  I have to say this is the most pathetic driver on this game.  i had the joy of getting it from the pro shop and i'm constantly living in the fescue, weeds, and water hazards.  The fact that there is no driver between levels 88-94 is complete garbage.  This two year old washed up piece of junk is worthless and i wouldn't give it to my worst enemy.  Just saying lol.

  when you miss-hit it , it WILL brutally punish you for it,
  specially if it's toward the wind.

  BUT! when you hit a good 1, it will serve you well.
  hard driver to handle no doubt, on the other hand,
  it "forces" you to become better at dinging, so there's also that...

  Have one as well, and yes brutal............I still begrudgingly recommend it though in the only pro shop in town, so utterly bereft of idea's this level!

  Oh woe not to have stumbled across the game earlier when the then incumbent pro was stocking a sensible R11S sensibly at L90 LOL

  LMAO - I am still fuming the fact I was level 89 and three weeks away before the R11s was available - only to be extended for months and months and.........grrr.

  So what did I do, upgraded the G20 to the R11 - makes perfect business sense but poor customer satisfaction.

  The R11 isn't that bad, certainly a faster meter and not very forgiving so that missed ding can lead to problems, but IMO is a better option than the G20 - most of the time.

  The driver is uncontrollable if you put Top Spin on the shot and miss the ding. I find you get alot better control when you use a Tad of Back Spin and hit it about 95% instead of full power. You dont lose but maybe 3 to 4 yds of distance but I combat that by using the high distance Nike Balls.
