The fact that the buyer of the Air Force One drivers can get shafts from the best names in shaft technology should erase any doubt on how serious Powerbilt is about selling a quality product.
#Powerbilt air force one 3 wood driver
Distance was quite favorable.Īny golf driver aficionado knows that all the OEM heads are good or great or whatever but the difference in performance for the individual golfer is in the driver shaft. The ball carried impressively with limited side spin. That feeling is like when swinging a hammer and catching the nail perfectly. The feel was very solid even on off-sweet-spot hits and really something else when hit on the button. The clubhead looks strong but manageable creating confidence to really go after the drive. The AF One looks like a golf club and not a turtle at the end of a stick like a lot of 460 cc drivers. The clubhead looks very compact at address especially since it is a max size 460 head. First off the looks and graphics are distinctive and attractive. We tried the Air Force One DFX and found it to be quite legit. MSRP starts at $299.99, and there is an upcharge for ultra premium shaft options. The club is offered in several leading shaft models from the top OEM shaft brands, so that golfers will achieve the optimum launch angle and spin rate for their unique swing. It’s available in both the high MOI and Tour Series, in lofts of 8.5°, 9.5°, 10.5° and 12.5°. The Air Force One DFX features a forged titanium body with titanium cup face technology, as well as aerodynamic clubhead shaping. That means every golfer can benefit from maximum C.O.R., maximum C.T., maximum trampoline effect, and maximum smash factor for increased distance. PowerBilt’s patented Nitrogen N7 “Nitrogen Charged” technology makes its debut in the Air Force One DFX driver, as well it’s a newly patented method to reinforce the clubface without adding any weight. I can confidently say that this is the most solid driver we have ever produced.” We did this to appease our clubfitters who requested a better smash factor. And by adding 6 grams low and forward in the clubhead, we moved the CG lower and more forward than in any other Air Force One driver. Shot dispersion is also the tightest ever in our drivers. In fact, now the trampoline effect is up to the USGA maximum limit. “This new amount of nitrogen generates a tremendous trampoline effect for increased ball speed. “We reduced the nitrogen pressure to 80 pounds, for better impact feel,” says Ross Kvinge, President of PowerBilt. The clubface is now 5 mm deeper than the previous version, which catches the ball at impact slightly longer and combines with the nitrogen inside the clubhead to create reduced spin and more distance. Powerbilt, an old name in sporting goods since 1916 and specifically golf equipment who used to produce high quality persimmon wood drivers has rentered the golf market with Air Force One DFX nitrogen charged driver line.ĭFX stands for Deep Face Extreme. 820 coefficient of restitution limits but that hasn’t stopped engineers at OEM’s from trying to come up with new and better technologies. Many traditionalists felt the horse had gotten well away from the barn before the rulers acted on setting 460 cubic centimeter size and. The introduction of the Callaway Big Bertha and the Great Big Bertha and the trampoline effect of driver face recoil caused the ruling bodies of golf, the United States Golf Association and the Royal and Ancient Golf Club to institute limits in head size and trampoline effect, a/k/a coefficient of restitution. Titanium allowed driver heads to increase in volume and to thin out the driver faces. Titanium is a space age metal developed by the Russians for space craft that has the strength of steel at less than half the weight. Although the Pittsburgh Persimmon was cast steel, it was the introduction of titanium heads that really sent driver distances off the charts.
