And by adding 6 grams low and forward in the clubhead, we moved the CG lower and more forward than in any other Air Force One driver. Shot dispersion is also the tightest ever in our drivers. In fact, now the trampoline effect is up to the USGA maximum limit. “This new amount of nitrogen generates a tremendous trampoline effect for increased ball speed. “We reduced the nitrogen pressure to 80 pounds, for better impact feel,” says Ross Kvinge, President of PowerBilt.
The clubface is now 5 mm deeper than the previous version, which catches the ball at impact slightly longer and combines with the nitrogen inside the clubhead to create reduced spin and more distance.

Powerbilt, an old name in sporting goods since 1916 and specifically golf equipment who used to produce high quality persimmon wood drivers has rentered the golf market with Air Force One DFX nitrogen charged driver line.ĭFX stands for Deep Face Extreme. 820 coefficient of restitution limits but that hasn’t stopped engineers at OEM’s from trying to come up with new and better technologies.
Many traditionalists felt the horse had gotten well away from the barn before the rulers acted on setting 460 cubic centimeter size and. The introduction of the Callaway Big Bertha and the Great Big Bertha and the trampoline effect of driver face recoil caused the ruling bodies of golf, the United States Golf Association and the Royal and Ancient Golf Club to institute limits in head size and trampoline effect, a/k/a coefficient of restitution. Titanium allowed driver heads to increase in volume and to thin out the driver faces. Titanium is a space age metal developed by the Russians for space craft that has the strength of steel at less than half the weight. Although the Pittsburgh Persimmon was cast steel, it was the introduction of titanium heads that really sent driver distances off the charts.
