After about two trips to the range this driver is the best I've every hit !!!! I've always teed my driver shots close and kept topping the ball. Tried teeing it very high and wow ! Right down the middle with about 20 to 30 yards better. My draw and fade are great with this club. Tempo and teeing it high were the keys for me. This is the first new club I bought in awhile, but it was well worth it. I adjusted it to 9.5 degree and neutral. Love it.

I bought this driver last year because my good drives were good but my misses were so much better than my old misses. I love that club and just recently upgraded the shaft to a Black tie 7M3! What a great shaft!

I completely agree.  Some people have a bias against playing Nike clubs for some reason, but their woods and putters are second to none.  I've bought and  sold a few drivers over the years (Titleist 909, Nike VR Pro) when I was looking to "upgrade" from my old Nike SQ 5000, but I hadn't found anything I liked more than the SQ until the Covert came out.

I hit the tour version and hated it, but the standard/performance is a great club.  I'm using the stock Kuro Kage stiff shaft in the neutral setting and upped the loft from my usual 10.5 to 11.5.  I haven't tried all the newest 2014 clubs yet, but the Covert is more forgiving, longer and straighter than any driver I've hit recently.

And not to mention that fact that it's very affordable.  I'm not one to spend $300 on a driver.

    • No. But if I can still play next year, I'll almost certainly be even worse. That's the reality of not being young.🙁  
    • I use GPS;  it may not be as accurate, but neither am I.
    • Back in my Army days a "gooch" was a particular part of the anatomy. Example, say Okeechobee is the b-hole of Florida, then Belle Glade would be the gooch. Seems he wears his name well.
    • I can't say that I remember a lot of individual putts, but I do have one specific memory.  The first time I played the Old Course, I had hit a pretty good drive on the 6th hole.  I had about 60 yards left, and due to the swale in front of the green, there was no chance of flying a wedge on or near the green and having it stop on the green.  My caddie recommended either a running 7-iron chip or a putt, and I took the putter and a pretty hard swing.  The ball rolled over humps and through hollows, disappeared into the swale in front of the green, and re-appeared heading right at the hole.  I ended up maybe 12 feet away.  The caddie turned and held out his hand to shake mine, and said "Now THAT was a golf shot!"
    • For the first time since 2021, I made a 3 on the 12th at Stoneleigh.    395 yards, something like 80 feet uphill, I hit a solid drive and a 7-wood to inside a foot.  Even I couldn't miss that one.  I feel like I haven't played a lot of golf this year, but I'm making decent progress.
