Featuring the same radical square design as the original Mantara, the XL version is broader from front-to-back (8mm), but slightly shallower (4mm) to retain the 460cc limit. This moves the center of gravity not only further back, but lower as well. By precisely positioning discretionary weight in the outer corners of the clubhead, the Mantara XL Driver produces one of the highest moment of inertia drivers on the market. This maximum resistance to twisting yields extremely long and forgiving drives. The easy to align aerodynamic profile is constructed from a 6-4 titanium face and a thin, lightweight titanium crown, skirt and soleplate. See first hand how you can find more fairways off of the tee as a way of lowering your score.
"I just wanted to let you know I received my new Mantara XL yesterday and immediately went to the driving range for a quick test. I was quite surprised how long and straight I was hitting this driver. I ordered it with an Acer shaft which is 1 1/2 inch longer than I have ever used. I am glad I did this because it increased my driving length at least 15 yds. The teaching pro at the range tried the club and said he hit it as well as his $399 driver. Just wanted to let you know how satisfied I am, not only with the driver, but also the Mantara 3 wood I have also been using." - Glenn, 12 handicap, Greenwood, IN
"I didn't expect a driver of this quality. I have hit the Sumo2 a few times and the XL Mantara has nothing to be shy about in comparison. The noise is deafening and very peculiar, much like the Sumo2. There was a lot of wind on Sunday, but the feel was awesome, and the length impressive for me. I couldn't see my balls land...This club is a great value for the quality." - Freddy, 15 handicap, St. Charles, MO
"I'm a senior citizen who has enjoyed playing the game of golf for many years, most recently purchased the Mantara XL driver. It looks different, it sounds different but does it do the job, I have gained 30 plus yards on my drives and have found the center of the fairway better than 95% of the time. My playing partners have nicknamed the Mantara XL the 'BUS' and the 5 wood the 'MINI BUS.' I am really pleased with these clubs....." - AC, 9 handicap, Dana Point, CA
"This driver seems to be a copy of the Nike SUMO, be it that it is less than half the price. And it offers the same quality, from what I've experienced. I must say that I only tried the SUMO in the shop, but the Acer is utterly forgiving, still producing reasonable shots if the ball comes off the heel of the clubface. That's its greatest quality." - 18 handicapper, Amsterdam, The Netherlands
"Not only is the original great, but I added the 3, 5, 7 and my game has improved is if I were a 60 year old! Is so easy to align to my target every time." - Bill, 83 year old 6 handicap, Littleton NH
"Always thought that the new square shaped drivers were designed for the high handicap player that had trouble finding the center of the club face. Also I felt that the workability of the golf ball would be reduced for the skilled player. I was wrong in both cases. I put one of these together this past Friday and put it to test the next morning and was very pleased with the results." - 3 handicapper, Stirling Heights. MI
