Geek dot com this driver's

Just a call out to anyone whom has owned,tried,etc. these driver heads. Thanks

I have not, but if you check golfdiscussions.com there are lots of Geek reviews. I plan to buy one just based on the reviews. Low Launch low spin. Buy a higher loft than you are used to for a couple reasons:

1. TaylorMade, Callaway, Cleveland, Titleist drivers have more loft than marked (my Cleveland Launcher Comp marked 10.5 degrees turns out to e 12 degrees!). My friend's Callaway FT-5 9.5 is actually 10.5! We took several drivers to a fitter to have them measured. No wonder my comp goes so high! Looks like a pitching wedge in flight.

2. Geek puts weight behind the sweet spot which makes the ball spin less and launch a few degrees lower.
3. Apparently if a Dot Com This is marked 9 degrees, it IS 9 degrees!

In most brands, I need a 9.5, in Geek I'm deciding between 10.5 & 12.

Are these USGA conforming? They look pretty neat. I'm not in the market for a new driver anytime soon, but if they do a demo day, I would be tempted to at least hit one a few times.

I've got a 10.5* Aldila VS Proto 70-S combo @45.5"
Only hit it in a simulator though. When the weather breaks I'll break it in. From everyone I've spoken to and ALL the reviews, I'd say it'll be a keeper. Got a 3 wood and 5 wood also. The 3 wood isn't going anywhere and I built the 5 wood today.

Do you find yours' launches much lower than a standard Cally, Titleist, TM etc. with the same loft?

Took mine to the range day after the Sim. it was cold, but looks promising! I was really impressed with the 3 Wood.

Shindig,

Here you go: http://www.usga.org/equipment/confor...ub_results.asp Looks like they are okay per USGA.

I know this thread started over a month ago, but I thought it best to comment on this line right here. Firstly, even the component heads are all going to be +-1 degree or so. That is, a 10.5 could be anywhere between 9.5 and 11.5. This is on contrast to most OEM heads that will say 9.5, and their loft will be between 9.5 and 12 -- they almost never are below their marked loft. However, and this is the big thing, when you order a component head, almost no one would give you a second thought if you asked for a "hand picked" one to be exactly the loft you want. That is, if you want an 11 degree driver head, just ask for a head that has been hand-measured to be exactly 11 degrees. You don't have to waiver between 10.5 and 12 -- you can split the difference with an 11.25 head if you want, or anything in between. Just another perk of going with a component head.

I bought one with a Matrix Ozik Xcon 6 shaft. It's marked 12 degree, but was handpicked at 11. This combination is the bomb. I took it to the range twice this weekend. It has a great flat launch and carries a long way, then runs on landing. It feels really solid, I would compare the feel to either the old Taylor Made R510 DF or maybe R510 TP. If you've hit either, you'll know what I mean. It's kicking the other drivers out of my bag.

Next one will have a 6X07 in it for comparison.
