Golfsmith Harvey Penick Titanium Review:

Accuracy

Less-Avg-More
 
This club was fairly accurate. Shots hit off center would be penalized on distance. Center hits produced consistent results.
Distance

Short-Avg-Long
 
This club does not produce much distance, primarily attributable to the loft. 10.5 degree loft is currently only loft available.
Trajectory

Low-Avg-High
 
This club produces a high ball flight, and at times, a "ballooning" effect.
Feel

Less-Avg-More
 

This club was on the light side. Not much feel produced by the clubhead.

Forgiveness

Less-Avg-More
 

Not very forgiving on mis-center hits. Considerable distance loss on shots hit off of the toe.

Looks
Titanium head with a volume of 210 cc, pear-shaped, gray metalflake finish, traditional in appearance, Harvey Penick signature as alignment aid.


Summary:
The Golfsmith Harvey Penick Titanium driver is one of many component drivers avialable. This was one of the first titanium drivers prior to the large oversize heads. The driver has traditional good looks but was not very forgiving on all but the best of swings.
