The Acer XV Ultimate Thriver head results in near-driver distance with the control of a fairway wood. Year after year, one of Acer's thrivers have been among our hottest selling heads. Here are some reasons to consider the XV Ultimate Thriver head:
Spring Face COR right up to the legal limit for more distance
Shorter, more controllable length for great consistency
Large, confidence building volume
Lower loft than some thrivers to increase roll and overall distance
Why do many golfers miss the fairway on their tee shot? Two main reasons; one is that the length of the club is too long and the other reason is that the club itself is too light. Drivers today are longer in length and lighter weight than even a short few years ago. Why the trend?
So that one can potentially swing the club faster and get a little more distance. But that is only possible if the ball is struck solidly in the center of the face that is square to the target line. That's great for a touring pro with a solid repeatable swing. For the average golfer it is a recipe for a disastrous drive.
The Acer XV Ultimate Thriver Head is a full 10-15 grams heavier than a normal driver head to allow for a more controllable playing length. Plus with more weight in the head it will transfer more momentum to the ball and help with developing a better swing tempo. This thriver has reduced loft from Acer's previous thrivers (it's 12º) to produce approximately the same launch angle as a standard 10.5º driver.
Please note that optional weight screws are not included but are available in the swingweighting supplies section of our website.
This is a head only. When the club is made, 44" men's length and 43" ladies length is what we suggest. Note that this is the full club length, not the shaft length.
