'WORST DRIVER EVER!!!'
Strengths:
The grip was good but im not sure if it came as standrd, the one I had was a lamkin cord grip

The head changes colour in different light conditions, but that is a very minor detail when i look for a good driver
Weaknesses:
Everything that wasn't mentioned above, especially the noise, which can alert everyone with a 40 mile radius to the poor drives that you will hit with this driver
Overall:
Really really bad!!

'IF YOU CAN'T HIT THE FAIRWAY WITH THIS MONSTER--GIVE UP GOLF'
Strengths:
Incredibly long and straight. I couldn't miss the fairway with it, easiest driver to hit straight by a long way. Launches it into the air quicker and further than any other club I've hit.
Weaknesses:
Means I've no excuses for my short game.
Overall:
I've tried the Taylor made R540 and the Ping Si3, both went a good distance but with a fade or a slice. This XX10 went dead straight and loong. I had to get the technique right for the Ping and Taylor made but the XX10 required no adjustment to my normal swing, even off centre hits stayed on the fairway, occasionally managed to move the ball from right to left something I never do with a driver I always fade or slice it. My father who's in his 60's hit it straight up the middle with great elevation of the tee, he usually has difficulty getting the ball high enough. We didn't even have to use the big tees, the XX10 launched the ball into the distance off medium tees, impossible with the R540 or Ping. If you can get hold of one try it you'll not be dissappointed.

'CONFIDENCE BUILDER'
Strengths:
Looks Good. Inspires confidence. Long and straight once you have mastered it.
Weaknesses:
I went through a stage of shanking the ball with it... but this may have been because my previous driver was considerably shorter than the XX10. Some may find the standard shaft a bit whippy...
Overall:
I bought a 350cc version of the XX10 through eBay back in August, for £130, following the Golf World review. As a high handicapper (23) with an amateurs' slow swing, I was interested in how I would perform with the club. In the past I have shied away from my driver, but I'm pleased to say that I feel much more confident with this club. When I connect well with the ball, I get great distance and pretty good accuracy, and if this comes together early in a round, it really helps my whole game. My only criticism would be that the standard shaft is pretty 'whippy', which may not suit all, and that at first I found myself occassionally shanking the ball, though this seems to have stopped now. Overall, though I am very pleased with the club, and it is certainly out of my bag much more often than my old driver...

'LONG AND LOW WITH LOTS OF ROLL'
Strengths:
Penetrating ball flight, long and straight.
Weaknesses:
Standard grip needs replacing.
Overall:
I used this club for 2 rounds with the standard grip and it destroyed my swing!!! I lost all my rhythm and started to slice the ball badly. I have just had it re-gripped and I can now see what all the fuss is about. I need four layers of tape to pad the grip out and having had this done I feel much more at ease with the club and have started to hit it passed my old driver (Progen Full Bore 420Ti) by 20 yards or so and can still see room for improvement.

'VERY LONG CLUB WITHOUT THE NEED FOR A HUGE HEAD'
Strengths:
Very long off the tee and superbly made club. Added 10-20 yards for me.
Weaknesses:
Standard (regular) shaft I find very wippy almost like a seniors flex, so careful matching with your swing my be needed
Overall:
Very good club long and forgiving, just watch the shafts.

'TOP NOTCH'
Strengths:
very forgiving, shaft a little whippy, may change for a stiffer shaft soon.
Weaknesses:
overall none.
Overall:
fantastic distance and the most forgiving driver you will ever hit!. Do not make the mistake of getting the 305cc single ax sole driver, this is the only one to have!

'DON'T BELEVE THE HYPE'
Strengths:
Good for people who slice
Weaknesses:
If you hit the ball straight! You will be in the trees left. I suppose that could be the shaft being to flexable.
Overall:
A friend of mine bought one. Nit head great looks but for a stiff shaft. Hits like crap low left and to be honest i think if i bought one i would have to reshaft it.
