In reply to Jerry Payne. Hey Jerry, Great question. I do think that for nearly every golfer a proper driver fitting at Club Champion (even as a higher handicap) would be the best thing for you. Having said that, in my estimation, a driver that's a year or two old would usually be a better idea than the Costco driver for most.

Thanks, Dan! — Couldn’t agree more. This is undoubtedly growing the game, I think something all of us can get behind… even if we don’t want to game the golf club ourselves! :)

Solid review Drew – the target audience is most definitely the casual golfer who is looking for economical buy-ins….As others note, the value conscious golfers can find some great driver deals in the used market…still love seeing how Costco is rocking the status quo…

For those looking for 2-3 year old clubs, Callaway Pre Owned has a number of sales during the year.

I think the review is missing the point of who the driver is really designed for. Super casual, or beginner golfers, who see value in a $200 driver and doesn’t really care, nor wants to wade into the used market. It’s the same strategy they’ve used for their putter and wedge sets (and irons too if you can find them). Also when you see the Callaway Edge sets being sold for a few hundred at the warehouses, it’s again geared to the casual golfer. Not the enthusiasts who hang out on sites like this.

In reply to Dan Shepherd. Maybe you're not their target golfer, not everyone swings a club at 100mph+.

I’m with Jerry Payne (above) as to whether a 2-3 year old major MFG driver is a better option. Consider a 3 year old Ping 410 from about $180+, Callaway Epic from about $145+, Taylormade Sim from about $140+ or Cobra from about $170+ AND all will feature adjustability. Or, look at Tour Edge, one of the better bargains in golf, where a very good used driver can be as low as $100! I also found a used PXG 0211 driver on ebay for about $130 including shipping. Those “old” drivers will do the same thing today as when they were new. I suspect the numbers will be at least equal to the Kirkland. Additionally, there is more “snob appeal” to a brand name over the Kirkland. Finally, and I don’t want to be a shill for PXG, but check out some of their online offerings. If you’re a “hero” there are some fantastic deals available. Full disclosure: I bought a PXG “Black Ops” based on the Plugged In review.
