tour edge 320j
I've been playing the 320j for 6 months now. I was previously playing the Ping TiSi and I also own a Ping I3. I love the 320j. I am getting a little more distance than the Ping TiSi mainly due to a lower/hotter trajectory. My ping has 8.5 degrees of loft and the 320j has 8 degrees of loft with the Pro-force 656 stiff shaft. I just hit the ping too high and it tends to drift to the right too much. I'm hitting more fairways with added distance with the 320j. That's a great combination. I also tried the 7 degree 320j. What a huge difference between the 7 and 8 degree models. While I hit a very hot trajectory with the 8 degree model, and the sound at contact is a very inspiring crack (similar to the ping), I just couldn't hit the 7 degree model high enough and it made a wimpy "ting" sound. I think that is why you find varying opinions about how this driver sounds at impact, you need to have a model that suits your swing so that you are making solid contact(and getting that awesome "crack"). This driver has to be one of the best values on the market. It was originally marketed for $600. Now you can get one on ebay for around $100. Lastly, I find that I can work the ball both left and right with the 320j (and straight too). Thanks tour edge, this driver is the complete package, add in good value, and good customer service and it comes real close to perfection. The only bad thing I should add is that I have cracked the face on the 320j. However, this wasn't so bad because tour edge provides a lifetime warranty and I was very pleased to have a new one in my hands within 4 days. (I might add that I also cracked the face of the Ping TiSi twice in 18 months In general I think the face of the modern, thin faced, High COR drivers will crack if you hit enough balls) Customer Service great replaced damaged club quickly Similar Products Used: Ping TiSi Ping I3 |

No question - the best driver hit. The lightest, the longest, the most powerful and very straight. It outperforms any of the premier brands. If you want to compare - the only one similar to it in feel and performance but still a notch below is the new Ping TiSiTec. TourEdge Bazooka 320J - the name is true.

Bazooka 320J
Thanks to the 320J, I am once again the long hitter in my group. Drives are consistantly in the 280-300 range. Even on miss hits I still get around 250 and the ball is not in the woods. Not only did my distance return, I gained great accuracy. I seldom miss a fairway any more. I am much more in control because of the light weight of this club. Obviously, it''s not for all golfers, but all golfers looking for a new driver should at least try it. I''d also try one of the shafts offered by the OEM. Use the money you saved to buy a putter. I did. Customer Service Not needed so far. Similar Products Used: Taylor Made 300, Orlimar Trimetal |

BAZOOKA 320J
Strength:
None I DECIDED TO GO WITH THE OVERSIZE HEAD DRIVER, AFTER HEARING SO MUCH ABOUT THE BAZOOKA 320J, I DECIDED TO GIVE IT A TRY. I WAS HITTING A CLEVELAND QUADPRO. THE FIRST THING I NOTICED WAS THAT IT SOUNDED LIKE YOU WERE IN A TIN CAN. VERY UNUSUAL SOUND. CLUB DID NOT HIT AS FAR AS MY QUADPRO, AND WAS NOT NEARLY FORGIVING. I WAS HITTING THE PRO FORCE 75 SHAFT WHICH WAS JUST TOO STIFF AND TOO HEAVY. NOT IMPRESSED AT ALL WITH THE PERFORMANCE OF THE CLUB. Similar Products Used: None |

Tour Edge Bazooka 320J
Strength:
None
Weakness:
None I have had the 10 degree driver with the 46 1/2 inch Graffoloy shaft in a stiff flex for about a month now. Took a few buckets and rounds to get used to the light feel and long shaft of the club, but now the club hits like a dream. I am a low-handicapper whose only weakness in the past has been length off the tee. No more!!! My driving distance has moved from around 240-250 to around 280-300, and my accuracy is still there. I''m shaving strokes on par 5s and short, driveable par 4s like nobody''s business. A great club, especially since you can pick one up in new or excellent condition on ebay for around 200 bucks.

320J Hyper-Beta Ti "Bazooka"
Strength:
None
Weakness:
None I''m a 15 handicapper and play 2-3 times weekly. I''ve struggled with the driver, as most of you have - or still are. Slicing is my nemesis and it is due, largely, to an out-to-in swing plane. After reading a number of glowing user reviews, about 4 months ago I decided to take the leap. I have found the Bazooka to be a real gem of a driver and for the first time, I''m not "lusting" after a new one! The workmanship is good, but the performance takes the cake! It still slices on me if I''m not in the slot, but when I make good contact, it is easily 15 yards farther than anything I''ve ever hit. I also find that I can work the ball better and draw it when I need to. Mine has the UST Proforce 65, regular flex shaft, cut to 45". It''s a decent shaft, but I think you should consider getting something better in this club. I will be re-shafting to an Innovative Comp Tour LT in a week or so. All in all, a great club and well worth the price. Customer Service Never had to use it. Similar Products Used: King Cobra Ti & Callaway Hawkeye VFT. |

None This is the best club I have ever bought. It is so light it is like swinging a feather.Now I''m only 15 and 120LBS and im hittin this thing 240-260 yards. It is extremly forgiving and you can be a lttle off the sweetspot and still hit it real good. This club is awesome looking to. Very appealing and extra long and light which gives you that needed distance that everyone wants. It has to be the longest driver I have ever hit. If you have the chance to buy this club... do it. You will not be dissapointed. Accuracy and feel are right up their also and it is the perfect driver for me. Just last weekend I entered a tournament and beat out a field of about 60 guys 3 times my size in a long drive contest. That was cool because I won a wad of cash for that.My handicap dropped a few strokes because of this and I''ll never get a different driver Similar Products Used: None |
