I hit the two drivers mentioned above side by side on the range and on the course. I got more distance out of the Spectrum (<10yds), but may be attributable to lower loft and the wet conditions. Most of my drives with the Prop460 were high slight draws, a very good shape for me, but no roll out (wet course). The driver felt great, sound was different to me, but I've mainly only hit SMT drivers recently.
Overall great driver, may try the same driver with a lower loft, but will definitely try the Accuflex Evolution in a driver soon. Thanks, CGS, for the opportunity to demo.
Driver should reach leaguegolf by Friday.
Well League injured his wrist and was not able to demo this club so he passed it along to the next person in line (Golf-a-holic). Maybe we will get an update sometime soon.
It has been a long time since we have received an update on the club, does anyone have the status?
Even on my good drives I am getting out driven by 20 yards or more, so I would really like to try this driver out and see if it can make a difference.
I would like to thank Custom Golf Sales for allowing us to demo this driver and I hope the rest of the people that demoed the club will write their review.

Comments:
The first couple of holes it took some getting use to, I kept hitting it off the toe (I will put an alignment mark on top of the club soon, which is why I gave it a 4 I think that it should come with a mark already)
I hit more fairways than normal and my slice was not as bad on my off hits. I did not loose a ball the front 9 at all. By the 18th hole I hit one straight up the middle about 280 out on a flat hole. I will keep this club for sure, and the next club I need I am going to visit Custom Golf Sale.

I loved the way the club set up and looked...the shaft was the real down fall for me, it seamed a bit hard to control. I lost shots right but the distance was fine. The driver was a bit shorter in distance than my titleist and the demo club was much louder than i'm a custom too. Overall the club performed well but i would love to try this head with a speeder shaft. Thank you for letting me demo the club.

First, thanks again to Victory and Chris Gammon for the opportunity to win this club.
The head color (dark blue) and shape is gorgeous. The shaft as I spec'd it was maybe a touch too firm, resulting in a lot of fades (not bad for a guy who fights a hook!), but just a little hard to adjust to. I am big into "what looks right at address" and this one fits the bill for me: traditional pear shape, and very square at address.
Very nice golf club, I would recommend it as it's as good as anything I've seen out there.
