Had my Hawkeye about three months now. Still struggling to hit consistant drives that stay on the fairway but this is probably more to do with me than the club. Iwas interested to read in the reviews about slowing the swing down. I think this might be part of my problem as I do tend to swing fast. Anyway when I do catch it right it does fly so I'll keep practicing and hope it falls in to place.

I'm a 15 HDCP player and have tried numerous drivers throughout my years of playing golf and have concluded that the VFT has been the best driver I have used. It is definitely the easiest driver to hit..I guess Callaway's in general are easy to hit. I have gained approximately 20-30 yrds. with this driver. Just make sure to let the driver work for you, don't force it. TI have used Callaway Drivers for awhile and the ball seems to explode of the face with that nice Callaway "ding" for the VFT..but not as pronounced. Also it seems to have a boring trajectory. From address it is very clean with the classic Callaway "V" on the crown as a guide. Beautiful dark grey color! As far as the 2 deg. closed for the 10 deg. model I have noticed no ill effect. My drives have all been straight if not a very slight fade. Get the 10 degree. And always remember..it's the indian not the arrow.

This is a great club. There are a lot of negative words on this club in this forum, but to each their own. I believe though most of them are unwarranted, meaning you must know how to swing a golf club in order to hit a driver successfully. I've had this a couple of years and I hit it on the ropes 9 out of 10 times dead center or with a slight fade. I'm not going to be one of those posts that claims 300+ all the time, but I will say that I average 260-275 most all the time. And on occasion, I'll catch one just right and send it out to 300. My swing speed is moderate, 80 mph on irons and about 90 mph with my driver. I've found that swingspeed doesn't matter if you can't control it or your tempo sucks. Slow it down and groove your swing. This driver is forgiving if you hit the ball somewhat good, but don't plan on a good shot with any club if you don't get a good piece of the ball. I'm planning on reshafting this year with a graff. blue-regular and I'm excited to see what happens. I would recommend anyone try this club and who knows, it may work for you. The face is hotter than most and the ball sizzles off of it. I'm very happy with this club, and I know with some swing improvements (more flexibility) I will be averaging close to 300 per drive. But for now, I'll take 260-270 on the fairway. Good luck.

Never used them, but to be as big as Callaway is, they must be doing something right.

I bought this club approximately 5 months ago. I read the reviews before I bought it, but I thought I would try it out for myself. When I started playing with it I had a little trouble controling the ball flight. The club was not going to the left like the reviews stated. I had a regular flex shaft, which was causing the control problems. I had the club reshafted with a Fujikura Pro 70 Stiff flex, and that fixed the problem. Now I have complete control, and the ball hits the middle of the fairway each time. This club is also very long, I am hitting the ball around 310 each drive.

I, too, read the very negative reviews of this club AFTER I had purchased it. Wow, I thought I had made the mistake of the Century. I have been a Callaway fan for years and found the drivers always delivered even with a terrible outside/in swing. My first outing with this driver (12*, regular shaft) was "cold" out of the box and I hit only a few balls at the range. On the course, I found the club very easy to swing...no need to come out of my shoes. There was a tendency to pull hook if I got to hot with the club. The pull would scream 300 yards into the woods and my group would yell as it flew into areas we had never explored. Generally, an ease swing with a good follow through resulted in a straight drive of 250 plus yards and the report at impact is dramatic. You HEAR the sweet spot. The folks at Edwin Watts insisted that I stay with the regular flex and I am glad they did. With a slow swing speed I can manage this shaft without worry. I would recommend this club for value and performance.

No experience. I am just a Callaway fan.

No experience. Hate looking down at address and seeing a meatloaf on a stick. This head sets up beautifully.

I own both a 9* VFT and a 10.5* VFT ProSeries. I've had the 9* for 2.5 years and the 10.5 for 1 year. The "regular" VFT has a closed face (don't remember exactly 1* or 1.5* closed) but the VFT ProSeries has a square face. I do notice a difference. When I am feeling pressured or overswinging I tend to close the face too much at impact and hit hooks...this is obviously more of a problem with the 9* because of the closed face. These clubs are the longest that I've had and I still have them both. When it's windy, I'll use the 9* to keep the ball down. When I'm swinging well and the wind isn't blowing I use the 10.5* ProSeries and consitently drive farther than the majority of guys I play golf with. If you tend to fade or slice the ball you would want to stick with the "regular" VFT. The only problem with the club is that it hits the ball so far that I'm 300 yards into the trees if I don't execute well....but then again, that's not the clubs fault! :-)

I was given this club as a present so had litte choice in what I got but I have to say that now I am getting used to it it is a great club to use. It feels very solid to use and even if you mis-hit badly you don't get nasty vibration up ur arm. I don't find it the longest hitting club in the world but I can consistently hit it 220-250 yards in flight with whatever roll the ground allows. I have 9* and stiff shaft and think it a great combo. Even with this you can get plenty of height on the ball, so if you are a daisy cutter you will be ok. NOw that I have had it afew weeks and have spend some time on the range with it I am hitting consistently straight. I have yet to really slice the ball and the worst is a bit of fade. If you try and smash the ball you will screw the hit and either hook it or send it bouncing down the grass. If you can relax nad just swing fast though .. WOW. There are probably better drivers out there but for me I'll settle for 250 yards and straight anyday. Its a keeper for sure.

The VFT is a very attractive club, and very comfortable to swing, that is, until I try to hit a ball with it. Aggressive swings hit dead on the screws fly long and flat, infinitely penetrating with minimal spin. Anything even marginally off center, however, didn't just lose distance, it was downright embarassing. The punishment was so severe, I would tense up just removing the head cover, eliminating any chance of hitting it good. I understand that 'Pro' means 'not for hackers', but I have an average swing speed of 110mph, and hit my Titleist L-FE 270 yds 9 out of 10 times (although not necessarily in the fairway), so I don't think I should be made to look like such a retard hitting a 300cc driver. If you can hit a persimmon driver well, you can bomb the VFT Pro a country mile; if you can't, be afraid, be VERY afraid.

Edwin Watts bought it back for $50, even though I had it reshafted.

The Cleveland Launcher 400 and Taylor Made R580 didn't feel right to me, but were easy to hit, and flew long. The Titleist J-VS, L-FE and 986 models all felt good, flew long, and were easy to hit. I got the L-FE on sale, and despite having too much spin, I'm quite satisfied.
