MacGregor V-Foil Eye-O-Matic 380cc Driver

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.... Read review

Advantages: Very long and very easy to use
Disadvantages: Price

.... The R&A have not restrictions on COR of clubs. This will be reviewd in 2007! So, unless you play in the States, go for the +Plus version - longer drives! The club fills you with confidence at address as it is very large (380cc, the previous GBB was just 250cc!). It is also very, very forgiving and very, very long. I put at least 12-15 yards on my tee shots with this club. Plus, with the matching headcover, it looks the part in the bag and certainly sounds the business when you hit it. This is a classic club that will provide you with the best driver for years to come. I paid £299 for mine from Nevada Bob's Golf - they price-matched American Golf Discount. You can get it as low as £285 if you really shop around (e.g. Greg Nicholson Golf, Manchester). Alternatively, you can try the US ebay site as you can pick them up for around $320... Read review

Advantages: Trusted brand, forgiving
Disadvantages: Heavy, akward to keep clean

...I bought these to replace my Great White which use to be my Dad's. I wanted a good solid club that I could keep for few years and that would improve my game but not so much that was relying on the clubs and not my own technique. I had seen these in my local pro shop and I liked the way they looked as they are oversized and that gives me confidence. Other clubs that I was interested in were the Taylor Made RAC and MacGregor. The major deciding factor in my choosing of the Nike were the price, they were a lot cheaper then the Taylor Mades and looked more durable than the MacGregor. I was able to try out a 6 iron at my local range and instantly the difference was obvious. Maybe it's to do with the advances in club technology but they just gave a sweeter shot than my Great White's did. I was able to get the ball up higher straight away... Read review
