Tired of brand name clubs at top dollar |

Let me start by saying the I've hit several different Versions of PING & Taylor Made Drivers fitted with Graphite shafts. Unfortunately, I've always felt that modern drivers were far too light for me and have never found any consistency with the drivers I've owned. I seriously considered ordering a Custom Driver with a steel shaft to get back to the heavier feel I was looking for. (Note: Steel shafts are typically around 120 grams as compared to standard graphite shafts at 65 grams) I found this site and was immediately drawn to the Juggernaut Driver. and with much diliberation, I ordered the Juggernaut with the Aldila VS Proto 80 (grams) stiff and a Lampkin Utx grip. I'm about 5'8" and had them cut it -1/2" shorter. It roughly took 2 weeks to get the club, but it was worth the wait. It felt great in my hands and felt good to swing, and I could not wait to get out and hit it. I had the chance to hit it 2 rounds before writing this review, and I found this club feels solid at contact, launches the ball at a good angle, and has great distance. During the 2nd round I only missed 1 fairway (that I used Driver) through the first 14 holes. On the 14th hole I smashed a drive down the middle of the fairway, but the club sounded a bit different. While walking off the tee I noticed the shaft had fractured about 2" above the ferrule. I bagged the club and hit 3-Wood the remainder of the round. I did not ground the club or anything like that... so I'm wondering if the shaft had a micro-fracture in it before assembly. Either way I had it re-shafted locally because I did not want to wait 2-3 weeks to get it back. Everything is back to normal now and I'm hitting it long and straight again.
