After playing a round all I can say is wow! With no range time and only a few practice swings on the first tee, I drove straighter than in any round I'd ever played in my whole life.

I went with the 13 over the 16 because I thought the increase in required tee height for the larger club face combined with the 13 loft would more closely match the launch angle of my 3-wood. The Nike lucky 13 and the sweet 16 then seemed like potential solutions to my inconsistency. The 460cc driver wave came and many of my friends spoke highly of the increased forgiveness of the larger club face but I feared giving up the extra loft. Even with this approach I was hit-or-miss from the tee if I managed to hit the sweet spot then I was straight but if I missed even in the slightest, I was often in the trees. In fact, I'd been using a 3-wood with an extended shaft off the tee for years to take advantage of the increased loft. I'd long ago given up the hope of hitting a driver from the tee box.
