Infiniti Propulsion 460 Driver

The Infiniti Propulsion 460 driver is a great-looking club that is likely to win over many golfers with its performance, too.

The 460cc clubhead includes a thin, beta titanium face and a carbon composite crown reinforced with a metal mesh. While the clubhead hits the legal limit in size, it doesn't appear as monstrous as some other 460cc drivers face-on or at setup.

Looking down at the ball, the metal-mesh carbon matrix with its deep red sheen is quite attractive, as is the very clean clubhead as a whole.

Those golfers who tried the Infiniti Propulsion 460 along with us praised more than just its looks, however. Distance performance and feel were the categories where the Propulsion driver fared best with our group of test-drivers.

The higher-handicappers tended to rate the Infiniti Propulsion 460 driver just a bit higher than the low-handicappers, although this driver drew praise from all levels of golfers.

Forgiveness was the key for the higher-handicappers, with performance on off-center strikes rated as excellent.

The carbon crown of the Propulsion allowed Infiniti to reposition 25 grams of weight to the sole of the club, helping lower the center of gravity to give the golfer a boost in getting the ball up faster.

The Infiniti Propulsion 460 driver is, at the time of this writing, available in lofts of 10.5, 12 and 14 degrees. For golfers who have trouble with the slice, Infiniti offers an offset model with a closed face angle.

At the time of this writing, the Propulsion 460 driver was priced at $399 on the Infiniti Golf website.

Infiniti Golf may not be a household name among equipment manufacturers with most recreational golfers, but the company has been in business since 1987. Infiniti Golf has produced component clubheads for that entire time, and the company's clubs are available through a network of custom club makers, clubfitters and golf pros. Clubs may also be purchased at the company website linked above.
