I'm left handed and presently hit a Callaway X460 driver. I like it, and drive the ball an average of 270 yrds. But I have a fade that sometimes turns into a slice. I was wondering if there is a way of trying an Alpha C830.2 to tell if it hits better for me than my Callaway.

Thanks for the update, I've been going back and fo...

Thanks for the update, I've been going back and forth between my TM 510TP and my Titleist 975LFE and not 100% with either.
When I'm on I'm on but OFF is OFF.

I've taken a lesson to repair some set up issues that surfaced after a car accident and injury to my back.
I've read so much about the how much the 460CC helps that I am tempted to look again at a larger driver.

I have a hard time looking down at 460CC but Your comments about the visual size of the ALPHA intrigued me.

Anonymous,

Thanks for asking. The Alpha is still in my bag as my gamer. I really like the deep face because I feel that I can really tee up the ball and whack it.

I've read that no one has caved-in or cracked the C830.2 in a long-drive competition. While I'm nowhere near as long as a long-driver, it's nice to know that this driver is so sturdy. I have a friend who has had problems breaking drivers, so the C830.2 would be ideal for him. Are you reading this Todd?

I've got a Cobra 427cc SS driver, but have been looking at another LDA favorite, SMT. They've won a few LDA competitions, but, as always, the trick is finding the right shaft, and that's hard to do through the mail. I just interviewed with KZ Golf in North Hollywood. They're sort of a boutique manufacturer who only sell their clubs through fitters. I didn't take the job because I am not a salesguy, but I was stunned by their in-house fitting studio--very nice.

That's quite surprising from the top down how they look pretty much the same size. Either way, I'm a big believer in quality over "marketing" too. If something is going to help my game, I'm going to use it.

I have been using an Alph 425 cc
V-2 for several years. It is straighter than any of my Titleists, TMs, Mizonos,and Callaways, and L-O-N-G.

Great post. I'm glad there are other golfers out there who realize its ok to buy clubs that aren't made by the "big" companies.

Quality counts, but I'd rather be paying purely for quality rather than marketing.
