Soooo long 450cc driver
I have tried many oversize drivers in the 10 years since i have bought clubs. They were all crap. I must have not bought a new driver for 'Sooo Long' because I was waiting for you to sell me this one .I blame you entirely for the industrial deafness I now suffer after every tee shot, caused when this driver makes contact with my defenseless golf ball. At least 3 drives per round 300m+.  Straight long and infuriating to my playing partners. I felt like a
cheat, but I was happy to take their money.

Thanks
Chris Persian.

Hi Tim, This is one hell of a driver. Took it to the driving range today, the day I got it in the post from you. Hit 100 drives and mostly drew the ball less than the other drivers that I have, unbelievable. Haven't measured them but I reckon they are longer than the current expensive drivers that I have. The 44" I-Drive regular shaft with the 12 degree loft suits me to the tee, pardon the pun. Another thing, I can force the swing and the shaft seems to obey it. Other regular shafts will lag behind when I force a swing and pushes the ball to the right. Not this shaft.
Excellent.

Tim,
I wanted to let you know, that the driver you flogged me is working very well. It took me a couple of holes to get used to the extra length, but then, as you said, it straightened out the pull hook and I really crunched some drives. I used at least two clubs less on three of the holes.
I'm very happy with it. Do you have an LH 3 wood? Thanks, David

Hi Mate,
I got your email address off a friend that bought one of these in a left hand 10.5, he is absolutely killing it, he's a bloody good salesman for your clubs. Do you still have them?
Rob.

hey tim i received your driver and it lives up to the name sooooooooo loooooooong constantlly driving 300 plus meters. drove one at
camden lakeside par 4 off the tiger tees 336 meters i put it on the back fringe of the green off the tee thanks im real happy.
Jason Beale

Hit some good shots with it yesterday in very cold windy weather. It certainly hits the ball a long way. The face is so bouncy it's almost like using a tennis racquet.

Tim, The sooo long driver is a godsend. I played off 13 2 weeks ago and have played 4 competition round with it. I have shot 76. 79 and 77, and dropped my handicap to 9 in 3 weeks! I previously used the callaway ERC II big bertha and the soo long outhits it by 10m- 20m!! The major advantage is that i can hit most fairways now !! The club with the orange mcs 70 shaft provides superior control . Thanks again, Tim Dr Kuliwaba ( Grange golf club, Adelaide SA )

The soolong is at least 30/40 metres longer and they're on the fairway for a change. Went to charity day in Albury on Friday and won the longest drive. The young fellows were amazed that an old crock was hitting 30 yards past them. Nola’s driver has added 20 to 30 metres to her drives as well.

I purchased a 10.5degree soo long driver through ebay item 3676288439 I picked it up this morning from the post office and raced to the course. I am only an average golfer off about 23. I can hit a fair drive up to 230-240 metres if I really get onto it. Today the first round I hit a drive that was 266 metres and only needed a 7 iron for the longest par 4 on the course totalling 417 meters. I usually hit 3 wood for my second and ocassionally a 3 iron. Even my mishits raced further up the fairway than ever before. The 'trampoline' effect is noticable and the feel soft, my drives flight is noticably higher and the carry far longer. I love this club. I recommend this club to anybody. Scott

Tim, i have one word to describe the new integra 450. THUNDEROUS!!! I just can't beleve how good these things are. Already i have gained 30 meters on average with my drives, also i am hitting the ball alot straighter off the tee. This is one forgiving driver. Thank you very much for your help and your fast and efficient service Tim. Cheers,P.Mclean.

Spring effect and forgiveness with this driver

The head of this driver is made from SP700 titanium, which is an extremely high grade ultra light titanium. Because of the strength of the material, the whole face is extremely thin and so produces an enhanced rebound effect, comparative to other drivers, even with mis-hits. A unique aspect of the design of this driver is the internal bracing system, similar to the ribs of a ships hull. It provides support to the sides of the head and causes a much larger than normal transference of energy out through the face of the driver. A well hit drive with this club produces remarkable distance and carry. A mistimed drive goes a lot further and straighter than it otherwise would.

Spring effect is proportional to the swing speed. A golfer that already hits the ball 280 mtrs, will get more metres extra, than someone who hits it 180, but all golfers will gain plenty with this head and the right shaft.

Rebound testing

Banned in the US for excessive rebound. The USGA tests the speed that the ball rebounds off the face. They fire a ball into the face at approximately 120mph (160 feet per second). As 100mph of clubhead speed, produces an initial ball velocity of approx. 180 mph, this is not a high speed to test at and is equivalent to testing the rebound effect for slow swingers. If the rebound is over the limit (too fast) the club is deemed illegal for US competition use.
This driver is illegal for competition use of all levels, in the
U.S.
Clearly, the faster a ball is travelling at departure, the further it ends up going. No matter what name is on a driver, it will not hit as long as this one, if it is USGA conforming.

Legality

This club is legal for Australian competition golf and will remain so until at least 2008. It is also illegal for use in the World Long drive competition. Any driver that can be used in that competition, or on the US circuit, does not have nearly the spring face effect of this club.

Shafts

The shafts used are the Idrive from Integra and the new Electric Blue MCS 75
The ELECTRIC BLUE!

Makes a fantastic combination with the blue Soo Long 450 head. Ultra impressive to see and use.

·         New Color: ELECTRIC BLUE

·         Frequency matched

·         Material Improvements: High density carbon fiber.

·         Tight tolerances for extra consistency, means we know exactly what we are putting in every driver.

The MCS 75™ (Multi Control System) is the latest generation in tour shafts featuring flex technology designed specifically for today's "Oversized Drivers" - in a striking "Electric Blue " color.

The shaft has a mid bend point and is tip firm - offering accuracy, distance and superior control. Available in reg to extra stiff flexes.

Dynamic torsional tip stability provides incredible feel, remarkable consistency and more distance. It has a torque of 3.2 and can be used by golfers hitting up to 280 mtrs. Ultra long hitters can use our long drive x-flex shafts, please inquire.

Idrive Tour 3.5

The Idrive is 70 grams 3.5 at regular flex and has a cpm (stiffness, higher cpm is stronger), of 245-250. At stiff flex it has a torque of 3.2 and a cpm of 260-265. As a comparison, the far more expensive Aldila NV shaft at 65 grams has a torque of 3.5 at reg and stiff flex and cpm of 245 and 260 respectively. So you get very high levels of performance from this shaft.

There are many shafts that can be combined with this head, but we don’t believe in offering shafts simply because they cost more. The most important element of shaft selection is that it suits the individual. The three shafts offered can be supplied from ladies flex through to extra stiff and do a great job of catering for the vast majority of golfers.

SHAFT SELECTION.
As a general guide, people hitting up to 230-240 mtrs, should select the Idrive shaft. Golfers hitting 240-280mtrs, should use the blue shaft.
If you hit further than that, you may need to discuss the x-stiff shaft options.

This driver is as good as any available. The proof is in the sales patterns which have seen a repeat or referred sales ratio for this driver of 75%. That figure is for drivers sold this year only and is an amazingly high success rate for any item.

Manufacturing

Made by Integra one of the world's leading suppliers to the professional long drive market. Integra drivers have been used by World long drive winners (in 2000) and many finalists. They were the first company in golf to produce heads at 400cc, 450cc and now 650cc. They know more about the manufacturing of high end trampoline face drivers, than anyone. Their process is ISO 9002 certified. They have produced dozens of titanium driver models, including many exceeding USGA limits. The Soo Long 450 has the highest rebound.

Reviews

Tim, I got the driver on Friday. I took it out yesterday and the first drive was 300m. The ball absolutely rockets of the face!! I am keen to see exactly how long it can go once I start hitting the ball a bit better. Thankyou very much for the excellent service you provided to me. I look forward to buying more from you in the future. Do you have a catalogue you can send me?? Anyway, thanks again. Regards, Rob WARD.

Tim, The SoooLong 12* Driver is awesome. My good drives now go 20-30 yds longer than former good hits (max now @250, was @220). That extra 30 yards lets me go for a green with 2-3 clubs less - give me a 9 Iron in, over a 6 Iron in, any day. The 1" shorter, (old = 45 Sooo Long = 44), also results in good hits more often, I hit 2-3 more fairways a round now. I figure all this can average like 3-6 less strokes per round. Old guys, like me, who shoot between 88-102 need every foot we can get. 84-98 sounds like a much better range to me. Thank You, Fred Pood San Jose, CA

Hi Tim, I just wanted to let you know how impressed I am with the Integra Driver and Sniper putter that I purchased from you. Recently I have been going through a bit of a form slump and really struggling with my driver, however, the soolong driver has lifted my game immensely. I am hitting the ball further and with more control than I ever have. As for the putter, I have never been a fan of the 2 ball putter purely because I don't like the shape but after using the Sniper I am convinced that it definitely helps with alignment. The soft face gives me feel and the weight is perfect. I will be bombing them from all over the green. Thank you again for your professional, helpful service. I have already bragged to all my friends about the clubs and I've only had them a couple of days. I will be recommending your company and certainly your clubs to anyone who will listen!! Regards Jason

Tim, the 450 is great and the people that have used it reckon it puts on about 30m. Mate I'm playing my second shot from places I've never played from before. Kalev Kutt

************************************************************************************************ Tim that club that you sent is a genade launcher. This may sound a little far fenched but it has put about 20-25 metres on my drive....WOW. I am now driving to about 220 metres to the first bounce. I am very impressed. I will have to keep an eye out for any other goodies that you may be selling. Thanks again, Shane Simpson ************************************************************************************************

Hi Tim I just received the Integra Soo long 12* off from you @ Advanced golf 3 things struck me immediately these being 1. How quick I got it 2. How good it looked, you would swear it would cost hundreds more it looks that good. 3. It was custom fit to me in length and flex and put together extremely well On the Course My normal driver is a Mellow yellow 14* with rifle 65 in it took both clubs out just to see how it would to the Soo Long, I love the Mellow Yellow but it was a no contest if the mellow yellow had a ring man he would have thrown in the towel. The Soo long was 30-40 metres longer consistently. The deep face means it can come off the toe, heel, low or high on the face it does not matter it goes straight and no need to worry about the "better quality" shafts the I drive is a smooth stable shaft and in fact feels better then the Rifle. I play off 18 and the extra distance helps for sure I average 240mtrs with the Mellow Yellow and fist impressions of the soo long are good as I said earlier. Further to this a mate who plays off 7 who regularly gets 280-300 off the tee with his $900 983 hit the soo long 30 past it his words were %$^%$ that thing goes hard!!!! So anyway Thanks Tim I am one happy golfer Kevin ************************************************************************************************

The clubs arrived Friday and they look & feel great. Apart from the lounge room, I haven't used the putter yet, but I took the driver out to the driving range today for a tonk and it was phenomenal. It simply launches the ball! My big fear is that while I hit the ball much longer with the 450cc, when I actually hit the course for real, those drives which drift off course will now head to a new postcode in the land of "out of bounds". Well worth the "risk' though. Upgrades are great!!! M.Titheradge

************************************************************************************************

Just a bit of feed back on the 'SooLong" driver. It performed exactly as you predicted, and I did gain 10 to 12 metres on the GBB Ti, however the pleasing aspect was the consistency of the drives, and the accuracy obtained, the 12 degrees certainly helped, it's a shame the rest of my game was so lousy, if you happen upon any irons with heads that big, and forgiving, give me a call. Thanks again, Regards Barry Allan ************************************************************************************************

Tim, The club’s a ripper!! Not to use the usual exaggeration of the golfer, but I have measured (and have a witness) one drive at 325 metres. It’s good!!
