Wow. Just wow. 20 yards longer than anything I'd ever hit. Not the best feel on the club face and goes a little too straight, but for distance and accuracy as good as anything I've ever hit.

What's in the bag:

Driver: Adams 9064LS (project RIP Shaft) 9.5 degree
3 Wood: Titleist 909R 14.5 degree
Hybrid 3-iron: 19 degree Tour Professional (bent to 18 degrees)Hybrid 4-iron: 21 degree Tour ProfessionalIrons: Tour X-20 5-PW Project X 6.0 shaftsGap Wedge: Mizuno MP10 52.08 Sand Wedge: Mizuno MP10 58.10 Lob Wedge: Nike 62.06

hahaha I just did :P
Is this the driver Bubba Was using in the PGA?
I still have my doubt that the driver would be 20yards longer. Thats one 99% of people say when they go out and try new clubs.

Anyways, I think we have a Ping demo night in a few weeks near my home course. Ill have to give it a hit.

It could potentially add 20 yards, but that's assuming the head shaft combination was just better fit for the player than their current driver. Assuming shafts are about the same, etc., no you won't gain 20 yards. A low handicap player especially likely won't gain much distance as their swing is probably pretty good already and they're likely playing with good equipment already.

Are you going to buy one then? I'm still waiting for them to hit the golf stores in my neck of the woods.

DRIVER: Big Bertha Diablo 10 degree draw, Aldila regular flex

I got to hit one today and have to say that for me it wasnt 20 yards longer. To be honest, I like the feel of the G-15 a bit better and for whatever reason I was hooking it a bit. I am assuming they have moved weight around in the head a bit and it wasnt really all that great for me. If you gained 20 yards I would buy it right away at your HCI

In the bag:
G-15 9 degree with Proforce V2
Ping Anser V-2
MP-52 3-PW, JPX-800 Pros 3-PW
52-08, 56-11 Vokeys G-15 15.5 3W G-10 5W

It is very hard to believe that a hc 2.6 with a matching driver, adds 20 yds with a stock from the rack recreational golfer's GI driver ......

I went to a golf store today buy some Wedges. When I was in there, I seen this driver, Gave it a hit.... must say, i hate the feel and the ball launch in sooo High.

Might be good for sombody that hits the ball very low, but I did not like it.

[QUOTE=CrazyXGolfer;511270]So your telling me im going to be hitting my 7 Iron about 190 yards?


Although you mis-read the title, consider that manufacturers and those who peddle their equipment tend to claim "10 yards further," on each successive line of clubs. So, why do I hit a G5 driver the same distance as a G15?

Or maybe I should simply acquire a set of TaylorMade irons. I'm sure their 2-iron... I mean 5-iron would give me about 210 yards on every shot now.
