I got my Hyper X non tour, stock Fujikura regular flex shaft, about 6 or 7 weeks ago. I am very fond of it and have hit some of my best drives with it. I had no intention of buying this driver. I went to Golfsmith to try out the new Cobra composite driver. I also tried the TaylorMade CBG Max. I never asked the salesman about the Callaway. He just handed it to me after I hit the TaylorMade. The numbers on the launch monitor showed I popped the Callaway a bit straighter and more consistent than the others.

My experience on the course has shown me that it is every bit as forgiving as the Cobra LD Fspeed it replaced and, for whatever reason, I am able to get the ball down the fairway a bit farther with the Hyper X than with my Cobra.

I couldn't be happier with the Hyper X.

i tried this out last weekend. (my ft-5 got cracked and i had to send it callaway to see if they will send me a new one). but the hyper x is a pretty nice club, it was the regular not tour. it was working great for me. 13 out of 14 drives were perfect down the middle with atleast 265 yards on all of the drives. the 1 that missed, i didn't get the face closed in time and hit it out right but further than everyone else in my grouping. i would recommend this driver but if you can get the ft-5, go for it. only thing i don't like about the
ft-5 is the sound when you hit it. sounds like a loud click.

The responses have come from two double digit handicappers (thanks, guys). Is there no lower handicap players playing this club? Is it too new to ask for opinions?

Perhaps the lower handicappers don't care so much for a club that maximizes distance on off-center hits? They might be more in line with the FT-5 or something...

      Fantastic selection! And very little driving between them. Fingers crossed the weather is good to you.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By ConorHealy · Posted

      Day 20: 2026.01.22 Hit about twenty balls at the range. Quietly pleased with how the changes are bedding in, surprsingly consistent ball flight. Hoping to film over the weekend to capture new movement.

      Looking for a Possible Equipment Switch

      By WUTiger · Posted

      You might also consider a tune-up lesson. Check and see if anything in your set-up or basic swing is holding you back. I have been playing for more than five decades, but on occasion I've had to make swing tweaks due to age, loss of flexibility, etc. You don't have to reinvent your swing. A couple of static set-up changes might really help out.

      Minimum Exercise for Strength and Muscle Growth

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Good advice. In general, you want to take whatever weight you are lifting to a couple of reps before failure, for muscle growth. There are other tactics for PT related stuff. I would trust your PT person.  For muscle growth, you can go like 30 reps to failure. It is tougher to gauge. Also, it takes 2x as long to do the same number of working sets per week if you are doing 15 instead. It is way less efficient, but your case is special because of the injury/aggravation to the hip.

      Ever Get Paired up With a Twosome Including a 2 Year Old?

      By WUTiger · Posted

      Several years ago I got paired with a twosome of golfers, one of which had a maybe 5-year-old son with him. The kid had a putter and a 7i with him, and on some holes he would drop a ball near the green, chip on, and putt. If the kid started to get distracted, the dad would ask, "Do you need to rest?" The kid would nod yes, and then take his dad's seat riding in the cart for a couple of holes. It was a slow day, and the kid was polite and friendly. We got through 18 just fine. (If it had been a crowded course day, I'm sure it would have been less pleasant.)
