Manufacturer's Description Details: Second generation square driver. We took golf equipment's hottest technology and improved on what customers were already telling us was a great driver. The 2008 version has a higher MOI, comes in draw and neutral configurations and is equipped with a VFT cup face for higher ball velocity and more distance. The neutral model includes an internal weight chip that is placed to the rear and center. This is to lower the center of gravity and create higher launch conditions. The draw model incorporates the weight chip into the heel area which creates a right to left ball flight. Ideal for golfer who struggle with a slice but do not want to mess with removable weights.
Our Review: While it's looks may no be for everyone it seems the square head will stick around for Titanium drivers. The GX Squared Ti Driver is modelled after the Callaway FT-i which has been very successful. The square shape design increases both horizontal and vertical stability which in turn results in a very high Moment of Inertia (MOI, reduced 'twisting' at impact), thus assuring a long and accurate shot.
In a nutshell, the higher the MOI of a club, the more forgiving the club will be on miss-hits. As an example, let's say you hit the ball on the toe of your driver. A higher-MOI driver will twist less at impact and the ball will still end up reasonably close to the intended target compared to a similar miss-hit off a lower-MOI club (= which would twist more).
This popular driver is now also available in a draw version which will benefit golfers that are battling a slice. A small discretionary weight chip helps to close the club face upon impact with the ball, thereby inducing a draw. This can add distance and will also help reduce a slice.
If you don't mind the shape of the club head this is an excellent club in case you are plagued by regular miss-hits.
Likes:The GX Squared Ti Driver is a good choice for a beginning player, or any player who would benefit from an increased MOI. Great value for money!
Dislikes: Not avaiable in LH
