The pro that I bought this club from recommended it as the best driver on the market. I bought one and headed to the course to try it out. This club looks the goods and sets up well. When I swung it, it felt light and well balanced. The first ball I struck come right off the middle of the club with a lovely "clink". I looked up in great anticipation ... only to see it curving viciously into the right rough. Not a problem I thought, just need to get used to the club but one week later and over 300 shots I was still hitting wicked slices. I just did not seem to be able to consistently get the club face back to square at impact. On the few occasions I did manage to get it back to square the ball flew out of sight but these occasions were to few and far between. Exasperated, I returned to the place of purchase and swapped the club for a Cleveland Quaddpro titanium - voila! my very first shot was a gentle draw that went a mile and every shot since then has been either straight or a gentle fade with the occasional draw thrown in.

Unbelievable club.This driver just crushes golf balls.And it's incredibly accurate too,the 10.5 is 2 degrees closed I believe,so if you try the 10.5 make sure you set the clubface square to the target with your hands just slightly ahead and let er rip. And watch that ball soar away in total awe.I've been reading all the awesome reviews about this club the last couple of months saying this club was longer than anything most reviewers have tried and believe me they were not lying.If you get a chance to demo try it,or better yet just buy one,you wont be sorry.

I have hit alot of drivers in 24 years of playing golf, and this is the longest straightest driver I have ever hit in my life. I have played both ping drivers, Callaway vft, and the Taylor Made, and no other driver comes close. The sound when the club hits the ball reminds me of my Tony Pena perssimon I grew up with. It is great!!!! Similar Products Used: Callaway vft, Both the titanium ping and the stainless ping, the Taylormade 300 series, and firesole |

The biggest and most important thing I noticed with this driver is how many more fairways I'm hitting. I've read the reviews of how people are hitting longer, but I have to say I'm not hitting any longer than my old driver. Since I've been hitting more fairways I have lowered my score by 7 strokes. For the first time I do believe I'll break 100. Similar Products Used: KZ CH1, Dunlop Ti. Ping TiSi |

I recently tried the new Taylor Made, Ping TiSi, and owned a GGB Hawkeye. NONE were like this club. I had the shaft tested and it is exactly as stated. I am hitting the ball straighter and longer than anything else I have had including my re-shafted Hawkeye. Also, this is one of the best looking drivers I have seen in a long time. Customer Service Haven't needed to. Similar Products Used: Ping TiSi, TaylorMade 300 Series, Callaway VFT, practly everything out there. |

This club is amazing - as long as the ERC, but legal! I've tried a lot of high level drivers, and this is by far the most consistent long driver available yet - grab one and have some fun!! Similar Products Used: Callaway ERC 9degree, Titliest 975 9degree, Ping, Taylormade etc |

This is without a doubt the best driver on the market. I've tried all of the best ones and none give the distance and forgiveness of this club. I don't even think about slicing with this driver. It doesn't happen. I can actually draw the ball. That was impossible with any other club I tried. The distance is unbelievable and my precent of fairways hit has gone way up. I even feel comfortable playing 400-410 yard par 4'S now. I have never been a long hitter but am able to get 240-260 yards many times with the hipTi. It's a great club. It so long in fact that I had to ask the people I bought it from if it was legal. I wasn't sure it was. I expect to take at least 4 strokes off my 18 hole score with this club - maybe more.
