Ok maybe I'm a little hopped up and extremely happy with my experience with this driver. Bias aside, the numbers I gave were true. I believe a majority of the added distance came from my ability to swing faster with the stiffer shaft without my hands getting too far in front of the clubface. My GBB has a similar shaft and I get better distance than I did on my FT-iZ but not as far as the SP2.0TP did. The FT-iZ would put me in the fairway more cosistently than the GBB. Therefore, my choice of club between the two was the FT-iZ which I consciencely had to tell my self to swing slower. The SF2.0TP felt great and put me in the fairway or close everytime I hit it AND I didnt have to slow down my swing. The amount of control I had was amazing. I was giving my personal experience, and yes 40-50 yards gain was my personal experience. If you compare it to my GBB then that number may be closer to 20-15. A majority of that distance may have been from being able to swing faster rather than head shape, wind resistance, increased COR, etc., but in a game with so many variables there really is no experimental way for someone to justify from one experience that this is the best club in the market. I'm just trying to share to anyone out there looking for a driver that they should try this line because they could be missing out.

I purchased the Taylormade Superfast 2.0 TP and am still blown away by the results much to the same magnitude as I was blown away when Callaway first came out with the Great Big Bertha and I closeted my Orlamar back in the late 90's. I am 5' 8" 190lbs with a natural 110-115 mph swing speed that was forcefully slowed down to 95-100 mph by my old Callaway FT-iZ with a "stiff" shaft that hit the ball 275-280 on a good drive. I went to golfsmith looking to modify that club with a stiffer shaft. After looking at shafts that matched my swing speed I realized that the only cost effective way to fix this was to trade in my old club for a new one. The friendly man at golfsmith handed me a barely used SF2.0TP. On the simulator I was hitting it 300 consistently, with one that was 364, but at the time I was sure that this was just some computer that was giving me fake data to sell me the club. However, it felt a ton better than my old driver so I made the trade plus $100 and went straight to the range. With my FT-iZ and GBB I played a draw with an occasional snap hook. When I hit this club it either went dead straight, or cut. I tried to draw it and successfully did a few times, but found that the cut shot it wanted to play was alot more consistant than any forced draw that I hit. My first time to hit it on the course was playing 18 holes yesterday in a work tournament of 36 teams. I started off trying to hit my draw with little success but after the first five driving holes I gave in and played a cut down the left hand side of the fairway. From that point on, my day got better and better. The last three holes I played, I nearly drove a 360 yard green on a dogleg right hole, and the last hole was the long drive hole playing uphill into the wind where I won the competition with a 320 yard shot. Last month I was playing a Callaway FT-iZ, hitting the ball 275-280... maybe an occasional 300 once a round if the wind blew correctly. I went from this to winning long drive competitions and hitting the occasional ball nearly 350 just by purchasing a driver. I gained a consistent 40-50 yards on my drives. The shot shape is not my favorite but it is cosistent and predictable. The shaft is perfect for my swing speed and the club is a great feel to hit. My next driver (if there is a next driver) will definately be a taylormade.
