Wow! I'd like to see how this thing hits with a really good shaft. The most hard to believe thing about it is that the "engine" of the club is a True Temper Command steel shaft! This shaft is the lowest priced shaft True Temper makes. On four of the six holes the 580 was longer and straighter.
I hit on several more holes along with the 983E. The ball jumped off the clubface and went nearly 300 yards straight down the middle! Two holes later, I tried it again and also hit the 983E. I could not believe it when I hit the ball. So, I thought I would hit a provisional (err.mulligan,ha!). I had just purchased he used 580 for next to nothing on Ebay and picked it up that day. I had just hit the 983E and the wind pushed it towards the hazard. The first time I hit it was on a 495 yard uphill par 5 and into a 15 mph wind. I was playing a TM 540XD and/or a Titleist 983E UNTIL I tried this driver. I have played in two US Amateur qualifying events and there are only a handful of these guys who can pop 300.so, take these instant 'I'm a mad bomber off the tee' posts as comedic and just go test it for yourself. Maybe 5% of amateurs have EVER hit a drive of 300 w/o wind aid, downhill, etc. When you see someone make a post 'shoots in the 90's' and they are suddenly bombing it 300+.uh, okay. Also bought the V-Steel 3 wood which I like, but will be upgrading the shaft to a ProForce 65 to get the ball flight down a bit.įor those of you who are reading these reviews as a resource please take them with a grain of salt. So, I'm on pay dirt more and picked up distance for chump change on eBay. I flight the ball much lower now.beautiful.
Picked up a good 20 yards on average as well which I attribute to upgrading my 1993 War Bird technology and shaft dynamics. The accuracy I gained with the shaft and probably some club head design is just insane. Paid $35 for my 580 10.5 on eBay with a ProForce 65 X-Stiff. Have played the same Eye2's for over 20 years, but just recently swapped out my War Bird driver and 3 wood for TM's. I'm a 2.3 index for '07 and am an old salt with clubs.
