Review:
I was looking for a backup driver for my TaylorMade 300 when I came across this gem. This club comes in at 300cc, which by today's standards is small. I chose the 10-degree (loft) version - it also comes in 8.5-, 9- and 12-degrees.
The clubhead material is a "maraging steel," which according to the manufacturer creates a very thin face to give the golfer a larger-than-titanium sweet spot. And they may be right on the money with that statement.
This club has been one of the most accurate drivers I have ever owned. A very forgiving driver for the size of the clubhead. As far as distance goes, it does not match the TaylorMade I own, though it makes up for it in accuracy.
One of the few problems I might encounter with this club is that it does have a tendency to turn a draw into a hook. I think that may stem from the fact that I do hit a draw and the stock shaft may not be a true "stiff" flex. But needless to say, for the price I paid this club could easily replace most exspensive drivers out there.
So if you're interested in getting a new driver and you do not want to refinance your home to get one, pick up the Tommy Armour EVO driver. This driver is not recommended for those who like to hit drivers that are as big as Volkswagen Beetles!
