Accuracy |
|
|
We found this driver
to be very accurate. As with the most of the latest technology,
the ball seems to really jump off the face therefore swings
that aren't perfect don't stray to far off line. |
|
Distance |
|
|
The overall distance
was about the same as our comparison drivers. The ball
comes off the face hot therefore rolls a good deal when
it hits the fairway. |
|
Trajectory |
|
|
The Bazooka JMAX produced
a nice boring trajectory that can be lowered or heightened
based on tee height. One thing that was nice was when hitting
balls at the higher tee height, the ball didn't balloon
at all. |
|
Feel |
|
|
Very good feedback on well struck shots
as well as those hit towards the heel or toe. We could
easily tell if when missed it a little but it still gave
a good sensation to the hands.
|
|
Forgiveness |
|
|
A very forgiving club that looks and is
very easy to hit because of the larger head. As mentioned
above, even when the ball was struck with an improper swing,
the ball didn't stray to far off line because of the way
the ball comes off the face.
|
|
Looks |
The rich dark finish on the crown is contrasted
nicely by the mirror finish sole. The driver resembles some
of the major manufacturer's drivers but with a much lower
price. The head is large at 410cc with a deep face. The shaft
graphics are simple with the shaft details hidden at address.
The head does not have a site line, an ommision that some
of our testers noted as a negative. The headcover is striking
black with blue accents topping off a beautiful combination
of color and style. |
Summary:
The TourEdge Bazooka
JMAX is a high quality, high performance driver that we first had
an opportunity to hit at the PGA Merchandise Show's Demo Day at
Orange County National Golf Center in Orlando. We were pleased
with this driver then and now is no different. We feel that TourEdge
has a winner in this club with a price point being well below the
driver category leaders. The Bazooka JMAX driver by TourEdge will
appeal to those golfers that are looking for a solid performing
driver that provides above average forgiveness and offers as high
quality appearance as you will find on the market. Additional information
on all of the TourEdge Golf products is provided on their website
