According to the president of Powerbilt, Ross Kvinge, the nitrogen pressure has been reduced to 80 pounds which not only maximizes the trampoline effect for increased ball speed. When I took the club out for a test drive, I found that the ball leaves the club face extra hot with a penetrating ball flight and mid-trajectory. The sole has a couple of orange graphics and white lettering all in all, it’s a good looking club. The club is finished in matte black with a contrasting white alignment aid on the crown.

This rounded profile helps to make this new Powerbilt driver more aerodynamic. Secondly is the deep face and rounded profile which has been a trademark of Powerbilt for almost 100 years. Obviously, the biggest difference is the nitrogen pressurized club head which leads to explosive distance. There are a couple of things that set the AFO N7 DFX apart from other drivers. Compressed nitrogen is used to provide tremendous support to the club face, allowing golfers of all abilities the maximum trampoline effect and smash factor, resulting in greater distances. Nitrogen Charged Technology (NCT) is a method of reinforcing the clubface without adding any weight. Powerbilt came out with this technology a few years ago and this year introduced their newly designed: the Air Force One (AFO) N7 Deep Face Extreme (DFX). In an industry where uniqueness is everything and creating a product that produces extra yards off the tee equates to millions of dollars in revenue, Powerbilt may just be on to something with their patented Nitrogen Charged Technology. Powerbilt’s newest product line is out to change that. But bring up Powerbilt in a golf conversation with your friends will look at you like you have no idea what you’re talking about. Golfers may be familiar with another sister company: Bionic, makers of some of the best golf gloves I have ever tested. Most sports minded people are familiar with Powerbilt’s sister company – Louisville Slugger, a giant within baseball and softball. Back then, Powerbilt was a well-respected name in the golf community not so these days. I was eight years old and the set consisted of a Powerbilt Citation 3-wood, a 5-iron and a putter.

I smacked a few off the tee today with a standard Cobra S2 3 wood.not exactly a full demo, I'm a bartender at a country club and I just ran downstairs when it got slow and grabbed a demo club and hit a few off first tee.but anyways I liked it but I didn't love it.When I think of Powerbilt, I think back to my very first set of golf clubs in the late 1960s. Thank you Justin that was the reply I was looking for in terms of the practical differences bewteen two clubs that are similar in face degree. but if you do find something out, let me know ). But you have to do what's right for YOUR game, not mine (that would just be silly. After rereading this, it does sound kind of wishy-washy, but I feel it's true: everyone has a preference and none of them are "wrong". The fitter will be able to give you an idea, based on your ability, which route will be the best for your personal swing. +1 for you for going and demoing all you can. if you're properly fitted into a 3 wood that's the right length, head size and style, shaft flex and grip size, you may be looking at a Swiss Army knife (in golf form) at your disposal. It's also highly possible that the hybrid, at the same loft, can actually be longer than its FW "brother": if you find you have more consistent impacts with a hybrid's face center, that can boost your distance potential while maintaining the accuracy that's inherent with the design. Hybrids can be shorter, but more accurate. The hybrid will also have a shorter shaft (39.5-41").įWs can be longer, but less accurate. There will be no horizontal or vertical gear effect- flight trajectory, backspin and flight direction will be dictated mostly by the swing path and clubhead angle at impact. Their face, though, will resemble that of an iron. Then there's the obligatory "everything in between".
The FW will also have a longer shaft off the rack (43-43.5"). The bulge is a corrective measure on miss-hits ("gear effect") while the roll can decrease backspin ("vertical gear effect"). A FW will be in the 170-200cc range, with face (vertical) roll and (horizontal bulge. Fairway woods and hybrids are two different animals.
