Yeah...I know we said we weren't going to do this...but rules are meant to be broken...especially when they're your own rules. To that end, the Ultimate Driver Test, just got ULTIMATE-IER.

1: That custom is purdy

 

2: Despite my complaining about the looks, I'd be disappointed if the RBZ wasn't included. For all my raving about the Covert Tour, I think on pure performance the RBZ S2 Tour is right there with it.

I laught at your claims to fight a zombie apocalypse when most of you can't stand up to a Spider

Great work T. Stoked to see the Cleveland drivers added to the list (damn sexy), will be very interesting to see how it stacks up to my current driver which is also featured.

 

Three spots to fill, can't wait for the testing to start!

Just an update...there are 3 spots left on the board. I'm reasonably confident (let's call it 90%) that at least two of them will be filled as expected.

We actually had the original hammer in the shop at Tark's. I can hit it almost as far as my 4-iron. I tried yelling "POW!", but did not experience distance gains as a result.

Cleveland Classic XL Custom (standard XL in 12°)

If beauty is truly only skin deep, the Cleveland has great skin. Glad it's part of the shindig..Can't wait to see how they all shake out..

It is confirmed. This is the greatest driver head-to-head that the golfing world has ever seen. Ever. ...and I don't mind letting you in on a little secret...I'm getting a little excited :D

It's true, I can hear him yelling about it from across the ditch in OZ! :P

 

I have to agree though, this is the most epic group test I have ever seen attempted...

Cleveland sent the XL 12* and a Custom at 9*?

 

Nice. Loved the look of the original classic better, but the CG Black outperformed that one. Wonder if version this will bring together the best of both last years models?

The new classic is looking good. Strange how the black crown kinda stands out in this crowd of new drivers.
