I'm a new golfer that has only been playing for less than a year and I started with this driver. I am also only 17 years old and the #2-3 starter on my high school golf team. I have looked for other drivers because I keep hoping I can hit it a lot farther. The funny thing is that nothing that I have used hits quite as good as this driver. An average drive for me is close to 260 yards with a club head speed of about 107 mph. Generally on the course I have been able to hit 300+ yards easily and few people that i play with can out drive me. I haven't been able to achieve the same success that I have had with this driver when i have tried the RBZ stage 1 and stage 2 drivers among numerous others. I have a stiff shaft due to my high swing speed but have been told I need to go up to a extra stiff shaft for better accuracy. I would definitely recommend this to new and experienced golfers. I would give so much credit to my driver to my success on par 4 and par 5 holes.

Never needed customer service for my driver even though I have put it through torture to where the paint on the top of the club head and on the back of the club head has started to chip

This is one of the best drivers I've ever had. I bought one new years ago and hit it great but decided I wanted a big name brand driver so traded it in. Always would think back about how long it was as I spent more and more money on big name drivers and never quite got the same results. Luckly I ran across one in our local golf store for $29.00 used but looking brand new so for $29.00 I thought I'd give it a shot again. I'm glad I did I can flat out kill the ball with this driver. Needless to say it's the best $29.00 I've ever spent on golf. If you can find one it's worth trying nothing that's out today can beat it and for the price you'll pay it's a no brainer to get it. I tried alot of these when they first came out but the one with the blue sg pro ts (tip stiff)shaft worked best for me so naturally thats what I was looking for when I came across this one. The blue shaft model seems to be harder to find, I guess nobody wants to get rid of that one. If you find it give it a try. I tried newer model nicklaus drivers and they didn't even come close to comparing to this one for me atleast. I tend to hit the ball high so a tip stiff shaft helps me lower the ball flight alittle but everones swing is different so what works for me might not be best for you but at somewhere arond $30.00 you really don't have anything to lose.

I have went through just about every driver made. I never had a problem hitting a driver straight so I changed alot looking for the longest one I could find, funny thing is I found it in a $29.00 driver.

I've been hitting this driver for four years now. I thought after 4 years it was time to try something new, so off I went to Golftown to try the new PING G15.
I hit about 80 balls with a 9 degree and a 10.5 degree PING, and I could not get a ball to go as long or as straight as I could with my Nicklaus.
Why mess with success? I just saved $350, and my Nicklaus driver secured a home in my bag for at least another couple of years.

10.5* loft, 45" length Aldila VS Proto 65 Stiff tipped 1.5" - i had the stock shaft re-shafted with a Titleist Pullout. had to be tipped so it would play similar had it been in a bore-thru head, which is what i was after. i get a mid-high trajectory on good hits. it goes pretty straight with a fade, which is my typical ball flight. feels really good balance, although i put some lead tape in the heel to achieve this. i get about 15-20 extra yards over my previous driver, the titleist 905T. i like the sound of the ball off the face. sounds very powerful. this club is very affordable if you can find it.

I just started playing this past year because my little boy somehow became obsessed with golf. Now I'm addicted.

The one thing I can say for sure is that this is a hard hitting driver. I have a 100mph swing and am using a stiff shaft. I recently removed a large slice from my drives and am bettering my cousin with around the same swing speed. He's hitting a Sumo and regularly drives over 250. I have had 4 par fives this year that my second shot was with my 2 hybrid and I landed on the green. everyone I let swing this club ends up loving it.

Best driver I have found. I have hit everything and keep coming back to this cheap club. It has the standard Fujikura shaft in Regular flex. Really long and good control. I keep buying bigger name drivers off of EBay and end up putting them back up for sale because they do not compare with the Nicklaus.

Very nice driver. I got one cheap ($25.00), but it had the R flex stock shaft, too whippy. But the head is well balanced and hot. With the right shaft, this would have been a keeper.

Almost everything. The Vulcan Caldera, if you can find one is a bomber. My Snake Eyes Compressor with ProLaunch 55R is still in the bag. New Taylor Tour Burner is a great stick.

The Nicklaus AirMax 440 ML 9 degree is the best driver I have ever had. Very forgiving and very long. It has my average drives well over 300 yards again, and is the first driver to ever let me drive the ball over 400 yards. My average swingspeed is over 120 mph which gives me the extra distance. I have played the club over 2 years and simply amaze people with the distance I get. It is a great feeling when you know you can drive alot of par 4's with this club. Some of my buddies say its's not fair. I just laugh and tell them to go buy one. Now all I need is some magic to fix my putting and I'll be set.

An absolute cannon! I got this driver not thinking that it could be anything special. Ive struggled mightily with drivers, hitting R7, Sasquatch, etc.. This one is hotter and longer than anything I have ever hit. I was hitting about 230-240 yds. on good drives before but with this club that distance is my mis-hits. I hit a couple drives recently in the 260-270 yd. range. My SS is about 98 mph. My setup includes a Graman 540 Limey shaft. I now am excited on the tee box, awaiting the explosion that ensues. If I still push or push/slice its me. This club does not favor or exaggerate that tendency for me.
