On average, no one was 10 yards longer than their previous longest driver tested thus far. While some did approach that 10 extra yards that PowerBilt promised us. You’ll probably recognize most of our testers names on the chart below.

We also asked for their opinion on the overall value of the club, as well as the quality and performance of PowerBilt products to the industry as a whole.Ī subset of testers including golfers with low, middle, and high handicaps, was asked to participate in more thorough tests where data was collected for the shots they hit with the PowerBilt Airforce One N7 Tour and MOI drivers.įor full details of MyGolfSpy’s testing methodology, see our testing details page. With our simulator’s data capture capabilities disabled so that distance and accuracy wouldn’t influence our subjective opinion polling, we asked several golfers to provide us feedback on the look, sound, and feel of the clubs. Testing took place at Tark’s Indoor Golf Club a state-of-the-art golf training, club fitting and repair facility located in Saratoga Springs, NY. I then taped the crown and sole with Ghost Tape to protect the clubs during our testing process and finally, we have golfers hit the product, and provide their opinions, and of course, provide us with actual performance data.Īll performance testing was done using PGA TOUR Simulators, powered by 3Trac, from aboutGolf. Like we often do when we receive a new club, we tested the specifications against the manufacturers stated specs.

Fortunately for us, PowerBilt sent us two of the N7 drivers ( Tour, and High MOI/standard) to test for ourselves. Of course, when I’m done laughing, I’m going to want to see if there is anything to it (I may be a skeptic, but I’m skeptic willing to be proven wrong). Tell me that 10 extra yards comes from Nitrogen, and I’m going to laugh out loud. Either they’re stretching the truth a bit, or they’re engaging in some other type of deception (decreasing lofts, increasing shaft lengths, etc.). Did I mention the heads are filled with Nitrogen?Īnytime somebody guarantees 10 yards I start thinking one of 2 things is going on. PowerBilt claims that by pairing an ultra-thin face with a head full of Nitrogen, they can maximize the trampoline effect, which leads to guaranteed distance increases of 10 to 20 yards over your current driver.

That’s right, in case you missed it The PowerBilt Airforce One N7 is the 2nd generation of clubs from PowerBilt to be “Nitrogen Charged”. Now that we got that out of the way, let’s talk about the proverbial pink elephant in the room. The short of it, PowerBilt made its bones a long time ago, and though many newcomers to the game might not know the brand like MacGregor, the company, despite an admittedly smaller footprint than it once had, it still in business and still making a quality product. Golfers who don’t know the PowerBilt brand, maybe familiar with Bionic gloves, which also falls under the same corporate umbrella.

Any kid who has ever picked up a bat, or a hockey stick is familiar with sister brands Louisville Slugger, TPX, TPS, or Lousville Hockey. Their clubs have been in the bags for 8 major victories, as well as victories in over 100 PGA and LPGA events. After all, The Hammer is nothing short of the worst driver I’ve ever hit in my life, whereas, PowerBilt has been a respected part of the golf industry for nearly a century. Now I don’t mean to suggest for one second that the PowerBilt Air Force One should be greeted with the same contempt as the Hammer. But when you advertise an actual golf club, and your commercial spot comes right on the heals of those despicably awful spots for The Hammer, well…I’ll be honest, it’s a hard sell getting me to take your seriously, and from my conversations with other golfers, I’m not alone. You can probably even convince me that your training aid is worth buying too. “The PowerBilt Air Force One N7 is the longest driver we’ve tested thus far in 2010!” The PowerBilt Air Force One N7 Review!Īs I discussed when I reviewed the Solus FC-10 wedge, I’m inherently suspicious of any golf club for which the only advertising I see comes in half hour blocks on the The Golf Channel.
