| These drivers will NOT provide significant distance gains over last year's models or todays rounded drivers. The theory behind the square head is that mass is distributed further into the back corners than on a traditional head, this mass placement gives the club greater moment of inertia (moi) on hits on the toe, or heel of the face. This translates into a club that has greater ability to remain square through the hitting area while being less prone to twisting at impact. This is meant to eliminate the hands twisting the club at impact to produce sidespin, this means that the only way to hook or slice would be by changing the swing plane, essentially hitting "across" the ball.
This becomes a drawback for advanced players who have the ability to control sidespin and work the ball to fit the layout of the hole since they can no longer produce the same spin by turning their hands over or holding onto the club through impact.
These drivers will make it easier for mid-high handicappers to find the fairway by effectively eliminating one of the two causes of sidespin. They will produce straighter shots and basically go on the plane you swing the club on.
