  Decent driver, but still outperformed by the G20 and R11 series. You're at level 88. Get the R11 and move on. Objectively speaking

  L75 one looks good, But I'd suggest waiting until L81 (not that much difference, if you at least play 1 hole a day) and get the L81 G20 driver, MUCH better club for less money.

  Edit: Lol, I just saw I misread your level, I thought you were L68. Now I see you're L88 and have the R11 driver in your bag. Best to leave that Nike alone then.

  Love mine. Bought it the day it came out. Very slow meter, your choice of lofts 8.5, 10.5 or 12.5. Lose a little distance but with a better quality ball your golden.

  I would have to go with the R11S over any other driver that I have seen on WGT.  If you are at a level fairly close to the required level, I would wait.  I'm not sure right off the top of my head but I think the R11 is at level 88 and the S version comes in at 94.  Takes a while to progress from 88 to 94 but if you can be patient the S version is worth waiting for.

  The driver that the OP mentioned seems pretty good but I have noticed that it does seem to fall short of the R11 series in my play with owners of the club.

  Your equipment shows you have the level 88 R11.  You have no need to be concerned with the Nike Covert driver as it doesn't perform at the level of your current driver.

  Yeah I can't see why anyone who can get the R11 or the R11s would fool with the Nike driver.

  can you do us a small favor?  save a replay of a drive?  any drive will do.  we've been searching for a replay so we can hear what it sounds like off the tee.  many reports it doesn't sound quite right.

  if you wouldn't mind :)

   

  thanks,

  Funny you say that since everyone I play points out that they dont like the sound of it.  I could careless what it sounds like as long as it goes straight I am good. LOL.

  I have both drivers.  I use my Nike on the courses where the fairways are tighter, mostly Bethpage, Congressional, Olympic, Oakmont etc..  The R11 I use on St. Andrews, Kiawah, Best of Front and Back, etc.
