On 2002-07-02, Frank Vigiano rated this Wilson Deep Red 845cc Driver 10.5 Regular Flex Shaft a 5...(223)
Purchase: I bought my Callaway in Texas while on a business trip 5 years ago and was satisfied with the performance but.....
I thought it was time to look into a new driver. I began my search on-line and read as many reviews as possible, submittedf by both professional
and amateur golfers. After reading 20-25 reviews, I knew I was on to something. I called my local major sporting good outlets but cam up short.
They were all sold out. After several phone calls, I finally located the club at my local driving range. My buddy and I entered the shop, walked to the driver section, pulled it out of the display, gripped it and immediately walked up to the sales counter and bought it. My buddy as well as the salesperson asked if I wanted to hit a few balls first but I declined.
This was the first time I ever purchased a club without hitting a single ball. Once I saw it, I fell in love with it. I told my buddy that if I couldn't hit it I would display it in my living room. It's that pretty.
The club was advertised on the internet at the Golf Warehouse for $299. No tax and free shipping but I didn't want to wait a week for it to arrive.
I negotiated the $329 price at the shop down to $290 and a free large bucket of balls.
Pros: I like everything about this club. The best way I can describe the look is to say that it is "comfortable" to look at and combined with the 345cc size,
it somehow instilled me with immediate confidence. Couple that with the clubhead size, the feel of the thin clubhead and the Wilson fat shaft and it is utterly amazing.
I guess what I like best about the club is that there is no one item that makes it outstanding but a combination of several items.
Cons: Absolutely nothing.
Quality: Excellent. I can say no more. Solid, attractive and swift. Holding the club by the clubhead, the club seems to float in mid air.
Review Summary: This is the first time I feel as if the magic won't wear off in a week or two. Buy it.
