Our taste couldn’t be more opposite. Ping g430 lst and callaway paradym are bottom two for me in looks. Ping is so busy looking. And Callaway – particularly the triple diamond with no alignment looks terrible. I also think all of the Callaways look too triangular in shape.
Will the fairway reviews be up soon? I’m holding off ordering the new ones
I really enjoy and appreciate your videos. They are very helpful and you are sincere.😊
Hi Chris Great Video 👍, lots of Data to check out👌, great to hear your unbiased testing thoughts, liked the Ping Driver you picked, being a senior golfer would to see slower swing speed review around 80mph testing some HL & light weight Drivers😃, Thanks Dickey 9hcp 76year senior golfer
I never buy new drivers but I did pick up a TSi2 for $200 and I'm very excited to try it. It's been too wet to play in Alabama but I'm hoping I'll be able to play next week. I think I got an outstanding deal coming from the 917 d3 that I use to play.
The looks are the last thing I'm interested in.
what were your thoughts on the Mizuno Drivers ? I have narrowed my choice down to them and the Stealth 2 standard…..your thoughts ? i am unable to go for a fitting this year so i am going off my last driver fitting specs…. I am 58 years old…swing speed 90-94 mph….9-11 handicap….hit a high fairly straight ball..currently using a PXG Gen 5 XF with a Tensei blue raw SFW 55 regular shaft….spin is 2500-3000….want a shaft with mid-high launch I think…mid spin…. any ideas what might suit me ? ( ventus TR Red 5 , Kai'li red or blue , )…thx ..look forward to your response…..GREAT REVIEW by the way….cheers from Canada
Really need a system that measures TOTAL distance? Cobra might? be the over-all best with1800 spin?
Can you do this with the hybrids please?
Great review but no Cleveland or Wilson which would have come in with the PXG on price.
Always remember it’s your swing that makes the difference. You can have the most beautiful, expensive driver in your bag but if your swing is crap, or not up to scratch then you’re just wasting your money. Spend the money having swing lessons, practice, practice, practice then when comfortable get fitted for a driver suited for your swing.
I think it's fair to say, no one is getting fitted properly in 30-60min windows with the choices this year. Folk are mostly going to walk in with 3-4 manufacturers in mind based on YT videos, and they'll get fit with those. Sadly, the one that will be perfect, might not get a look.
The manufacturer is going to the use of carbon on the face of clubs so your club will wear out quicker and you have to buy another.
Shame you didn't have the Srixon ZX5 LS MKII driver to test also!
