I think I read where this is going to have 400HP V8. I have a 2004 645 that "only" has 325HP and that is ridiculously overpowered (but will certainly but big smile on one's face when put to work). I can only imagine what the increase will do to the fun. I really like the lines on this series.

Apparantly insanity is not limited in scope, just in the form taken to express it properly. That a $1000 plus golf bag line can sell out is a good indicator. Not as bad as believing that mortgage backed securities deserved an AAA rating because at least with the golf bag you only spent a grand plus, and you get the really loud unattractive golf bag to lug around. I had a much larger loss, and nothing to show. Maybe I need a new bag....hummm

Keep the lofts more modern. Just because I'm selfish and don't want to have to relearn distances. That and a 50* PW would mean my 52-53* wedges would need some adjustment. I'm not much of a digger swing type ("think dollar bills") so a sole to match is good. Not a big fan of flashy, understated but classy. (how's that for broad description?) I keep thinking I'm getting to old to play blades, but then I see something like this and that excuse evaporates.

So I bought this set up from bogeydog, 10.5* with the Motore Speeder and have had a chance to play a couple of rounds. The clubhead is much as has been noted previously, very hot all over. I've been able to get solid results from a variety of mis**ts. High on the face and the ball flies higher, but no balloon, just higher. On the toe, a shot I always try and rescue by getting really flippy with my hands doesn't lose distance but does tend to get hooky. The shaft is marvelous. Solid, nice nice kick to it, and as stable as they come. It reminds me of the Tour Platform series, with the stability improved. The only thing I can find to fault with this set up is that it won't keep me from putting a bad swing on the ball. If I swing poorly the results reflect that. Fortunately the more I play the better I swing. Oh and yes I did gain distance, depending on the ball I play I'm a few yards farther than with my old set up. I don't find the head at all distracting, in fact even the giant half moon scoop isn't an issue. When I set up to the ball, all I really see is the ball and the clubface. Very attractive. I'll do a formal review shortly. [attachm ent=14549:IMG_0303.JPG]

That putter is breathtakingly beautiful! Can a putter ooze quality? Very very nice

Thanks for the review. I'm anxious to see how you like this set up with the Speeder. I have been intrigued by this driver since the original post, and the knowledge that it is easy to hit just reaffirms that this is a club I should try.

I don't move my hands around at all. Keep it simple is the philosophy I was taught. If I move my hands my swing would have to change in order to hit the ball. Now my brain...that's a different story because it moves at different speeds with each shot. Troublesome, but hey I don't pay it any mind.

That is something I really like, I could date this club with no second thoughts ever. It appears it hits my kind of tee ball as well.

I keep looking at that third picture and trying to visualize why you can see so much of the cavity towards the toe. It almost appears twisted into an S shape sort of kind of, I'm fascinated to learn more about the playing features.

I like the look of that driver a lot. hmmm, I'm needing a replacement/upgrade.

Sells for $399.99. I like the idea of one with the Motore Speeder. That's a shaft which appears to fit me quite well. All that adjustable might be just enough to send a slightly neurotic individual completely over the edge. The problem would never be my swing, it would be the way the club is set up. I might never make it off the range some days. Next thing I'd be asking for an adjustable tee time to compensate for all the preparation time.

I agree those are very attractive. I'm needing to stock up on wedges because they sometimes treat me funny and need to be left in the closet to ruminate on their behavior. That's the theory anyway.

I'm not sure if I could get used to the silver edging at the face/crown juncture. Other than that it sure is pretty

My oh my..Stunning. This could be a must have
