Today I saw this club in a pro shop, and had to hit it. I favor a draw faced club and this one seems to be somewhat closed. It is a 10 degree with a voodoo 60-r shaft. I hit this club quite well but the shaft felt a bit on the spongy side to me. Tomarrow I am going to try the same club with a stifer flex. My question is I havent been able to find much out about this club. I do see that shafts can be changed quite easily. Also these drivers seem to be able to be pickup up for less than 100 dollars. Does anyone have any imput about these drivers? Is the face angle closed at address?

Thanks, Gene

I currently use a 9° IZ with the stock stiff shaft.  Personally I love it I believe it is a touch shorter than most drivers which I feel gives more control.  As for at address The club head is closed slightly, but only a little and can be manouvered to your preference very easily.

I would definately recommend it great driver and you can get it for dirt cheap.

well, today I took the same club out with a stiffer shaft. The performance of the driver was not as good as the vodoo golf shaft. Golf shafts are so different from one another. The regular shafted club allowed me to work the ball a bit more. Definitly felt softer at impact also. My swing speed runs from 90 to around 98. I played yesterday with it and pulled more shots with it than any other driver I have had in the past. Now a pull is not good either. It has to be controlled also. But because I was hitting the ball a bit more square, I did notice a difference in the distance I was able to drive the ball. This should be a great driver. I need to give it some time, and practice with it. I am one of those guys who believes a driver is a very important club in the bag. But only if you know how to use it. I need to be able to slow it down for control on tight, and difficult holes, but also be able to let it out on some more open holes. I think if I give this club a little time it will be just great!!

They are a great driver, one of Callaways best i think , i have a 9deg with a prolaunch platinum, very forgiving , nice mid ballflight that just stays in the air. I wont even be looking at a new driver for a long time.

      However, have you ever considered using small summer houses for such setups? They offer a great solution for creating dedicated practice areas, especially for an affluent audience looking to enhance their outdoor living space.

      I've played Bali Hai, Bear's Best and Painted Desert. I enjoyed Bali Hai the most--course was in great shape, friendly staff and got paired in a great group. Bear's Best greens were very fast, didn't hold the ball well (I normally have enough spin to stop the ball after 1-2 hops).  The sand was different on many holes. Some were even dark sand (recreation of holes from Hawaii). Unfortunately I was single and paired with a local "member" who only played the front 9.  We were stuck behind a slow 4-some who wouldn't let me through even when the local left. Painted Desert was decent, just a bit far from the Strip where we were staying.

      Day 106 - Worked on chipping/pitching. Focus was feeling the club fall to the ground as my body rotated through.

      Honestly, unless there's something about that rough there that makes it abnormally penal or a lost ball likely, this might be the play. I don't know how the mystrategy cone works, but per LSW, you don't use every shot for your shot zones. In that scatter plot, you have no balls in the bunker, and 1 in the penalty area. The median outcome seems to be a 50 yard pitch. Even if you aren't great from 50 yards, you're better off there than in a fairway bunker or the penalty area on the right of the fairway. It could also be a strategy you keep in your back pocket if you need to make up ground. Maybe this is a higher average score with driver, but better chance at a birdie. Maybe you are hitting your driver well and feel comfortable with letting one rip.  I get not wanting to wait and not wanting to endanger people on the tee, but in a tournament, I think I value playing for score more than waiting. I don't value that over hurting people, but you can always yell fore 😆 Only thing I would say is I'm not sure whether that cone is the best representation of the strategy (see my comment above about LSW's shot zones). To me, it looks like a 4 iron where you're aiming closer to the bunker might be the play. You have a lot of shots out to the right and only a few to the left. Obviously, I don't know where you are aiming (and this is a limitation of MyStrategy), but it seems like most of your 4 iron shots are right. You have 2 in the bunker but aiming a bit closer to the bunker won't bring more of your shots into the bunker. It does bring a few away from the penalty area on the right.  This could also depend on how severe the penalties are for missing the green. Do you need to be closer to avoid issues around the green?  It's not a bad strategy to hit 6 iron off the tee, be in the fairway, and have 150ish in. I'm probably overthinking this.
