Review: PowerBilt Air Force One DFX Tour Driver

It would not be difficult to blow off the PowerBilt Air Force One driver. PowerBilt is not one of the "large names," and they assert that their driver is longer because it is filled with nitrogen. Silly, right?

Before I hit it, I'd have said, "Yes." Since I have hit it against innumerable balls, I am not certain. I do understand that the PowerBilt Air Force One DFX is a driver that shouldn't be blown off, while I do not understand if the nitrogen has any effect on the operation.

The Air Force One offers a matte black pate with a little alignment support that is white. The contour is somewhat triangular and reasonably symmetrical owing to its more front to back measurement. The face is not shallow, as the name implies, but it is in great proportion to the remaining team. Overall, it is a powerful looking team at address.

Flipping the golf club over, you will find the "scoops" in the heel and toe of the sole, apparently to make the team more aerodynamic. The white and orange symbols are tastefully done and wouldn't be out of place on a driver from a "top" OEM.

Here 's where the rubber meets the road: does the nitrogen powered driver actually deliver top ball rates? The Air Force One does deliver powerful ball rate across the face, while I do not understand if the nitrogen is a variable or not.

The AFO tends to launch the ball on a trajectory that is moderate and it does keep the spin pretty low. It is not in the "you certainly must purchase additional studio" group of a few of the year's motorists, but the spin is undoubtedly low. The ball flight is powerful and you are able to expect to see above-typical roll out at the end.

Eventually, among the things which makes the AFO such a powerful performer is the choice of aftermarket "stock" shafts. I picked a rotating shaft that I have played quite successfully before the Fujikura Fuel,. There are other Fujikura choices along with rotating shafts and Graphite Designs (rotating shaft from Oban and Mitsubishi are accessible for an additional fee). While these alternatives may be overwhelming for players who understand what they enjoy in a spear, with no knowledge of shafts, it almost guarantees the AFO will perform nicely.

Experts: The Powerbilt AFO DFX Tour Black driver offers a number of the most rapid ball speeds and smash variables that are most consistent we have found in testing, all -faced layout that frames the ball rather nicely. Additionally, Powerbilt offers stock shafts (no upcharge) from Fujikura, Aldila and Graphite Design.
Disadvantages: The dearth of name recognition and adjustability in the market allow it to be almost impossible to build immediate credibility. Therefore, many big box stores and green grass reports may not have demo golf clubs available for prospective customers to attempt.
Takeaway: Should you be more worried about functionality and you do not mind a non-flexible head, this motorist is not incredibly slow and forgiving. The increase comes

Looks and Feel

The DFX's aesthetics are all company. Serious company. The matte black pate flows into the deep black face being a white alignment support atop the pear shaped profile. The back of the weapon is somewhat pointed and the sole has orange accents, aerodynamic shaping and plenty of letters and words to remind you what brand/version you are bagging. The head contour is fine and streamlined and does not seem or play cumbersome or bulky. The head shape's look at address, aside in the alliance aide, which lacks representational existence and seems cheap, is pleasing to even the most discerning players.

It is been said that feel is created by sound. If so, this club actually hums. Or sings. Literally. At first I'd no clue what to anticipate hitting a golf club augmented with nitrogen, but the sound was distinctively distinct. It was not obnoxious or loud like hitting on something that was component tuning fork and component golf club. The sound is not an injury. In point of fact, it is engineered. Sound waves are supplied way out stations before compression to produce a unique sound and feel. It was a far cry from persimmon, although I can not say I was unfavorable to it. I think the best description is the feel is a preference got over time.

Powerbilt is a little fish in a sea that is ginormous, working its way into golf clubs that are superior and the AFO DFX Tour is simply that: Premium. Powerbilt has put in time, attempt and engineering to produce a technology that CEO Ross Kvinge claims will enable them "to remain fairly true to who we are." From what I could tell, it is a business going in a exciting and operation-oriented direction and I wouldn't be shocked to see Powerbilt on some higher profile professional tours in the not too distant future on the basis of this club's operation.

Powerbilt's mantra "alter your game" and unprecedented use of nitrogen is somewhat edgy and rather dangerous, mainly because it must be. The consumer driver marketplace is ultra competitive and there's an abundance of quality options. Therefore, Powerbilt is banking on something which is weightless, colorless and odorless to make lots of sound and is definitely willing to place itself out there.

Be cautious, it simply might be where driver technology is headed. Would not it be something is Powerbilt got?
