I am a begining golfer, so I wasnt sure about the flex. I talked with a friend of mine that I golf with and he said that at $73 for the driver (what a deal) that I could replace the shaft and still be money ahead. After I recieved the driver, I took it to the driving range and MAN was I PUMPED!! First ball off of the tee went about 275 yds straight as an arrow. I was getting about 250 max out of my old driver with a pretty bad slice. 2 buckets of range balls later, I was very satisfied. I was looking for a nice driver but didnt want to spend alot of $$ on a nice driver just to end up messing it up. At the price that I got this one, I thought I would try it. I really figured that a Callaway Big Bertha for that cheap was going to be pretty rough to say the least. When I got it, it looked brand new! I would highly suggest this driver to anyone who wants to add yards and direction to their drives.
