Driver review for GM

[rgs]

Review returned to GM for the April edition. Managed to play 18 holes on Saturday in a stiff breeze-good testing conditions to assess the Taylor Made Draw Burner Driver in a competitive outing.

Have to say the driver performed superbly-hit 9/15 fairways,only one really bad drive and that was a breakdown in technique, i swung too quickly and lost my rhythm.
Distances were greater than achieved with my Taylor Made R5.
Into the wind the ball flew with a penetrating flight.

The size of the clubhead at 460cc does give you confidence when addressing the ball.

After one competitive round i am very happy with the driver and will continue to use the club.

I tested Topflite balls review also in April but slightly harder to be jealous of those.

Still, did not do it for the freebies so more than happy.

Strata tour ace, made by Topflite and a really good ball. Not easy to get though.

 

[GB72]

These were called 'Freak' and 'Gamer' balls

Taylor Made TP burner for me to test. Awaiting request for the review. Haven't managed to hit it on the course yet. Next Thursday is the day for that.

9 out of 15 fairways! performed superbly? hate to think what a bad round is like.

I hit 9/14 fairways on saturday. Well chuffed!

 

[GB72]

Do you count the fairways of neighbouring holes. If so I hit a fiarway more often than not. Even drove the green on a 500 yard par 5 albeit that it was the green for the par 3 off to the right.

I tested the Nike Sumo2 Irons for april's issue also.

As I live in hampshire I have been lucky to play almost every weekend since recieving the clubs .

[Parmo]

Any good Liam? I have been looking at them and the CCI nikes.

 

[rgs]

Craigy mac what percentage of fairways do you hit on any given day?
I hit 66% of the fairways-
Sergio Garcia rated one of the best drivers in Europe has an average of 69%.
The leader in accuracy stats is Jean Francois Lucquin at 76.8%.

 

[RGuk]

I hit 82% fairways (last count) - am I better than Sergio?
Actually better than Lucquin too.

Trouble is, I hit it 80 yards shorter than these guys...
