Adams Ovation 460

Advantages: Weight movable technology
Disadvantages: Not for the beginner

...-glare finish which gives the club a menacing look. Four removable weights have been fitted, Two 12g and two 1g weights. A massive 460 cc club head combined with TaylorMade's Inverted Cone Technology produces an extremely-high eMOI (Effective Moment Of Inertia) that exceeds 5800. A TaylorMade RE*AX 65 graphite shaft which reduces ovaling in the mid-section and promotes stability, consistency and increased club head speed Very impressive but what does it mean to the average guy? Not a lot but boy it goes along way off the tee. Conclusion Would I recommend this club? Yes but not to the beginner. This is a club for the good to very good golfer and at about £230 pounds this is a good buy.... Read review

Recently Ping brough out a newer / updated driver (the G10) priced at about £180 so I hoped the G5 would come down significantly but sadly not, they were still retailing for about £145 / £155, so I set about getting one from e-bay, where generally they retail at between £80 and £95 - much more reasonable. The 460cc titanium head is best described as round with a deep face (as opposed to the more elongated profile and shallower face of some newer drivers) and finshed in black with a white half moon (including a small black line in the middle) to assist...
