23:06 – Summary & Outro

As we promised, it’s time for some new verse old. So, we’ve got the old T200 versus the new T250 today. Same specs, same shafts. We got Tom swinging at his normal swing speed, which now is not super slow anymore, unfortunately for you guys. It’s about 87 mph. And then I jump in and do a slow swing speed as well around low 70. So, we’re comparing them at two different swing speeds for you guys, taking you through all the data. As always, we do touch on look, sound, feel, performance, in-depth dive, T200 versus T250. Let me know what you think in the comments below. Let’s jump in. Okay, so we’re going to start off with the old model. So, the old T200. They’re both obviously going to be set up. Same shaft, same line angle. We got on two flat standard loft, which obviously hasn’t changed. New versus old model. So, we’re just going to get a baseline with this. Get some good ones, get some bad ones, get overall data set to look at, and then we’ll move into the new model to see how it compares. So over to you, Tommy boy. Lovely start. Yeah, it looks thin. Maybe too bad. It sounded all right. Get him in the bag. Yeah, the strike feels good. It’s very very up, but that’s me. Yeah. Yeah, they feel really nice again. Yeah, very good strike. Consistent. Like I say, you’re just getting a bit back on the lofty side, aren’t you? I mean, there you’re not really taking off any loft on that particular shot. So, launches at 24, spins at 62. Lot of launch, quite a lot of spin. Peak height at 113, 51% angle. Yeah, never going to have a problem stopping that. That really was a thin. That is a bad one. That again, thin to win. I mean, yeah, the ball flight comes down dramatically like we would expect to see on a thin strike, but I mean, what a result that is. Yeah, that was again uber uber uber. That was probably lower than the last one. Was definitely lower than the last one, even though the strike shows pretty much the same on on quad there, but launched down at 16, spin at 6 and a half. But I mean, again, a 148 carry down the line, you’ve lost half a club. The reality of that on course is you’re pretty much still on green really. Sounded a bit more solid. Yeah, that was a nice strike. Yep, better shot. Very good strike that sort of 8 N mil lows. Good place to be living. Bit of a better swing there from you again. Face slightly close. We see a slightly pulled draw. Hitting four down. Took off a tiny bit of loft. So the launch comes down fractionally. Still a bit on the high side, but comes down a little bit. 22 and a half. 6,200 backspin, 158 carry. Still, you’d never have to worry about height with this club, would you? 110 peak, 50 descent. Sounded good. That sounded nice. Yeah, that was nice. Again, just controlled the swing a little bit better. Beautiful shot. Yeah. I I mean again maybe it was a groove low but it was pretty good. You’re right you do I mean zero path from zero face there hitting forward down. Yeah you’re just not taking off enough loft really is is the main issue isn’t it? But yeah 22 and a half launch 66 backspin 156 carry. I mean you’re kind of living in and around the mid50s with that on a good one aren’t you? And sort of low to mid600 hours spin I would say. It’s a little healy that one. I mean, again, it’s done really well, isn’t it? Yeah. A little high heel on 59 carry left side of the green. I mean, it it’s a good performing club, isn’t it? It’s very forgiving. Yeah. I mean, I’ve hit a multitude of strikes there and not missed a huge amount of greens. Really? No. No. I think there’s literally only been one that was slightly pulled slightly long left, but every other I mean, you can see that grouping down there. Really good. So, we got 22 launch. We’ve got 63 backspin. We’ve got 154 carry with a five yard front to back standard deviation left to right. Very, very tight in all honesty. Uh, so 154 average with the very best carry being around 159. And yeah, the mid one the best ones we were seeing sort of like low to mid sixes. So, I feel like that’s a very fair representation. We saw a couple of good ones, couple of bad ones. So, it’ be interesting to see now if we jump into the new 250 how that stacks up before we get into the hitting top line. Can you notice any difference? Yeah, I think the T250 is definitely a little bit slimmer or certainly appears to be. Um, the blade length looks a tad longer. Yeah, I think that maybe just draws the eye out, makes it look a little bit slimmer on the top line, but I mean they’re both really good looking golf clubs. That is what he said when we went to WoW, isn’t it? They made the blade length. I think it’s like 1 or 1.5 mm longer. And that just then appears to slim out that top line fractionally. And it does look a little bit a little bit slimmer. Not dramatically, but it does look a little bit slimmer, doesn’t it? Yeah, it does. And I think obviously moving to the the single piece construction to me just that really has nailed the looks for me for for the T250. It just looks so much better from the back. Yeah. Classy. Like the finish. So yeah, I think for me it’s a definite upgrade on the looks. Oh yeah, 100%. That’s the biggest thing from all of these irons really, isn’t it? the 350 and 250 compared to the old models. Getting rid of that back plate, singular construction. The finish is much nicer, cleaner, top line, a little bit neater. So, yeah, I mean, we’ll see. Performance-wise, I’m not expecting to see a dramatic difference, right? But definitely from that looks perspective, that is a huge upgrade. That sounded better. Yeah, that was a little bit of a better swing. Yeah, that’s a good shot that go in the hole. Yeah, almost zero path, zero face. It’s very similar to some of the others we had with the old model. Again, not really taking off any loft. We can see dynamic loft there of 30° and that again is 30.5°. 23 launch, 59 backspin, so maybe a hair lower spin, but not a lot, is it? 157 carry down the line. Peak height 109, descent 50. Yeah. I mean, there or thereabouts, really, isn’t it? Little pulley. Good strike though. Yeah, it was a better strike. Yeah, it was a little better strike. Expect that to jump a few yards, you know, closing down the face shuts down that loft. So, yeah, I mean, a face three close and all of a sudden we go from a loft of effectively 30 down to 26. That’s 3 degrees less dynamic loft a lot due to that face closure. The carry jumps a bit to 162. Still spam really well, though. Well, that’s interesting because that I had a couple of those with the with the old model. really thin. Wow. Yeah, it’s done well. But arguably, we had maybe a couple slightly worse than that, like maybe in that area with the old model. But again, for that strike, very low 154 carry down the line, like you can’t really ask for much more than that as a result, can you? It’s done very well. That sounded pretty good. Yeah, it sounded lovely. I just can’t control loft today. But yeah, I feel so good. Felt really nice that one. Well, well, touching on that, I mean, we’ll look at these numbers quickly because that would be an interesting one to see. Yeah, well, in fairness, it was a couple mil higher in the face. And I mean, these are the the little things, right? I mean, we touched on it in the last video where we went to woven where we didn’t have control of looking at numbers, but there we can see that was only 2 mil over some of the others with the old model that was sort of 8 n 10 mil low. That has a dramatic impact on spin. So, even though we look at that at 5500 and we go, “Oh, that that’s a much lower spin head.” Like, it’s not. It’s just the fact you struck at 6 millm higher in the face. All these things really matter to the performance. But 23 launch, 55 spin, 160 carry down the line, nice high ball fly again, 109 peak height. Yeah, it’s uh not a dramatic out and out difference, but touching on that feel. Any different? I think it’s very marginal, but yeah, I’d say it’s a probably a tad softer feel from back here. It sounds similar. I say maybe a fraction less clicky but it’s not like night and day different is it you know so I think yeah the biggest thing is just going to be the look more than anything really isn’t it I will say one of the things we can’t really test obviously when we went to woven they were saying about the new groove technology that they’ve implemented seven up in the shorter irons to help retain spin and all this kind of stuff and and tweak a little bit of the longer irons to improve launch a little bit and stuff like that I mean a we we can’t really get outside at the moment and test out of rough and stuff with quad or Trackman really you would We don’t have a Trackman, so testing that for us is very difficult. The long irons, we can’t order any at the moment because they’re not actually out as as we’re filming this now. They’re not out. So, we got the demo heads that they send us that are all seven irons, but I can’t actually physically order long irons. So, a lot of what they kind of say is going to be better. We can’t really test anyway. So, that is a little caveat in there, a little bit about indoor testing. You know, we do we do the best we can, but it’s not always going to be perfect. Sounded good. Yeah, that was a nice strike. I’m looking for that one kind of like 8 n mil low like we had with the old model just to see like the exact comparison if you know what I mean. Yeah. If anything with this one we’ve either had it slightly lower or slightly higher. So again slightly higher in the face. Spin is a little bit lower and that why I’m just intrigued to see that one that is exactly the same. But again it’s a great shot 160 carry. It appears like we’re getting a little bit more out of this one. The majority of that though is coming from that lower spin which could be to do with you just hitting a little bit higher in the face. That sounded good. Yeah, that was nice. I will say it’s also again, don’t know how much of it’s you or the club, but it does seem slightly more leftsided. That’s an interesting I that’s just me. You reckon? Yeah, I wouldn’t say that’s the club cuz it’s quite consistent. Like everything is hitting that left side. Like there’s only one ball that’s ended up right side of that line. Whereas again with the uh old model, it was straighter. So we averaged 04 face closed. with the old T200 averaging two degrees face closed with the new new T250 and that’s quite a consistent pattern. So interesting. Yeah, we’re seeing it definitely ending up a little bit more left. That sounded nice. Yeah, just feel like you It’s like with anything, isn’t it? After a while, you sort of find a bit of a rhythm. Yeah. Better 5 mil low 57. I I do definitely think it’s slightly lower spin. Yeah, I think so, too. I mean, again, that’s 5700 backspin there. Again, a really good contact from you. Efficiency up at 1.33. And that did jump a little bit. 163 carry. I don’t know what the best ball speed we had out of the old T200 was 113 and a half, 114. Um, and to be fair, that 114 one did carry 162. And in fairness, I mean, if we look at that one there, I mean, this is the old T200. Pretty good strike. Was 6 mm low. Y face fractionally closed. So, it finished 11 yards offline, 162 carry, 5600 backspin. That one we just hit there with the new model, 5 mm low, fractionally closed face, ended seven yards offline, carried 163, 5,700 backspin. So, actually, again, like this is why I like looking hit for hit, strike for strike, face for face. Yeah, you know that one yard difference in that and that’s only 100 rev spin difference when face is similar, striker is similar. So it’s just yeah really interesting to see good comparable shots, isn’t it? Just think it’s so important like obviously we try and do these kind of shotto-shot comparisons because we know just how much influence that has. Strike face a little bit closed, a little bit open. Yeah. And like you know and you can see there like maybe we’re thinking oh this is slight lower spin but actually you put a sideby-side comparison with the same face the same strike it’s like very close all of a sudden. I think the variable then comes down to the human where you’ve been hitting it a little bit higher on the face. So so far we are averaging 57 spin with this compared to 63 with the old model. And and yeah but maybe it does spin a little bit less but I don’t think it’s much. That’s better. That was cleaner. Still a bit towy though. I think it’s better from a contact perspective. Oh yeah. Yeah. Cleaner but just towy. That’s done so well for a toe. How far towy that is. It’s flown 159. But almost like just that like the right height again 6 mil kind of waiting for that 67 mil. But even that for a little toe when it span up at 61. So again I think that the vast majority of it was you hitting it a little high in the face which is what really is kind of having a big effect on that spin dropping more so than the than the club to be honest. Ben clean. Yeah. That was a nice strike. Just a tiny bit. Pulley did jump. Just got to the left side of it. But I said as soon as you strike it clean though, it is going to jump, isn’t it? I was catching them a little hair heavy. And then uh so yeah, ball speed, we did see a couple more miles an hour coming from the new T250. Launch virtually the same spin on average 500 revs lower with the new model, which the additional ball speed with the lower spin averaged out to 5 yards longer. Be interested to see club data. Yeah, that strike point is going to be having an effect. Swing speed was identical to be fair or.3 of a mile an hour difference. That wasn’t having an effect. Loft at impact. Again, only half a degree difference. So, that’s not really having that much of an effect either. You got a tiny bit more efficiency from the new T250. Again, I would say it’s probably going to be more strike related than anything. Um, angle of attack path. And then the face was fractionally more closed with the new T250. You know, we can see there that the dispersion was a little bit more left. Was that you? Was that the club? I don’t know. But it was consistent. Be interesting to see when I hit. Does that pattern continue? So, that’s the data we saw for you at least. Anyway, so now if I jump in and do some slower swings and see for me, does that pattern continue? It’s a really good strike. It’s pretty good. It’s on the number. It’s about what we expect. So, we’re going to be trying to swing low7s. And obviously, we’ll try and make sure it’s fair across the board for both these models, but yeah, that was not a bad strike to start with. That sounded way better. Yeah, it was probably a couple of mil higher. Still maybe a groo. It was clean, but it was good. Yeah, strikes pretty good. 10 mil low. Yeah. So, maybe a hair low, but yeah. Um, but pretty good again. Launching at 20.6. Spinning. It’s spinning a bit on the low side, isn’t it? 46 for that strike. Efficiency is fantastic. Yeah. I mean, this is going to be polar opposite to you though, isn’t it? You know, you’re you’re taking off. Well, I’m inside. I’m shallow and at much lower speed. All of those three things are going to be much lower spin. Yes. And if we look at the ball Yeah. So, 41 and a half peak uh descent, 68 peak heights. So, I mean, this this I mean obviously like you said, we don’t have the new T250 launch spec, but this sort of person would be the ideal candidate for a T250 launch spec. 100% like 100%. So, we’ll probably do that video. Stay tuned. We’ll do that when we get it. Unfortunately, it’s been delayed a few months. I don’t know why, but we don’t have it at the moment, but we will do that video when we get it. Felt really good. Just open a little bit open, but it’s hit the number. Take it. Really good. That was really nice. Yeah, that sounded good. I swung that maybe a mile an hour faster, but it’s just like it looks knuckly, doesn’t it? Knuckly. Yeah, that felt clean and yeah, 47 spin. Yeah, it’s really good strike left. Not bad. But again, little drawy with that closed face to the path. But yeah, that that’s now starting to knuckle, isn’t it? Yeah. Yeah, it’s a hot flight. 41 and a half, 71 ft then. So, yeah, that is that knuckly one. Yeah. Almost shanked that. Yeah, I was going to say that’s a couple in a row there. Almost. Uh, it’s a good one to see though, actually. It was very low heel, similar swing speed. Yeah. 31 carry. I mean, that’s done all right. It’s done really well, isn’t it? When you think again like sort of that you’re aiming for a 135 flag, the top line number we’ve seen really is at like, you know, about 140 when you really flushed one, turned it over. So, yeah, that’s still kind of reaching front edge of the green, isn’t it? Yeah. Yeah, that was a good one. So, yeah, look at that efficiency. 1.36. We said this before as well, haven’t we? slow swing speeds like efficiency just seems to just go through the roof. Especially if someone takes a little bit of loft off. I mean, I’m only taking off threeish three degrees. You’re doing a good job of that actually because normally you can really squeeze it. So at these low low speed tests, it’s not always a good thing. So that’s good. Yeah. Um yeah, getting that spin up and around 5,000 launching 20 and a half degrees from a really good strike. Yeah, like that 137 number. It’s about where it is, isn’t it? Yeah, I think that’s probably a fair represent. It’s like going to be high fours, fives really for this. I would say carrying around that mid130s is probably fair. Yeah. And again that descent angle 42 and a half 72 peak height. So it’s on the hotter side probably a bit hotter than what we’d like. Yeah. Um so yeah so going into T250 it will be interesting to see with that was lower spin for me if that starts to drop down then maybe that really comes down as well. So, so as an average ball speed, uh, 98, uh, launch angle 21, which is kind of where we’d want it at this speed. Uh, 47 spin, so definitely on the hotter side of where we would probably want. Um, and carry 135. And we were aiming for 135. Um, so we did a pretty good job there. Delivery wise, again, your strike pretty good. Efficiency very high, which is what we touched on a little bit earlier in one of those shots. Do tend to get that at lower speeds. Pretty good for a 7 I know 135. It’s pretty solid. Yeah, really good. Um, yeah. And then sort of head speed 72.7. Trying to aim for around that kind of low 70s. Dynamic loft 27 degrees. So, taking off a couple of degrees of loft, which is fine. Uh, yeah. Everything else pretty good really. Pretty um, yeah, pretty pretty good delivery. Yeah, it does look slimmer. I prefer the look of that. Noticeably I it’s not dramatic, but when you put that down, it does look longer and it does look slimmer, which I actually think looks really nice. That was really nice straight out the gate. Sounded good. Pretty perfect to be honest. See, I think as well that did sound different. It It almost sounded louder to me. Did I think it sounded louder? Yeah. But it also sounded um less high pitched. Yes. To me. Yes, I agree with that. Like louder, crackier, but not clicky like duller crack. Duller crack. Yeah, definitely loud. Yeah, it’s exactly what I heard. Good one out the gate, mate. So about that 73 mph which is what we’ve been aiming for. 137 efficiency which is like stupidly high but it’s good. Good. We’re solid. Um 140 carry. So yeah on the upper end again spinning at four five 20 and a half launch from a good strike the moment. That’s looking pretty similar isn’t it. That again was really quite nice actually. Sounded good. That looks a little knuckly to me though. It does. I do just think it’s that little bit lower spin. I do. Again that felt really clean. There’s like no matt interaction really. Again, seven mil low, five mil tow, which apparently is where I’m hitting it slightly toes side very consistently. Y just Yeah. Yeah. I think launch is very similar. It’s exactly what we saw with you. Launch was basically the same. Yep. Very similar. Spin’s just two 300 revs, maybe 400 revs max lower. That was like really good. Like really good. Yeah. Yeah. I’ve had a few shots with this now where I’ve just been that strike almost perfect like contact. Yeah, it was almost perfect. Just slightly to living a little bit, but it felt really clean again. Efficiency really good. Just just Yeah, spin down. That’s a groove low. Be interesting to see what that does. Yeah, still good result. Yeah, absolutely. You that span at 49 again a groove low you expect that to spin up that span about the same as the the good middle one with the T200. So again everything is leading to it being at that that touch lower spin does feel nicer. I do like the feel of it. It is definitely louder but it does feel I think it does feel a bit more solid. Yes. Whereas that the old model I think felt a bit more hollow. Yeah. Yeah. I completely agree. I think when I when I mentioned it in the video we did recently with them I said it was almost like a a duller crunchier feel but it is still quite loud. Yeah. So quite confidence inspiring. Sounds hit but it does sound kind of dull and crunchy. Yeah. Yeah. That was really nice. Yeah, that was a nice one. That’s interesting because that’s a slightly turned over shot which I think you hit a couple of those with the T200 as well. Just Yeah. 41 spin and the strike felt not bad in all honesty. Like it was a couple of mil high which we know is going to reduce spin but it’s felt good. And again I think you did hit a couple of those quite similarly and they dropped a very similar amount of spin. It was about 4 500 res from memory when you just turned it over with that slightly closed face. Yeah. So, actually now you’re dropping potentially this club even a little bit lower maybe. And that was a groove low just does so well. It just always gets there. Little bit low. Quite centered, but again, you know, a little bit low. Spin kicks up a little bit. N comes down. But again, like you know, the 135 flag. Yeah. still carrying front edge and rolling to pin heights. That was really nice. Yeah, that was like good speed as well. Yeah, lovely golf shot. So, Ross the robot at it again. Um P disagrees. What are you backing at? So, club head speed 72.7 versus 72.4. Attack angle 2.5 versus 2.6. Path 4.6 versus 4.4. Face angle 1.5 versus 2.1. Yeah, I mean just you control delivery really well. Even dynamic loft 27.3 to 27.2. It’s just wild. Strike fairly comparable. But yeah, interestingly again T250 coming off slightly higher in the face. Same as it did for you. Yes, that’s true. Did you know we said that the dots are basically the same on the head which is obviously where the striker breed from. So don’t know maybe there is something about his head that means people hits it slightly higher in the face. We see that with drivers all the time. Could be where the CG is located. Yeah, absolutely. Um but that all resulted in efficiency of 1.35 for both which is really solid. Yep. Um, ball speed 98 in the T200 original versus 97.6 in the T250. So, same. Uh, launch 21.0 versus 20.9. Same. Yeah. Uh, carry 1.135 versus 136. Yeah. Same. So, really the big differentiator is the spin, isn’t it? It’s a couple hundred revs. We saw five with yours and we thought that might be a little bit more than being fair. So, we’re thinking maybe three, four, something like that. And that that’s coming out at sort of like two. So 2 3 400 revs. It It’s just a bit low spin, isn’t it? That really It’s the only takeaway that we can really see from today. And even the left versus right. I mean, I didn’t really feel that so much. It’s been you and your swing reacting to the club being a little bit more left biased, but I didn’t really find that. Um, yeah, little bit lower spin is probably the only real takeaway, isn’t it, to be honest. So takeaways then, if you were to kind of wrap this up into a summary, so what do you think they’ve progressed with the T250? Like where are you seeing any real improvements? What are you What are you What are your feelings? I think as we touched on earlier, we’ve only got seven iron, right, which limits us. We’re indoors, which limits us. The reality is the biggest difference was always going to be the look. Looks, isn’t it? Yeah. Like the top line does look cleaner. It looks nicer. Blade length a little bit longer, which a lot of people will like. The back just looks awesome. Probably feels that little bit better as well. Y all these little things. And like we touched on the day when we were at Wurn, you know, we’ve got the launch spec coming, more options. We got the swing weight port, more options. We got, you know, a sleeve now that we can adjust in like 12, no, probably how many different settings? 18 different 18 different settings or something, right? Loft and light independently. So, we got so many more options for dialing people in. And that for us, we knew that these were going to be similar, right? Similar construction head at the same loft. It’s impossible for it to be dramatically different. Physically impossible, but I think they’ve done like an immense job from a looks perspective. Looks so much better. Getting rid of that back plate is a big big plus for for tight list. And yeah, looks great, feels great, and if it performs well for you, again, they are a little bit on the low spin side, I think, these heads. So, I think you have to be careful people out there to go in and buying them. If you’re a low spin player, it might not be the best for you. The launch spec might be a lot better when it comes a lot better. So, as always, get fitted. Um, but yeah, I think as we as we knew, big takeaways, looks. Yeah. And the the exciting thing is that progression in the in the fitting options, isn’t it? I mean, for us as fitters, that’s like actually quite exciting. Yeah. uh giving us more options to give to customers, try more things, different settings. Like that’s really where this whole thing is progressing is what we we’re starting to see that a lot now in across the brands. So 100%. Yeah, good one. The same as always, like if you’ve got the old model, are you really going to buy the new model? From a performance perspective, most amateur golfers aren’t going to see even with that progressive groove difference, are they really going to notice sound course? It’s unlikely for most amateurs. So if you’ve got the old model, are you going to go buy the new model? No. Unless you’ve got quite a few squid in the old back pocket. um and you know, you just like the look of the new one, fair enough. You know, it’s your money. You spend on what you like. But I don’t think we’re going to see a dramatic performance difference. So, there you go. As always, let us know your thoughts in the comments below. Which one would you be picking?
