PRODUCT DESCRIPTION: 

The Cleveland Launcher is an absolutely fabulous value and a tremendous addition to any golfer’s bag. It has a massive titanium footprint with the back portion elongated to offer that promised high MOI., allowing generous room for miss-hits resulting in maximum forgiveness. With only a half millimeter in thickness, the new Launcher crown is the thinnest possible, moving every bit of potential weight low and deep to improve the center of gravity, optimize launch conditions and maximize distance. The horseshoe-shaped weight pad on the rear perimeter of the sole significantly improves launch conditions and stability on miss-hits by localizing weight low and deep, improving both MOI and center of gravity location.

The main point of difference with Cleveland’s previous Launcher is the removal of the scooped out crown that has been a feature of the HiBore range. The scooped out look has been binned and replaced with a more traditional crown that offers universal appeal. The sound off the face is inoffensive yet powerful and provides a medium trajectory.

PROS:

The huge head of the driver is a big confidence booster to those looking for solid dependability without the need to tweak weights, shafts and face angles in search of the optimum trajectory. This driver dwarfs the ball at address, but presents a very clean look, with none of the bulge and role found in other drivers. This encourages the golfer to think positively that the ball is heading ’straight’ down the fairway.

 CONS:

Some players have complained about the size of the head not looking right and the high pitched impact sound being a little bit of a turnoff. You might need to change the grip since the original one feels a little hard and slippery. However, the main feature is the astonishingly difference in price. It is around $150 cheaper than its counterparts.

 RECOMMENDATIONS:

This driver is suitable for both amateurs and professional golfers.

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION:

Ping’s driver line is one of the respected lines in the world. Its G10 is the clear winner when it comes to covering distance. The result is an additional 15-25 yards along with great accuracy. It swings better than the other clubs and has a wonderful TCF 129 D stiff shaft. It has a very traditional look and is straighter than the Genex, but not as straight as the other squarish drivers.  Its slightly longer shaft is designed to have its weight deeper and farther in the back to launch the ball farther and with less spin. Therefore, it helps decrease backspin on drives and gives more boring flight with plenty of roll.

Something special to the G10 is its larger profile. The club head is 460cc, like most other drivers these days, but the profile is deeper and allows for a greater margin for error. The club shape drives all energy produced and sent by the player to the shot; very little energy will be wasted. The club shape just looks great in general; smooth and dark black paint, square face angles give rise to a very appealing driver.

The Ping G10 gives a lively, yet low sound upon impact; a solid, yet exciting hit. Be careful, though. Ping Golf has designed this driver to launch the ball a bit higher than the loft degree would have people expect.

 PROS:

 The good news is you don’t have to over swing since you get very good distance on off center hits and it stays on line. The G10 is great for accuracy and distance.  The Ping G10 is a technologically advanced driver with an emphasis on Moment of Inertia (MOI) and Center of Gravity (CG), two things needed for power off the tee.

 CONS:

 The G10 is slightly longer than the standard drivers due to the slightly longer shaft. Make sure you don’t overswing with this club or the longer shaft will punish you. While this might take some getting used to, those who master it might be able to milk the benefits.

 RECOMMENDATIONS:

Ping has certainly produced a fantastic driver, a super-upgraded G5 of sorts. This driver is recommended for pro and amateurs alike. After some getting used to, you’ll be able to launch far, high, and straight down the middle with the latest in the Ping G line It is definitely recommended that the customer try out the driver first; you might not be used to such high launching at the same loft degree.

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION:

Callaway is one of the leading makers of golfing equipment, including high quality drivers. The names itself is as intimidating as the actual driver.

This golf driver features the Hyperbolic Face Technology which is a specific face design that combines math and engineering.  The face is lighter and stiffer in various parts in order to add forgiveness. The outcome is a driver that delivers extremely high ball speeds all across the face. It helps you hit the ball farther and straighter whether you hit the ball well or not. The Diablo is known for its Edge Technology which helps you get higher Moment of Inertia (MOI), more forgiveness, and a greatly expanded sweet-spot that makes even an amateur look like a pro.

While the Diablo looks traditional, it actually has a club head with grooves.  These grooves add discretionary weight to the heel area, which help avoid slices.  This Callaway driver is designed for players who are looking for increased ball speeds and more distance.  You can also achieve better off-center hits as the driver is one of the straightest out there. The Big Bertha Diablo is all about power and performance when it comes to a driver

 PROS:

A driver that makes it practically impossible to slice the ball to the right and any golfer that has ever suffered with this problem will appreciate how many points they will shave off the round totals with the Diablo. 

CONS:

Some players have complained about the extra side spin created by the driver.

RECOMMENDATIONS:

With the largest permitted driver clubface, along with superior technology for distance and control, this driver is suitable for both amateurs and professionals.
