| Two of the best posts I've ever seen in these answers:
"Those who haven't hit it will tell you it is fugly and those who have hit it will tell you it is the best driver they've ever bought."
"I think you should get whichever version your son owns. Same head, same shaft."
I went to the shop convinced I would come away with a Launcher Ti or a HiBore, but promised I would try every driver in my price range, including the SQ I had absolutely no intention of buying, just so I couldn't take my purchase out and start with the 'what ifs' if I didn't hit it too well. The SQ came out with the best figures AND felt the best by an absolute mile, and within half a dozen swings you don't notice anything unusual about its shape. As I said, best decision I ever made was getting one.
And because of the influence of this very forum I keep getting pangs of 'But what if I got it reshafted?' - I have to slap myself around the face and remind myself that I'm now hitting the ball straighter than ever and finally hitting 250+ for the first time ever, so why the hell would I want to mess with that? If you hit your son's so well, get the exact same driver and don't mess with things that could make it worse as easily as they could make it better!
