In this video, we take a mid handicap golfer struggling with a high right miss and put the brand new 2026 drivers through a full custom driver fitting to see which will come out on top.
This isn’t a quick review — this is a proper fitting session. We test multiple heads, multiple shaft combinations, loft and lie adjustments, face angle changes and weight settings to find out which setup actually improves dispersion and reduces the right miss.
2026 Drivers Tested:
Taylormsde Qi4D Core
Taylormade Qi4D Max
Cobra OPTM Max K
Cobra OPTM Max D
Cobra OPTM X
Callaway Quantum Max D
Ping G440 K
Ping G440 Max
Titleist GT2
We break down:
• Launch & spin numbers
• Ball speed & strike pattern
• Face control
• Draw bias vs neutral heads
• Forgiveness & dispersion
• Shaft pairing differences
If you’re a mid handicap golfer considering a 2026 driver upgrade, struggling with a slice, or wondering if a driver fitting is worth it — this video shows exactly what happens inside a real fitting environment.
No gimmicks. Just real data and real results.

Luxury golf. Great people. Proper fun.

Love LaManga and all three courses ❤
110 strikes! what a fitting! great video as always.
I'm curious about loft … The final club was a 9 degree head, adjusted to 10.5 … So why not just use a 10.5 degree head. Does the lie angle flatten out when a 9 is adjusted up to 10.5?
Great video! Where'd you find that hoodie with the microphone clip slot?
We demand a subscriber giveaway for a few spots on that Spain golf trip!
Please do a senior golfer driver fitting
Ping fitted me into their SFT with same problem going right
This testing of clubs was extensive, but it looks like he has a weak grip, which is poison to slicers. Perhaps looking at swing mechanics would have helped.
Your man has a York/Hull/Yorkshire accent…what's the furthest anyone has travelled for a fitting?…I'm in North Lincolnshire and am seriously considering making a booking, perhaps just driver to start…TIA.
You could have saved a lot of time by going straight to the Ping 440 range! You knew it was going to be easiest to hit!
You've got a great club already, spend the money on lessons !
Ping 3 wood and 7 wood will soon join that driver in his bag 😁
Anyone want to explain to a newby…. If the face isn’t closing in time why not edge the ball further forward in the stance. Surely that gives time him time to close?
Hey, no offense intended with our golf jargon but are we calling a "slice" a "high right miss"? What is a "cut", a "fade" now? Thanks.
I think you need to combine a lesson with the fitting! I would have immediately had him go to a very strong grip
Cheers! Ping rules
Granted a larger grip size rarely fixes a right miss like this one…. but…. grip size fitting should be included in all fittings. I guarantee with his standard sized grips, he is bringing in way too much tension. Most people would be better off changing their grip size that the club itself.
Great video, Ross, and great edit! I am one of those that does not get on with certain brands' driver heads, for what ever reason. I can't hit the GT drivers to save my bacon, which is too bad with their recent price drop.
Ok, this guy is almost 100% me (I'm only at 95mph swing speed). I have the same driver (set up almost identically). I have also just gotten from swing out/in to in/out. I'm leaving the face open like he is (not as consistently as he is). I was thinking of doing a fitting to see if there was some magic fix. It sure seems like more coaching to focus on head rotation would be more beneficial than a new, $650 driver. I mean, he only got on with one club with one shaft. That's indicative of a swing problem and not a club problem, right?
Serious question, is it not worth spending lessons on correcting the swing issue (at 13hcp?!) rather than “masking” the core issue with equipment? Honestly a genuine question?
I think he needs to just slow down a bit , too fast for his ability, concentrate on face angle not speed
Great job dialing him in that hcp is 📉
What a great fit well done that man h/cap should drop now more confidence
So do you just let him buy what he just hit and take it home with him? Or do you order that setup and risk a manufacturing tolerance?
ridiculous 13 handicap driving it 300 yards plus pointless video
So nice to see a fitter trialling stock shafts for at least part of the fitting. Ive been fitted a few times and its always straight to the upcharge shafts.
No surprise to me that the ping with a stiff shaft did it . Worked for me with a g430 max.
With the speed this guy has would a mini driver not be a solid option but like the ping with shorter shaft . Club sped is there and poss bring dispersion closer on fairway 🤷🏻♂️
That is loud Ross😂.
He is the GOAT of YT reviewers/fitters!
Just shows you don’t always need to go for an upgraded shaft option. That’s stock Alta CB is great.
I turned a slice into a fade by changing my feet position. Front foot flared out 20* and back foot squared to almost a degree in. Basically my snowboard stance. As soon as I flared the back foot out, the slice is immediately back. Hit 80 balls right in the middle of the range with the new stance!
13 HCP but always land on the other fairway.
I used an original Ping Tour 2.0 65g Stiff with a swingweigth of D5, and recently I have struggled with it. So I did a fitting for a new shaft, I wanted to try a 44.5" shaft and ended up with a 44.5 " Aldila Orange 65g Stiff with a swingweigth of D1. What a difference swing weigths and shaft lengths can make. The total club weigth with the 44.5" Aldila is actually a couple of grams heavier than with the 45" Ping Tour 2.0 shaft, but the Aldila with it's D1 swing weigth is much more effortless to swing. When I hit it well it is a dream compared to the Ping D5 shaft. So driver fitting do matter. 🙂
Yeah honestly, he’d be better off spending that money on lessons instead of buying a new driver.
