Great video Simon, I game a TaylorMade SLDR 430cc, and a SLDR 5 wood (2013 I believe), they may not be the most forgiving, but out of the middle they are as long as anything out today I’d imagine!
I don’t, luv finding the old stuff thanks to SAS.
At $20.00 the titleist 975D UST Proforce75 Gold low Torque X-Stiff tip 8.5*
Minty fresh condition, no marks on face, never hit.
That bore through technology was something, me callaway greatest big Bertha has exact bore through thinking,they reacts the same same
Out driving the kids with old school sticks just makes them nuts.
Oops, picked up a nice 917D3…not a fan rather play the smaller heads
✌️
Standard ST max is the best driver I’ve ever had. Can’t imagine taking it out of the bag anytime soon. So forgiving and confidence inspiring and sounds amazing.
Great work Simon. Keep it up please!
There is many a Pro who has changed and wished they hadn't. The lure of money sometimes, contracts the other. Sometimes they have no choice and have to change every year.
Taylormade has yet to convince me that their carbon face drivers are better than my SIM2 Max.
I just bought a g400 driver pretty much new for less than $200. I hit it WAY better than my TSR3. It’s long but I’m not consistent out the middle with the titleist. G400 is great still. So much value
I was at the Masters yesterday and I was shocked at how many G430s and Ping bags I saw.
I'm on the stealth 2 plus driver and a m4 3 wood
Victor Hovland needs a driver upgrade after his performance at the Masters. Really he might need brain upgrade because after being extremely successful lately he then fired his swing coach, caddie and entire team.
The only thing I DO NOT like about the Ping G425 is that it has such a different sound than the rest. It feels so… empty and just has too much of a ring in it
Great video Simon, love your content. Makes me grounded. NO I don’t need new toys, I need to practice practice practice with a pro overseeing.
Young man, some of us still use the Cobra King F6 Ladies flex 6 (19.5°) & 9 (24°) woods!!!! That's what you taught me! You didn't? Yes, actually, you did. You taught me that launch was all important!!! I can hit them both as hard as I like, straight, and far!!! Who knew? OK you did! That was £50 well spent!!! Seriously! You made me think of how I play golf differently, in just an hour lesson!!! Wow!
I don’t think that a carbon face driver is the future as carbon has a shorter life span than titanium.
If the club works, it works. I have a Sim 2 and like it. I want a 425max and will buy one from a trend seeker who had to get the latest and greatest, and toss the “just as goods” to the side
I don't swing anywhere near the 100mph mark, but love listening to your reasoning behind the clubs you choose. Cheers Simon.
I bought a mint condition used Cobra F9 King Speedback last year for about $250, still a great driver.
My beloved Cobra F9 has developed a dead spot and I am unexpectedly in the driver market for the first time in years. I went to the simulator and found that I have also lost a few mph and am now around 100 rather than 105+. Still high flight high spin. I saw Rick Shields video showing Sim2 Max was equal distance and tighter dispersion than Qi10 for him so I was going to look there. Would my lower swing speed rule out the Rogue triple diamond? Which model head Rogue should I compare to the Sim2 Max for my swing speed of 100mph, high spin, high flight? and Ping?
Patrick Cantley plays so slow the TSi 3 is still a prototype
Just bought the Rogue ST Max – £160 – it’s never leaving my bag!
Can you get custom fit for old drivers?
Collin Morikawa is using the qi10 LS at the masters
My 917D3 still does well for me at age 48. I'm at 110 club head on course which gives me 160's ball speed. No issues playing long courses.
Golf has a high skill ceiling. The lower your skill, the more you benefit from new hardware. When your the top 1%, hardware has much less of an impact. Look at the manufacturing of a driver like you would a car. There's subtle differences but you aren't actually getting a 'new' model every year. You're getting variants of the same model over a 6-8 year period. Also with that in mind, manufactures don't rush out their innovations, otherwise they would make a lot less money. For all we know, they have driver tech in the works that adds 20 yards to your shot, but maybe they are waiting for the golf ball rollback to implement.
