If you or your customer happen to be regularly missing fairways off the tee then the Acer XDS Insider Thriver head is for you! Acer took the best aspects of a driver head and a 3 wood and created the best of both worlds!
A driver head is about 3 times the size of a #3 wood but has a higher moment of inertia, making it more forgiving on less-than-perfect shots. Plus with a driver head, you have a large thin face that produces the spring-like effect right up to the legal limit giving more distance. However, a 3 wood head is of course more lofted and this cuts down on side spin, resulting in straighter shots, and the shorter length helps you to have more control of the swing.
Why not just use a driver head and make it short? Well, it would just be too light to effectively control without some painstaking head weighting. The Acer XDS Insider Thriver club head weighs 10 grams more than a driver head and this allows for a shorter, more controllable length that now has the right amount of weight. Plus, Acer placed this added weight where it creates an even higher MOI! Combine the higher loft (14 degree) of nearly a normal #3 fairway wood and what you now have is a "thriver" that can effectively be controlled off the tee!
The shape of this head and contour on the crown was especially designed to encourage the golfer to swing the driver on an inside-out rather than an outside-in swing path. Plus, the XDS Insider Thriver's internal weighting produces a draw-enhancing ball flight on center impact. The masking on the crown, using Acer's exclusive "Square Optical Alignment System", disguises the somewhat closed face angle to give a more square appearance so the golfer can just trust their natural golf swing.
When a standard driver goes long and wrong, and the 3 wood doesn’t give you the distance you want and need, the Acer XDS Insider “Thriver” is the one club head you have been searching for!
