jacksonlui Posted February 18, 2009 Report Share Posted February 18, 2009 (edited) I've recently acquired two drivers for comparison: Epon AF101 10.5 w/ Rombax 7x07 Regular at 45 inches D1 2007 X-Drive 10.5 w/ Roddio WBA at 45 inches D2 There's no clear winner but based on looks at address and feel, I'm leaning more towards the X-Drive. The X-Drive has a crisp feel to it while the Epon is a little more spongy. I'm not really getting any real good ball speeds cause at the moment my swing sucks, but for comparison sake, I'm at least comparing a crappy swing with another crappy swing. I'm torn between the two and don't really want to keep both. I think i need to wait till my swing comes back and take it to the course so I can better gauge performance and forgiveness. Has anyone done any comparison between these two? Jack Edited February 22, 2009 by jacksonlui Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacksonlui Posted February 22, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2009 I finally had 15 minutes to go smack a few today. I hit 3 balls for each driver and here are the average numbers: Club = Epon Carry = 231.0 Roll = 15.0 Total = 246.0 Offline = 8.4 BS = 134.8 LA = 17.5 Descent = -37.6 Spin = 2567 Side Spin = -225 Side Angle = 0.1 SS = 91.5 Score = 88.9 Club = XDrive Carry = 226.5 Roll = 20.1 Total = 246.5 Offline = -2.1 BS = 137.0 LA = 16.0 Descent = -30.8 Spin = 1569 Side Spin = 68 Side Angle = 0.2 SS = 91.8 Score = 87.9 It looks like the 7x07 regular is a little weak and might need some tipping. The XDrive feels better to me at impact but I do feel that the Epon is a little more forgiving. They both give me good scores. Looks like I might keep both at this rate.

xchangmanx Posted February 22, 2009 Report Share Posted February 22, 2009 For some reason its also easier for me to achive low spin rates w/xdrive heads. Last years black 445 and this years Xdrives have produced 1300-1600 rpm for me w/stock shafts. I can't achieve that spin rate w/my tour burner tp and Epon heads as easily.
