The first one, I was expecting a bit of a draw (normal ball flight) and it went straight through a slight dogleg - one of my longest drives ever on that hole (wind was behind me a bit so the 12* of loft put it up there and let the wind have it's way with the ball)

On the second one, I felt contact out near the toe and said "son of a" before I ever looked up - when I looked up I saw a nice high straight ball splitting the middle of the fairway - absolutely amazing. - I may look to pick one of these things up for myself

I'm not sure I like the headcover though - kinda weird - but all in all, much better than I expected for the price ($55 for the head, $10 for the shaft)
Yeah, the headcover is kind of weird but I like the colors and graphics on it. It always feels like I am putting a diaper on the head every time it goes back in the bag though...

I have missed maybe 4 fairways my last three or 4 rounds with my Quadratic. I can honestly say I've never hit a driver straighter in my whole life. It's a fairway finding machine. I like being able to stand on the tee now, look down the fairway and actually know where the ball is going.
