Great reviews on this driver. But do working class and $399 (cost of the driver) go together? lol Browsing prices on drivers they are defintely at the top of the pricing chart for off the rack drivers currently on the market.
I tried searching through the thread but couldn't find this answer.
Does anyone know what the swingweight of these drivers are?
I put mine on the swingweight machine and it came out as C4.

I can believe C3 but it is definitely not B6. Mine probably measures at C4 for two reasons, 1) I have two extra wraps of grip tape and 2) I am playing the X stiff shaft which is probably a couple of grams heavier than the Stiff. ddec my backweighted R11 was at a C7. They feel pretty similar to me, but I have since made another adjustment to my R11 that has changed the swing weight to a C8.
The wife and I have been on vacation this week so we are getting 36 holes in a day. On Monday while playing, my wife asked me to let her try the Heavy Driver. Both of us were surprised how well she hit it right away.
My wife is a 23 handicap and has been playing a ladies Big Bertha Callaway driver in 11 degrees for several years. She has always been able to hit a driver well, and for whatever reason, the Heavy really fits her swing. She ended up playing it for most of the second 18 we played Monday, and I don't think she missed a fairway with it. Her distance appeared to be much improved, so I thought we should go to the range to see if we could measure some of her shots.
With her BB she hits the ball really straight, with her now and then miss being a fade. Her ball flight is fairly low. I had her hit 15 balls with the BB. Her longest drive was just under 195 yards with most being in the 175/185 yard range. This was in soft conditions with very little rollout.
Next she hit the Heavy, again 15 balls. Right away, her ball flight seemed to increase slightly which is understandable given the extra 1.5 degrees of loft. However, the Heavy has a tipped regular shaft while her BB has a stock ladies light regular. Of the 15 balls she hit, she really did not have any that would have been off the fairway or at least very close had we been playing. Her longest drive was right at 215 yards. Most were in the 190/205 range, so it was clearly giving her some much needed distance.
Both of us were very surprised at the results. I think she fell in love with the driver right then and there. We played 36 holes yesterday, 18 at two different course and both of us hit the Heavy the entire time. I am very confident in the driver right now and I hit several of the best drives I have hit all year with a couple nice draws in the 270 range which is pretty big for me. My wife at one point had hit every fairway of the 7 times she hit the Heavy before she finally ran one off right. Both of us hit a bunch of fairways yesterday and although I hit the driver much further, my wife has made it clear that she wants one. I'm taking her to my fitter Friday so we can see some data on her hitting both drivers to make sure we have the correct shaft for her, but the way she is hitting this tipped regular, I'm not sure we can get it any better.
Hoosier, this is awesome! Glad this is working out for you and your wife!
I could only get 9 in today due to weather. I shot +3 for a 39. I'm playing pretty good right now and am really enjoying it. I'm really liking the NV shaft, the stiffer tip has removed the ballooning I was getting and I've picked up almost 10 yards. I only missed one fairway today and it was only by a couple feet. This driver isn't going anywhere! I'm pondering the heavy irons quite a bit!
Hoosier, I think you may have to write your name on that driver to make sure she doesn't take it from you. That's awesome that she's hitting it so well.
