Hi All,

I have been reading about how these Krank drivers have been winning most of the long drivers competitions in the US, and am curious if anyone has actually used/tested the driver, esp. the Krank rage driver.

Appreciate any reviews.

Regards,

i say this to every one we fit with a Krank...

you will go to place you never been before. sometimes its length you never been before, sometimes its fairway you never been before, sometimes its just after the white tee and way before the red tee.

however for the competent player, this driver is long.

we will be offering this with the BFG 5 series at $480 for a limited period only. Please check with FrostEE at 64712272 for stocks and loft available.

DGMan... Been wondering about where the distance comes from this driver?

1. Is the face thinner to allow more trampoline effect?
2. Is the face the same thickness as normal drivers? It being R&A approved.
3. Is the face thicker? Like those for them Long Drivers?

the answer is in the unique T shape enforcement stretching from the crown to the sole. its a very neutral drive and the face angle is adjusted to the loft. eg 7.5 degree is more open than a 9.5. because of the T shape crown and sole design, the impact feels like a hot rod on a salt pan.

however one needs to be able to hit this baby to get maximum results and its not the driver for someone who do not finish his swing. its conforming to the COR required by the R&A and USGA.

the face is no thicker than required but the face has a reputation of buckling in when not hit properly or smash at the wrong places. its a monster but is not harsh when contacted well.

i say again, it will bring you to places you never been before.

when you flush the driver, you will feel what its like....otherwise, stay with your 180 meters driver.

I am actually considering a 3rd career.

2nd career being an environmentalist is not very financially rewarding but its a calling that I took up and I consider it a privilege to be fighting for the sharks, dolphins and whales who needs our help.

Perhaps my 2nd career is preparing me for my 3rd....

i saw an episode on 1000 ways to die and there was a tree hugger who chained himself to a tree to save it from the loggers. he was eaten alive by a hungry bear and he can't run cos he was chained to the tree that he was trying to save.

he die because he was so one track....when i saw that episode, it reminded me of someone i know who is also very one track. he is also refer to as the tree-hugger.

@mt i thought u were suggesting that i take up a parliamentary speech write as a 3rd job. this is so confusing. perhaps i am misunderstood. ah. again. another quality important for a gahmen servant. always misunderstood.

@Master, Its kinda hard to think about another track when I did not manage to breakthrough on that one track that I am already on.

thats because you also walk behind someone in a single file.

try getting off the beaten track once in a while....... like eating sharks meat and hugging your love ones instead.
