O.T. Golf club discussion, driver review

Hey guys,
Just wanted to start a golf club review section here ( why not right?) I just thought this would be useful in regards to real ( bad) players reviews on equpiment, it may help us make good decisions regarding our extremely high handicaps.


1.) purchase, Raven Hawk titanium 10 deg. driver.
My thoughts..
Excellenet for the money, it came fitted with a harrison classic shaft. which feels just amazing whether your swinging to stay in control ( easy) or trying to remove the cover from the ball. it has an offset head which may help some of us (slicers) keep the ball on the short grass and out of the trees ( monkey ballers). overall rating on a scale of 1-10 10 being the higest and 1 being the lowest score: 8
other products tried, Callaway, redline, king cobra.
I chose the raven hawk for it's playability feel and lastly for it's price point, it was half the price of the other drivers I tried and I hit it longer.. avg. 275 yds.. my previous average for driving was around 200-220 on a good day.
the ball just screamed off of the face of this puppy.
Price paid, $199.00
there were 3 other Raven hawk drivers available for me to purchase with the same degree of loft and offset, but this one had a harrison shaft and was $80.00 more expensive because of the shaft.

Personnally, this is what I prefer.

I find a used or new Callaway Warbird, Steelhead III etc...

Buy UST Proforce (Pured shaft).

Get club made to specifications.

I bought a Steelhead III head (NEW) with a broken steel shaft on E-bay (broke in shipping) for like $40. Now, this should be $200-$300 club.
Custom UST shaft $30... Clubmaking $10@ local shop.
$10 C-Thru grip .. Made my own label for under the grip w/ address etc....

I like the Callaway club heads and the UST Proforce shafts. OEM shafts are usually crap.

I've been looking at HarmonTourDesign shafts lately.
