NO...not a 'for sale' post. A review.
Got the head yesterday and on 1st sight thought....mehh, just another black driver head. 😄
Matte finish on the crown, and a bit slicker/brighter finish on sole, which I had doubts about. Good looking head overall.
Put a Leveler shaft, R Flex, in it @ 46 1/2". I had ordered the weight kit so immediately went with the 12 gr. weight bringing head weight up to 205 gr.. Stock was the 5gr. weight and head weight was 200 with it. Not often the advertising is spot on with any components (weights), esp. driver heads, kudos Kelly!
The 1st thing I noticed when looking down at address was that the face looked different than when looking at it straight on. I had to put a few other drivers next to it to see that the toe is just slightly more rounded off. imo, a good thing as it gives the face a better look. The pics show how it looks different at address and straight on.
Face angle is square to my eye, which I was worried about when waiting for it. Closed is a huge nono with me.
Another worry was the fact I do not own nor play 10.5* heads, for good reason.
I did get to hit it today, the only day I will until next Spring. And, it is going to be a long wait, wanting to hit this driver even more. I put 9 hits on it and was very surprised by all of them.
#1 thing was trajectory with the 10.5. Not high, like I was expecting. Basically the same as any of my 9 heads. (low spin head Kelly??)
#2 thing was something everyone NEEDS to know, and loves to hate....the sound. Honestly, I've never felt/heard a sound like this from any driver that I can recall. Just a deep, muted, THUD, and the ball was gone as soon as it touched the face. No tink, no ding, no ringing in the earpieces🤣. Do not recall hitting any head with this sound, but I've not hit all there is.
#3 thing was distance......just as long as anything I've hit this year. And given we had 20+ mph wind today, I hit 2 into the wind that were the longest I have hit on those holes this year. So....?
#4 thing was that paint on the sole, which I had thoughts about.... shows no scratches at all!! Slick/shiny....there was a good reason for that.
#5 thing I noticed was the lie angle at 46 1/2". Just a hair flatter than others, which is great. Nothing drastic, and should be better even at 45" than most.
Not sure what more I can relate or what other things people want to know, but ask away if you want.
Nice head. Damn nice head in fact. I was skeptical, but knowing Kelly through the years, I should not have been and apologize publicly. 👍
And, BTW, yes.....there are 9 ball marks on that face, although just a hair high; tee obviously was too low, but an experiment. That's the Leveler/Neuro combo!! In the FW when used. All of them.
And....I paid cold, hard earned cash for this whole set up. Good thing performance was there. 🤨
