Interesting, JB. You think any of their Tour Pros would consider going this route vs a regular driver?
 
After seeing the pictures and being a guy that doesn't hit a 3 wood off the deck too often.....I shall be put in the category of those intrigued

I think some will. Those guys dont miss the sweet spot too often and on certain courses, they may very much like it.

That's interesting. This one intrigues me, not that it will fit my game by any means, but just has me intrigued from a tech standpoint and how the drive for most clubmakers is making the driver bigger/easier to hit instead of smaller and more focused on the sweet spot.

I think that this is aimed at the people that use a strong 3 wood only off the tee as a driver replacement I assume that this would be more forgiving than the strong 3 wood.

It seems that most pro's are hitting driver on only the longest holes
 
what cc is this thing?

If the intended result is a tee shot with much tighter dispersion and not much distance loss, then this club will likely make my bag for the Morgan Cup. Caledonia would be a really good fit for the mini-driver.

From the dozen of so rounds I've played there I couldn't agree more with this statement - it's certainly a shotmakers course.
 
While I am pretty sure I am not the target player for this, that doesn't mean I'm not drooling over it and certainly doesn't mean I won't give one a swing or two if the opportunity presents itself. As someone who struggles far more with a driver than a 3 wood off of a tee, I can't say I'm not a little intrigued by this.
 
So the tmag guys will have this at The Master's, the Cally guys will have the 2Deep, and the Ping guys will have the Rapture. That'll be interesting.

All will have trouble topping Louis double eagle on #3. That was amazing.

The more I look at it, I'm curious why no adjustability? Seems interesting to have the SLDR name but no adjustability.
 
I like smaller headed drivers so this might be on the new hot list for me

silly question. When was the last time you gamed a small headed driver? Say sub 400cc? I know my last was a Nike Forged 350 about 9 years ago.

The real question is when have ever gamed a 460cc driver, never. My 3W keeps up with most peoples drivers. So I've been gaming smaller heads off the tee for a good bit

I bet he'd crush it. I still have memories of that monster drive with the rocketballz at Grand Cypress.
