CS-3 10.5 Draw
I bought this from the Callaway Outlet site while waiting for a Big Bertha driver to come up. I'm so glad I bought this one. As a beginner, I've sliced my drives into the woods so many times, its not even funny. Scores were either 7 or 8's .This past week I shot a 104 which is the closest I've ever gotten to a 100. Drives went straight and high onto the fairway. Did not lose a ball in the rough the whole time.

I know now why they are selling for $100. Lacks distance and the sound is awful! Will keep it in the fairway though. Just could not get past the sound of this club. |

10.5 degree
10-15 yds shorter than some of the other drivers out there, but straighter than all. The most workable driver I've played since going to a driver of this size. Sounds a little funny when you first start playing it, but your foursome won't laugh at the noise when they see how high and perfect your cut shot is. |

After reading so many good things about this club, price included, I bid and won on ebay (less than $100.00). I tryed it at the range today, and I must say it is a good club. Yes the ball flight is high, which minimizes roll, but your ball will stay in the fairway. I am using the Aldila NV-H 70R shaft which was designed for this club head and works well. I can the hit the ball 280 with this club, and with the high trajectory, most of that 280 is carry. Seems this club plays better with a high swing speed.

Draw Bias 10.5 Degree
I purchased this driver for ~$100 after reading reviews on this and several other sites. Let me just say I've hit more fairways with the Ben Hogan in the past month than I hit all year last year! It's not the longest driver out there, but it has to be one of the most forgiving.

C-S3 9.5* Neutral Bias Stiff flex
I purchased this driver off tgw.com for $99. I love it, not because of the low price, but because it is an outstanding golf club. It is extremely forgiving, I am consistently getting 270+ on mis-hits. I gained about 10 yards on the solid hits compared to my King Cobra tour driver. I really like the Aldila shaft that came on the driver as well. Customer Service I havent had to contact customer service. Similar Products Used: I have tried all the latest... Cleveland Launcher, TM R7, etc. and I like this one as well as any driver I have ever hit. |

Not one to spend big money on clubs I recently bought this driver now that pricing is well under $100. I purchased the 10.5 w/ regular shaft - draw bias. Previously I hit high fades, a few slices, and hard pulls. This driver is nearly impossible to use for hitting a slice or fade. Everything thus far has been straight, slight draw, and a few (very few) hooks. Distance is not much better than my old driver, but I'm much more confident on the tee and pleased with where the ball ends up. I estimate the ball flight to be as high as with my 3 wood - if not higher. This driver hits them high, very high. In conclusion I estimate this driver saving me 2-3 strokes a round from accuracy alone. Get one while you still can. Similar Products Used: Callaway 454 just as accurate and a little longer, but not worth the extra $$$ for 5-10 yards. More forgiving than the TM420. In each case the Hogan hits them the highest. |

First of all, I am not one who has to have the latest and greatest in golf equipment. A high price tag does not guarantee one hit fairway or one made putt. I purchased CS3 online for $99. This is a great club for the money. I considered and tried the TM r580xd and the Great Big Bertha and they have nothing on the Hogan CS3. I am using a 10.5 draw to offset my fade and it works. You don't have to break the bank to get a great driver. Thanks Ben Hogan. Customer Service N/A Similar Products Used: Great Big Bertha |

I have a bone to pick with this Hogan company. I truly believe that this club was very poorly made. I'm a fairly good golfer, and I've had my share of nicks and crannies on the golf course, but this driver is absolutely ridiculous. I purchased the club for about a hundred dollars on the edwin watts golf shop website. I played a few rounds with the club and the sound of the club at impact is just painstaking. The club literally sends a shock through your whole body on impact. I suggest that all others stay away from this club. |

Like a lot of guys , when I make a mistake with the driver,its out to the right.Well this club is everything its meant to be. With the draw bias, Im hitting everything straight or a slight draw. What a confidence builder this club is.The ball flight is much higher than other drivers that i have used, but I get a ton of distance.The nv stiff shaft seems to fit this club perfect.Try one youll like it.
