44 inch finished length, Lamkin Performance Plus for multiple grip positions without thin grip issue. I love the club and swing it with confidence. Swing weight is perfect and the results are solid even with off-center hits. Quality is much better than price would indicate. Bargain price with premium level of performance. Thank you.

I have been a golf enthusiast for 20 years and never been able to hit any driver. The Caimen driver is giving me more confidence with the driver. I have been practicing with it for a couple of weeks and can't wait to use it on the course.

I usually shoot mid 40's and I drive off the tee about 260-280 with an occasional 300yarder. I wont lie that it took a couple of trips to the driving range to get the feel of this club, but now that I got the feel for it I really like it. My drives are consistantly 280+ and I have hit a one 310/315ish.
The only thing remotely bad is the ping when you tee off, its not that much louder than the other tee shots ringing around the course but you will deffenitly hear it.

The club looks good but, But if your are looking for distance this is not it. Also if you get it made for you it has no refund policy so make sure you know what you want because you are stuck with it.

The feel of this driver is like none I've ever had. I'm a mid to high handicap golfer and the moment the ball leaves the club I can tell what I did right or wrong. Makes for an easy adjustment to hit the ball longer and more accurate. I had mine put on a New Image Red X-Stiff shaft. The sound is unique but in a good way.

from St Louis, MO on 8/25/2009
I purchased this club because I was loosing accuracy with my R7. My model is 10.5 with an aldila Gamer shaft cut down 1/2 inch. This club is far more accurate and forgiving than my R7. I played my first round with the new stick and here are the results: My first hit was off the toe and when 180 to the right edge of the primary rough, my last shot was high on the face and almost left a skymark but traveled 190 yards bone straight. my other 3 drives(only played 9) were 240-280 and in the fairway. My results on the range were similar, long and straight. I compare this club to the Nike Sumo or the Ft-i but at a much better price.

Wasn't sure of this purchase, but now am more than satisfied! Absolutely awesome driver, although I opted to customize the shaft and grip to my liking. Had a friend that tried it on the back nine and couldn't say enough of how much he liked it....more than once almost drove the par 4's!
Highly recommended!
from BAD AXE MICH. 48413 on 7/8/2009
I LIKE THE CAIMAN DRIVER IT IS GREAT OFF THE TEE AND IS VERY ACCURATE DOWN THE FAIRWAY. I WOULD RECOMMEND IT TO BOTH MEN AND WOMEN.

from Western New York on 6/9/2009
Ok, I bought this driver a year ago from Hireko and am still using it. This is a follow up on my previous review... All I can say is it is still a great club, has held up very well, excellent quality, and remains my primary driver. I've tried others.... and keep coming back to this one... Still the longest, straightest driver I've ever hit.... Thanks guys....
from Plainview N.Y. on 6/5/2009
It's nice to actually get what a product is advertised to do,enjoying my new driver immensely.
from Chicago on 6/4/2009
I was using a wilson driver with flex regular shat, but my shots were too high and fade every shot... This driver smokes the ball, dead center, easy to hit, perfect launch angle, i hit it with no effort, its top mark gives great alignment and the sound OMG awesome! crisp beautiful sound, makes me wanna be hitting it all day, I order it with stiff aldila shaft... the look of the club is great as well, thanks..
from Buenos Aires, Argentina on 1/9/2009
I am not a long hitter and could easily surpass my colleagues. Did not ned to get used to it. Two or three shots and I was ready.
from Asheboro, NC on 1/4/2009
This driver has the performance and power to get the ball out there where you want it. I've hit alot of drivers, and this one by far has been the best. You feel confident when you put it in your hands. Most of all you can't beat the price.
from Asheboro, NC on 1/2/2009
I was able to get out to the range with it, and what a difference. I've hit a lot of drivers, and this one is by far the best yet. I'm getting 30 to 40 extra yards, much straighter shots, and the feel at impact is nice. This club is worth every penny.
from Illinois on 11/24/2008
Used the 10.5 degree driver all season. Found it to be very consistent. Good sight lines and seemed to be forgiving on mishits.
from Sterling Heights, MI on 11/10/2008
75% is confidence in the club and this club not only looks good but gives you the feel that you can hit the little white pill with confidence.
You have to believe in the club and yourself and if you feel good about the club your game will improve and my has!!!

from Furnace Mountain, Virginia on 9/29/2008
I've struggled with accuracy off the tee over the last year and was looking for a more accurate driver without sacrificing distance. I found it with the Caiman. I added the Aldila Gamer R shaft, but also cut it down 1 inch, for more accuracy. It's taken a couple of months, but I've adjusted to this club and now I am pounding it long and straight. I played in a 54 hole tournament this weekend and hit a ton of fairways while also taking longest drive on 2 of the 3 days. I am delighted with this driver and recommend it without reservation. Well done, Hireko!!

I did not get the distance I get from my previous driver, but I assume it's too late to return it.

I purchased it looking for longer distance. I installed a [$] Nano Stulz Arrow Shaft. Great feel good control but the distance was about the same as my old Driver

from New York on 8/1/2008
I assembled this club with the Grafalloy Blue Pro Launch and Winn Black Classic Grip. Very long and straight. Don't know if it's the shaft or the head but the combo works great.
Golfed with a friend who has Callaways. When I took the club out of the bag on the first tee, he commented on the odd shape. Well, I outdrove him with my "odd" shaped club, then he tried it. Went farther than his Callaway and wants me to make him one.
The only negative, if this is a negative, is the sound of the club. But who cares about the sound if it does the job?

from Portland, OR on 7/27/2008
This is best driver I have ever hit. The sweet spot on this thing is HUGE, toe or heel hits still go straight. I've never had any trouble with distance just accuracy, but i think i've fixed that. I built a 10.5* head with the UST ProForce 65G Gold which is a great combo. Nice mid ball flight, just what i was looking for. Thanks Hireko!

from Springfield, OH on 7/20/2008
Incredible hitter, very large sweet spot and highly playable out to the edges. Golf Digest wasn't kidding about this driver, it's amazing. First shot in regular play put it down the fairway about 280 yards with Nike Distance balls. Subsequent tee shots were just as good. Finish is very attractive, pvd finish is very nice. My combo was +1 shaft length, Apollo shadow graphite, Golf Pride tour velvet midsize. Standard flex shaft feels great, not whippy at all. Don't wait to order this driver!! Sounds even better on the course than the sound clip on the website too.

from morgantown wv on 7/6/2008
I never used to hit driver off any tee it would always be a 5 wood but with this caiman my five wood will stay in the bag. On a 361 yd hole i had 75 yds to the green. My friend plays a cleveland hibore but is jealous of my caiman.

from Singapore on 6/19/2008
I have never been able to carry my drive to the 200m marker at the driving range near my home using branded names like Nike and TaylorMade. With the Caiman, I finally could carry the ball all the way to the 200m marker! And for such a great price! Amazing value!

I'm just a weekend golf warrior, but the caiman driver made me the king! Par 4 335 yards to the green, I used a SW to get on in two. Amazing club, I had a couple of off center hits and the club still worked great. This club is the real deal! Thanks Hireko golf.

Used Live chat and forum and talked to Jeff S. regarding some ball fight issues I had with my Cleveland Hibore XL. Jeff recommended the Caiman with a Aldila Gamer Shaft customized to my height and swing rather than re-shafting my Cleveland. Club was promptly assembled and shipped. The club hits every bit as nice as the Hibore with a more penetrating ball flight which is what I was looking for. An inexpensive but definitely not a cheap club. Quality is a good as, if not better than the Cleveland. I am very happy with it and thanks Jeff for all your professional help!

from Honolulu, HI on 6/4/2008
I used to play a Nike driver and was debating between the Caiman or the Cleveland Hi-Bore. Due to cost considerations, I chose the Caiman and have been pleasantly surprised at what a great club this is. My friends have all tried it and want to know where they can get their own.

For the price, this driver is hundreds of dollars above all the brand name drivers. This driver looks great sitting behind the ball on the tee, building confidence.

from Las Vegas, NV on 5/8/2008
After 3 rounds of golf I find this driver to be one of the best I have used. It is forgiving with off center hits, eliminates some slice and gives me the extra distance I need to compete with my group.

from Flint, MI on 4/24/2008
Wow...this driver is unbelievable...one of my favorite things to do with the "clone" clubs is to upgrade the components so I chose the Epic shaft in a 44" length...I got this out on the range today and I cannot believe how much better this sounds than my other square drivers...the forgiveness is great...Hireko has a winner here and the club looks amazing[...]awesome!

from Agoura, CA on 4/18/2008
I built this 12 degree club with an Aldila regular flex shaft as I do with with every degree driver that I make for myself. So far this is my second favorite driver. It flys the ball straight and far but just a few yards short of my favorite 12 degree driver (one of those square drivers that go clunk when you hit the ball). This club has no annoying sound effects. I have copaired it with my favorite square driver on the driving range. It flys the ball higher than my square one, but not quite as far. I played four 18 hole rounds with this club and loved the accuracy. This is a very fine driver and I am still debating with myself as to which club is my favorite.

from Highlands Ranch, CO on 4/7/2008
I have built Maltby and Snake Eyes drivers and like both of them. I have a Snake Eyes Python XL which I thought was the best driver I had played with. I find the Caiman to be longer and even feels more solid. I have no idea where you could find a better driver. Guys play with me with the new Taylors and Pings, hit this one longer and more accurate. GREAT
JOB on a GREAT DRIVER.
Thankyou
