  1. What kind of shaft do you have in the quantum that leads to 2+ mph faster in club speed on average? Titleist absolutely cooks with this gen of FW. 50 deg landing angle, great spin, highest smash and tight dispersion.

  2. My GTs3 is a rocket! I swing my 7w like him 100-102 and I saw 150 ball speed insane! It's so good. I actually delighted it to 22° as it was too close to my next FW 16.5° 4+ wood!

  3. Does Harrison just struggle with PING clubs (especially with the left miss)? This is the 2nd video I’ve seen where the G440 fairway wood’s dispersion was the worst, even though it’s been widely praised elsewhere.

  4. The ball speed and launch and spin numbers are not that different that one can't tweak with hosel loft and lie adjustments. For example, the OPTM numbers would be nearer the others if you decrease the loft by one or two degrees with the Futurefit 33 hosel adaptor.

  5. It would be great to see the range of clubs expanded beyond the big 5 brands. There are some absolute fantastic clubs out there often at a lower price point. The Wilson Dynapower woods for example have rave reviews especially for their price point.

  6. Admitted defeat on my 4 iron and got the quantum 7 wood. If you’re on the fence about making the same move go hit one, to have a 185 club on a rope with high launch and great stopping power is really hard to ignore
