Ben Sayers M1

In my experience this driver has been amazing, it corrected a mild slice and has a high trajectory. I have owned this driver for two years and went out to replace it today deciding money was no object. I came away unable to buy a better club for my game: taylormade r7, ping g15 with offsets , draw bias ,everything i could try was outperformed by this club. Now i am certain that this would not the case for better players ( i hit this club about 250 yards with maybe 200 yards carry)and that my familiarity with the club was a factor but as a budget or first driver i honestly feel this Ben Sayers M1 club represents amazing value.

The Ben Sayers M1 will contribute to straighter shots but won't simply cure your slice. Faders may end up drawing. Needs a bit of adjustment to your address to get it working correctly for you. For me a bit further back in my stance from the normal front heel position worked a treat. 6 to 8 inches. As long as you keep your head down after impact and have faith that your shot will be straight then when you do eventually look I think you'll be pleasantly suprised. In to out swing paths will not be remedied by this club. It's more likley to solve weak grips. If you do address in line with the heel then the offset will make it look like you're going to pull - unless you have your hands way forward. That causes too much spine tilt for me and leads to an opening of the of the upper body in the stance prior to imapct. Bingo, there's your slice Instead, use a normal grip, a normal swing but address 6 inches further back and DO NOT follow the ball off the tee. Yes it fells a bit cramped but the results will speak for themselves. Address more with the toe as well or you'll tend to shank (or even heel) it. It is lofty but by positioning further back I find I can make 250 - 270 without trying too hard and have gone from a killer slice to intentionally hitting the 250 yardage boards at my range with an audible thud. My slice was as bad as they come. Positioning further back also stops it from ballooning on the upswing. Let the loft do the work. This club solved my problem by forcing me to reconsider (and by allowing me) to reposition the ball - further back - and it isolated my early stance opening. This club doesn't solve it on it's own but by getting it to fit your swing it can make a real difference.

All in all a good Driver for beginner to intermediate and will help improve your game!

however..... i did not slice upto it breaking.

After buying the first M1 driver I bought all the M1 woods, including the Rescue club. I was hitting the ball very straight and kept it in play so much more. My scoring improved to the point where in one match I scored 43 points - then got cut two shots. Subsequently about six of my playing friends and acquaintances have been out and bought them. I have bought the latest 460 model and can drive about 220 to 230 yards which for a club with twelve degree loft is not bad. However one chap I played with was using an M1 and was driving about forty yards further. The M1 is the first club I have felt very comfortable with. If you are a low handicapper this club is not for you. For us middle to high handicappers this is a good club especially if you slice. Mind you like all clubs if you swing across the line you will slice even with this club. Lastly - the price. I paid £29.99 for mine with head cover, which is good value.
