The BombTech Grenade Driver is one the most powerful drivers on the market today that is made by a company that you may have never of before. So who is BombTech? BombTech Golf is one of a small group of independent golf manufacturers making a splash in the golf industry by directly competing with the major golf brands. As you know golf professionals are paid millions of dollars a year to use the golf clubs of the major brands. This cost is then later passed onto the consumer when we purchase these clubs.
BombTech bucks this trend by providing high-performance golf clubs for almost half of the price by selling directly to consumers. By not spending money on marketing or sponsorship BombTech is able to sell a high-quality club for a fraction of the price. So, the real question is can a golf produced by a small independent golf manufacturer really compete with the major golf club brands? Let’s find out.
Key Features
- Made of hardened titanium, BombTech offers the new Grenade Driver in two lofts, 9 degrees and 10.5 degrees, and has 4 shaft options: Senior (50g), Regular (52g), Stiff (54g) and X-Stiff (56g).
- The new cavity profile positions the Center of Gravity slightly a little lower and deeper, this has been found to give a golfer more vertical hitting area for high launches and lower spin drives.
- The Grenade 2 Driver was developed with feedback received on the first generation of the Grenade, and the original research performed by the University of Vermont. The all-new Grenade 2 Driver now has a 50% increase in the aerodynamics than the original version.

Design and Technology
The BombTech Grenade Driver has been designed to give a player the two things most desired in a driver: high launch and low spin. If a golfer is able to maximize these things, then they will be sure to find themselves having greater distance off of the tee. This breakthrough is accomplished by the optimization of the center of gravity by use of an external weight. Additionally, the G20’s large multi-thickness face produces greater ball speed and an increase in MOI allowing for greater forgiveness.
The biggest question I had going into this review was what PING plugged with this driver: high launching with low spin. I usually hit the ball a bit too low and thought that my spin rate was fine. But after hitting the G20 at the driving range, I found that the ball took off much higher, and dropped ever so slightly. My other concern was that due to the launch characteristics, I was afraid I would lose some of my accuracies. However, I realized that my concerns were unfounded, and my accuracy stayed the same as when I hit my normal driver. If I had one knock on the G20 it is that I didn’t get the normal feedback as I have with other drivers in the past.
Don’t let the an unknown name scare you, the BombTech Grenade Driver is an amazing club that can easily stack up against some of the major golf club brands. If you are looking for a great club without any gadgetry that will simply get the job done, then this “game improvement driver” may be the club for you.
- A solid performing club, that will really stand out in the crowd
- When solidly hit, the club is really loud at impact
- Half the price of major brand name golf drivers
- Hard to identify problems, due to low feedback on contact
- No adjustability, unlike other drivers on the market
- Hits a little high for a 10.5 degree driver

GX7 Golf Club
The GX7 Golf Club is amazing little club, even though it is “As Seen on TV”. We all know that the hardest part of golf is being consistent, especially when we are hitting off of the tee box. That is why the pros are the pros, and we are amateurs. But have you ever wondered if the reason why you are not consistent when hitting off the tee box is because you are using the same golf club that the pros use, and not a golf club made for amateurs. Well this is the exact theory behind the GX7 Golf Club. A golf club made for amateurs that provides the hitting consistency of a pro. So if you can get over the fact that the GX7 is a “As Seen on TV” Golf Club, you might be amazed by what this little club can do.
