Had this in the bag for 2 years and hit a lot of fairways, then for some reason started missing them, so I got a Ping G30 and still missed the fairways. My hands were to far back at impact. This had been a very reliable club for me, and I have gone rounds without missing a fairway with it. I used the 12.5* head and M flex Motore shaft, cut to 44 3/4". That shaft is more like a regular to me. I also have a Regular Motore and it feels like a stiff with an R9 head.

This is my back up driver still, and plan on never getting rid of it. I was struggling with the Ping and went back to this, and started hitting fairways again, just love this club. I think the Motore shaft is the best in golf, really good.

Just saw this when perusing the driver reviews so I thought I'd chime in. Had one for a few months a few years back. It was longer than anything I'd used at that point, I was finding spots on my usual courses I'd never reached before. But I couldn't control it, don't know if it was the shaft or the length but I was just loose all over the place with it. A shame as the distance was great.

I don't know what you had for a shaft, but this is the most accurate driver I have ever owned. In fact it is back in the bag until something else can remove it. I missed one fairway with it. I have the Motore M flex shaft.

It is still in the bag, but might soon be replaced by the M2, we will see.

I hit this against the M2 and the Ping G30, and it held it's own. This is one great driver. I will probably put the M2 in the bag, but this baby still hits it well.

The M2 is firmly in the bag. I cut the shaft 1 1/2" and it was money all day. My friends(hmmm) were po'ed all day. I am still keeping the 460 just in case.

i have an R9 super tri and i can't hit anythinbg other than a slight or heavy draw with it. Mind you, my swing is not the best. I do like this driver, and i get great distance with it, when my 3 wood isnt working that day.

I have used it since it 1st came out...have tried every other "newest and greatest" but there just was not enough gains to

make the price worth it ! It still is as long as the newer ones.

I concur it is a great driver. So much so I bought another head off eBay just in case I broke the one I have in the bag. Its a great club head!

My son hit this and I bet you know the rest of the story. He was knocking it around 260 with a slight draw at the end, with the senior Motore shaft. That shaft is the real deal!
