Clubmakers' Choice The ballots are in for the winners of the 3rd annual Clubmakers' Choice awards. I pick the winners based on a number of criteria. I've tried all of the products listed at both the driving range and at the golf course and I'm confident of the quality and high performance nature of any of the shafts/heads listed below. I keep track at the various discussion groups, including Shoptalk and the Golf Equipment Aficionados and also jot down feedback from my customers. These are the products that get consistently high marks and truly deserve the designation of "Clubmakers' Choice". A The KZG RBT 325/360/400 Series with the MFS65n "Orange Crush" is my pick for "driver of the year". The KZG RBT clubheads are at the maximum allowable COR for distance, have great "feel" and feedback (doesn't sound like a cannon when you hit the ball) and are available in 3 popular size options and in a variety of lofts. The MFS65n "Orange Crush" shaft is simply the finest shaft you can buy at any price IMOHO. I carry extra drivers for my golfing partners to try with a variety of shaft options and they all choose "Big O". Control, distance, "kick" and feel, combined with the solid RBT titanium driver, make this an easy choice for "Driver of the Year" for 2003. Tell me more...
