Wilson Fatboy 427 cc Golf Drivers - Reviews

On 2005-05-29, Will rated this Wilson Fatboy 427 cc a 5...(5572)



Purchase: I'm a 50 something southpaw who has only been playing golf a little over a year. I have a couple of older drivers that I haven't used except on the driving range - both were quite hard to hit. I've been using a #3 hybrid (Tour Edge Bazooka Jmax ironwood) for my long drives with inconsistent results - some fairways but a lot of banana balls. Due to my limited budget, I haven't been eager to buy a new driver. After reading positive reviews on the Fatboy and seeing how reasonably priced it is, I decided that it just might be the driver for me. I paid $49.99 at Rock Bottom Golf.
Pros: The Fatboy is extremely forgiving. Surprisigly, I hit much more accurately and with not nearly as much side spin as with the hybrid. I hit a lot more fairways now! Distance is quite acceptable - I regularly hit 190 - 210 yards on the fly. With better technique, I'm sure that my distance could be much more substantial. This may not be the longest hitting driver on the market, but for the money, it's more than adequate. I also like the appearance of the club. The head is attractive and nicely finished. "Traditional" golfers may not appreciate the gold colored shaft, but I like it.
Cons: Nothing so far.
Quality: This club appears to be well built. The head is nicely finished.

Review Summary: I love this driver. I only wish I'd bought it sooner!!
