As an aspiring long driver, Shawn Allan realized that he didn’t have the physical tools he needed to win, so he went searching for more firepower in the form of a better driver. He started sketching ideas for driver heads, as I’m sure many of us have, but then he did something unique: he put his money where his mouth is and actually built that driver. That driver is known today as Agent Orange and the company is Sinister Golf. Though its design was inspired by long drive contests, Shawn believes that Agent Orange also has a lot to offer the average weekend golfer as well.
The first thing that you notice is that Agent Orange is a really appropriate name for this club. It is orange all over the place. For some people, that’s a deal breaker, for others it’s just a bit of fun. I have to believe that Sinister Golf knew the orange would be polarizing, but in this highly competitive golf marketplace, it’s go big or go home. Standing out is a must for a small company.
Now onto the shape: it’s beautiful. It’s compact and traditional with a moderately deep face. If this was black with a TaylorMade logo on it, the TMAG fan boys would be blaring “The Ruler’s Back” from every available speaker. Alas, it is orange and not TMAG, so no one (except me) will give it its due. Such is the state of the golf industry.
Variable. After much deliberation, that’s the best one-word description. Anywhere on the middle or lower portion of the face, Agent Orange sounds great. It’s a deep, low-pitched sound that isn’t too loud. However, more often than not, I hit the ball high on the face. The sound there is markedly higher pitched and louder. While I prefer the lower sound, neither is bad, and it does give you a very clear indication of where you hit the ball on the face.
If you’re not afraid to stand out from the crowd, Agent Orange is definitely worth a look.I think it’s a particularly good choice for better players who want to shape their tee shots both ways.
