Advantages: looks good at address, large sweet spot Disadvantages: new larger and more advanced cluds available
...Although surpassed by bigger, and more complex drivers this one can be picked up as a bargain in some places. It does not have any moveable weights or excitments of that sort but it does have a very forgiving nature and launches the ball on a good trajectory. I have the 10.5 degree version and found it much easier to hit than the Callaway driver I had before The club head looks good at address, a classic look compared to some of today's monsters and the sound when you hit it is clean and loud but not a real noise. No doubt there are bigger more advanced clubs out there now but this is a quality, no nonsense product and represents good value for the discount prices now available....

...The 975D is the sort of driver that everyone should have as it makes the most impressive sound on impact of any driver I have ever heard. Apart from that though, how does it fair against other Drivers on the market - such as the Callaway ERCII or the Taylor Made 300 series? Actually it does remarkably well. I use the 8 degree Driver and find that the ball flight is very good and am now hitting the ball straighter than I ever had. The distance off the tee is very useful and also the ability to shape shots is good as it can sometimes be hard to do this with a driver but easy with this club. I work in a pro shop so know a lot about this sort of thing - take my word for it this is a great club (bit pricy though!)...

Advantages: Very long hitting club.Powerful penetrating ball flight.983E Disadvantages: 983E not as forgiving as 983K
...My handicap is 7 and I play on a seaside course in Devon England, I say this to give you a baseline for comparison reasons.
As soon as I saw the 983 Series I knew I had to have one. These are such good looking clubs.
Tried 983K and 983 E eventually settled on 983E with 9.5 loft Grafalloy stiff shaft.
983E
First time on course I was absolutely stunned by this club. Amazing ball flight and markedly longer than my previous driver a Titleist 975J. Perhaps by an average of 15 yards.
The ball flight is a low rainbow shape. The club sets up to the ball very easily but does require a high tee peg. I find that setting the ball up further forward i.e almost off your toe increases length and promotes accuracy.
I was sceptical of the Graffalloy shaft as I am not a fan of light shafts. This doubt was eventually proven correct, (I...
