer, and the feel and consistency of this club is superb.
i think that this is for anyone as long as you pick the correct shaft. A stiff shaft for a slow swinger will kill you with this club.
I can fade it or draw it with ease, it has a boring trajectory.
I can launch it 280-300 but rarely need to hit that big, as 250 is more than enough for me...Callaway steelhead plus 3+ gets me 225-250, so only use when I need 250 plus yds.
Playing smart golf allows me to hdcp at 11 and once in a while break 80. (twice).
Been playing for 5 years.
Awesome club for the money...especilly now in secondary mkt.

Summary: This was my first driver. I decided to get a used driver since i didn't want to shell out big bucks if my driving game wasn't up to par. Being a beginner, I had a hard time w/ this driver. It is a lot smaller than the 460cc drivers out there. After a month, i borrowed my cousin's nike sumo. I developed my swing, and the forgivness of the big club head provided me w/ great results. After a week or two, i decided to give my 983k one more shot.
All i have to say is WOW!!! My improved swing resulted w/ me hitting the 983k +275 yards. I can even hit nice draws. I returned my cousins' sumo, and i can't be any happier w/ my 983k. if you can find one, grab it. you won't be dissapointed.
FYI: it was installed w/ the aldila NVS 65 which i highly recommend.

Summary: I must preface this by saying that I have begun shooting in the high 70's this year and shoot so probably 1/2 to 1/3 of the time.
I had to give it a 5 due to its being the best driver I have ever owned. There may be better out there, the 909D3 is one I want to try but for the price tag I will probably wait 1-2 years to consider buyine one.
Now to the club... I purchased the 8.5 degree model with ProLite 3.5S shaft and this is the best combo I have ever had. I had a 905T with a Blue Stiff shaft that was a baloon launcher for me. A Cobra F Speed 9degree with NV 55 and 65 S shafts with mixed results (some hugh bombs though, several 320-325 and 1 340yard bomber). I must say though that I prefer the low to mid launch I get. I swing about 100-127mpg, avg 107 though with an easy swing. I get great hang time and boring trajectory that cuts through the wind with ease, such a pleasure to see. I love the roll I get once I see it land 260-270 hards away, even rolling up hills.
The size and feedback is great, it seems perfect after dealing with such monsters as the LauncherComp460 and HighBoreXL. I enjoy the headweight to shaft ratio and have wonderful feedback for my swing diagnosis, the best ever - also due to my studying and practice of the game. I can also bomb it high with a few adjustments. The heel weighting is great for a slight draw but still allows me to hit fades on command and bore through the air unlike some drivers I have hit which have lost 30-40 yards on intentional medium to large fades.
Give it a try, mine was a bit beat up for $45 at Golf Galaxy but have discovered that for $30 Golf Works will fix the paint chips and remove the small dent to the top towards the toe. The face and bottom look great and inspire confidence still to play such a quality driver. Hit a bomb about about 290 yesterday, slight draw into a medium wind, impressed my whole foursome. Many more to come!

Summary: Wow. That's all I have to say. Before this driver, I was playing a Nike Sasquatch 460, 10.5* with a regular shaft. Hated the head, and saw this driver at Golf Galaxy in a 9.5* with a stiff shaft. Hit it against the Sasquatch and couldn't believe the difference. It was 25 yards longer than the sasquatch, and had a ridiculously smaller dispersion range. 35 dollars later, I walked home VERY happy. This thing is a beast.
Summary: This driver is the best i have ever hit, the size of the head just looks perfect at setup and the sound is Titliest(beautiful).After reading alot of rewiew on this site i set out to purchased this club off e-bay it had a prolite regular shaft on it, it was cheap and in good condition i was intending to change the shaft to something stiffer which i did, the shaft i put on is an Aldida 65 it turned out to be perfect. You can shape this driver anyway you want, the ball flight is a thing of beauty one bad swing though and its reload time. The average drive i hit with this club ends up at 280 to 290 metre`s if i step on it 310 metre`s. I can`t fault this club,the only negative is they are getting harder to find.
