Higher launch and lower spin are the magic words to get the most bang from your driver, and it's been bombs away for me with the new Mitsubishi Tensei AV Raw Orange shaft.

Tensei AV Raw Orange is a counterbalanced shaft (with more weight in the butt section, but actually has an evenly balanced (almost linear, one-piece) feeling, and is extremely stable.  It's still a stout feeling, but a smoother stout and not boardy feeling at all.

Toue Edge Exotics EXS Pro Hybrid Review

The new Tour Edge EXS Pro hybrid is the kind of hybrid you can call on to hit any shot you want.

Fantastic versatility with nothing sacrificed in performance.  It's a perfect face height to use off tee or from fairway. From the rough it rips through the grass, and the ball screams off the face.  And I've even used it with pretty good success chipping off greens.

Callaway Big Bertha B21 Driver Review

The slice.  It chips away at your dignity.  You step into the tee box hoping for a ray of sunshine, but instead experience another power outage.  The slice is an epidemic.  Or at least it used to be.

Callaway's new Big Bertha B21 driver takes away the right side as well or better than any anti-slice driver I've ever hit or tested.  And I tested B21 hard.  Poor grip, chicken wing, over the top, and deliberately open face,  B21 turned all these slice swings into very playable, and surprisingly long drives.
