Its the longest driver I have ever hit, even longer than the MacTec NV3. I found this driver to be very forgiving as well but because it is so hot of the face it seems to get out of control more than the average driver. I had a Fujikura 584HK installed and it brought the flight down and tamed it a bit. If you play the ProV1 X with a high kick shaft this driver is tuned to kill all others out there. I would love to see the results of the long drive contest and the margin it won by if you have the info. Chris, thanks for the info. Unfortunately I don't have all the info of the contest. Read about it in a local magazine recently - the contest itself was quite popular here in Thailand (sponsored by a local major energy drink called Lipovitan D). They also show highlight in local golf program on TV. Contestants are all amateurs and I understand most major club distributors are basically sponsoring all these contestants by providing clubs for the contest. It gets real good publicity like this one. The guy who won it I believe hit a 334 yards - may not be big by the US standard but given the playing condition (soft fairways) it's pretty darn good. All other 11 contestants didn't even reach 300.

Chirs, How's the Honma 420RF compared to X-Drive 390 in terms of distance / forgiveness? The 420RF receives lots of publicity in Thailand right now -- I think because someone won a local long drive contest with it by a big margin too recently. Thanks.
