Replaced my 12 year old Cobra SS427 driver with this one! Great price and AWESOME performance. Recently hit two buckets of balls with the Calloway Alpha 815 Driver and am totally pleased with my purchase! I have added 25 yards to my drives using the standard settings............want to adjust and see what effects that has!! Just played my first round with my new weapon!! Using standard settings, I consistently hit the ball straight or with a slight draw!! Averaged 25 yards longer than with my old SS 427 and in the fairway!!! EXCELLENT DRIVER !!!!!!

This driver has the solid feel of the persimmon woods of old, but the results of the new technology. Penetrating flight and low spin. It hit's and rolls 10 to 30 yards farther than my 8.5 loft Aldila shaft Ben Hogan (new technology) driver. However, I can still work the ball left and right, so it is very workable. Not as forgiving as the most forgiving drivers on the market. So, you have to have the ability to hit somewhere near the sweet spot.

Remember when you hit an aluminum bat on the sweet spot, that's what this driver feels like. Ball still goes little higher than I want, you will want to mess around with the loft settings. Lots of roll, mis-hits are not as bad as reviews say. Don't need to tee your ball reall, just need to make good swing. It's a beast for sure when you find the sweet spot

Went from Optifit to the BB815 DD and gained 15-20yds, but I'm in the middle of 9/10 fairways! Easy to draw but the drastic slice is nonexistent ! Swing speed isn't as critical as hitting the GIANT SWEET SPOT nice and easy! Put an EXTRA STIFF V2 shaft on it and it's NOT coming out of my bag!

This is a very accurate piece of equipment but you need some serious swing speed to get the best results. Older players like myself don't have the speed in their swing to get the maximum benefit. However, if its accuracy you want it would be hard to find a driver that is more accurate.
