Well, when one first take a look at the newest bigstick from Nike, one cannot help look at it with fascination. The perfectly shaped head, and strict, rude carve-outs on the bottom speaks to my mind a words like: "I'm long and dangerous!"
Teed up at my local range for my first Drive ever whit this mysterious Driver. Teed pretty high, took a wide swing and just let it rip!!! But what happened? This happened: The ball went 200 feet to the sky, tok a drastic turn to the right and went for the woods near the putting-green. This came as a shock to me, as I average in FW-hits around 60%, and 20% are semi-rough or bunkers, so I have pretty good control with my Drives...
Teed up again, and took a new whack at it, and the same thing happened again.... and again... and again. Others tried it, and the same thing happened. So I placed it in my bag, and use spoon for a couple of rounds, while SQ stood in the corner ashamed...
But one day, I decided to take my nemesis (still SQ...
) to the range for a new test-drive (hehe.. test-drive, funny!) and work out what the hell was wrong with me/the driver. I flattened my swing a bit, and whacked a couple of drives straight to the 200 (metres) mark on the range... This was a turning point for the relationship between me and my SQ, now I wield it somewhat correctly, and results are pretty OK.
Summary:
Difficult Driver, but can produce pretty neat drives when hit properly. I think it lacks the final "oomph" that really blasts drives down the fairway. But should absolutely be tested... See if you can tame the sasquatch!
