I purchased this driver with the intent to resell it for a little profit(Dicks was having a double-your-trade-in deal). I'm a 15-16 handicap, and was previously hitting a Titelist 907D2. I hit off the tee with a slight natural draw, but mostly straight. However, when I miss, it's always to the right (slice). I was never a real believer in buying new equipment to help your golf game. Fix the swing, not the club, right?
Just for kicks, I put this in my bag for a few rounds, and let's just say it's been in there for 3 months now. This club helps IMMENSELY with off center hits. There are times I know I'm barely grabbing a piece of the ball with the toe, or clipping it with the heel. The club still manages to shrug it off and get the ball moving forward. My bad slices have turned more into fades, as in, they're not in the rough and under the trees, but right on the edge of the fairway. I'm not saying this club is a miracle worker. I can still manage to let a nasty shot loose, but for those XX% of shots, that are just so close to being playable 2nd shots after your drive, this club does everything in its power to make sure you have that clear 2nd shot.
The stock shaft is suprisingly not sucky. Aldila Harbenero (sp?).My Tileist was shafted with an Aldila DVS, which I liked. This shaft has similar flight characteristics, so it suits me. Ball launch is mid-high for me.
Overall distance has greatly improved. The face of this club is what I believe people call "hot". If you manage to hit dead center, you can literally feel the ball compressing into the face of the club, and in turn, the face exploding during the release. Previous avg. driving distance IN THE AIR was around 240, with roll around 260. With the Diable Edge, I'm average 250-260yd air, with roll 280-290. I've blasted my first 300+ yd drives with this club as well. Feels weird making a 70 yd pitch up to the green on a 380 yd par 4.
Sounds great too. Not obnoxious like a lot of the game improvement clubs out there (FtIq, monster XLS, Nike Sumos, etc.). Why the 4 stars? It DOES have a weird little triangle shape at the back side, so it's not a true "pear" shape. Overall, it is quite large, although It's probably because I'm used to playing a 907D2. Honestly, I don't even notice it anymore, and the payoff is more then worth it. Although, some purists and snobs might dismiss the club entirely just for that fact.
