Words cannot describe how pissed off I am. Over the past year, I have spent thousands of dollars trying to find the magic head. I compete in long driving events and have been disappointed with everything, EVERYTHING!

Tour Edge 320 J stiff
I originally bought this driver for my 14 year old son. He was just getting into the game a bit and figured at around $40, he could have a titanium driver at a good price. I hit it on occasion but pretty much stuck with my Adams Redline 460 stiff. I got good distance and fair accuracy (more me and the Aldila nv stiff shaft than anything...I recently sold it for a reg. flex Fuji...waiting to receive it.) Which brings me to this review....in the interim, I've been using my son's (Tour Edge) driver. WOW! Same ball (Hogan tour apex red), same bad swing, same everything but MUCH longer and easier to control than the Redline! In my league yesterday, I hit "best drives ever" on 2 of the nine holes...one too good and into a creek front of the green (had to drop, penalty, and still par'd). My son may be out of luck!!! You'd be doing yourself a disservice if you don't go on Ebay and snatch one up and compare it to what you're hitting...for the price you can't go wrong. If you don't like it, just sell it to someone else that reads these reviews! Customer Service NA Similar Products Used: Adams Redline 460 w/Aldila NV 65 stiff |

320J 8* w/UST ACCRA 75 S
I originally bought this club for $40 with a UST Regular Flex Shaft. I hit the club against a number of others I own (equipment junkie that I am) and really liked it on clean hits but I hooked the stink out of it on too many shots to put it in play. I reshafted with a UST ProForce 75 ACCRA model (different than the gold/purple ones) and the difference is amazing. The head is very hot and I prefer the 320cc size. It produces a boring trajectory and has a ton of oomph. With the shaft it has lent a bunch of consistency. For the price you can't beat it.

Thought I'd add a few thoughts to the other excellent reviews for this driver. Mine came in 9* loft, with a 45.5 inch, firm flex Grafalloy shaft. The club played a total of 47 inches which was a little long for me at 5'8", but I started hitting some bombs with it right out of the box. I felt like I had to make swing changes for it to work for me though due to the length and soft tip. I think this combo would work great for anyone with a smooth, moderate swing speed of around 100mph. My problem was that as I tried to gain comfort with it and get more aggressive, I couldn't control direction at all. My best feeling swings turned into big hooks, and when I tried to ease off a bit I'd hit ballooning pushes. I also felt that I was hitting it too high, with 265-280 yards of carry but very little roll. It was frustrating to not find the fairway with this bomber because I knew it was adding about 30 yards over my old driver. I solved the problem by reshafting with a 44.5" Graphite Design YS-6 in SX flex. This is also a lively shaft but much more stable and a full degree lower in torque (3.5 to 4.5). Since the change I rarely miss a fairway and my ball flight and roll distance have improved a ton. I'm thrilled with this combo. I can play controlled fades and draws but it's also very easy to keep it low and straight into the wind. I've been hitting at least 7 of 10 fairways since the switch and am using driver on many holes that I never dared to before. I recommend the stock Grafalloy shaft to taller players and those who don't swing too hard or quickly. I don't like the UST shafts that are an option, so I'd recommend that harder hitters buy with the intent of reshafting with a Graphite Design, Aldila, Penley or different Grafalloy shaft. I've tested this thing repeatedly against my friend's 975J with stiff Pro-lite shaft. It is waaay more forgiving and longer by about 10 yards for me Customer Service na Similar Products Used: Titleist 975J with Pro-lite shaft is shorter and less forgiving. |

I have been a Bazooka operator for several years having owned the original green model. When I first saw the 320J in 2000 I balked at the price. Two years later I bought a 320J 8 deg UST75 stiff from Golf Vortex via eBay. It was like swinging a plank - horrible. It was so bad that I returned it for a 9 deg UST65 Regular. That was an overcompensation for my swingspeed and I had to really manipulate my swing to make it center fire properly; but when it worked, it was alluring. I still did not like the UST shaft. I had enjoyed my old Bazooka and I wanted to believe in the 320J so I persisted. I had avoided the 46.5" Grafaloy shaft - just sounded too long for my 5'9" size. But, after reading the Ham 'n Egg review I borrowed a 9 deg 46.5" S from a local shop and went to the range. First hit was my longest, straightest drive ever. I emptied the bucket in similar fashion. I have now purchased the 46.5 Grafaloy S in 10 Deg and am having a hoot firing irons at par 5s in 2. The only other driver that comes close in performance for me is the Ping Si3 in S stock shaft - a very nice club but at 8 times the price! I am very happy to stay out of fashion with the 'old' 320J Technology. Lesson learned - the right shaft for your swing is critical and I am sure makes the difference between those of us who call this weapon a '5' and those who tossed it aside. Thanks Tour Edge and Golf Vortex -I am now thrilled to have the "Ultimate Distance Weapon" in my bag. Customer Service Very good - knowledgeable people.

I got this driver as a gift with the regular flex grafloy shaft on it and the soft winn grip. I hit it about 20 or thirty times with this configuration and man I tossed up some banana balls on the range. Slicing like you would not beleave. So I took the club to a local golf store and they told me that I swing way to fast to have a regular flex shaft and that big of a club head. So instead of buying a new driver I got this one reshafted with a proforce 75 stiff shaft and regriped with a new style winn grip. Now I hit the ball straight and long about 90 percent of the time. About 250 on average and 310 when I catch a good one. Also the club is not the most forgiving but it is not the least either. Bottom line this is the club to buy for the money period Similar Products Used: Great Big Bertha 2= A grate club, but 400+ dollars, give me a break man! Cleveland Launcher 400= Also a great club price is 300+ so thats not so bad but the head is a little bulbouse for me. |

I recently replaced my seven year old King Cobra Ti driver with a 320J. Without a doubt it delivers the extra distance promised. I have increased the average distance of my drives by at least 20 yds. Now, with that greater distance, if you put a poor swing on the ball the error is magnified, but overall the club is pretty forgiving as well. My advice is to spend some time researching which shaft to go with. I have the Proforce 65 stiff, and feel I made the right choice. It is slightly shorter than the standard shaft but still provides all the distance I need. I've been able to reach par fives in two easily and am hitting shorter clubs into the par fours. |

I like this club because of the weight....to me, its hard to hit the fairway everytime. The second day that i had this i went out to the driving range and the head flew farther then the ball. Luckily this club has a lifetime warrenty.. Customer Service Very good!!!! Golf Mart said it would take 2-3 weeks to have it fixed. So, we took it over to tour edge in st. charles, planing to have it repaired, we got a new one on the spot Similar Products Used: Cant remember which ones |

320J 9 degree R-Flex
Had mine about a year. Explosively long. Very light. Haven't compared it to many others for fogiveness or consistency. I have the driver, the J-series 3+ wood, and the #1 wood-iron from Tour Edge in my bag. In this dry weather, I'm getting all the distance I need from these clubs. My driver gets about 270-280, the 3+ wood about 250, and the wood-iron about 215. Had a driver + PW to a 470 yard hole this week. I'm not crazy about the "ping" sound off the driver, but that's about the only thing I can find wrong with it. The 3+ wood seems to sound better. Awful expensive, though. I'll keep mine for awhile, maybe add a stiff shaft. When I put a good swing on them, they get me in position to shoot in the 70's. Customer Service Good folks. Similar Products Used: None recently |
