In this full data test, we compare the latest 2026 low spin drivers to see which one produces the most distance and highest ball speed — and whether the marketing claims match reality.
All testing was done under controlled conditions using consistent swing delivery to isolate head performance and remove variables wherever possible.
🔥 Drivers Tested:
Taylormade Qi4D LS
Cobra OPTM LS
Srixon ZXi LS
Titleist GT4
Callaway Quantum Triple Diamond
Mizuno JPX ONE Select
Ping G440 LST
We analyse:
• Ball speed
• Launch angle
• Spin rate
• Carry distance
• Dispersion patterns
If you’re looking for more driver distance in 2026, considering a low spin driver upgrade, or deciding between the Taylormade Qi4D LS vs Ping G440 LST vs Titleist GT4, this full comparison test breaks down the numbers clearly.
This is a pure data-driven driver test — no brand bias, no hype — just measurable performance differences between the latest 2026 LS driver heads.

Hard to beat the Titleist GT when you look at value right now. Will be interesting to see what Titleist comes out with later this year.
Great video, especially the info around bias. Can you do something similar with the core range?
Massive review. You did not consider price, but since Titleist recently dropped the price from US$650 to US$450, it is the WINNER on price and ball speed.
I feel bad for Mizuno, they're always way behind in distance and I haven't seen one review where they didn't spin too much. Seems like they just can't engineer speed and spin to keep up with the big boys.
Just curious if only LS heads were tested cause for me recently testing this year, the qi4d core was the longest and best for me and further than LS and GT3 was way longer than GT4. FYI, my club head speed is 115 mph and this is the first time I can remember getting fit for a non LS model as the qi4d core 8 degree with weights up front was the longest and best
I would like to see if it can beat out the GT2
Compare these beautiful new $1000.00 drivers to a Taylormade M1 or M2, 2017.
Not a single one will come within 30 yards.
I'll keep my money and thank you for the video !!!
I wish you were in the US. Would love to be fit by you!
Tried the GT3,TM, Cobra and Callaway in these and have gone with the Callaway Quantum TD Max 9* and have put the weight in the toe as mentioned, I’ve always found Callaway a little draw bias – Cobra was a close 2nd for me, the GT3 I had for a little while but replaced with the Quantum as the GT series was the shortest of the lot oddly, TM was a little too low launch for me and with 115mph swing speed, didn’t really want a more lofted club.
I play the Tensei 1K Pro White X-Stiff and probably could try the TM with the Blue shaft or the Ventus TR Blue I previously used, but have always had a bit of extra confidence with Callaway Driver/Woods & Hybrid (Titleist with everything else)
Mizuno is best looking club of the year but very spinny.
After I bought the Mizuno STMAX, I will never buy another Mizuno product again. They are the definition of Gimmick. Wasn't till I tried to change the back weight that you find out that the screw in the back is there only for LOOKS. It is not meant to be removed apparently, but they sell as if it has some customization. Never trust their brand again.
What flex and weight are are you using?
Great video, really can't go wrong with any of these drivers. Doesn't seem to be a single "bad" driver released this year. Would love to see the same video with core and max versions of these drivers.
I'd love to see a cobra OPTM vs GT2!
Im a cobra woods man so yes compare everything with cobra so I get to see more of it 🤣 iv got adapt X driver and adapt LS driver and 5w, kingtec mini and optm 7wood. Feel free to review the mini 😁
Interesting you rated the Optim highest even with a few wide rights, but rated the Quantim 4th despite your comment that it required the least amount of shots to get usable data. I think it shows how strong visual preferences can be when selecting a driver, even when the data favors something else. I chose the Qi4D Core this year, and looks were a big part of that as well.
Hey, just wondering if you have begun fitting the latest, much talked about 'Epic Fury' range of drivers?
Seems to be all the rage ATM…!
Great review. How do you do a test like this to make it fair so you’re equally ‘warmed up’ for each driver?
What were the dispersion rings like and which were the most forgiving? As always super in depth and great video, love the channel.
Thanks Ross top review as usual Paul
Krank???
