Love this Classic Driver

By Mountainlion from Colorado Springs, CO on 03/20/2012

Pros:	Feel, sound, distance
Cons:	Grip Not ribbed, I'll change it out
Recommended:	Yes

I love this driver. The feel of this driver is soft like the old persimmon drivers I used to use. The sound is great, no high pitch pinging noise. Trajectory is boring and somewhat lower so error on the higher loft when selecting. I'm a single digit hcp. and went with the 10.5, the 9.0 would be way too low of a trajectory for me. I used the 2009 Cleveland Launcher in 10.5 previously, this is similar in trajectory but the Classic is way more consistent, has a way better sound and much better feel. I played my first round on a windy day, my drives were boring through the wind as if it wasn't there, so the ball was coming off with low spin. The stock C-Kua 43 shaft in stiff is great, doesn't feel like a board and has a really nice feel. Doesn't feel too light either since the swingweight is around D4. I was ripping off drives with a nice draw again. I had lost that consistent shop shape with the 2009 Cleveland Launcher driver. I'm at one with this driver!!!! I also tried the R11s before purchasing this driver, there is no comparison, Cleveland Golf got it right with this Classic combination that provides tremendous distance with forgiveness.
