I consistantly hit 20 - 30 yards further than my previous (Adams) driver.

After 6 rounds with this club now all I can say is WOW!! It blows away my 975D and Callaways Biggest Big Bertha. And with the Proforce shaft control is fantastic! This driver is probaly the best kept secret on the market!

I am a 5 handicapp, and worked for many years running different golf stores. I've tried almost everything out there. My distance has never been a problem, but like all golfers we are greedy. My typical drive with a Callaway Biggest was 275-280. Got this club in 8 degrees with a UST 65 stiff. Used the x-stiff before in different club, and it was even too stiff for me. After adjusting to the lower ball flight, things became interesting... I draw the ball slightly, and in the beginning it started to hook on the mis-hits. Figured it out, and that was the beginning of the end. Really gained a good 20 yards. Had 4 drives over 300 on my course. Only had it a week, but only have to get use to characteristics on were to strike for effective draw and fades. Go For It, it's pretty damn impressive..
P.S. You can order it now with the new Bi-Matrix shaft for lower torque.

In a word, Amasing! I bought this club with 8 degrees of loft and a regular flex Grafalloy shaft. My shots were low, high, right, left. You get the picture. I sent this club back in exchange for a stiff flex Grafalloy shaft and 10 degrees of loft. What a difference! The ball rockets off the clubface and is dead straight. I tried the club at a heated range because all the other ranges were buried under 2 feet of snow here in Minnesota. The furthest net to catch range balls was 250 yards out and 2 stories high. My ball cleared the net with room to spare and was still going!

I would have to say without question I will be hitting drives this summer in the 300 yard range. Previously, I would say my Maximum drive was about 270 with an average of about 250. I'm way beyond that with this club.

Model Reviewed: Tour Edge Bazooka 320J 9* stiff

This driver is simply amazing. It is so lightweight with the Grafalloy shaft that it's like swinging nothing. The shaft is VERY fragile (don't lift your bag by the driver) but feels superb and the Winn grip looks cool and feels terrific. And what a hammer!! Powerful, boring drives that roll and roll. This driver seems to reward a smoother, more controlled swing. Misses don't go too far but stay on line. As I make better swings this club rewards me with instant feedback. The sound it makes is a little weird but when you pure one with a good ball (V1 or Revolution) it feels like you hit a wiffle ball it's so light but the ball comes off screaming with very little spin. And make sure to tee it up high, the depth of the face is deceptive. This club, IMHO, should not even be considered by a mid to high handicapper unless you've got a real grooved swing. Who needs an ERC II with this club $200 less at full retail and best of all I can still post for my handicap!!

Great Ball flight with UST Proforce shaft.Hit this at a heated range after not swinging a club for over 4 months and I could not believe the control and distance it produced. I am not a long hitter but even in the cold I hit a few that had a carry of 220-230 yds. We had tape on the face and even toe hits went well. Great club!

I am a 3 handicapper from a D-2 college. I have tried several popular drivers. This driver is truely the longest I have ever hit. At least 15 yrds!!! As for the shaft I have heard some complaints. I have the UST PRO FORCE 65 in a stiff flex. My swing speed with a driver is around 110! I have no problem hitting it straight, left to right, or right to left! This shaft at 45" long is not a limp noodle at all. Most people don't understand how the flex in a shaft works. Take your driver swing speed (under control)and multiply that by 0.85. If your swing speed is 100 that means you need a (85 rated shaft which is not even a stiff flex) Stiff starts at 90! The reason many golfers hit the ball to the right is because their shaft is too stiff for them. A shaft is supposed to flex! The 320J is the best driver i have ever hit. I also had a 975D and a new Ping it is considerably longer then both.

This is the best driver I have ever hit. It is easily the longest driver on the market. Unlike a couple of the other reviewers her, I also find this driver to be very forgiving. When I stike the ball well, this club is about 20 yards longer than any other I have hit. My mis-hits do lose some distance but are almost always in the fairway. If I could hit my irons and wedges as well as I hit this club I would easily be scoring in the 70's. It seems that this club works best with the stock shaft and in the hands of someone with a smooth swing. Also, due to the stock shaft's extra length, this club will be a little less stiff than other clubs. I cannot due this club justice here. If you are still not sure about this club just read the review on www.hamegg.com
They pretty well cover everything you will need to know.

Not any longer than the TISI, I had the 320J with the Graffaloy 46.5" stiff flex,(what a wet noodle) No feel what so ever to this driver. If you can get one cheap might be worth a try. I would say try it with the PF 75 shaft!!

I really wish that I could echo the fantastic sentiment that others have regarding this stick. I can say that it is long, VERY LONG when struck well. As a matter of fact, and I don't say this lightly, at least 20 yards longer than any other drives that I've hit in my life.

I tried so hard to like this club. I bought it with a regular flex UST Proforce 75 shaft. With my being very inconisistent with this set-up and the shaft feeling a bit weak, I had it reshafted with a Grafalloy Prolite 35, stiff-flex. With the PF75, center shots were indeed a thing of beauty with the ball rocketing off of the face for some mind-blowing distance. However, mis-hits were just too harshly penalized for my tastes. I've forever had the flaw of making contact a bit toward the toe of the driver, a fatal flaw with this club. This sort of contact resulted in short hooks that dove hard to the left on me. With the Grafalloy Prolite inserted, the flaws were muted somewhat and the same fantastic distance was achieved on pure strokes. I had origianally planned to try this clubhead out in a few other shaft choices but opted out. I just cannot afford to spend so much on a club that I don't feel very confident in.

In the end, the accuracy and forgiveness just were not up to my speed. Now, I'm wholly aware that it could just be that I don't mesh well with this stick because others have lauded its forgiveness. Some have said that the club wants to go straight so much that they have problem turning the ball over or shaping fades. Not me...

I'm giving this club four stars simply based on its positive characteristics, read: DISTANCE, DISTANCE, DISTANCE! It's really that impressively long, you just have to see it to believe it. It was a hard decision for me to drop the experiment with the 320J because I wanted it to work so badly. But like I said, if you're particular swing flaw is not hitting out toward the toe, go for it! Just be ready to be intoxicated by some stunning distance off of the tee!

Customer Service

I emailed them to ask what shafts they would recommend that I try installing. I found them to be very responsive and very helpful. I got a very real sense that they stand behind their product.
