If you happen to be missing fairways off the tee on a regular basis, then the Acer XDS Insider Thriver is for you! Acer took the best aspects of a driver and a 3-wood and created the best of both worlds!
A driver is about 3 times the size of a #3 wood but has a higher moment of inertia, making it more forgiving on off-center shots. Plus, you have a large thin face that produces the spring-like effect right up to the legal limit for more distance. However, a 3 wood is more lofted and this cuts down on side spin, resulting in straighter shots, plus the shorter length helps you to have more control.
Why not just cut down your driver? Well, it would be too light to effectively control. The Acer XDS Insider Thriver club head weighs 10 grams more than a normal driver and this allows for a shorter, more controllable length that now has the right amount of club weight. Plus, Acer placed this added weight in a location that produces an even higher MOI! Combine the higher loft (14 degree) of a stronger lofted #3 fairway wood and what you now have is a "thriver" you can control off the tee!
The shape of the head and contour on the crown was specifically designed to encourage the golfer to swing the driver on an inside-out swing path. Plus, the XDS Insider’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 closed face angle to give a square appearance so one can just trust their natural golf swing.
When a standard driver goes long (but wrong) and your 3 wood doesn’t give you the distance you want, the Acer XDS Insider “Thriver” edition is the one club you have been searching for!
