Well i've had my carbon composit driver for a few weeks now and I though I'd like to give some feedback to the forum. First off I really like how I hit this driver, I previously left my driver at home because I had such a problem hitting it. The problem(s) with the driver are related to quality, and now I see why it was on special for $99. The first problem I had was with the finish, the epoxy type top coat seems to flake off quite easily. The second problem was that the epoxy on the shaft wasn't properly bound and I had to get it re-glued, it started loosening up after a few rounds, and trips to the range. The third problem may not be related to the quality of the club, but I have a strange "dent" on the driver, and I am not sure if it from some impact driving around in the cart, my trunk or from striking a ball on the heel with a bad swing. All in all i'm happy with the driver since I don't care too much about how it looks if I hit is long and straight, but some people may be turned off by the finish problem. I had 1" chopped off the shaft (down to 44") per some suggestions I read, hope it improves my driving even more.

... Sorry you're having a problem .... but Carbon tops (*all manufacturers*) have a tendency to scar if you get underneath them enough -- I know from personal experience ..l.o.l...

It seems the "early" technology and the early runs had a tendency to flake across the entire golf market. The good news.? - Tour Edge has a lifetime warranty .. if you call them and get a RA#, you can send it back now, or send it back in 5 months when the weather is cooler and they will replace it with a brand new head .... in my case, I played it for 3 months and waited til' November to send it back last year and they sent me a a whole new driver ... I just had to regrip it with the Winn I prefer. ----
Whats in the bag.?

Driver: Tour Edge 10* Jmax 460 Carbon with the Fuji Vista Pro 50 shaft/and, the Burrows 10.5* MAC 421cc with the Grafalloy Pro Launch 55 shaft.
Woods: only one left after switching to hybrids - Adams ST #7 22*.
Hybrids: Tour Edge 20*, 24*, 30*, 36*, 41* and the 50* Attack Wedge...

Oddly it flakes on the rear edge as well. The ball flight is good still though. I'm going to get contacts today so I can start to see where my drives land.

Ok, after about a month of 3-4 rounds a week I love this driver. It looks like shit with the flaking but do looks matter when I can drive 80% playable around 260 yards? I was driving right with the B player in our scramble this thursday, and blew the C player out of the water. I have had an off day or two with it, but for the most part this club has my confidence over any other in my bag right now. Best $99 I've spent this year, and I think having it cut to 44" has just sweetened the deal.

... Sounds like money well spent ...

Just remember to get an RA# from Tour Edge and when the weather gets cold and cranky you can send it back and they'll give you a new club - minus the love bites.

      However, have you ever considered using small summer houses for such setups? They offer a great solution for creating dedicated practice areas, especially for an affluent audience looking to enhance their outdoor living space.

      Favorite Las Vegas Course

      I've played Bali Hai, Bear's Best and Painted Desert. I enjoyed Bali Hai the most--course was in great shape, friendly staff and got paired in a great group. Bear's Best greens were very fast, didn't hold the ball well (I normally have enough spin to stop the ball after 1-2 hops).  The sand was different on many holes. Some were even dark sand (recreation of holes from Hawaii). Unfortunately I was single and paired with a local "member" who only played the front 9.  We were stuck behind a slow 4-some who wouldn't let me through even when the local left. Painted Desert was decent, just a bit far from the Strip where we were staying.
