MacGregor MacTec Driver Golf Club

Okay, I saw this at my local Golf outlet, and I thought it had a "ping" look to it. The model I tried out was the 9.5 driver, but I have been told it also comes in 8.5, 10.5 and 11.5 I took out the 9.5 model on the golf course, and I was very very impressed. Its definately one of the easiest drivers I've ever used. The distance is probably not the furthest I've ever hit, but the ease of hitting was what astounded me. Its kind of thick looking, but it is one of the most forgiving drivers I've ever used. I hadn't really tried Macgregor clubs up until stumbling across this one.

I don't know much about the lofts as my understanding is that its a fairly new model, but I tried it in March 2006 and the club was so easy, I found I could almost close my eyes and feel confident of hitting 180-220 yards with no worries at all.

The shaft that it comes with is simply brilliant, it feels so consistent and thorough that it doesn't drag you down, but seems to make your swing feel "kind of stronger", its hard to describe. If you can try this one out before buying, definately do it. The club hits flush shots nearly every 2nd time. Its workability wasn't the best, but its straight accuracy is what is so good about this one. This is definately going to be a great club for average golfers. Hopefully the marketing for it will be well funded, because it would be a great club for a lot of golfers out there who have trouble with their inconsistent swing. I'm not saying its a solution to a bad swing, but if you're learning to drive, you're better off with 4 wheels than 2.

I found it quite easy to hit long straight shots, and it has such a strong feel to it that it promotes a lot of confidence at rest before the shot. When this club comes down in price I am definately going to buy one because on a tight fairway course with water its definately the driver you want.

I hope this review is helpful.
