Nicklaus Air Max 440 ML - 9 Degree Stiff Golf Drivers - Reviews

On 2005-12-31, jvjgolfnut rated this Nicklaus Air Max 440 ML - 9 Degree Stiff a 5...(6553)



Purchase: The golf shop was asking $259.95 on sale, but I went to E-bay and found and bid on this club. I won the bid @ $73.50(I know I should be I jail for theft, it was a steal!!!) It had been barely hit and still had the shaft stiffness sticker on the bottom of the head.
Pros: I went to the range this week and WOW was I surprised. I had the prettiest draw you've seen, and after getting warmed up, I was consistently hitting it 270-280 and fairly straight(for a 45 yr. old that's not bad). I had a difficult time hitting a cut/fade, but I'll give up the ability to work the ball for the consistent distance.
Cons: It is not as forgiving on low-center hits, but the ball did fly straight. If you get too quick the draw becomes a hook. I have to play the ball further forward in my stance, which at first was uncomfortable, but after a few swings I was okay with that.
Quality: I like the look of the dark grey top without any markings. I also like the FUJIKURA stiff shaft, it has great "pop" in the swing zone.

Review Summary: If you are looking for new technology, with a good feel and look, give this driver a try. I think you'll be pleasantly surprised. Go to a golf shop with a launch monitor to find the right shaft, loft, etc... If you are unable to demo one on course/range, then go to E-bay and see if you can find a deal on one.

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
