On 2004-10-30, Searching for distance and forgiveness... rated this Nike 460cc Ignite a 5...(4717)
Purchase: I paid $399.00 US dollars.
Pros: I like the fact that at address it gives confidence based on the head size. I am used to playing Titliest 975 series drivers and it has not be a radical change. I have been hitting my Titleist 250-260 most of the time and the first time out with this club I hit drives of 300 twice and only one of my drives was less than 270. I noticed that my slices were straighter than normal. There was a couple of times I thought I have hit it into the next fairway and the ball was 50 feet left of where I expected it to be after finding it. It is honestly more forgiving for me.
Cons: I would have liked to have a cord grip and a headcover that is easier to remove and replace. I cannot work the ball very good with this club. That is a good thing when I hit it wrong as it isn't offline as much as I am used to but some courses require a draw or fade off the tee so I may be forced to hit a 3 wood if I can't get to the point where I can work this driver. I can't imagine this being to big of a problem but it is noticeable. The Nike flexes are a little soft. I bought the X even though my swing speed is only around 100 MPH. The X is perfect for me but the Stiff is too soft. That is not a problem if you know this prior to purchasing.
Quality: I have only used the club twice on the course after two sessions on the range. It seems like it may hold up just fine but time will tell.
Review Summary: Having increased my T-shots by at least 20 yards on average, I can't say enough about it. I am missing by less as I have said and the club is making the game fun again.

Purchase: I purchased the Ignite because my old driver cracked and I felt like getting a really nice driver. I bought the Ignite at Jorgensons Golf in Marysville, WA. I payed $360 plus tax.
Pros: One thing I like about this driver is that it has a very large sweet spot so if you dont swing perfect you can still blast your tee shot. Whenever I hit the ball solid it feels like my heart skips a beat because it has that much power.
Cons: The only thing I dont like about the ignite is that it is 460cc because it is a little to big. so i would suggest getting the 410cc Ignite.
Quality: I have a stiff shaft on my Ignite and it is very good quality. The grip is the nicest just rubber grip I have ever used. The head is some kind of new titanium Nike came up with that is lighter and stronger than the old Nike driver.
Review Summary: It was well worth paying $360 because it is the best driver I have ever used by far. I would suggest you buy the 410cc version of this driver. The Ignite has the best materials there is used to make a driver. If you have $360 you have to go out and buy this driver I am very happy with it and you will be too.
