I would recommend this driver for everyone, except the group I play with. LOL
I'm fairly new to golf, just a couple of years, so I've been using hand me down equipment. I once borrowed my cousins clubs to play and fell in love with the Callaway brand. He had the Callaway Epic driver and I could immediately tell the difference in distance, loft, and how straight my drives were. I told him "Man, I have to get me one of these." He told me to wait while because he heard that Callaway was coming out with something even better. "The Rouge". This was my FIRST golf purchase and as soon as I played with it I could once again tell the immediate improvement on my drives. One of my friends noticed that I was starting to out drive him by 20-25 yards easy. I can truly say that it also gave me lots of confidence in the rest of my game.
