I'm a high handicapper but
straighter, better trajectory, more roll/overall distance, sounded
pretty good to me. Plus I'll be able to say "me? I hit an X." A lot
to that.
A year or so ago I built a tipped X flex driver for one of my junior golfers and so I had to try it too. Surprisingly it was OK to hit. Accuracy was good, trajectory a little low and not as much overall distance. You have to be careful about the assumption that more roll will result in greater overall distance. Depends a lot on ball flight path, spin (whether it climbs at the end and falls or just arcs over into a nice shallow landing angle). I stayed with the drivers that had the longest air time & best landing angle.
