Hi Chris. This is firmly on my radar this year. Do you happen to know whether the loft sleeve is the same on this driver as the 2023 model? I have the older one and would be interested in keeping my shaft, potentially.
Ok I'm a snob, but if I'm paying £500 for a driver it's not going to be Wilson. £299-349 and maybe I'd look. I don't buy the latest and greatest gear usually I'm happy to wait a year or two and pick stuff up half price or less.
Just been for a driver fitting (varied brands) ended up with the new Wilson Staff Dynapower max. Loved the feel, spin and distance, however after an hour, the consistency of length and dispersion was the best I’ve ever had. It also one of the cheapest out there. Needless to say I ordered one.
You are more consistant with a mini driver because of the shorter shaft. Since 90% of us weekend warriors can't hit a mini driver off the deck. And shouldn't be playing the same length driver shaft as a professional.
How about you show us what you can do with a 460cc driver head with a mini shaft? Then also do what I did and just cut three inches off of my G25 driver than added some lead tape.
I have been playing this fairway finder for 7 years

I don’t think for only 100 pound less then the big brands they will get the sales
Saw a lot of 130mph plus clubhead speeds there. Think your launch monitor is pooped. Glad to see these performing as well as the big boys
They look so good performs incredible too
Golfers are to stupid and manipulated to buy from another brand then the massive marketing ones.
Do you have the 10.5 degree model Chris?
Get it in the bag Chris
they just dont look as well finished as some of the over makes but the preformance speaks for ot self got to test it though
Mizuno 230 max is now selling for £299 if u want value ⛳
Nice run down Chris and very interested to see Dave giving them a try.
Thanks for including a proper ball speed and swing speed data. Your videos are getting good!
Problem with going very low in price is people assume they are budget and won't consider them then

How did they perform against your cow bell 2024 gamer?
$500 for a Wilson driver. This is where we are now. Sigh. Golf is gone off the deep end on price.
Well as of today, you can get a brand new AI Smoke Max for the same price or even $25 less. Which one would you really buy? Prob not the Willy.

105 _135 clubhead speed.
Doesn't seem right.
What launch monitor are you using?
I had the same discovery but with the LS model…ordered along with the new 4W and 7W
I hit the Max at the local golf show in my city and really enjoyed hitting it (and the fairway wood is really nice).
American-Made will not buy.
