on Golf : review of Goldwin AVDP XL
Driver
SID Rating : ****
4/5 A Golden Great
Bought this driver a couple of years back
when they were discounted at Direct Golf.
For the princely sum of £45 I got a
driver that had been advertised at £300
plus. It's a little bit different from
your average driver with the sole looking
like it's gold plated. It's also a bit
different in that the head is milled from
aluminium, not your most common of driver
metals that!
The Goldwin also differs
in it having a pretty heavy swingweight.
I personally like a club with a bit of
meat in it, my current fave the Titleist
975D although having a titanium head is
also a little heavier than a lot of other
drivers. The face is also a little closed
to encourage a draw (see bottom picture
below).
I'm going to do another
test-drive on the Golfwin as it's been a
while since I've really used it. As I
recall it wasn't massively long but was a
banker if you wanted to keep the ball in
play.
Summary:
- 11 Degrees Milled
Aluminium Clubhead
- True Temper
Dynamic Gold Steel Shaft
- Draw biased
- heavy swing weight
- Golf Pride half
cord grip
