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.
This will not cure all your problems but it helped me compete and go for par or even birdie. Sometimes drives would go right (I'm a leftie) but that's probably from my technique trying to fight the slice. It happened only a couple of times. The rest went down the stretch. So it sounds like it was made from recycled beer cans, so what? That's the sound of a great driver.

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.

10-15 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.

Let me sum up by saying, this is a quality club that can be had for a low price. You can't go wrong here.

Shoots in the 90s
Model Reviewed: 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.

As others have said it does hit the ball high, but this also helps keep the ball in play. The stock NV Green shaft is awesome! The sound definatly resembles an aluminum baseball bat. It gets people's attention, but I don't mind them looking if I'm splitting the fairway.

I went with the draw bias because I'm a cronic push slicer. I now hit the ball straight or with a controlable fade.

Model Reviewed: 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.

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.

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.
