I gave it a fair chance one day. Felt cheap and looked tacky with those silly turbulators. Saying it's a great driver is kind of a push though. It's meh at best.

Don't take it the wrong way, it is what it is.

Not sure, I get emails from the courses I play when they're having one. Doesn't have to be ping, just go hit and they can give you the #'s you need

"Felt cheap" "looked silly"

I'll choose to judge a driver by results. Just my thing.

x flex, but you need to hit a few to find which fits your swing best.

I need a little help keeping it straight. I've made a ton of progress the last few months now that I've gotten more serious with golf, but I fight with my baseball past and "inside/out" the ball some. I've done some work and I don't slice anymore, but there's still a fade.

3000+ spin is way too much.

I have the same issue. Except to fight the slice I started lining up way left which probably didnt help things . My swing speed is 102-105 and I was told I should get a stiff flex vs the regular flex that is currently in my driver. You have about 10 mph which should put you x-stiff.

Pick the one that looks the best.

Seriously...If you truly avg 280-300, why do you need any different shaft? Because its cool? So, just pick the one that has the best cool factor.

Oh, yeh, and find someone to de-loft that head to about 6 degrees.

I don't move my line, but I do place the ball just a little left of center and turn my hands about 20* to the right. It's not the perfect "fix"... but that along with swing adjustments means I'm hitting over half of the fairways now.

Depends on launch but I thought 2500ish is optimal

Looks like I need to be right around 3000 RPM with 170 ball speed and 11* launch angle. I'm not too far off.
