Maximum “spring” effect on the driver face is best achieved with a forged Titanium surface. The material is light and strong and therefore we can make a face that is very thin and very resilient. The goal in the X-10 design is to increase the area on the face that has more rebound. Most forged Titanium faces are welded to the body of the metalwood around the edges of the face. That welding location creates a hard ring around the outer edges of the face which is not helpful in expanding the spring effect. The solution in the X-10 design is to move the weld location back .7 inches onto the top, side, and sole surfaces. That allows the corners of the face to maintain their resilience. The design increases the area on the face that has maximum rebound. The result is that more of the X-10 face can deliver the maximum distance. You do not have to hit this club dead-center to get better results off the tee.
From the long
drive contest to the low score contest
We have made a version of the
X-10 driver specifically for long drive contests. These drivers
feature 2 inches of extra shaft length, a lighter head weight
(185 grams) and an Aldila Prototype VS carbon nanotube graphite
shaft. At higher swing speeds, the faster recovery time this
shaft design gives becomes an important factor in performance. We
now have a standard length version of this club designed for the
best combination of distance and control. These standard length
club features the Aldila Prototype VS shaft and a 200 gram
head weight. If your driver swing speed is over 90 MPH, this
is the driver that will give you the best combination of distance
and control off the tee.
Face Material: "Wraparound" Titanium Head weight : 185 to 200 grams Standard Lie : 56 degrees
