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....

Advantages: Hits the ball a long way with a high degree of accuracy Disadvantages: Quite expensive (But not the dearest on the market!)

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...
