After about two trips to the range this driver is the best I've every hit !!!! I've always teed my driver shots close and kept topping the ball. Tried teeing it very high and wow ! Right down the middle with about 20 to 30 yards better. My draw and fade are great with this club. Tempo and teeing it high were the keys for me. This is the first new club I bought in awhile, but it was well worth it. I adjusted it to 9.5 degree and neutral. Love it.

I bought this driver last year because my good drives were good but my misses were so much better than my old misses. I love that club and just recently upgraded the shaft to a Black tie 7M3! What a great shaft!

I completely agree.  Some people have a bias against playing Nike clubs for some reason, but their woods and putters are second to none.  I've bought and  sold a few drivers over the years (Titleist 909, Nike VR Pro) when I was looking to "upgrade" from my old Nike SQ 5000, but I hadn't found anything I liked more than the SQ until the Covert came out.

I hit the tour version and hated it, but the standard/performance is a great club.  I'm using the stock Kuro Kage stiff shaft in the neutral setting and upped the loft from my usual 10.5 to 11.5.  I haven't tried all the newest 2014 clubs yet, but the Covert is more forgiving, longer and straighter than any driver I've hit recently.

And not to mention that fact that it's very affordable.  I'm not one to spend $300 on a driver.

    • He's been a top 100 golfer for almost his entire career, yeah. That's not easy to do, especially as you get into your 40s. And, all without any real "superpowers." He's not incredibly great at any one thing. He's very well rounded.
    • Always been a fan of Rose. He seems like a decent human being first of all. When there's some chatter at the tee he says "Quiet guys, please. Thank you" in a friendly tone. He's always given the impression of being a stand-up guy, supportive of his colleagues and competitors. A friendly face. His performance as a golfer is more about consistency through his entire career than the large number of wins. He's always around, but had the potential to win more. This Masters they made a point out of him having almost twice as many lead/co-lead rounds without a win than the next guy on the list. 11 wins on the PGA Tour, 11 on the European Tour and the single major, but a lot of top ten finishes. Erik's comparison to Adam Scott is on point, as the stats demonstrates in the images below. Starting their careers during the reign of Tiger didn't make things easier, but there are few players with more than 15 wins on the PGAT the last ~30 years. I only counted eight from this list. I'd love to see him win at Augusta. Rory is one of very few players I'd pick over Rose.
    • I didn't know until this past week that Rose holds the record for the most times having the lead after day one of The Masters.  He must really love those Day 1 pin placements.  
    • I think Rose is great. Much respect to his consistency, professionalism, work off-course and a never give-up attitude. But I have mixed feelings about his Masters campaign. Afterall, the dude came within a putt of ruining the perfect ending to probably the greatest unfinished story in golf. 😱
