Pros:

cannon
heavy, good for tempo
forgiving off center hits


negatives:

very closed face-
someone used to a square or tour type club can't hit this- either play it forward and hook the hell out of it,  or play it in the middle and fade it.    just couldn't get it to go straight at all (probably because the evo is such a nice stout shaft that the timing of the release is demanding).

I used one at an FGI outing (BOM with Evolution R fully inserted).  Pounded it.  Should have bought/stolen it, but didn't.

i have one in my nak 380 and kill it.  square face,  either baby draw, or straight 95% of the time.  feels great kicking through impact.







anyways, back ot the club.   i wont be keeping it.   

I will let Sal give it a go.  if she dislikes it,  it will get sent to a new   'tryee'

Sorry it didn't work out, the stiff evo killed it for me, never behaved after the stock shaft broke.

You can do what you want with that club, no sentiment attached to it, pull the shaft, sell it, pass it on, whatever.

Piss on your journey, or something.

The *feces* hits straight. It's gonna stay with me for a while, to be tested in the course.

it's hard to tell how far real balls would go, and of course the shaft is too stiff for her to really flex out,  but  she was getting about 125-130'ish carry with the dome range rocks and off a tee at the wrong height....  i'd think she could get it 150-160 carry and maybe 180 with good roll   on the course with good hits.

with her current other drivers she can be anywhere from 125-200 depending on the hit and the roll,  but the dispersion is a LOT wider.

Well, when the 'ti-xenium' fails (which it will), I have another head that I will send you.  But, keep me on the short list for the shaft. ;D

Sweet.

Here's hoping it behaves in the wild.

It sometimes happens that a club just works for someone even if it says on paper it shouldn't.

After testing it on the course on Sunday, it still hit straight. Not much of distance, but I did not hit one shot OB.

That's good, long but OB doesn't do any good. 8)

OB can be short too, with a water or ravine hazard between the tee box and the fairway. Luckily, those are not very common from the red tees, other than at par 3's where driver is not used anyway.
