Don't Know what you got till its gone!

A few months ago, I purchased a new Cleveland Launcher Driver (2009 model). Hoping to get more distance, control etc. After about four rounds of play and countless range sessions, I just couldn't get a handle on it. I finally gave up and decided to go back to my Tec Driver. Immediate improvement. More control, long enough and forgiving. I felt a 100 times more confident on the tee box. I'm no expert, and I suppose my experience is anecdotal, but I think it says a lot about this driver that @ $20, that it outperformed a $150 name brand club.

As an aside, the reason I switched from the Tec Driver in the first place was because I made some great improvements to my swing only after getting the Cleveland driver. So with my old swing, my prior performance with the Tec driver was sporatic (like every club in my bag!). But now with a greater handle on my swing, I can now tell the difference between the two clubs.

Great Deal!

I was going to have a driver built for me, but decided to get this for a fun trip with some friends and have now decided that I no longer need a new driver for some time! It does have a graphite shaft, which is already a deal there even if you put a new head and grip on it. The grip is a cheap knockoff but with a good glove it works pretty good. The head is the only real issue I would have with it. Although I have not experienced a problem with it yet I can not tell how durable it is and whether it is a titanium head, although it hasn't dented or changed while playing so I am hoping it is and will be fine. Over all its a great club, feels nice, hits a little soft, and has a lot of bend in the shaft, but makes for a REALLY nice club to start out on.

Great Value

Club is just good looking. Very Light, nice soft grip. Can't beat it for the price. I've had a bit of trouble with slicing since not used to the large head, but after a few baskets of balls on the driving range getting that under control.

Great for the Price

The club is great for being under $40. The only reason I gave it a 4 star rating is do to the grip on the club but its easily fixed by wearing a glove. Took it to the driving range and was easily hitting 250-275 yards.

Good for the money

I'm just a beginner and I bought this driver because it was inexpensive and if I broke it wouldnt be such a bad thing at $30. If I broke a brand name driver at $150+ because of my lack of skills, I would be upset.

Like I said I'm a beginner, but this club seemed pretty decent. It's not quite as good as my Top Flight driver, but it does the job.
