Do not exceed maximum recommended weights. Too much weight can reduce swing speed and over stress a shaft.
Longer driver lengths can also be cut down to standard or shorter lengths for golfers who are uncomfortable swinging a longer club and re-weighted according to the recommendations above.. Drivers are cut down from the grip end which can be performed by any experienced club maker or golf shop.

Higher Trajectory - Place the heaviest weight in the rear weight port

Set Up for Success - How to Hit a Draw
The Offset UltraSpeed Black ION makes it easy to help eliminate Fades, slices and pushes and turn them into straighter drives or even a powerful draw. Simply implement the correct set up at address and follow the recommended swing keys.
The golf swing is like a door that opens and closes while swinging around a hinge (your spine). Implementing the following swing keys can correct a slice or push together with the unique design of the Offset UltraSpeed Black ION:
- address the ball with your hands and arms slightly forward so that the top line of the driver head is square to slightly open to the target line.
- Take your backswing while allowing your right arm to fold so that it is positioned close to body
- From the start of the downswing continue to hold your right arm close to your body so that that the club approaches the ball from the inside.
- Use just 75% of your power to swing the club back and through (this maintains proper tempo and timing and keeps the muscles more relaxed)
- At impact the offset will square the club face or slightly close it to provide a straight drive or draw.
