Don''t believe the hype! Nike is the greatest marketing company as we all know and alot of their products are decent. I''m not sure about this club though. It''s beautiful out of the bag, but the paint is easily scratched and the face marks up rather quickly. As for the performance, well, it is not that much longer than my old big bertha. I have played about 20 rounds with this club and would say on average it is about 5-10 yards longer BUT harder to control. I use a stiff flex shaft. My swing speed is at just about 100, so this should be a perfect match. I had a hard time keep the ball from drawing too far. My nature swing with the old club promoted a straight to a slight fade, but the closed clubface on this club kept borderline hooking everything. I''m gonna try out a launcher, I''ve heard good things about them. Similar Products Used: big bertha, coobra, 975d |

I was very pleased with the extra distance I generated. I''m hitting the ball consistantly in the 270"s. It has a tendancy to fade to the right at the end of the drive. The stiff shaft is to whippy for my swing, reshaft with xtra stiff shaft if your club head speed is over 105 mph. This helped eliminate the high and to the right shots. Over all very happy with product. Similar Products Used: I use an Adams tight lies 1o degree driver. I like it due to the stiffness of the manufactures shaft, standard with club no re-shafting. Never got the distance with Adams that I get with the air max. |

Nicklaus Airmax 360 Driver
Today I purchased the Nicklaus Airmax 360 Driver. At the store i hit the club into a projector screen. At first I had the Titlest 975 driver. I am just 15 and I hit the club around the 240 mark. After trying numerous other BIG NAMED drivers. The owner handed me the Nicklaus club. When I hit it I noticed a big difference. The club was softer at impact and instead of hitting the ball around 240, I hit the ball 15-20 yards further. I purchased the driver for $150 less than the other popular drivers and it is longer and gives you more forgiveness. A must purchase if you dont care bout the name and want a quality club. |

I am an improving golfer and hit it fairly striaght. the club produces good distance but Ive come to find that it sets up extremely closed. every time i hit it solid the ball flight is a sweeping hook cause its predisposed to being closed impact. Just a warning to people who draw the ball naturally... you will be off the world. |

I am a decent golfer and at times I can shoot in 70''s,but I have never been good with a driver.I bought this club after hitting a couple of times and I am very happy.This thing has a serious amount of pop.I am getting unreal distance.I was hitting them farther than my big hitting friend.He uses a driver with a 50 inch shaft.The best part however is the accuracy.This is the straightest driver I have ever hit.I will have no problems pulling this out on tight par4''s.I could never say that about a driver before.

This is the best club I have ever put my money into. After trying the Ping and the Callaway Stealhead Plus I was convinced. This one of the best decisions I have ever made. Before starting with the Nicklaus I hit a very bad fade. After 3 weeks I was hitting the ball straight and not long after I was able to hit a draw, which I had never done before. |

Nicklaus airMax 9* stiff graphite shaft driver
I just demoed this club the other day, and it seemed pretty good. It gives good feedback, when you hit it right in the sweet spot it feels great. I had one that shot that I must have hit off the toe because it stung a bit. The distance is very good when you hit it well. I had a couple that must have went about 260 in the air. The one thing I noticed about this club is that it isn't as forgiving as my Taylor Made supersteel driver. I had a couple of nasty slices with this one and a handful of shots that went about 200, and off to the right or left a bit, whereas with the supersteel I rarely get those, even with a bad shot. The head is pretty light, and not really big, so you can generate a lot of speed, but you really dont need it. Nice easy swings will put you where you want to be. Distance-wise at least.

Air Max 11 degree offset
There are a few options with this driver and I have tried them all goes from 9 to 11 degree with many different shaft option I think the super G50 graphite shaft is the best for the club I choose , the offset 11 degree driver. You would think that 11 is to high but with the offset it stays as low as a reg. 9.5 or 10 degree. It hits the ball a ton. My first day out I must have hit the ball 30 to 40 yards further than I usually do. If you make sure you turn wrist over everytime you should go straight with this club, but if you get lazy you will slice pretty hard. Over all for the $$ I like it better than the taylor made drivers Similar Products Used: taylor Made Super Steel Burners and Firesoles Both ok but not as much distance as the AirMax |
