ULTIMATE REVIEW! – PING I20 Driver

The short version of the story is that the PING i20 driver is now the #1 Driver in our review database, and that’s pretty damn impressive. We do believe that the majority of golfers would probably be better served by PING’s G20 driver -especially if you’re wise enough to place a premium on fairways. I mean, If the G20 is good enough for a Masters Champion, I’m fairly certain it’s good enough for you. Of course, few would argue that the i20 isn’t the better looking, and in my opinion, better feeling driver. So if you’re willing to sacrifice just a little bit of accuracy, the distance gains offered by the i20 might be worth it. I’m certainly wouldn’t fault anyone for bagging the i20. {Read the Full Review}

ULTIMATE REVIEW – Bridgestone J40 445CC Driver

This one might be the “Most Shocking MyGolfSpy Review Ever!” Why? Well because the Adams 9064LS has ranked as the #1 Driver in our review system for the past 400 Days!…and it just got replaced. Yes, you read that right…400 Days! Quite an impressive run to say the least. We knew one day its reign would come to an end…we just didn’t think it would be today.

ULTIMATE REVIEW! – ADAMS SPEEDLINE 9064LS

“No single driver we’ve tested in 2010 comes close to matching the Adams 9064LS as far as the opinions of our testers are concerned!”

With respect to performance, only the freakish PowerBilt Air Force One N7 has proven longer, and no driver we’ve tested this year has been, on average, more accurate for our pool of testers.

ULTIMATE REVIEW! – Nike VR_S Driver

“The combination of more distance and obscene accuracy offered by the 2012 Nike VR_S driver had our senior tester more excited than he’s been since Viagra hit the market. You might not know it but this is the driver review you’ve been waiting to read all year…trust me!” {MUST READ REVIEW!}

ULTIMATE REVIEW! – Callaway RAZR Fit Driver

I know there are some of you who will put your noses in the air because you don’t like Callaway, or because you think composite sucks. To all of you, let me just say this; get over your damned selves. It doesn’t get much better than this. The results of our tests suggest that the Callaway RAZR Fit Driver is both long and straight…make that really long, and really straight! {READ REVIEW!}

ULTIMATE REVIEW! – Cobra AMP Driver

Just because you can’t hit a golf ball like Rickie Fowler doesn’t mean you can’t wear orange pants, grow a questionable mustache, or swing the same driver used by the emerging PGA superstar. Admittedly none of our testers was willing to actually grow a mustache or wear orange pants (for the record, I’d wear them in a heartbeat), but we did put Cobra’s (and Rickie’s) driver to the test. What we found suggests that tales of a weak stock shaft are greatly exaggerated, and that there’s much more to the AMP than orange grips and a shiny silver crown. {READ REVIEW!}

ULTIMATE REVIEW! – Cobra S3 Driver

BIG QUESTION: is the Cobra S3 a better driver then the S2? (Well…2 of our testers starting bagging the S3 driver right after the review, and another went out and purchased an S2 (he told us he actually liked the S3 better, but he got the S2 for half the price). {READ REVIEW TO FIND OUT MORE!}

ULTIMATE REVIEW! – Titleist 910 D2 Driver

If you are in the market for a new driver in 2011, and particularly so if you’re looking for an adjustable model, the Titleist 910 D2 is well worth the time it takes to demo the club.

The Titleist 910 posted some of the highest scores we’ve ever seen. {READ THE FULL REVIEW}

ULTIMATE REVIEW! – Nike VR Pro Limited Driver

“Yes…it’s true. While the change may not be official, and may not even be permanent, as the golf season winds down, the Nike VR “Limited” has ousted my previous gamer. The Nike VR Pro Limited driver is an absolute beast. WHO IS THIS DRIVER FOR?: Basically the Nike VR “Limited” is for anyone who wants a workable driver that sound and feels pretty good and those who hate the sight of a bulky hosel and can’t be bothered to carry a wrench” – - – > {READ FULL REVIEW}

ULTIMATE REVIEW! – Callaway RAZR Hawk Driver

“You would be doing yourself a huge disservice by not adding the Callaway Razr Hawk Driver to your demo list when it comes time to buy your next driver!”

I’m a long way away from replacing my gamer, but the RAZR Hawk is the first driver I’ve tested this year that’s likely to see some actual on course time with me. (READ FULL REVIEW)

ULTIMATE REVIEW! – Nike VR Pro Tour Driver

“The numbers say the Nike VR Pro driver is impressively and deceptively long. All 6 of our testers produced A-Level performance scores. I’m inclined to label Nike the most underrated and under appreciated of the “Big 5″ OEM’s (TaylorMade, Callaway, Titleist, Cleveland, and Nike).”

ULTIMATE REVIEW! – PING G20 Driver

“If you only read 1 driver review the rest of this year…this should be the one. Not only does this driver perform well but Ping drivers are often overlooked when golfers are buying a new driver. So…why are they overlooked…and why should you be trying this driver for your bag? Read our review to get the answers.” – - > {READ REVIEW}

ULTIMATE REVIEW! – Ping K15 Driver

If you’re the kind of golfer who fights a slice, frequently misses to the right, or simply can’t achieve any degree of consistency with your current driver, then absolutely, you should be looking at the PING K15.

ULTIMATE REVIEW – Cobra ZL Encore Driver

“Accuracy can always be a concern, but the numbers suggest the Cobra ZL Encore is one of the more accurate drivers we’ve had in for testing recently…We’ve done enough club testing over the last few years to develop some pretty reliable generalizations. One of those is that Cobra drivers will always perform well for us.” {READ REVIEW!}

ULTIMATE REVIEW! – Adams Speedline 9088 UL Driver

“If you’re simply looking to pick up an extra MPH or two, generate some extra ball speed, and generally smack the cover off the ball, by all means go demo the 9088 UL and find out if ultralight is right for you.” – - -> {READ FULL REVIEW!}

ULTIMATE REVIEW – TourEdge XCG5 Driver

Here’s what you need to know about TourEdge’s XCG5 Driver. The XCG5 offers average players an alternative to the company’s CB4 lineup (designed for better players), and is among the most accurate and, I believe, most forgiving drivers we’ve ever tested. Most impressive is that TourEdge was able to achieve this without sacrificing any critical design elements. What I mean by that is the club looks almost traditional at address. If there’s a knock on the XCG5 is that it’s loud, but rather than be put off by it, think of the loud pop as the club’s way of letting you know you just found the fairway. {Read the Full Review}

ULTIMATE REVIEW! – Royal Collection JP104 Driver

Ever heard of Royal Collection before? Maybe you recall the name Sonartec…similar look huh. Whether you remember the name or not I think you will want to read our review of their newest driver the Royal Collection JP104. It produced some of the most consistent results of any driver we’ve tested this far.

ULTIMATE REVIEW – PowerBilt Air Force One N7 Driver

“One of the most shocking driver reviews we have ever done at MyGolfSpy! The Tour version of this driver is more then just an infomercial golf joke…this thing is LONG.”

ULTIMATE REVIEW! – Srixon Z-TX Driver

It offers all the distance you can possibly need, better than average accuracy, all in a very traditional looking package, which to me was the most surprising aspect of the Z-TX.

ULTIMATE REVIEW! – Adams Speedline Fast 10 Driver

While it may not prove to be the perfect club for everyone, our tests suggest that Adams has another winner on their hands – and no doubt their loyal fans, and likely some new fans as well, will be adding the SpeedLine Fast 10 to their golf bags this season.

ULTIMATE REVIEW! – TigerShark PowerPod II

Every now and then I come across a golf club that offers something a little bit different from everything else in the industry. But…one look at the PowerPod II, and one almost can’t help but think it’s a gimmick that belongs in the same class as “The Hammer”. Although the comment we heard most often from our testers was, “It’s better than you would think”.

ULTIMATE REVIEW! – Cleveland Launcher DST Driver

With respect to overall performance, the Launcher is a pure distance machine. The ultralight design appears to have a measurable (although not necessarily substantial) impact on overall distance, and despite some loss of accuracy that we think is tied to the increased shaft length.

ULTIMATE REVIEW! – Fourteen Golf JC-909 Driver

A few of our testers rated the JC-909 as their absolute favorite driver during one of our recent testing session. Equally as telling to me – not a single golfer indicated any strong dislike for the club. While there were most certainly some faint grumblings about shaft length, and louder grumbling over price, to a man, our testers think the JC-909 is a solid driver.

DRIVER REVIEW – Ping i15 Driver (For The Better Golfer)

At first glance, the Ping I15 seems like a reincarnation of the Taylormade Superquad due to its black finish, but it is far from it in both performance and design. The first thing I noticed was the traditional pear-shaped head.

REVIEWED! – Ping G15 Driver

No matter what this driver looks like the thing just performs. And like always Ping just seems to put one consistent driver out after another. It is hard not to like it when it hits it straight and goes long and feels great at contact.

PRODUCT REVIEW: Cobra Zero Limit Driver!

This Review needs an excerpt.

ULTIMATE REVIEW – Nike DYMO vs. Taylormade R9

I gotta admit Nike Golf should be commended for their latest marketing move. So what was it you ask? Well…a couple months ago Nike sent MyGolfSpy and lots of other bloggers on the web a SQ Dymo driver for free to review. But there was a small and risky catch on their part…we had to test it head-to-head versus the Taylormade R9.
