Material:
Face: 6/4 Titanium
Body: 100% Titanium
Finish: Black PVD
Shaft: True Ace Blue Crush.
Weight: 62 grams. Torque: 2.9. Flex: Regular (default). Also available
in Stiff Flex.
It comes equipped with the
True Ace Blue Crush Graphite Shaft. The lightweight True Ace Blue Crush
is specifically designed with an ultra-low torque which provides tip
stable performance for large headed drivers. That's what we used in
testing this club (read
reviews). The blue crush has a low torque of 2.9, lightweight at
only 62 grams and goes very well with this club. It is a little bit
pricier than shafts like the Aldilla VX, the Powerflex FW-114 and
Powerflex FW-501 but delivers good consistent performance. It is lighter
- that translates to faster clubhead speed - that translates to longer
drives. It has very low torque - that translates to less twisting at
impact - that translates to straighter drives.
If your swing speed is 110 or higher, you may want to go with Stiff
flex. If between 100 to 110, regular may be a better flex. If you go with a flex that
is too stiff for you, the club won't respond and feel dead in your
hands. Many golfers (young men especially) feel they have to have the
stiffest shaft possible. Not a good idea as you loose the oomph provided
by the shaft.
Not sure what your swing speed is? You can rent or buy the
Swing Speed Radar - a very useful gadget.
Important:
If your swing speed is
less than 100, or you are a senior, a junior or a lady golfer, let us know and we can
switch you to a different shaft that will be more responsive to your
swing. No extra charge. Just email or call us and we'll be glad to help. The shaft is the engine of your driver. It
does not matter how expensive a clubhead you have - if the shaft is not
right for your swing, the results will not be satisfactory.
We have a nice little
write up on this subject.
Click here to read it before making your decision. If you decide to
go with one of the shafts listed in this write up, just let us know. No
extra charge.
For loft, our default is 12 º. We recommend a 12 º loft as it will
give you better trajectory and distance. Playability and control further
improves if you use the 12 º version, move the ball in a little and
use a longer tee like 3 1/4" or 4".
We don't just sell the clubs - we test them and we play with them. We
test them on the range and then put them into play to get a very good
feel for them. We have put a lot of thought and time in configuring this
club by matching the right head with the right shaft and grip without making it
too expensive. Put our upfront work to your advantage. Now you can go
for those 300 yard drives without a second mortgage.

Features:
-
This is a club for the
golfer who wants distance control and dispersion control.
-
How would you like
your shot to be? A slight draw, a stronger draw or maybe you want to
hit it straight.
-
For loft, we recommend
a 12 º loft. It will give you better trajectory and distance.
Playability and control further improves if you use the 12 º version,
move the ball in a little and use a longer 4" tee.
-
The inspiration of the
unique geometry is based on the Amazonian Black Caiman. This
powerful and intimidating beast preys mostly on birdies and eagles
and is fearless in devouring the competition.
-
The elongated breadth,
coupled with internal weighting produces an extremely stable, high
moment of inertia design for exceptional raw distance and control
off of the tee.
-
Rounding out this
design is a Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD) coating, creating not
only an extremely durable finish, but also providing a lustrous
black appearance. The process involves the deposition of titanium
carbon nitride under low vacuum conditions.
-
Just pulling it out of
the bag makes you feel confident. Even
though it is 460cc in volume (the max allowed by USGA, it doesn't
look overwhelmingly big.
-
It has a 1/2
degree closed face that helps you avoid nasty slices.
Nothing like the crisp clean sound of titanium striking ball.
Hit it long, Hit it
straight
-
Maxed-out 460cc body
further provides power and forgiveness.
-
Larger head means
greater MOI, that means greater forgiveness on off center hits.
-
The thin beta titanium face provides maximum rebound
- translates to greater distance.
