WEIGHT CONTROL
The Acer XV Ultimate Thriver is a full 10 to 20 grams heavier than a normal driver. The addition of the weight produces even greater forgiveness making this the ultimate in control off the tee.
GRAVITY CONTROL
The Ultimate Thriver also features the same Power Chamber and Gravity Port as the matching driver for improved performance and versatility.

Plus with more weight in the head will transfer more momentum to the ball and establish a better swing tempo.

Product Questions
Yes, that is what we would suggest to offset the additional head weight.
That light of a shaft would indeed hit the ball higher than the same brand/make in a heavier weight option. The key to using a shaft of this weight is your tempo. Golfers with short swings or quick tempos don't fare well with shafts this light, they were may for the person with the long, full fluid swing.
It is matte black.
Part of the explanation of the length discrepancy can be found in in the clubs’ respective sizes. The face profile of a driver (or our Thriver) is much deeper or taller than a 3 wood. The reasoning is it is designed to hit a ball off an elevated tee. In contrast, a fairway wood is shallow as it needs to hit the ball primarily off the fairway or out of the rough. As such, the deeper face will possess a higher center of gravity (CG) or closer to the fulcrum point on a swingweight scale. Thus is will produce a lighter swingweight even though the two heads are the same weight. This is why the Thriver is suggested to have a longer length.
We will have to see. While all our RH Thrivers have done very, very well, the one time we brought out a LH version didn't gain the traction we thought it would.
The reason is two-fold. By having the additional weight lower in the head, this has some effect on reducing the spin. More importantly, we suggest tip trimming based on a 3-wood to offset the additional weight. By shorting the parallel tip section it tends to launch the ball lower than if you had trimmed the shaft as a driver.
Would it work with this clubhead?
With the heavier weight, you could achieve the D1 swingweight at 43" or slightly less with that weight shaft.
We have not submitted it to the USGA for a formal ruling. However, we have done our due diligence and there is not anything in the design that would make it non-conforming.

- Thriver reviewI am 5'7" and struggle some with std length driver. Paired this with an SK Fiber 67g Hypersonic counterbalanced shaft. Trimmed to spec. Tried on course today. Very comfortable at address, NICE feel. On three of four holes I used Thriver, nice straight, long drives. It will be in my bag.
- Let me say what I really love about this driverMy favorite part of this driver is that it is the only driver head in the current 2023 Lineup that is offered in 12° and 0° Square Face Angle. That being said, so many of my customers prefer the look, sound and feel of this club during the club fittings I run here. If most drivers sound like a thud-y cowbell, this Acer XV Ultimate Thriver sounds like a bright crash cymbal at impact, while the feel of this club is soft and warm. It really is one of the straightest hitting driver components to ever be tested at Jaxon Golf. I was very excited to put my winning driver combination together to settle any tee club debate for my own bag, with this Ultimate Thriver mounted with a stylish, retrofitted BB&F ferrule on a stiff silver stick of shiny steel, a True Temper Dynamic Gold Lite 115g X100 Wood shaft, yes, yes...that my next day's client bought from me right out of my bag bwomp bwomp. C'est la vie so they say. What a stiff and stout 43.5" shillelagh war club! If i didn't also call out the clean looks...those are very pleasing to the eye. I think I'd like to see a more traditional low-key dot alignment marker on the top instead of the Acer logo alignment, or a triangle, chevron, tri-dot arrangement, etc. could all be cool moving into models beyond the SR1. The bottom line is that clients are trying and buying this club with regularity, and that speaks volumes of brands that have no ambassadors outside of someone like me. This gets my "buy with confidence" mark of approval and 5-star rating across all categories of look, sound, feel, performance, demand, price point, reliability. I'm honestly just so amazed that I'm the first individual to review and rate this club.
Hit'em less often and in the direction you intended. (I don't like sayin', "Hit'em straight" when so many golfers...just don't, lol and they aren't all necessarily bad for doing so, yes? Looking at you, Bubba. Cheers.
