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...

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      Day 82: mirror work again tonight. Working on the same shoulder down and roll and twist stuff. Going on vacation tomorrow and putting the clubs down, so new streak starts in about 10 days!

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By Shindig · Posted

      Day 44, June 17.  Today was some preliminary stretching, exploring what I'll want to set up as a regular routine (both while on vacation without clubs and when I'm back) (aside: this is part of an upcoming goal to stretch daily in a meaningful way, but I don't plan to count it as practice on days that I can meaningfully practice with a club)

      Too Old?

      By RetiredOldMan · Posted

      Having a rough week. Went to the Dr. because I was really weak and could hardly swing my driver.  I take Propranolol 20 mg tablets twice a day. Seems like the Propranolol was driving my pulse down (low 50's).  So we cut the dosage in half and I started taking my blood pressure. It was a little high but pulse came up.   Then yesterday I raised it to 15 mg tab by taking it 3 times a day. Blood pressure 127 / 77 Pulse 75.  Heading out tomorrow morning for 18 holes.    I have my driver set at 10.5* but seem to have my swing speed to low and I can't get the lift on the ball I need.  I have not played this week in hopes I will have the strength to raise my swing speed. I may have to raise my loft to 12* . (I will take my driver wrench) tomorrow. (This Parkinson's is a pain in the butt.)  Will give you a report when I get back.    Retired Old Man, Terry

      My Swing (Gestate0560)

      You still got to lift your arms. You basically just roll your wrist over in the 1st half of the backswing.
