Adams RPM 460 Ti Driver

I'll preface this by saying I am by no means an avid golfer - in fact, I'm only just now picking the sport up for the firs time in my life. That being said, I'm 24 years old and I have a lot of power behind my swing, so I wanted a big, solid driver that would allow me to be able to pound the ball a great distance.
I've used a few other 460 drivers, from Callaway Big Berthas to the Nike Sumos to $40 knockoffs from Dick's Sporting Goods, and I have to say - this club falls into the top range of the ones I've used.
A few of the pros that I've noticed:
- First and foremost, on clean, power hits I've gained an additional 30-50 yards over the knockoff Sumo 460 I was using. This is substantial, in my opinion.
- Forgiveness. I bought the 8 degree lofted version of this club, and was a bit hesitant when I saw that the lower numbers generally offered less forgiveness. . but that doesn't appear to be the case with this club: even on off-center hits, the ball seems to go pretty straight.
- Shaft appearance. I didn't realize until I got the club that the shaft is a really cool burnished copper color. It, unfortunately, doesn't match anything else in my bag. . but it really looks cool, and I haven't seen anything else like that in anyone else's bag.
Cons:
- Grips. . not a big fan of the wrapped diagonally spliced grips, where my fingers seem to get sucked into the grooves. I'm getting used to it, but everyone who's tried it has mentioned that.
- Head appearance. Not a big deal, but this club won't 'wow' your friends as far as head appearance is concerned (unlike the Nike's which just look cool. . ). This should never matter in golf, and is of little concern.
Overall I'm quite pleased with my Adams 460 Ti, and would reccomend it to anyone looking to get a nice solid big 'ol driver.
