PGX Offset Golf Driver

I have been playing golf for 30+ years and over time I have owned a few $300-$400 drivers. I have always had to play a fade and the dreaded slice. I have watched many videos and tried driver adjustments to fix this problem but to no avail. I stumbled across this offset driver on Amazon and started reading the reviews. Most everyone raved about finding the fairway and the only negative was the shaft breaking.Well at this price and seeing how I am 65 years old and my swing speed is below 90, I decided to give it a try. Well at the range I was pleasantly surprised, the driver hit amazingly well and every ball was a pull left with a little draw or straight. I couldn’t wait to play a round and after 18 holes I missed two fairways to the right; my setup error.The next round, I hit every fairway and the distance was an average 10 to 15 yards longer. My golfing buddies teased me about playing with a dime store driver but on hole #17 all 3 wanted to hit with this cheap driver.Long story short, if this shaft breaks, I will replace it, or I may just order another driver just like it. At this price, I can’t go wrong.

To give you my background, I'm turning 50 next month, considerably athletic, and restarted golfing 3 months ago after 10 years of break. Previously, I was never serious about golf and I kept slicing with my old 9.5 deg stiff driver. This time I am serious about getting better at golf and practiced regularly with some good Youtube lessons and thought I would try out this to fix my slices. After 3-4 weeks of practices at the driving range with this driver, I was able to hit 240-260 yards straight shots consistently and my score dropped from 105 to low 90's instantly. After another 2-3 weeks I sort of figured out how to deliver my body power to the ball (lagging, throwing the driver at the right point, etc.) and it increased 30 yards easily and I was able to fly my balls 270-300 yards for about 10 straight balls then this poor thing gave up in its shaft near the head. I guess this driver is not for a power hitter. Overall, I enjoyed swinging this driver for the last 5 weeks, was able to fix my slices (with correction of my swing), drove over 90% in the fairways, broke 100 for the first time, and about to break 90 (my short games are not there yet). I switched to my old drive yesterday (without practice), and about 50% was not in the fairway (mostly straight pushes and one slice), Since I'm still struggling with my old driver I may try this driver out again and remember to swing easy. Also, unfortunately, about 2 weeks passed for one warranty.

Well its been 3 months since I bought it and I have been using it at least once a week. I must say that it really helped eliminate my slice. Now, due to the face being straight and with a bit of loft the ball never travels too far. By this I mean that I am being almost always out-driven by my mates for around 30 yards, but they can go all over the place and my ball is always in the center of the fairway. Due to this loft my ball goes always very high, reducing with this, my yardage, but I rather go a few yards shorter than playing like them off the woods because they go crooked.So far, I am really happy I invested so little money for such a nice club. My score has gone down from, and I am a bit embarrassed to say this, from the 100's to the 80's, just by using the PGX.Update from my round at Pala Resort on 4-5-17:As promised, I now have played 4 times with this driver. Well, here it goes.. it is the first time in my life that I DID NOT lose a single ball. I finished with the same ball I started on the 1st tee. I hit 17 fairways, right in the middle. Unbelievable!. I must confess that the only one not on the short grass was my mistake for I did not keep my rhythm throughout my swing. I wanted to hit that ball so far that I blew it, but it landed just close the right edge of the fairway. Not a single slice or draws. All of them were straight like an arrow, oh, and before I forget, I did not have a single shot under 240 yards of distance. Now, I must say that I have bad knees, bad back and I'm 57. Well, there you have it, I hope it helps you make a decision. Have a good day. So I am raising my review to 5 starsOK, I have this tendency to slice my drives, so after reading some of the reviews I decided it to buy it> I got it yesterday and today I played Pala Golf Resort. I left my regular 10.5 degree at home. Results? not a single slice. I was so impressed. I mean, I went 3 times out of 18 holes to the right on the fairway, but not a single ball was lost because of a slice, like going out of bounds or into the water. I just hope this thing lasts. Some people commented that it broke after a few rounds, so maybe they are very powerful hitters. I will update my review a bit more after I play more rounds. So far, I love it.. why not give 5 stars? well... it looks kind of cheap once you examine the painting of the logo and the bottom of the head.On the past I was fearful when I had to pull out the driver out of the bag. With this one I am so confident that I do not care if I have lakes on both sides of the fairway.

Here's the thing; this driver is $50. For such a low price, this driver slays. It sounds ok (not to tingy or loud), and it does help lessen a slice. In my opinion, though, it should only be used by a beginner who is trying to figure things out. It's very light, flexible, and an inch or two shorter than most. I used it for at least 20 rounds and it was great to use, however, I've just found a crack in the hosel. Because of this, I took my old driver that I had struggled with before for a round, and absolutely crushed it.Basically, it's not great, and it feels cheap (as it should) but it was good enough to help me have fun while i figured out my technique. Not a bad choice.
