NCG TESTS: Cleveland Classic 290 driver

NCG TESTS: Cleveland Classic 290 driver

NCG's test team review all the latest kit independently. Find out what they thought of the Cleveland Classic 290 driver...
 

WHAT WE THOUGHT

“I like the tall, retro head – it looks fantastic – but I just couldn’t get on with the shaft. It felt very inconsistent.” JaW
“The feel is lovely, but I got a very loopy flight from the shaft. You’d imagine that, with a proper shaft in it, this would be fantastic.” DM
“The lightweight shaft makes it hard to know where the head is. Better players needing more yards will love this.” JoW
