I play a couple of component heads and shafts that just don't quite get
it done for me. I'm thinking of picking up either a Sasquatch or a
HiBore. Who's played these, and what's the opinion on them.
You may now return to your normal political banter.

I think so. I have a 9 deg and I feel like I hit it pretty high
compared to other players. Scott Newell has one too. You might ping
him and see what he things.
One thing -- they are HUGE. The face is just so big on the darn
thing.

Next time I'm in that cabbage I'm makin a salad! My friend who was the
assistant pro at the course that we played with Lowell and his son is
now the head pro. We'll have to give it a go again when I come back in
the Spring.

You have a very powerful swing, and IMHO anyways, you tend to overpower
the driver. 99%+ of golfers will never hit their driver as far as you
hit your 3W, which I have seen you hit very well...of course you only
hit a 3W about 250 or so!
With the distance you get with a well struck shot, the increased
requirement for accuracy gets you into trouble a lot. Several times you
and I have hit a ball on the same line, and I have been ok 80 yards
behind your drive that winds up in the cabbage!
I don't know if the club itself will make a lot of difference, maybe a
heavy shaft and a smaller head?
Nike is, as we all know, a ruthless imperialist exploiter of the
working people in 3rd world socialist countries. That could either
inspire you to buy their products or not! ;^)

while I haven't owned either of those drivers I've hit both of them at
demo days. Lots of different loft and shaft combos with both drivers.
Didn't like either one of them although the HiBore was the better of the
two IMO. Speaking of components, I like my KZG Gemini 10.5*. When I'm
swinging well it's the longest driver I've ever hit. Drivers are like
women...there's one for everyone, but the one for you may not be the one
for me. Ya just gotta try them all til you find the one you like :)

I had been using a Sasquatch for 9 months or so before I got a new
callaway set (which comes with the BB 454ti) I found I hit straighter
with it then anything else I demoed and the length was comparable to
the longer ones. I dare say you hit longer then me but I have driven a
few of the shorter (250meters) with the sasquatch.

I wonder how different the new square head Sasquatch will be.

I'm trying. Flights to DFW from Cincy are about $375. I just need
the women to have plans for the weekend. A girl scout camping trip
would be perfect.......
I have to say you did absolutely hammer this driver. It would be
interesting to take it to the course and compare it to your R7. You
have an R7 right?

In recent weeks, I've played with two different people who were hitting the
Nike Sasquatch driver. I really liked the looks of it, and both players
using it -- neither of whom would ever be confused with Tiger Woods --
seemed to hit it pretty well. I really liked the sound of it.
Both offered to let me hit theirs, but since the shaft flex was so off for
my swing speed (they were both hitting X), I didn't bother.
Personally, I've been very satisfied with the Callaway Fusion driver I
recently purchased.

The rest of the clubs in my bag would puke if I put that fugly thing in
there! Regular Sasquatch will be as weird looking as I will go.
