Since becoming serious about this silly game last year I've been without a driver. I had a 13 yo regular flex Wilson made out of steel. I was all over the place with it, so I went without. I bought this from rock bottom for $57 with a stiff shaft. Fed-ex just delivered my new baby. I went out and had a few pokes just for fun. After overswinging the first two balls and slicing them into oblivion I settled down and she started rocketing them straight and out of sight...and the sound...ahhh heaven!!

I know this is a useless thread, but I'm pumped to get back on the course with a driver.

Great purchase in my opinion--see my other posts! Best club i've ever bought. Love the look, feel, sound, and most importantly results (ok, i do hate the headcover...). Get yourself some other shafts and wrench on ebay, or perhaps even a 2nd head with a different loft (and different shaft) from Rockbottom, and voila, you have your own custom fitting van for less than $200.

I think interchangeable shafts at a $400 price point was a dismal failure -- people willing to pay that price for new clubs are also the ones willing/able to pay for demo days, launch monitors, and custom-ordered latest model clubs -- they never needed interchangeable shaft technology. But at $57, the Evolver now brings "home" club fitting to the common man! (at least before they disappear over the next few years)

Driver: Cleveland Classic 270, 10.5*

Just ordered the 9* Draw spec myself...can't wait for it to get here. Had bought an R7 draw but it was deliverd with a cracked shaft so I sent it back. For 57$ you can't go wrong. If I don't like it someone will buy it for a deal like that. Mine has the UST V2 reg shaft. May end up putting a stiff in it. I already have a VS proto By You 60 I got cheap to put in it if I need to.

Get ready for a shock if your wanting an adjustable CYG hosel. Ebay has one with one hour left and it is already 50$. They were 15$ a few months ago. There are also 3 nice shafts with CYG hosels thats at 91$, but has a lot of time left. I checked all over the net before buying my DX draw to see if the CYG hosels are avaliable and the only one I found was the one on ebay.

Driver.... Nickent DX Evolver V2 65 stiff /07 Burner YS6+ stiff .

Ummm, yeah.....well the first 9 with the new driver didn't go all bad or great. I only hit 2 of 7 fairways, but 4 of the other 5 were only off by 3-10 yards. Mostly slight pulls and pushes with one giant banana slice on a par five where I tried to murder it which ended in the adjacent fairway. The two in the fairway went 247 and 245 with no roll. I definitely need more practice, and that's just what I did when I got home. I hit about 30 balls and discovered that in order not to push/pull or slice I have to make what feels like a severe in to out move. It probably doesn't look like it, but it feels bad. I have a natural inside out move anyway, but it feels extreme.

AT any rate I think this is a great club for $57!!

    • That was a good watch. When I started working on pelvis in the backswing. I thought, this sounds contradictory to those leg straightening threads on the site. Erik has already done a correction. Then the last lesson we went more down the route of feeling the right knee gains flex. It doesn’t, but the feeling keeps my knee position in a good range. Also, I just realized how much extra work my right hip needed to do to stabilize the body with the proper weight shift. Those glute and hip stabilizers got worked. 🤣 I wish this evolution in the golf instruction happened 20 years ago! 😭
    • I've been Playing Golf for: 40 yrs My current handicap index or average score is: 4.0 factor My typical ball flight is: Straight however sometimes slight draw. The shot I hate or the "miss" I'm trying to reduce/eliminate is: squirt to the right due to to much arm not enough turn.

    • The first issue Erik spoke about is something we worked on for my swing during both GEARS sessions. GEARS was showing my pelvis center moving towards the ball during the back swing. I wasn’t the 4” guy though! This forced me to correct on the downswing to give myself space. My hip rotation was to high as well. We corrected it by first getting the weight off my heels in my stance and getting my posture correct. Then the feel was shifting back into my right hip at a 45 degree angle. This kept my pelvis center from moving towards the ball at the start of the backswing. I also didn’t sway back as much as I felt I did because of the angle I was shifting. Feel Ain’t Real. The cool thing about GEARS is as you work on something you can see the exact (Real) change happening. On video, it is much harder to spot this issue because of the 2D nature of filming. But I know what to look for now. Sadly, I was hurt all last year and most of this year so I really haven’t been able to work on it much. I did do a lot of backswing work though.
