For instance, a driver is approximately 3 times the size of a #3 wood but has a much higher moment of inertia (MOI) making it more forgiving on off-center shots. Plus you have a large confidence-building, thin face that produces a spring-like effect right up to the legal limit for more distance. On the other hand, a 3 wood is more lofted and this cuts down on side spin for straighter shots, plus the shorter length enables you to have more control.
Why not just cut down your driver? It would be too light to effectively control. The Acer XDS Insider Thriver club head weighs a full 10g more than a normal driver to allow for a shorter, more controllable length that now has the proper amount of club weight. Plus we placed this added weight in a strategic location to produce an even higher MOI. Combine the higher loft (14º) of a stronger lofted #3 fairway wood and what you now have is the ultimate in control off of the tee.
The head shape and contour on the crown was specifically designed to encourage one to swing the driver on an inside-out swing path. Plus the XDS Insider’s internal weighting creates a draw enhancing ball flight on center impact. The masking on the crown using our exclusive Square Optical Alignment System, cleverly disguises the closed face angle to provide a “square” appearance so one can just trust their natural swing.
When a standard driver goes long but wrong and your #3 wood doesn’t give you the distance you need, the Acer XDS Insider “Thriver” edition is that one club you have been searching for.

What an awesome product!! Great ball flight. Great feel. Point and Shoot accuracy. Apollo Shadow UL is a perfect fit for me. This is my first Hireko purchase but it won't be my last. I don't slice the ball and I was worried I might hook this club, but at this price, I figured it was an inexpensive experiment. I hit this club straight as an arrow.

I could never hit a driver with any consistancy. I would always go back to my trusty 3 wood. When I read about this club I thought I would give it a try. It was not an instant success but I was succesful enough that I never felt like putting it down. Now a few weeks later I go to the T-box with complete confidence. It goes where you aim and the middle of the fairway is good place to start. My 3 wood won't be seeing anymore T-boxes.

Had it assembled to minus 1 inch, Acer Velocity sen-flex for a 70 year old 20 handicap customer who had stopped going for the long par 3 over the water, taking a drop instead. He played a round of 14 over with me the very first time out. He hugged me after the round. But its not me its the club I said. This club has changed his golf life. I have supplied it various configurations to many customers and no negatives thus far. [...]

Comments about Hireko XTCM1234:Acer XDS Insider Thriver - Custom Assembled:
I had pretty much resolved myself to being a double-bogey golfer forever. I started experimenting with shorter shafts and greater loft in my tee club (not always a "driver"). And then I saw the ad about the Thriver, and jumped on it.
If I put a bad swing on it, it doesn't help. But if I maintain my plane and angles and use a moderate swing speed, it gives me an honest 200 yards in the middle of the fairway. I've been breaking 100 consistently with it, and getting close to breaking 95.
No club is magic, but this comes close to perfect for me.

I swung easy and added 25 yards to my normal drive....25 yards!!
I tried it off the deck and was amazed with the ease and ball flight.
