this is the sweetest driver ever. i consistently gained 15 yards on every drive, the only draw back is the stock shaft. the thing is a noodle, the stiff is more like a regular, or even a senior shaft. once i put a proforce 65 golf in it, it got ten times better. i hit is straighter then before and the shaft looks beautiful with the blue head. great club, recommend it to anyone looking for a great driver

I DONT KNOW ABOUT THE REST OF YOU, BUT I GET A KICK OUT OF ALL THESE 300 YARD PLUS HITTERS ON THESE REVIEWS. I WISH I COULD SAY THAT I WAS ONE OF THEM, BUT LETS BE HONEST THERE ARE ONLY A SMALL FEW ON THE TOUR THAT CAN CONSISTENTLY GET IT OUT THERE 300. THIS IS AN HONEST REVIEW TO THE BEST OF MY GOLFING AND CLUBMAKING ABILITY, AS I AM ALSO TIRED OF PEOPLE HYPEING EVERY PRODUCT THAT IS ON THIS SITE. LETS FACE IT SOME CLUBS JUST DO NOT APPEAL TO SOME PEOPLE FOR ANY NUMBER OF REASONS. AND IF THE CLUB DOESN''T APPEAL TO YOU YOU WONT HAVE CONFIDENCE IN IT. MY SPECS ARE: 9 DEGREES, GRAFFALOY PROLITE 35 X-FLEX 44.5 INCHES, SWINGWEIGHT D-2.5. I HAVE TRIED EVERY DRIVER ON THE PLANET WITH ALMOST EVERY SHAFT. THE TESTING I HAVE DONE HAS BOTH BEEN ON THE RANGE AND PLAYING SITUATIONS. TESTING ON THE RANGE ALONE DOES NOT DO A CLUB JUSTICE, BECAUSE YOU WILL INSTINCTIVELY ADJUST YOUR SWING TO THE CLUB AND PRODUCE GOOD RESULTS WITHIN THE FIRST 10-20 BALLS. PLAYING THE CLUB IN A ROUND WILL GIVE BETTER FEEDBACK BECAUSE YOU HAVE TO HIT IT GOOD ON DEMAND.(THUS THE CLUB HAS TO FIT YOU, NOT YOU FIT TO THE CLUB). THIS CLUB HAS BEEN THE MOST CONSISTENT PERFORMER FOR ME SO FAR. IT IS ALSO ONE OF THE LONGEST I HAVE HIT. MY SWING SPEED IS 110 MPH AND I GET ABOUT 250-260 YDS OF CARRY WITH THIS CLUB. I THINK THIS IS VERY GOOD LENGTH FOR A DRIVER ALTHOUGH IT DOESN''T COMPARE TO THESE OTHER REVIEWERS 300+. (THEY MUST BE SWINGING 125+ MPH). I HAVE GOTTEN FED UP WITH FIGHTING A HOOK INDUCED FROM MANUFACTURERS PUTTING A 2 OR 3 DEGREE HOOK FACE ON THEIR DRIVERS AND HAVE FOUND THAT THE SQUARE FACE ON THIS CLUB IS MUCH EASIER TO CONTROL. THIS IS NOT A CLUB FOR THE PERSON THAT HITS IT RIGHT, IT WILL TURN INTO A MONSTER SLICE. I HAVE ALSO NOTICED THAT IF YOUR SHAFT IS NOT SIFF ENOUGH THE HEAD WILL LAG OPEN AND CAUSE A PUSH FADE. THIS THREW ME OFF AT FIRST AS I WOULD EXPECT A HOOK FROM A SHAFT THAT WAS TOO SOFT, BUT THE OPPOSITE WAS TRUE. TO SUM IT ALL UP DON''T BE AFRAID TO TRY DIFFERENT CLUBS AND SHAFTS. YOU WILL FIND ONE THAT YOU LOVE AND HAVE CONFIDENCE IN SOONER THAN LATER.(THIS ONE TOOK ME ABOUT THREE YEARS). ALL THE MAJOR MANUFACTURES MAKE GOOD PRODUCTS, BUT SOMETIMES YOU NEED TO CONSULT YOUR LOCAL CLUBFITTER/CLUBMAKER TO PROPERLY FIT YOU WITH THE SPECS THAT YOU NEED. MOST COMPONENT CLUBS ARE ALSO GOOD PRODUCTS, BUT NEED AN EXPERIENCED CLUBMAKER TO BRING THE TO THE FULL POTENTIAL.

Purchased a 9 degree loft with a stiff flex Proforce 65 shaft. It''''''''s longer than my GBB by 15 yards and I think more forgiving, very similar to the Taylor Made 320 but at half the price. The fit and finish is excellent. You can pick these up on close out really cheap right now. Maybe the best value for a titanium driver out there right now.

Excellent when I ordered my customized Comp EZ''''''''s.

Model Reviewed: Mizuno T-Zoid Forged 9 Degree Driver

Beautiful looking club, great feel at impact, bad shaft. I found that the Mizuno shaft that comes standard on this shaft (I had the stiff) is far too whippy and shouldn''t be called stiff. The feel of this club when you hit the ball on the sweet spot is incredible. It has a very hot face and it is very forgiving with mis-hits, unless you swing too fast. I had to slow my swing down to match the shaft. I sold it to someone that had a slower swing than me and he loves it too. I should have kept it and put a Pro-Force 75 Gold in it, but I didn''t want to put any more money into it. I''m hitting a cheaper TaylorMade SuperSteel now and love it. Same look as the Mizuno, maybe same designer?

Model Reviewed: T-Zoid Forged Titanium Driver 9*

Can''t beat this driver for the price! I''m a long hitter (when I don''t slice it) and have left the ball 10 yards from the pin on a 320 yard par 4. This driver is fairly forgiving (my swing is the problem). If you have a fast swing speed, definitely go for a stiff or extra stiff shaft upgrade (I got lucky with a Fujikura X-stiff prototype shaft on mine). The club head is big enough to be confident in, but not so big that it looks like a hockey stick. Great feeling and sound... the ball explodes off the face.

Model Reviewed: T-Zoid Forged 10* - BiMatrx

Great Driver! I purchased this club to improve my trajectory (a bit higher) and it is perfect! I opted for the BiMatrx shaft in Stiff flex, and it is a great match for this driver. The club is forgiving, without sacrificing feedback. You know exactly where on the clubface the ball was struck. Mis-hits seem to fly quite straight, and sacrifice minimal yardage. I can''t say this Driver added 50 yards to my drives like some reviewers would, but it is definitely longer (for me) than my old Callaway GBB. The improved trajectory, and the ability to vary it when needed, means I get great distance, regardless of course condition. This one is a winner, but like all clubs, it won''t solve your swing problems, so be sure to make sure you get the right shaft composition and flex to suit your game.

Roll baby roll! This driver produces incredible roll, and as a result is the longest driver I have hit. I used to hit a driver (10.5 degrees) about 250. Now I am hitting it 265 to 295. Part of the extra distance is surely the lower degree face, but I think part of it is also the quality of the club. It really feels solid, has nice swing weight (can feel the clubhead), and sets up just beautifully. The club is not very forgiving. Poor swing planes will produce awful slices or duck hooks. But it''''''''''''''''s a driver so what do you expect? But good swing planes produce great trajectory long boring shots. Also this is not a driver that can be hit of the deck! I had a Fenwick Tour World Class shaft in it originally, but didn''''''''''''''''t like it, and have since switched to a Penley Platinum shaft. Very nice

The driver does more than expected and a lot more than some of the more popular choices. I used to use an old Callaway and was very satisfied with its performance. Yet, I needed more distance. I had changed the shaft to a Proforce 75 and it did change a lot for the better. I then purchased this driver in search for more distance. After testing others, I chose this one on the grounds of forgivness, feel and control of the clubface. The shaft on the other hand did not impress me at all. What I then did was replace the shaft with a Proforce 75 and all the change was like night and day. Much, much straighter shots and pulling off draws and fades on command. I highly recommend this club to all those who are looking for something other than the norm. The look of the blue head on a yellow shaft at address gives a bit more confidence as well.

Customer Service

Very good. Email replies were dealt with right away and gave me very specific details. Excellent help!

This is my third review of this club, I think... I made a huge mistake with reshafting this club. I went from the accell stiff shaft to a proforce 65 stiff because of some of the things I have read here on the reviews. I''m 6'' 6" tall and 290, I don''t swing real hard, around 100 to 110 on a regular basis. I just flat hated the feel of the proforce and was really pushing the ball. I think the tip stiffness of this shaft was way too much. So I took the club back in to get a Graffaloy prolite black. It''s still in the shop. So in the mean time I have tried the Cleveland Launcher, please read my review on this club. It''s the best I have tried yet. But if you are interested in the Mizuno, try it. To simply put it, I wish I would have kept the crappy mizuno shaft in it.

Big sale on these now, so I picked one up, and I don''t regret it! I went with the stiff stock accel-arc shaft, and it seems perfect for me. I do have a proforce 75 R laying around, so, we''ll see... Love to colour, goes perfect with my car! Trajectory is right were I want it, high but penetrating. I usually have a natural draw (sometimes too much) but with this it is easy to fade at will. The reviews are rather spot on, this club is long and does not favor the left. Swing it big and smooth and be rewarded! Hit the sweetspot and the ball just will not come down! The head is resonably forgiving, but it''s no TM 360. This club will stay in by bag, atleast until I''ve tested the lancher. I changed the grip right away, it was just too thin.
