I just got this, the other day, and I'm glad I did.

The club feels light, but swings strong. Kind of hard to explain, but it just seemed to work smoothly with my swing. I swing slower than most, but that's because I'm recovering from a current health issue.

I'm a sliceaholic. This club didn't cure the problem, but I wasn't slicing the ball near as deep as I was with my old driver(s). I adjusted my grip, slowed my backswing down "a lot" and boom! Every time! Nice and straight! I lost some yards, but I'm sure I'll gain them back as I get more used-to it, and as my leg gets better. I'm just glad to be hitting it straight, high and far (for once).

I used taller tees. I was "maybe" an inch to an inch and a half from the ground to the bottom of the ball, when I found what worked best for me. I usually tee up much lower to the ground but this club is much bigger than most. It has a pretty large sweet spot for us newbies.

The best part was the price. This one was free (gift). I keep seeing them for $149 or less online, though. WELL worth it, if you ask me.

I was hitting a "Proform" taylor made knockoff set before this. It was like apples and oranges out there tonight. I'm much more consistent off the tee, now.

I know my review may not be as well-worded as those of you that have been in this for a long time, but I really feel like I'm going to have a good season this year. This big dog should help.
