Ive hit it several times (inside and outside) and im simply not impressed. I think the SLDR 430 is pretty good, but for the hype this SLDR 460 is getting I was expecting better. Anyone else feel the same way?

I've only demo'd it indoors. I don't know how much I trust those computer simulator things. According to it, I was bombing everything. I'm satisfied with my RBZ.

I guess if you feel like you're not impressed with it especially when you hit it, just don't get it. I got lucky with my R11 in that I bought it because it was cool and white, but I have been really happy with it.

Yes - ask any club fitter, they will likely agree.

It's long (TWSS).

if you are willing to go through an extensive fitting, modifications to the driver head and likely upgrading to a $300+ shaft then yes it might be. If anyone is just buying off the rack then its all hype. It has been reported as the most returned club this yr

Heard the new big Bertha is the longest thing out there.

I hit it at a demo a few weeks ago, thought it was absolute garbage.

Currently play SLDR 12 degree and just have loads of problems hitting it. Put my old R9 and R11S in the car to go practice with tomorrow! Also have a Callaway X Hot that I'll try to work with again.

430 is much better than the 460. My r9 smashes harder.

I didn't like either SLDR. To me the R1 is 1000x's better.
