Any body get the results from Golf World about their latest driver tests. Apparently the Nike 460 won hands down 8O . Closest was the ERC Fusion which was actually the HI Cor version. All the testing was done using a robo-golfer. Have the actual PDF document if anybody wants to see it.

Top 12 as follows.
Nike Ignite 460 - 251
Callaway ERC Fusion+ - 246
Wilson Deep Red 11 Max - 244
Precept Moonsole 320LS - 243
Mizuno MP-001 - 239
Snake Eyes Dat 600T - 238
Yonex Cyberstar Powerbird - 238
Srixon XXIO Hot - 237
Hippo ITX 420 - 236
Cobra 400SZ Unlimited - 235
Taylor Made R580XD - 234
Titleist 983K - 234

Looks like Nike might be onto a winner here with publicity like this. Have hit the 410 myself and thought it was quite good. Could very easily slip it into the bag. Nice to see a big headed driver that is not 2 or 3 degrees closed. Never seen the 460 though.

Shame they didn't have the 510TP or R7 in there though.

I used the Ignite 460 at a recent Demo day, it for me was the best Driver out of all the one's I tried.....

ERC FUSION
GBB 380
GBB 2004
ADAMS Redline
Taylormade 580

There were some others but I can't remember, it would be interesting to try on the course actually against my TP as it really did feel good and seem like it was bombing them! 8) Wonder what a Fuji 757 or NV shaft would do for it??

I've seen the 460 and had a hit with one - face angle is pretty decent!!! I was quite surprised...

mind you, I don't ground the driver at all, so pretty much anything hovers okay for me...
