Yes, driver review forum somewhere says it's not long but deadly accurate in the middle.

OK, I saw those threads.. Thank you all..

Had a 7.5 deg neutral, already traded it off. Didn't "wow" me.

That's what I thought initially..
But my wife loves it. She said it's the most forgiving driver in the world.
She tried/owned every kind of Callaway Drivers before..

I bought one this past weekend, I hit it, along with a dozen other drivers at Golf Galaxy.

It ranked number 2 for me, selected 9.5 degree with nuetral bias. I consistantly hit it it middle section with an average of 270 yards..give or take 15 yards. I found it very forgiving a few hours later as I played 18, hitting my best shot of my horrible golf career (I stink, but love the sport, high 90s to 100) It was a very slight dog leg right, 120 yards to lay up, the rest of the fairway is a series of bunkers..no safe landing spot..270 to carry them. I blasted it over the bunkers, rolling a perfect 310 yard drive, to be able PW onto the green. Great feeling with a driver that just came from the store hours ago.

I ranked the Cleveland HiBore number 1..I hit a 8.5 with the pro launch shaft. I really wanted this one, but Golf Galaxy's special won over

HiBore 399.00
Ben Hogan 99.00

Easy decision.

Few more weeks under my belt, and I am still loving this club. I hit it shorter than the HiBore, but I have become very accurate with it, and the money I saved did help me play a few more rounds, and save some face with the wife.

Head over to Golf Galaxy and grab one while they are still there for 99.00

I did notice though, they really only have a lot of higher lofts left..I really wanted an 8.5, but had to settle on a 9.5

I'm playing with the C-S3 Draw and I love it. I don't know if it's a mental thing or what, but it's really helped with my slices.

average....

i'm a pro in florida and play all hogan gear. played a 9.5 neutral, seemed to balloon on me alot. found it to be really accurate though. love the look at setup. weird thing though hitting balls on the range one day i cracked the **** thing. now i've done this before to the face of the driver, but this time the crack went across the crown from fromt to back. odd.

that being said it's a great driver for scoring, and at around $90 new on ebay, its hard to imagine a more valuable driver on the market right now.

i can't wait to see hogan's new driver though, they're about due for a new one...

really nice driver to hit with. before i bought it i had the chance to test all the big name drivers out. i felt as if all the drivers gave more or less the same distance. i hit this driver 16-20 yards further on average. i hit them all pretty much straight, but this one was more forgiving. it comes stock with a very good shaft that keeps up with the performance of the clubhead.

overall for the money i think this is one of the best drivers for the buck.
