I agree with madmmac, I can't stand the big drivers. I have played golf for 50 years and wouldn't buy one of the big 460cc clubs, others can't live w/o them, big sweet spot. I have a set of old McGregor persimmon woods with the aluminum insert in the face and i can hit them as far as most people hit the big drivers. I now play with a Callaway Steelhead III w/ steel (stiff, rifle shaft), can hit it 280 consistently and have good directional control. When I hit it most guys say, "why are you hitting a three wood"? It's pretty small. I also can't seem to hit the graphite shafted clubs. I do think that higher handicap golfers benefit from the large head and bigger sweet spot. They do offer some advantage to the 15 plus handicapper.

I play with some guys who like the Cobra and hit it a mile, seems like a pretty good club. Don't like Taylormade. FWIW

I have heard that the new Titilest DCI driver is really great, haven't hit one because I don't want to spend $500 to hit the ball further into the woods.
