Just ditched my TM burner for this club. Sold my TM burner to my buddy for $160. Launch monitor results:

Ball Speed Max: 169
Ball Speed Ave: 163
Max Drive: 283
Max Carry: 270
Ave Drive: 259
Ave Carry: 248
Spread: 25 yrds

Play tested for 2 holes, both drives strait and long. I get very little sidespin from this driver, love the 45" shaft. Dont hesitate to give this puppy a test drive if you are in the market.

My setup:
9.5* Stiff Flex
Golf Pride New Decade - Blue

MX500 9.5* S
Burrows Golf MAC Powersphere 3W
IDEA PRO Irons

Congrads dude, I don't want to rain on your parade, cuz theres a chance that you'll have some added success with it, but one of my friends test played a club at a retailer, it also said that he carried a drive 316. His longest drive that he's ever hit with it on the course is 260. Again, differnent store, differnt swing, I wish you the best. Let me know how you hit it on the course.

There are some shops out there that like to "juice" their monitor reports. Guess it helps them sell more clubs.

Well you cant juice the monitor when I was comparing it directly to my current driver. It was VERY accurate at modeling my Burners ballflight. Plus I compared the two on the range afterwards and in a golfing situation the Mizuno is hands down better for me. My first drive with it on the course was the longest drive I have ever hit on that particular hole.

i purchased that driver about a week ago, if you make contact on the toe instead of the sweet spot it still goes a good distance. And for $150, the deal is even sweeter.

Usually use NXT Extreme's or HX Hot's

Well I took this puppy out today and the results were great. No OB, only 1 stroke of penalty on drives for hitting into a lake lining the left side of one fairway. On the par 5's I hit a 8i, 6i, 3H for my second shots!

Shot the best score of my life with a 79 :)

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By xrayvizhen · Posted

      I'm not sure you're calculating the number of strokes you would need to give correctly. The way I figure it, a 6.9 index golfer playing from tees that are rated 70.8/126 would have a course handicap of 6. A 20-index golfer playing from tees that are rated 64/106 would have a course handicap of 11. Therefore, based on the example above, assuming this is the same golf course and these index & slope numbers are based on the different tees, you should only have to give 5 strokes (or one stroke on the five most difficult holes if match play) not 6. Regardless, I get your point...the average golfer has no understanding of how the system works and trying to explain it to people, who haven't bothered to read the documentation provided by either the USGA or the R&A, is hopeless. In any case, I think the WHS as it currently is, does the best job possible of leveling the playing field and I think most golfers (obviously, based on the back & forth on this thread, not all golfers) at least comprehend that.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By mdl · Posted

      Yes it's true in a large sample like a tournament a bunch of 20 handicaps shouldn't get 13 strokes more than you. One of them will have a day and win. But two on one, the 7 handicap is going to cover those 13 strokes the vast majority of the time. 20 handicaps are shit players. With super high variance and a very asymmetrical distribution of scores. Yes they shoot 85 every once in a while. But they shoot 110 way more often. A 7 handicap's equivalent is shooting 74 every once in a while but... 86 way more often?
