My New Gamer!

Warning! Long review. First off, I started playing golf on a serious level from 2002-2008. Got down to a 7.5 handicap. TM Superquad 7 TP with a Graffaloy Epic stiff shaft was my Big Dog. I had a natural draw. My first year of driving was 267 carry with 297 roll out. Wanted more fairways so I slowed down my swing and started keeping it in the fairways more often, 237 carry with 267 roll out. I stopped playing in 2008. I took 24 years off and then came back in 2024. Years back I had my swing checked for at a fitting session for a custom set. Casual driver speed was 99 with a stomp on it speed of 104. That was in 2005 when I was 41 yo. In 2025 I came back. Started hitting 500 balls per week for 4 months (2 hybrid - lob wedge), no woods. My draw flight was still there until I hit my driver, fade fade fade! Although I knew better, I went through several different drivers and shafts, knowing I should of had my swing anaylized. Nevertheless, I purchased a Callaway Elyte Triple Diamond Max. I took out the stock shaft and tried a couple different Callaway Tipped shafts. The contact sounded muted and it still faded like most of my other drivers (I do know it's mostly my swing plain). So I moved onto some of my other drivers and shafts. Fast forward to a couple of weeks ago, I was going to sell this driver with some others. I putt the stock shaft back in (Tensei 1k Black Stiff,). I thought, why not? So, I regripped it and decided to try it one more time. HOLY CRAP! I must have lucked out. Again, it's been 20 years since a fitting and I've just been experimenting with heads and shafts but I must have gotten lucky. My loft is 10.5, adapter at neutral and draw. My flight is medium plus and my draw is back! My carry has improved by 28-30 and my roll out is 252. That's compared to 215 carry and 230 roll out Fade. I'm ok with a 250+ Driver average at 61 years of age. I'm not breaking record distances but out of the last 40 swings/holes using the driver, I've missed the fairway 1 time. It still has a more of a muted sound and you sometimes you think you missed the sweet spot then you get to your ball and think, "Geez! I must have hit it better than I thought I did." My misses (on the club face) are normally just above center to slightly high toe side. If I do that with this driver/shaft, there's almost no difference in flight or overall distance. Today, I barely hit one on the toe side and it still had a draw flight and went 242. That's extreme forgiveness! I know I've hit a couple around 282-385. I believe I can get my average back up to 260-270 in time. It's a nice driver/shaft combo for me.

Great Fitting, Driver, And Price

I bought this on Callaway Preowned after a Callaway fitting. It was brand new still in the wrapper. it's nice to have a driver that is back to my old specs after 3 long years with a Taylormade Stealth and Qi10 "lofted up". I've had 8+ Callaway fittings and they always put me in the best spot. 9 degree dialed down to 8. Now with a lighter regular shaft. I love this driver

Excellent driver, great feel, easy to hit, I definitely picked up 10 yards off the tee.

Boomtastic

Very happy with this purchase. More bang for less bucks

Nice Driver; Condition So-so

This is a nice driver, but the condition was not quite as good as what I generally expect from Callaway Golf Preowned, and it came with the wrong headcover (a mini driver headcover that doesn't fit the clubhead). The grip was also in poor shape and was installed crooked and it had to be changed.
