Driver Comparison

Would I see any difference in distance between these drivers?

Cleveland Launcher Ti460
Cobra 460 Titanium X-Speed
Nike SasQuatch 460 Ti
Adams Redline RPM 460 Dual

How would the feel be different between these?

Man.......thats hard to say. There all pretty long from my experience except the Adams which I have not tried. Out of those I like the launcher comp the best but the face is kinda closed.

I know the sq is supposed to be good but that has not been my experience. It is long though. Sorry I forgot you were talking about the ti launcher. I hit the SQ tour side by side with my ft3 yesterday and the ft3 is just longer for me.

Depends where you hit it on the face.

If you hit them dead center and you have a properly fit shaft you will hit them all the same distance.

I've tried all of those (except for the Adams) and for me the Sasquatch was better. I didn't really care for the Cobra, and the Launcher just didn't feel right for me.

There wont be much difference in distance but there might be a change in the flight. Cobra sets there Retail drivers very closed as in the case with the speed series (not sure on the actual *). Adams are easy to hit but I felt that what they gave in accuracy hurt way too much from distance. Launcher TI460 you would be going back about 3-4 Generations on Cleveland driver (since we are now at the HIBORE XL) so it might be a good bang for your buck on ebay. But Finally the SQ. The SQ's are retailing now just around $200. Exotic shafts wont change the price tag unless your getting a Ozix of course. They have a nice stock shaft that is a great combo with the head of the club. Might be the ultimate bang for your buck because if you let this thing swing itself man its going to take you places you would never think you could reach on the course before.
The way I look at it:
1)Nike SQ
2)Cleveland (just since its so cheap now)
3)Cobra
4)Adams (if you cant swing a club anymore this is for you!)

The SQ is definitly a beautiful club(performance and personally asthetics too). I say try the SQ and try as many combinations of it as you can. Youll need right loft/shaft combo for this to really work for ya.

I'd think you'd have to actually hit all four drivers for yourself to get the answer.

One guy might hit the Cobra farthest, next guy might hit the Nike farthest. Who knows...everyone's swing is different.

Nike SQ is the most forgiving and hits the ball the straightest.
