2014 Gloire driver 9 hole review

93tothehole · March 11, 2014

So it is finally in the upper 70's here today but there is still a few spots of snow here and there that havent melted yet even though its been upper 60's lower 70's since saturday. It is very muddy with standing water in some spots on the course so there will be no roll today. Almost all of the drives were right behind the spot they landed at so there was only carry today.

Now onto the driver.........It is mated with an Aldila tour green atx shaft and I was hitting super newing, xxio and pro v1 balls. The feel is unlike anything I have hit before. It feels almost like a pure perfect sweet spot shot with a titanium driver on every shot whether it was in the sweet spot or not. I think it has a metallic sound even though it is a composite face. As far as I can tell it was carrying about the same as my previous R1 and sldr even though this was only my second round in 4 months. The best part, dead center of every fairway. I mean you couldnt carry it and place it anymore in the center than I hit it all day. I can't wait to try it some more. I wish I had a couple of more shafts to try out in it. I could see this one staying in the bag for a while.

Congrats, it's an awesome driver and the new color scheme looks fantastic. I hope one day I could try it out, the new face technology is very interesting.

Good review. Most forgiving head i have tried. Now to find the best shaft to maximize distance.

Thanks for the review - I am assuming a mid high flight with minimum roll out

I hope somebody tries an S or X motore speeder or the new 757 speeder

It was med to high flight with no roll but it was wet. I just unloaded a tour spec speeder or I would've tried it out. I'd like to try another shaft or two.

I hit 2 buckets today and there were a lot of what appeared to be high straight bombs but you can't tell distance at my range after 200 yards. I really don't know if I'm getting all the distance that I can.

I gamed a quadra fire express LD60 today. It was super stable when I made a good swing. I was wild today so I really can't judge the shaft. I know this head is a keeper but I have to find the right shaft. May try a mt6 or attas 4u if I do not keep the Quadra. I got a mid flight with this combo. I had the loft at 10 plus degrees.
