I came on here to write a review of this head after playing with it today, but first I thought I'd glance at some other reviews to see what everyone else said, and I laughed when I read Christoper's review from 7/18/15 because it is almost VERBATIM what I was going to write! I too just finished my first full round with my Thriver. I had previously hit only hit maybe 20-30 balls with it at the range before, and occasionally on the course when it was a tight fairway or short hole. But today I decided to play the entire round with the Thriver because - like Christopher - my other driver has been misbehaving quite a bit lately. I can poke a drive 280-300 yards on a good hit, but I'm usually only good for around 40-50% fairways hit. Well today, guess what? I hit every single fairway except one!! Not only did I hit almost all the fairways, but nearly every shot was DEAD STRAIGHT UP THE MIDDLE and about 250-260 yards. And the one fairway I missed was only a few yards into the rough. Plus, there was about a 20-30mph wind which would push everyone's drives all over the place if they had even the slightest fade or draw on them. But I didn't have a problem, because every single one of my drives was perfectly straight right where I was aiming. I was afraid the Thriver wouldn't be as long as I needed it to be, but I was keeping up with (and sometimes outdriving) all the other guys in my group who were playing regular drivers. Hell, it almost got boring by the end of the round just having everything go straight up the middle every time! :) I paired mine up with an SK FIber Tour Trac 90 shaft, stiff flex, 43.5" Length, and I can't say enough good things about that setup. If you have a fast swing and smooth tempo like me (mine is 105mph with driver, and about a 1.25 sec tempo) then I'd grab one of those shafts for $20 while they last! It is an insanely good shaft for the money. The radial CPM of those shafts is +/- 1 CPM in any direction, so they are very consistent and the quality control of SK Fiber is second to none. If you have heard of these Thrivers but just haven't pulled the trigger on one yet, or if you haven't heard of them and you're reading about them here for the first time, I wouldn't waste one more minute debating whether or not to buy one. JUST DO IT. As long as you get the right shaft for your swing, I can pretty much guarantee you will improve your scores by hitting a lot more fairways.
