Just tried this out at a local demo day (10 degree neutral, stock reg flex). I must have hit at least 2 dozen balls with it. To compare and contrast I tried the new FT-iQ as well my own drivers (2008 Taylormade tour burner stock shaft) and (2007 burner - V2 shaft) (both 9.5 degree).
Although I get good results with the Taylormade drivers when I put a good swing on it, the not so good swings pays a penalty in distance. Plus there isn't a lot of roll, even with a mid trajectory ball flight.
As for the Diablo, the dispersion was minimal and the results for a good effortless swing was fantastic. It always felt like the head was there when I was. The sound off the face was pleasant and gave me feedback on off center hits. The FT-iQ (square head) gave me similar results as the Diablo but cost an extra $100. I figured I could use the $100 on something else!
Did the same comparison test with my 2008 burner 3 wood (stock shaft) to the Diablo 3 wood. Had to give the nod to the Diablo for consistency and distance. BTW the demo club looked like it had received more wear then my own club.
So what did I do? With the buy a driver and get a fairway metal for a buck coupled with the trade in value on the taylormade, I'm playing Diablos going forward.
