Bat Posted November 26, 2007 Report Share Posted November 26, 2007 Yeah it's not quite as red when outdoors and really standing above it.Bat does that mean you're getting one? (^_^) I can't say that I'm not tempted. I'm just getting along so well with the GR right now. Can't really see anything kicking this one out of the bag any time soon. But I'm sure you've heard that before. lol One thing for sure, is that I'll be demoing the XD445 as soon as it's available here. Bat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xchangmanx Posted January 25, 2008 Report Share Posted January 25, 2008 Has anyone hit this driver yet? I am especially interested in a comparison between this and the Epon. This one may be just what I am looking for.......also, are custom shafts available? I just picked up the epon a couple of weeks ago and have used it for about 5 rounds. Last week after getting results from the launch montior w/the Xdrive GR w/rombax 7xo7 stiff; I opted to go and get a Xdrive 445. Both great drivers, re: the epon and 445.> I hit the 445 farther, but the epon has alittle more of the trajectory I want, and it feels alittle bit smoother for me. Got the 445 down to about 282 avg drive, and hit acouple 315 320 drives. My Epon is about 5 - 10 yards shorter average. However, I was more than pleased w/my purchase of the 445.

jacksonlui Posted January 26, 2008 Report Share Posted January 26, 2008 how's the forgiveness of epon vs. GR vs. 445? the grooves on the xdrive is pretty cool, would think that extra spin will get it up and minimize side spin, but ballooning might be a concern, not sure...

My "mis**ts" w/the xdrive have been on the sweet spot, but I do notice more spin. I don't know if tis due to the grooves, or the shaft. (I have the GR xdrive w/roddio 6ba, used to have a 7x07, and I can't really tell if the grooves add more spin, cuz that GR just goes straigt for me) I swing the 445 at 107-110mph. On my mis**ts> I notice alot of low trajectory knockdown shots, which I end up loosing a good deal of yardage on. Other than that No balloons, no blocked shoots, quite easy to release compared to the rombax shaft. When I hit it right, the 445 goes med-high piercing w/low spin. I think its more forgiving than the epon, but then again they both have different shafts. Workability is right up there w/my 983k. Overall, the epon driver and 445 are great w/good ball strikers, contrast I let my friend who just started golf, hit my epon, and he hits is burner better. I think if you can whack the ball decently, the 445 is a great choice! I hope this answers your question. T Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
