Just tweeted pics of a prototype driver he's testing from Cleveland. Deep face, 9*, 46.5", Aldila green RIP. The 290 probably stands for the weight, Cleveland is really pushing the lighter heads.

I would hit that! About 245 yards and just into the right rough, if history is any guide.

It looks pretty cool... the only thing I don't like is the "ultralight-ness" of it... I never hit those type of clubs well.

I agree, I'd bet there is no way the head he's testing is actually 290 grams. [quote name="Zeph" url="/t/54173/graeme-mcdowells-prototype-driver-pics#post_659188"]It would probably look good without the gold stuff.[/quote] Companies are running out of ideas lol. Until they start putting in the $ to find different materials, I think we'll be seeing more clubs like this

Everyone is wanting to go "retro" these days...

46.5" is a LONG driver and Graeme is short.  How does he hit that thing!

This might be the driver I need to complete my Cleveland fanboy setup ('09 Launcher 3w, TA7-2-iron, TA1 or TA3 irons, 588 wedges, Classic 2 putter, Srixon balls, that they've already put my average driver distance on the toe which is a nice touch), but Graeme needs to find the white balance on his digital camera. No way that thing is that yellow.

Don't know if it's just me but it sounded a bit strange?

Can't say I'm a fan. Then again, despite the large "290" badging, it just screams heavy to me, since my brain sees it and immediately thinks that it's made of persimmon.

      My Swing (Gestate0560)

      Yes, because you have lifted to like 120° without bending the left elbow. So when you turn and the left elbow bends… it bends in such a way that you then lower your left humerus and pull the club around you.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By WillieT · Posted

      Day 3 (23 Jun 26) - Grandson put in to play this morning when he arrived at the house.  He wanted to play a full 18 from the "purple" tees (these are custom tees that play shorter than our gold but longer than the red) in a best (super) ball duet.  Was a great day working on course management - seeing him play well (for a 10yr old) - for example, hole 12 has a temp green about 100 yds from the tee box, he hits a solid 8i to 4' pin high and nails a birdie putt.  Could have never been prouder.  These are the moments grandfathers dream of - and hopefully the memories he will recall when his day comes to be Paw-paw for his grandson....may the game live on.

      Posted a couple swings here. I think my attempt to blend the movement still results in a more “around” back swing?
