Review of the Integra Quadratic Square Driver

The main benefit of the square shape is the substantial increase of its moment of inertia (MOI). In layman's terms, MOI refers to the resistance to twisting of the clubhead when struck. Let's say that you hit the ball with the toe of your driver. A low MOI clubhead will twist on impact and send the ball way off to the right (for RH players). In contrast, a high MOI clubhead will twist a much less and you should be getting a lot closer to your intended target line. In other words, the higher the MOI is the more forgiving the club will be on misshits. The square shape design increases both horizontal and vertical stability which in turn results in a very high MOI, thus assuring a long and accurate shot.

Let's go and play...

When I hit the Integra Quadratic Square Driver for the first time the sound almost knocked me off my feet. This driver makes an incredible sound - almost like a small explosion - and attracts some looks just for that, particularly on the driving range.
The next thing I noticed was that the balls stayed significantly longer airborne, thus resulting in longer drives. During testing I had my fair share of miss-hits as well, and it became very obvious that this driver is more forgiving than anything I have hit before. The other testers had the same impression, and we agreed that this new shape of drivers will stay as 'the next big thing' in golf equipment history. The square drivers will definitely change the way beginners and average players will play the game.
If you are a player who has problems to consistently hit the center of the club face, resulting in spraying tee-shots left and right, you owe it to yourself to give these square clubs a try. They will change the way you play golf, and you will hit the fairway more often.

Our verdict

The club with its square head looks most impressive at address, a real confidence booster. The Integra Quadratic Square Driver, being as forgiving as one can wish for, clearly elevates the level of play for a 'not-so-consistent' player to the next level. It is well put together - including quality shaft and grip, and priced at $99, great value for money.
