I find it discouraging and somewhat hilarious that I still sky the ball, toe it, blade it, etc. with a 460cc faced driver. Usually I don't but when I do it's like I feel the golfers of old rolling over in their graves.

OP this was a pretty simple find... Were you just bored and just asked the question without searching the net

"My ball is on top of a rock in the hazard, do I get some sort of relief?"

The main character in the video looks like he has a 80 mph swing.

Yep. Bet he was barely getting the balls airborne to about 170 yards. In other news, I think I would still miss the sweet spot on that club 50% of the time.

I bought this for my kids, and of course had a go with it myself.  Very difficult to get any height or distance even with the tee.  Off the deck it may as well be a "tour striker" - like training aid.  Requires a perfect descending blow to elevate the ball more than a few inches.

If you still have a Kmart nearby they usually carry the "Green Monster" 520cc driver.  I would guess that it is no more forgiving than a quality 460cc stick.

If you just want a giant face on your driver so you don't whiff, then get a Cleveland Classic or Custom 270 or 290.  Largest, deepest face in golf (but the dirty secret is that they lack horizontal MOI due to the overly tall face).

A local pro shop has a 750cc drive head they sell. I'm sure you could do a search online.

    • I don’t measure my intake either. I generally have a black coffee, a bottle of soda, some sweet tea at home, and anything in between is water. An ice cold bottle of water is one of my favorite things. It feels like an immediate refresher for my body. I’ll admit that I need to drink a little more though. 
    • For such a nice membership, there have been some bad incidents in the past few years.  We had someone voted out a couple of years ago over something he did and he harassed the board members for three months until he moved out of the area.   Generally they’ve tried to do things like tournament handicaps and identify certain people who they know should be lower and adjust it somehow.  I can understand not wanting to go thru something like the guy who was voted out again i emailed the pro who forwarded it to the handicap committee.  They are going to see what can be done.  I walked someone thru what happened and they are going to nudge him to post the score from the match and see what he does.  Since he didn’t put anything in the electronic scoring past 13, based on how he played 14 and 15 plus having to take bogey on 16-18 for after he left, he should post 83.  We’ll see if it’s even higher,   Since he was really even thru 13, then doubled 14 and parred 15 my guess is he really shot 75 being generous and giving him 2 pars and a bogey on the three holes he didn’t play.    i shot 88, getting 16 shots for my course handicap which is net even and I lost on 13.  We do brackets where handicaps should be within 4-5 of each other.  Most matches only have 1-2 shots as a difference between players  neither of us posted the score yet.  There was something in the match play rules about whether or not to post your score.  I couldn’t remember if we were supposed to or not.  I don’t think he was going to post that, because even with his inflated score it would be the lowest score in his recent 20. Lucky I didn’t because they want to see what he does post and they don’t want me posting so he can try to calibrate his score.
