The PowerPod II
Jim Flood Design / PowerPod Driver
Overview
Jim Flood, a man who has been called the Thomas Edison of modern golf, has developed over 50 golf-related products in the past 35 years that have revolutionized the game of golf forever. Flood developed and introduced the first graphite golf shaft and founded Aldila Inc. He also founded Odyssey and invented the White Hot insert. With his latest creation, the PowerPod II, Flood has designed what he is calling his best invention yet.
* Slice Proof Design – Patent pending shape and 45 degree shaft angle makes Jim Flood’s new creation the world’s first slice proof driver.
* World’s Best Performing Driver - Independent robotic tests prove the PowerPod II to significantly increase distance (up to 7 yards), raises the smash factor and lowers spin rates by 13% over leading competitors.
* PowerShelf Technology – The PowerShelf in the back of the clubhead raises the CG for optimal ball flight and spin rates, and creates the perfect storm for increased distance.
* Advanced construction – The clubhead features a one-piece casting integrating the face and hosel for greater impact stability and a forged body for strength.
* Smash Factor - A measure of energy transfer from the clubhead to the golf ball. The average smash factor for Pro-line drivers is 1.3-1.4. Independent tests have shown the PowerPod’s smash factor to be 1.45-1.5, giving the Pod an extra 15-20 yards off the tee for every swing speed.Trapezoidal Face – Extremely deep face design creates an expanded sweet spot that puts the entire height of the face into play. This allows the driver head to offer different launch angles off of the Vertical SweetSpot depending on how high the driver is tee’d up.
* Jumbo Sized Face- 450 CC head features one of the largest driver faces around with a measurement of 2.5 inches deep, 4.25 inches wide.
* Reduced Toe Weighting- Standard driver designs have too much weight on the toe of the club head, creating a propensity to slice. With reduced toe weighting and an optimal CG placement, the ball has no option but to go straight with no slice and little dispersion between shots.
I have the original PowerPod from the 70's! It is a pretty neat club.
