To me, it really comes down to whether or not the driver fits your game. If you have hit it before and it works, then the price is fabulous. But if you are guessing because of reviews, then I wouldnt do it. Wait and hit some drivers and see which one works best for you.

Pretty decent driver, but I rather the burner. Seems to have much more forgiveness and I hit it further also, probably due to the longer shaft

Have you hit a comparable driver at the range?
Do you use a x flex shaft?
have you checked out ebay for comparable sold price?

Never hit one before. Comparable completed ebay prices are all OVER what I paid. Only a few were cheaper and they were beatup. As far as flex, I use a stiff plaunch blue now and part of the reason I bid on this is because I know this shaft already and I really wanted the nice high launch but stiffer then my current flex. These plaunch blues play VERY soft IMO.

Hit it first. I could never purchase any golf club without hitting it and going under extensive testing to figure out if it's worth the money.

IMHO I would never buy a driver without hitting it.

I could.

Mike: at the very least hit something similiar if you don't have access to that same club. If you are sure you will like this driver though I'd go for it. It seems to have all your looking for.

Definitely hit one first. I just bough the Adams Bul 5000 and absolutely love it.
It would not have been my first choice though. I hit the R7 460 and the big bertha 460 and sasquach SQ2 or whatever that square piece of crap nike made is called. Adams was the cheapest and it added on average about 20-30 yards on the teebox over my old fake ping isi.

I would tend to agree with the rest of the guys feedback. Don't purtchase it because it seems like a "good buy". First thing I ask all my customers is "have you tried the particular club you wish to purchase" ?? If they say NO, I always recommend a quick hit and throw in additional clubs so they see & feel the difference. Nothings BEATS trying before you buy. Good Luck.

I didn't hit my driver before I bought it. Yeah I sucked with it for a bit, but I made myself get better.

Got it today, decent shape. Hit it at lunch, hooked everything possibly because the weights are reversed or possibly because of the closed face at address...

Anyone know where I can borrow the wrench to swap these back to stock?

I'd like to try it standard and see how the results are then.

      Unless I'm misunderstanding something (plausible) the whole point is that that is not block practice. At least not in the terms used in the study that said block practice doesn't help much.

      Who said block practice was mindless? If you are trying to practice a 150-yard draw, 200 times. That isn't mindless. Yuou miss one right more than yo want you adjust. It isn't mindless.  Me practicing how my right hip moves in the backswing over and over again isn't mindless.  Yes, block practice is specifically doing something over and over again. It has its benefit because it can be something so specific you need to work on that it gives you the sheer volume in repetitions you need to go from novice to beginner or slightly competent. You then can go on from there to non-block practice to become proficient.  I disagree with this. If you are hitting a 7-iron to a green over and over, and if the intent is to hit the best shot you can, then that is block practice. You make little adjustments each time even if you are not thinking about them. Though, you can think about them and still call it block practice.  Again, if you know you push one just right, you make an adjustment either subconsciously or consciously. Then you hit the next one, it is right on target. Your brain locks in that as what you want it to be.  Block practice isn't defined as mindless.

      I guess if you're just mindlessly standing there dragging a ball over and hitting it at a green then maybe, but when I go to the range, I'm always taking feedback on what happened and adjusting what I'm doing (very slightly) to change clubface or strike point or whatever else. I suppose if I hit it absolutely perfect, I might try to change nothing, but I'm not sure I've ever hit it perfectly twice in a row.  But that kind of fine tuning I would have thought a month ago was block practice since my goal is the same with the same club and same target for each shot. I was thinking that might be not ideal based on the science that said block practice isn't as good, but now it seems that's not what those scientists meant when they said block practice and the practice I typically do is just fine.  I think it's a semantic issue where misunderstanding what the studies were actually doing is affecting how the outcome of the studies is being interpreted by lay people (like me). So: - block practice is doing the same thing over and over - block practice is not as good as variable practice - me a month ago: going to the range and hitting 7 iron to the same green is doing the same thing over and over therefore the practice I'm doing needs to change - me now: oh - actually hitting that 7 iron to the same green over and over, but making little adjustments each time is not block practice, so therefore the practice I'm doing is fine

      I mean, doesn't it go back to intent. Lets say you hit your 7 iron 150 yards. you aim at the 150 green. You just hit 200 7-iron to that 150-yard green with a small amount of draw to the ball. I would say that is block practice.  To me, that is not different than practicing free throws in basketball.

      It for sure does - I do remember enough of that episode to say that that was my main takeaway from it. I guess it's pretty darn difficult to do block practice with a ball there. Maybe rehearsing a move over and over might be block practice, but even then I'm trying to do that with feedback and adjusting each time according to how the feedback is.
