Has anyone played one of these? I’m looking to replace my DTG 2.4 Felon. (To that end, let me know if you want it! It’s on a Grafalloy Prolaunch Superch...

Real men swing Pink?? Not for me if they pushed the center of gravity forward. I usually hit rearward center of gravity wood better.

Haven't heard that name in awhile. The only Geek head you seem to hear about anymore is the DCT

As great as Steve was/is as a designer, this was his worst component, imo. It was just a mediocre head. Launch was way too high, distance short. I may have stated something a bit nicer, back when they came out and Steve was around these parts, but after the initial 1-2 round honeymoon, it was a quickie divorce.

I would buy no Geek driver heads now, unless it could be proven they were 10 yrs. old. Unless you like Integra components. 🤨

I appreciate your insights/experience. Do you have any recommendations for a low spin and forgiving driver head I could scoop up in the $50-$75 range? I’ve got swing speed of 113 (according to the TrueGolf sim I play from time to time) and fight a nasty hook.

Par4QC Might not be a great driver, but it has an awesome name. Say what you will about Steve and his designs, but they definitely had great names. 'Floyd the driver' is just awesome. No Brainer, dot com this, and Bangomatic are pretty good names, too.

For a bit more money, grab a 2016 m1 or a Callaway rogue sz or epic sz, these drivers will be the best bang for your buck.

Hmmmmmm. I think there might be an OG Epic SZ in the Buy/Sell Thread here..... 😉

Interested in head only? I have an OG, low spin, big balls-peed Adams Speedline Fast 12, on a Fubuki Alpha Regular flex, with all the extras, wrench, extension, weights, bag. It's hard to distinguish from new and may fit in your price range.

LBlack14 she’s a beaut! I’ll pass though, the shaft won’t work and I’m looking for less loft (9-9.5 range)

What'll you take for that Adams Fast 12 driver LB?
You can always email me...

Hell, I have an Ashton X1 head here, somewhere, I think.

From what I understand the ISO T is long but not very forgiving. The TC tour is a solid offering but I had trouble turning it over (for some reason). If you miss left the TC tour could be a great option.

Does that mean you have one you are looking to unload?

rsvman2 Not knocking any of his designs, all were awesome. Just this head was not the performer he'd hoped it would be. I don't think sales followed either. HOF may have most of his old stock.

Speaking of Almo, anybody talk to or communicate with him, lately? Wonder how he's doing. I know he's been through his own trials and tribulations, over the past years.

Par4QC

LBlack14 Last I heard he had moved up closer to his relatives. Can't get around without a wheelchair.

If I had ears like yours, and his number, like you do, I'd call. 🤨

Yeah, I probably should. I feel guilty.😞

Par4QC

LBlack14 Asshole.
🤣

Par4QC I was being serious.

The Floyd is sweet. Despite the lackluster reviews I’d still be interested in one for shits and giggles if anyone wants to let one go for a dozen of your preferred balls.
