Answer 1

maybe is  not genuine product. or shaft problem.

check with the club fitter they will know

Answer 2

My question about this is "Why would you fix something that isn't broken?"  285 yds off the Tee is better than 75-80% of the average golfer--believe it or not, the average is anywhere between 16-22 hdcp.  

Also, what club in your bag do you use the most during a round of golf?  That would be the putter.  The average golfer does not understand the importance of this club.  One with which will help obtain lower scores far more than a driver.

Yet, they will spend $1,000's on a new set of clubs, or $300-$400-$500 on a new driver, but REFUSE to pay $150 for a putter that is in all honestly, the most important club in the bag!

Also, you probably weren't "fitted"for the driver according to your swing.  Go back to your old clubs, maybe get a new putter, if that part of you game suffering, or re-grip and re-shaft what you already have.  Remember, "drive for show, putt for dough."

Answer 3

It is amazing the distance Yahoo answerer's get from their equipment and they are not even professionals. So many profess to be longer than Tiger Woods consistently. Then we have those who always hit the ball 285  yards or better. I finished marshaling a USGA qualifying event for the US Amateur this past Tuesday. The qualifiers ( 3 ) hit the ball from 265 to 285 and these are the better amateurs. I feel that much of the narrative is just that.

Answer 4

bad driver dude take it back quick. a buddy of mine bought a taylormade off ebay and had the same problem. he took it to our local club they sent it in for him and come to find out it was a fake and since it was off ebay he was out 200.00 so if i were you get it checked out asap.

Answer 5

Sounds like an extremely poor quality knockoff. Go get your money back for it.

Answer 6

Reading everything you have written, you have either a fake/knockoff driver or it is somehow bad.  Take it back or return it.  

No legitimate driver will only fly 50 yards hit in the middle of the face unless BAD
