A typical modern driver weighs approximately 250-280 grams (200g head, 50-80g shaft). The Momentus Power Hitter weighs in at a whopping 500g, twice the weight of your normal driver. This has a couple significant effects on your golf swing: 1) you cannot possibly get your hands/arms overly involved in the golf swing without horribly slicing the golf ball 2) swing this 50 times a day, and I assure you, your swing speed will increase at least a little bit!

For this review, I have the 310 gram version of the club. This is intended for users with swing speeds between 110 and 120 mph. Mine hovers around 105, but I figured, let’s shoot for the higher end of the spectrum than be in the upper end of the lower weight model (Power Hitter 275 – 85 mph-110mph).

The Momentus Power Hittter 310 club certainly has a distinct appearance. The bright orange club head cannot be mistaken…don’t expect to slip this out onto the course without people knowing you’re hitting a power hitter. That being said, the way I was hitting the Power Hitter, taking it onto the actual course may not be an unthinkable idea. Though…I suspect after 18 holes I’d be pretty wiped out.

Given all the weight, the club is very balanced. Weight is distributed through the shaft and club head, so you do not feel as if you’re swinging around a brick on the end of a stick. At impact, you can definitely feel when you have hit the center of the club face.

Ok, so the Instruction DVD suggests that you hit 20 balls with the Power Hitter, and then 10 with your own Driver. So I did. Picked up the Nickent 4DX driver and wow, it felt like a feather. Couple practice swings…can’t even really feel the club, it’s verylight. Couple swings at the ball, god knows where they went. But then I started feeling the weight of the driver again. Pow, couple absolutely crushed balls out on the range. I’m really not even sure how far they travelled, they were so far past where I normally hit the ball.

I go through the routine again, 20 Power Hitters, 10 of my own. I ended up hitting 60 Power Hitters, and 30 of my own balls in this first session. To say I was sweaty would be a gross understatement. I looked like I ran through a Florida thunderstorm. First session, I am pleased. It definitely keeps you on plane, and forces you to get your core involved. You cannot manipulate the club head with your hands or smaller muscles and hope to expect to hit this thing.

Overall the Momentus Power Hitter does everything that it is supposed to do. Just don’t expect to fix all of your swing faults.
