Yes I have tried both last week , Fortunately I live close to a course and I am friends with the guys in the pro shop one of the guys has PGA connections , they sent him the Nike and Callaway , I gave both a crack and Honestly I did not like them they are so big its was just a weird look when addressing the ball and seeing this huge driver and it made the golf ball look so small , it took a few swings to get use to , I did not like the feel , they just seem to bulky on the downswing , Usually I use a x-stiff shaft on all my clubs , these had a stiff shaft but it felt like a senior flex to me , overall I was not to crazy about them , I know they are meant for game improvement , They are just another gimmick to get your dollar , they say those clubs are suppose to help with getting the face square for a better quality of shot , but gee isn't that what practice is for , if you cannot do it with a regular driver how is that monster going to help , I just think it is just the latest installment in these golf companies trying to make you think you can buy a better game , and by the way all eight guys in the proshop including the two PGA instructors thought those clubs were not good at all , Oh well you can only see for yourself you might like , hope you get a chance to demo soon .
Good Luck.

I don't know if they are out in the market yet. Usually tour pros get the first dibs on these new and prototype drivers! I heard they have bigger sweet spots and easier to "square" for a good impact!

I think they will hit the ball very straight really they are designed to hit it dead straight like a bullet. They may not go any farther but on your misses they may get better distance compared to the standard non square driver.

Hello Brian
I dont think they are on the market yet, I know I havent tried one myself. They supposedly have a greater sweetspot and less twisting at contact.
If in fact they help out mentally its all good because anything that helps that way is good.
Time will tell

the clubs your talking about won't be in the market place until march. try going to a golf show it may be there but i don't know when or where any are. i work at dick's sporting goods and the pro there said he hit one at a show and he said it hits just as good as the current sasquatch.
