On 2004-03-26, bogeyman rated this Billy Club 380 a 4...(3194)
Purchase: Mine was $24.95 at Sam's or with a head cover, $34.95. Was using an offset Cobra Gravity Back 10.5 driver with a regular flex Cobra shaft and everything went way up in the air. I'm not the biggest hitter in the world and I was looking for some roll in the fairway.
Pros: Although the Cobra and the Club seem to actually weigh about the same, the Club feels lighter and easier to swing. And while it doesn't carry a lot farther than the Cobra, it does roll an extra 10 or 20 yards. It works best with a long tee.
Cons: Only thing I can see someone might not like about the Billy is the shaft. Like the 10 degree head, there's only one choice -- and that one choice ain't gonna make everybody happy. The grip suits me, but some might think it is too soft. But hey!! For $24.95??
Quality: Looks are nothing to write home about, but black's O.K. with me. I don't hit it hard enough to bash in the face, but it is titanium so it should hold up and anybody who does hit it 350 yards will want a stiff, low torque shaft in it. Review Summary: Surprisingly good club for the money. I probably wouldn't have bought it if someone hadn't told me about it.

Purchase: To date I have not purchased the Billy 380, but know that I will. I was told that it was puchased at Sam's Club for $39.00 At the range a buddy let me take it for a test drive.
Pros: I have only been golging for about 1 1/2 years and have never even attempted to use a driver nor any other wood for that matter. I was limited in my off the tee drive by using only a 3 iron. When all went well I have went as long as 240 yards which is OK but I could only imagine what I could do with a true driver in my hand. I have tried many different clubs from Ping, to Callaway and nothing came close to the fairway. My first swing of the Billy driver went straight as the day is long and sofly dropped about 250 yards out. After about 10 more swings with 8 of the 10 landing in roughly the same location I was sold on the need for a driver and the Billy Club has to be it. The fellow that allowed me to test drive it is a modest 12 handy cap. The way I see it is it's not about how much you spend, it's about getting the most for your money. As a father of 5 ranging from 23 years old down to 2 years old, money is tight. I will be getting my own as soon as the funds permit. Thanks for making a product that is really all about the game and not about the price.
Cons: The only thing I can say that I don't like about it is this, I DON'T OWN MY OWN BILLY CLUB..........YET!
Quality: Not being a true golfer but only someone who likes to golf I can only say that the proof is on the swing and the fairway positioning. With this club I found all that an more. Review Summary: In closing here you go;
I am sold that a driver needs to be in your bag of tricks regarless what stage you are at in your golf game. The Billy Club looks as good as your buddies $350.00+ driver and will more than likely out drive it. I would rather have the Billy with $300.00+ in my pocket. Investing in the Billy is like getting a great driver and a couple rounds of golf for FREE. I am looking forward to getting out, getting my own BillY and getting to the tee with a real driver. Thanks

Went to the range yesterday to practice. Took the new 9.5* driver to test it out. I hit it a lot better than I figured I would with that factory insta
