After reading all these positive reviews, I got a fluke chance to own one with the TrueTemper BiMatrix shaft. I took off for Palm Springs to play three great courses there. What a great driver! When I hit it on the "screws" I gained at least 20 yards over my Taylor Made Ti2. Off center hits did not go far, but stayed in the fairway. With the Stiff shaft, if you do not keep your swing speed up, slices are easy, but I did find that the added distance put me in favorable shape in the desert, or adjoining fairways. I''ll say it again, great club.

I bought the 320J after trying 5 or 6 other drivers. I hit about 250 balls trying to decide. At first I thought 320J felt to light in my hands But I got over that when I started hitting the club. Sound and feedback in my hands is what I need in a driver and I get bought from the 320J. When hit on the sweet spot it sounds like a riffle going off and on offcenter shots it still goes a long way. I have always been a long hitter but now 480-500 par 5 are easy to reach in 2 (4-8 irons. One thing take the time to get your swing speed and pick the right shaft for the driver. If your paying $350.00 for a driver it should be fitted to your swing. There might be better drivers out there but I like my 320J

I would first like to comment on the review by the Japanese gentleman from Canada who took the club back after one day on the range w/ the Bazooka and settled on the Wilson Big Red driver. First of all he cannot possibly shoot in the 80''s and complain about this club having a slicing problem. He needs to take lessons before hitting a club like this. This club is not a weapon that corrects slices. In fact, the person who would benefit from this club the most should have a slight draw or fights a hook. In other words this club is not designed for a draw bias. It does not place metal inserts in the head to correct slices. This is by far the best club I have ever hit and I have it most. I purchased the driver at Chic''s Sporting goods which is not known for their golf equipment. Tour Edge who makes the Bazooka does not market aggressively so it is not seen in many of the popular golf stores like Roger Dunn''s. The Bazooka I purchased came w/ the Grafalloy stiff shaft w/ a 10 degree loft which I highly recommend. It is 1/2 in. to 1 in. longer than the Proforce shaft. I demoed two Bazookas on the range (natural grass I hate matts). One w/ a 75 Proforce stiff shaft and the other w/ the Grafalloy shaft which again is much longer than the Proforce. I feel that the Proforce is over rated. It is very inconsistant. It was all over the place. I really do believe the Grafalloy is a much better shaft and the extra length gives you more distance. It is just much more accurate. So to make a long story long I decided on the Bazooka w/ the Grafalloy. I took it out today. The first hole is a Par 5 513yds. I hit a 323 yard drive and reached the green in two and birdied the hole. Unbelievable! The Ninth hole is also a par 5 and I hit another bomb at 300 yards reached this par 5 in two but pared it. My shortest drive today was 290yds. This club is not hype it is for real. The designers at Tour Edge felt it would not pass USGA guidlines when they submitted the club, but it did pass and I am glad it did. I bought the Bazooka because I needed a high lofted club for the wet fairways that are soon to come. I have been playing the Titliest 975D 8.0 degrees which gave me a lot of roll during the summer months and for windier courses. However, it is going to be difficult to put it back in my bag after using this Bazooka. Other clubs tried:Taylormade300,Big Red,Callaway,Pi

Had this driver for a few months. At first, I didn''t like the feel of it. But I''ve since gotten used to it. With the UST Proforce 75, this driver is very long and accurate. One of the longest drivers I have used so far. Very tight dispersion and the feel grows on you, especially since the results have been very good.

Definitely a long distance weapon, I easily get 15-20 yards more than my GBB. If you slice it though, kiss that ball good-bye.

I have been playing the Mizuno Forged driver all summer with very good results.I decided to give in to the hype and purchase a 320J with the proforce 75 stiff shaft.It came in today and I headed straight for the course.All I can say is WOWWWWW.I am considered a long driver by my peers and in fact have won 2 long drive awards in tournaments using the Mizuno. Today though I took the 320J out of the box headed to the first tee and BOOM.I hit 8 out of 10 fairways I used the 320J on and actually hit a 520 yard par five in 2 with the second shot being an 8 iron!!! 5 over on the par 3's and still shot 76!!This club is a keeper.My Mizuno is up for sale on ebay as I type this..Hope this helps..

The longer shaft took a little getting used to and my best results have come from a slightly flatter swing, but the adjustments have been worth it! I have hit some of the longest drives I have ever hit using this club! The reviews by Ham&Egg are what sold me on this club. I was considering the 975J, but for about $130 cheaper this is working for me. I am using the "stock" stiff shaft (I normally hit regular flex) and may consider replacing it with a shaft that is fine tuned to my swing. The ball just jumps off the club and it's legal!

I picked up this club, just for the heck of it when I had sent my PING TiSI driver due to it having a caved in spot. I have a 65 UST shaft in the PING with the 8.5 degree and thought it was the best driver on the market. Then I hit this BAZOOKA! It has a PENLEY Tour Lite medium kick point shaft matched with a 9.5 degree face and I really liked it. It flies hot and the sound makes everyone think you hit it 325 yards everytime! The head is a bit smaller than the PING, but the face is much deeper. You need to tee it higher than the standard driver, even higher than the PING. I got a great deal on the club and with the upgrade shaft I figured it was a no brainer. I have also come to the conclusion that the shaft is EVERYTHING to distance, feel, and accuracy in a driver. The two clubs, as great as they may be are better with the proper mix of shaft and kickpoint. That is the key to every skill level golfer out there; like the head, fall in love with the shaft. I am not sure how great this BAZOOKA driver is with the standard shaft, but with this PENLEY one in it, I feel that my game is only getting better.

This is super long. I would easily reccommend this over the more expensive clubs. This club ever outdrove the more expensive and illegal, E.R.C. The Taylor Made 320 is good but this driver can hit so much farther and straighter.
