The PowerBilt Air Force One DFX retails for $299 and is available in 8.5°, 9.5°, 10.5°, and 12.5°. Though it’s not as easy to find as many of the big names, the effort to try and, perhaps, purchase the AFO is well worth it. While these choices may be overwhelming for players without any knowledge of shafts, for players who know what they like in a shaft, it virtually guarantees that the AFO will perform well.Īt a price of $299 with a stellar selection of “stock” shafts, the PowerBilt Air Force One DFX is not just a strong performer, but it’s a great value as well. There are other Fujikura options as well as shafts from Aldila and Graphite Designs (shaft from Mitsubishi and Oban are available for an extra charge).
I chose the Fujikura Fuel, a shaft that I’ve played very successfully before.
POWERBILT AIR FORCE ONE COMPLETE SET DRIVER
The ball flight is strong and you can expect to see above-average roll out at the end of your shots.įinally, one of the things that makes the AFO such a strong performer is the selection of aftermarket “stock” shafts. PowerBilt Air Force One DF Driver Looks: The pearl white top gives it a trendy look that is sure to turn some heads when you take off the head cover. It’s not in the “you absolutely must buy extra loft” category of some of this year’s drivers, but the spin is definitely low. The AFO tends to launch the ball on a medium trajectory and it does keep the spin fairly low. So here’s where the rubber meets the road: does the nitrogen powered driver really deliver top ball speeds? While I don’t know if the nitrogen is a factor or not, the Air Force One does deliver strong ball speed across the face. I don’t know what it is, but the combination of sound and feel just make me tee up ball after ball. The problem with that description is that is it misses the most important characteristic: as much as any driver I’ve tried this year, the Air Force One is really fun to hit. Mishits turn the volume down a bit, letting you know that you need to get back to the sweet spot.
POWERBILT AIR FORCE ONE COMPLETE SET CRACK
The sound of the Air Force One is a slightly metallic, higher pitched crack with an average to slightly loud volume. The white and orange logos are tastefully done and would not be out of place on a driver from a “top” OEM.
All in all, it’s a strong looking club at address.įlipping the club over, you’ll notice the “scoops” in the heel and toe of the sole, ostensibly to make the club more aerodynamic. The face is deep, as the name suggests, but it’s in good proportion to the rest of the club. The shape is fairly symmetrical and slightly triangular owing to its longer front-to-back measurement. While I still don’t know if the nitrogen has any impact on the performance, I do know that the PowerBilt Air Force One DFX is a driver that should not be dismissed.Īt address, the Air Force One offers a matte black crown with a small white alignment aid. Ridiculous, right?īefore I hit it, I would have said, “Yes.” Now that I’ve hit countless balls with it, I’m not so sure. PowerBilt isn’t one of the “big names,” and they claim that their driver is longer because it’s filled with nitrogen. It would be easy to dismiss the PowerBilt Air Force One driver.
