Ok, I played this for three rounds last week, in beautiful 75 degree weather, one day was windy the other two just perfect. So other than being my first full round of the year and no range time before any of them, it was pretty ideal circumstances for it's maiden voyage.
I don't know what I can say about this driver that will do it justice. I know there are plenty of good options out there for 2016 and I certainly haven't tried them all, but hit a few in January at the PGA. I think the thing that sums this up best is that someone I believe PMM21 is selling his after only 14 shots, because it's TOO STRAIGHT!!
That's exactly what I found with it during my three rounds. If I recalled my rounds correctly, I hit 29/40 fairways with it during the week. And right off the bat, I can recall two of thsoe were just horrible swings, one produced a snap hook and the other a slice, that wasn't as bad as the swing was..LOL
I honestly can't claim it's the longest driver I've hit. But I certainly can't recall anyone that was straighter than this one for me. And to clarify when I say straight, I mean a very small fade. On a couple occassions, when I made a very good swing, it went dead straight, to a very slight draw. As a measureing point, I'd say most of my drives were in the 210 to 215 ish range which is about normal for me now. As a point of comparison, I was playing with MSeamann777 on the final day, and he was generally 30 yards or so ahead of me all day, and said most of his drives were in the 240 ish range, so that's about right. However, one of those good swings I referenced above, I was actually about 5 yards at most behind him, and it was a result of a good drive by me, not a bad one by him.
It's just an very easy club to swing, I got the 11.5 head with the Diamana M+ Red Board in R flex. I love the look of the Blue and the Nike Swoosh, and had several comments on it. The sound is fine, not muted, not obnoxiously loud, just a good solid "crack" type sound. At first I was having a bit of a challenge getting high enough ball flight (but that is more my 92 to 93 ish Swing Speed than anything) but once I made a couple setup adjustments and the swing felt better, I was getting good height on it.
At some point, I'll get it on a LM and get some numbers, but I can easily see 3 or 4 drivers that are sitting around collecting dust, going in the Market Place very soon.
This one's a keeper for sure. I won't be selling it becasue it's TOO STRAIGHT...and that's no knock against PMM, I'm just not a shot shaper, I'll take straight all day, and If I could find another 20 yards, I wouldn't turn that away either
