Best Golf Drivers Review & Guide 2019 5/5 (1)

hi guys it's Rick see us down here at Qwest Golf Academy here at prairie sports village I'm going to be testing the new TaylorMade em - I've just done the m1 go and check out on my channel now it's the m2 turn and these are the new 2017 model of these golf clubs a very very popular club this last year the m2 and I was so surprised I'd be the first one that said I didn't think it was ever going to work then bring it out at m2 so close to it and while I thought oh god they've shot themselves in the foot but they really didn't the performance on it was outrageously brilliant the best players in the world were using it and even players from other manufacturers once they stopped making club started to move to it so what have they done now to make this better what have you done now to make this stand out on top of the original m2 from the bottom it looks unbelievably different to the original m2 but from the top we see a lot of similarities let's draft with the bottom first so for me it looks way more futuristic how much compasso computerize well I was like a bit transformer rest at the bottom there stripped a load of weight down near the toe absolutely loads and almost to a degree where they've left a little bit of a lip underneath the head that using this word geo coup stick which is geometry and acoustic stuck together crazy I know but apparently it's supposed to enhance the sound of this driver is supposed to sound better and louder we'll have to see if that's the case it still got the slot behind the face which is the helping with off-centered hits well what the biggest standout feature of this is the color scheme it's moved away from the kind of gold color scheme and it's gone with what they're calling kinetic green that for me that looks very familiar to color that we've already seen on a different driver that may no longer be being a made I don't know say any names and it might help a lot of those players who are moving to tell them they feel a bit more at home potentially but they could have picked any color in the world but they chose a lime green slash coleye coincidence I'll let you be the judge of that and with the m2 there's not as much adjustability there's our only adjustability in the net you can go up and down two degrees now I've just tested the m1 and I was noticing I think if I went a little bit more loft I think it will get more better results so I've got this driver head it's already at a ten point five head but I've just stripped a bit of loft on it I think I've got this set in nine point seven five the weight is back the head size is gigantic from the top because if still using the carbon / white border on the head which I think looks real I mean I know it looks really cool and a lot of people are still a big fan of that look and they've kept with that which I'm dead happy with and let's give it hit let's see what the numbers say it's no point in it's not talk let's hit so I've got this in my normal shaft this is my ideal of rogue shaft and let's give this a bit of a wallop it is a mega loud wow that was like a lot wild and light almost like higher-pitched than the m1 normally I would say the m2 nirmaan lash it sounded a bit almost a bit dead I quite like the sound but it sounded dead that did not sound dead that sounded really loud now is that a massive change I don't know I don't know you might hear Justin Johnson on the commercial saying oh yeah I love the sound I'm not sure if it makes a huge difference let's go again performance on that wasn't great it's a little bit short and what I'd like to see but I don't think I middled it let's go again that's a lovely girl shot felt great that probably not in the sweetest of sweet spots again I've talked about this in the m1 video you go above the centerline of these drivers and the spin just drops out the sky and it just go for miles they're great performing club off the high side of the face they've both spoon above 2,000 rpm spin I've still got the numbers up on screen from the m1 video this is not much of a direct comparison because I'm going to do that another video but it gives you a bit of an insight of what differences are between the the new m1 and the m2 if the ball stays on the tee for me that's so far not terrible definitely different noise what's louder I just can't get over how loud that actually is it it's deafening compared to the original m1 m2 and and much louder than the original one maybe they didn't have as much I said it in the m1 review the the G acoustic technology in the m1 I don't think they did in this they have and it sounds unreal sounds really loud let's go one let's go a couple more actually don't feel like a quite middle middle middle back there were a little bit low of the head not quite perfect not bad but not as good as I know they could be not quite in the middle just low off the head and performance is showing that as well they're all lower distances not as far as what I'd like to see him doing just need to say it's not that level up they're not terrible but not as good as they could be still considering the strike locations the spin is still ridiculously low considering I'm not hitting that high off the face it's got one more so you can just catch this a little bit higher off the face okay there you go that's the pop a little bit drawee but a definite higher clubface strike to 90 distance a bit hockey 273 Kari 290 probably not doing as well as the n1 for me there didn't seem to give it as much it doesn't sound to me as as nice as the original m2 it sounds a little bit more loud and kind of like shouty and looked behind still looks amazing what could bottom I'm not sure I can't say all of it I can't say I love the bottom of that Club I know you're not hitting the bottom of clubs it shouldn't matter the matter but for me it doesn't doesn't strike me as being really you know what I liked about last them too it's very symmetrical the bottom in the head was super symmetrical you know that big gold way at the back and everything was like just nicely tape it in this doesn't seem like that it feels a bit to me from even looking down at this this looks draw bias now there is a D type of this coming out a draw Tite coming out but that looks a bit draw bias to me the looks on the bottom of the head not showing - got that right there the bottom but I'll let you be the judges of that let's have a look at some numbers so we've got the m2 on the bottom row of that number two seven four carry distance not as good as when there had been one in the right back position might just be the fact that I'm more familiar with the weighting system of the m1 and ball speed was actually up one five nine ball speed which is fast faster than one spin rate was 2000 which actually considering its the weight back position is still pretty good I say very very similar to the m1 with the weight back but for me I just love the m1 more I'm sorry I performed a lot better and it sounded nicer it sounded a little bit more kind of dead that must be more the car but in the end wall there's this for me there's more of a separation between these two drivers this year last year they kind of got quite close together you had the adjustability of the m1 granted but you had the simplicity of the m2 well now I just feel like these have gone a little bit further apart the m1 has become way more adjustable in the way that that track has gone further back and the strip weight here and just look at that and it looks still amazing on the top still not sure about the bottom where m2 they've still got look on the top they've made it super loud honestly really loud and move that weight back still central and but it doesn't look for me as as clean-cut as as smart that's just my opinion on this driver why they brought in this lime green color time will only tell and I hate high on the high on the face potentially I will do you know what I'm and I'm going to do it I've just not got it at the moment it won't be dead soon and M 2 versus M 2 that's going to come soon exactly like the m2 has changed quite a lot away from the original m2 where the m1 probably is a little bit closer to the original and one interesting guys thanks for watching hopefully you enjoyed the video you have click thumbs up comment below what do you think of the new 2017 range then one m2 do you like the old version do you like the new version and if you've got the old version that you tempted to go for the new version are you asking yourself why because that's the question I would ask myself is why change from the existing to this be interesting to see head-to-heads coming soon guys thanks for watching hopefully you enjoyed the video if you have comment below we'll see you next time

so these are pine meta golf clubs from for the entire set and here's what you can do it cry the other right kick left it's in the fairway yes very good there's my product endorsement I am hitting women in a meta Club it's pine meadow it just got a terrible logo I thought it was in a meta to be calm hey just be sure you hit in the middle okay in the now piano key in the middle he's a meta show you how supposed to hundred and forty bucks for the entire set and it's nice jamie has smacked him today's this Tom meta club and not this time though all right your time my predicates recording not the five product endorsement I don't what Jamie can't do I'm about to make him don't you recording now actually what we talk about let's talk about he's I hit it rot son over the hall into the woods to grandmother's house haha but the Pine Manor does connect if you know what you're going

hi guys my name's Rick shields down here at ruffle girl central Manchester and we've got the new cobra range sister fly Z we've got the Flies E and the Flies E Plus aw Phi is dead if you're from from England and so we're going to do the fly Z first this is one under the head cover I put the post down for the time being the post is the one way you can actually switch the weight from a center of gravity that's forward to one that's back to check out the next video for that but the fly Z the normal version is the one where the central gravity is fixed in the back position and you can change the direction slightly and the loft by changing the interchangeable Hazell section so you can change it into a draw setting and go from 9 degrees all the way up to 12 I've got this in 10 degree and I've got it in the actual standard this is the matrix extra stiff shaft plus peas gone up to now 110 so I'm starting to sue an extra stiff shaft a bit more which I like and this comes in different colors I've got this in blue bold blue can you even see it in the index of my jacket it's quite a bold blue we're gonna be hitting it on gt2 with real golf balls and see how it performs on distance forgiveness feel spin high everything that can possibly do now what they've brought into this technology is they brought a speed channeling so around the face there is a small Ridge almost like a moat around the face well that's doing this off centre hits the face reacts better so off-centered hits the face doesn't kind of flex a little bit like what are the some of the similar drivers have done and it looks nice it looks like a really big head from the above it looks really big whether that's the blue or whether it's the way that they've stretched it all the way out the back got a little bit of detailing along the back Ridge here which again looks really nice and the ground are gone for the gold weight colors in this and the in the fly plus a personal probably furthest in maybe a dark head maybe a black cab I mean the blue doesn't offend me it's just not something that I don't want particularly a driver that looks that blue something again with the Mizuno one that I wasn't a massive fan of but that's only personal preference guys it really is right real golf balls you see - lets get smashing a few and I say it does it does look nice it does I mean as in it looks like a big powerful head just forget this boy I feel like a really nice diet for the Cobra it super super good feel off the face some against some impressive numbers these drivers are all are all getting out there at the moment I mean some impressive numbers again to spin numbers of good Club at speeds good smash factor is excellent with the ball speed be nice and high as well so I'm going to hit to oncoming I'm going to hit 3 off just so we can get some 5 averages I mean that was nice form really nice over 300 yards comfortably there you know it felt good I did feel you know I felt really solid really good feel off the face and I don't feel like I hit it as good as the first yet it still got over comfortably over 300 yards tell you what so far this is producing some phenomenal numbers and this this is actually the one that's that shouldn't on paper suit with the best that maybe the fly us might suit with the bessel I'm going to hit three more now and then we're gonna have a look at the chart see what the numbers are actually producing over the five shots because so far so good for the cobra flies II yeah really good numbers stay tuned guys join me a second we'll see how the five gal Wow you know what I've hit five shots and I'm really actually do I'm starting to fall in love with this club this is nice this is producing some good numbers so what I'm going to I mean even that's just short 300 nuts one of the worst ones I've hit actually out the five so I'm going to pull up the chart now so we can have a look at what it's actually doing performance wise because some very very very solid numbers already right so we've got the five shots now this is just produced and pretty much much one of the longest hits I've ever done with a drive long test which was 312 yards shot number four really good now average it was carrying at 277 which is good numbers total distance averaging at 300 that's right up there with the big boys you know the ones you know you tight leash your tailor-mades that's right up there with that kind of shot and this is the club that's shooting the Nike ones as well this is the club that shouldn't shouldn't shoot me i dint perfectly just yet I think I can't wait for the trial applause one of them and it got up went center of gravity forward because that's the only thing that stood out to me there's the spin was a little bit high now granted shot number three it might not have been the greatest strike ever in the world it was a little off the bottom and therefore it spun over 3,000 but seeing it spun over 3,000 still got two to eight three total distance it's really good Clemente was good 112 his whereabouts I am at the moment 160 ball speed good quite high launch because here I've got this in 10 degrees so it's frigid with that central gravity being the low and back producing really high easy to hit ball flight it did feel very very easy to hit and I said I reckon the spin numbers can be improved it's 2400 on this one I think that can be improved with the fly z+ we get that central gravity fold and give it a test to check out the next video for that guys so far incredibly forgiving the speed Speed Channel I think does a little bit certainly on that shot number four when I didn't hit it was shot number three when I didn't hit it well at all yeah it still got near to where I need it to be some good impressive numbers good adjustability I'd get it in a different color but apart from that that is an impressive Club guys the cobra flies II it's another one again these drivers are just being churned out at such a fantastic rate now and a such a good level that it's definitely one again you should be putting on the Whistler to maybe try I think what it's going to have off written abundance is a massive big head behind the ball which will instill confidence straightaway if you like the customization of different colors that's also going to have a market with that central cavity back it's really easy to hit lots of forgiveness guys do subscribe click the link down below give it a thumbs up comment down below is this a driving you're excited to try is it one that you want to get in the bag and I'm definitely put this shaft now in the new fly z+ head we'll see how it performs I've got like an orange guys do subscribe check out on that channel and we'll see you next time Cobra fly Z cool fantastic numbers very impressed

okay so callaway have brought back the great big bertha driver they brought back the big birth there a couple of years ago now we've got another iconic driver that's come for its second go let's take out the head cover a really smart head cover and the instant reaction when you see it is it's got them blows a wow factor I mean look how it looks like a really high-tech piece of kit also like an f1 car or something really feels like there's loads of Technology in there and it's just a look that that's gonna get loads of people interested you know when they see that in the in their Pro Shop got loads of shelf appeal the word of the great Big Bertha sit in Callaway drive the range Callaway have had quite a lot of drivers over the last few years I've actually streamlined it a little bit now the great Big Bertha sits in the middle of your XR which is you know you're not as much adjustability on there more for your ability market and then they've got the alpha out great sixteen double-back diamond for your better players so this is right in the middle so I think this will suit a lots of players and with its adjustability as you can see there with its with its sliding rail at the back and they're just ability in the hosel it's really gonna appeal to lots of drivers and can get it fine tuned to their swing it's also reflected in the cost as well this comes in at 369 you've got your XR at 299 and then you've got your premium you know Big Bertha al for 816 door black diamond coming in at about four to nine so sit in the middle the range should appeal to your mid handicappers high handicappers single figure handicappers I think there's not a single player that won't be able to get it dialed in into this club just taking a look at a dress I'd say it's got a quite compact head shape but without being intimidating it's got a nice brushed finish and you've got that classic Callaway alignment aid on there so it looks it looks like a classic Big Bertha Bertha driver which lots of people will be familiar with and I think a lot of people are going to get on with okay let's have a little chat about the technology going on in the great Big Bertha driver the whole design is aimed at being aerodynamic I mentioned earlier about being like an f1 car it's it is kind of all about speed it's about ball speed you know getting it getting it flying through the air nice and easily so we've got a really lightweight multi material composite crown design here again aimed about you know reduced as much weight as possible so they can drive the CG down and put the weight you know in the sole of the club that's what brings out CG down get that nice high launch so we've got this 10 gram adjustable weight on the back which you can see slides right into the heel goes into the neutral position there and then it's got a phase setting there as well so it's one of the sliding rare we've also got the opto fit hosel as well which has got a load of combinations of settings in there so with the hosel and missus the sliding way it there's a lot of adjustability there and I would be wary about anyone playing about too much to try and find what's right for them go and see your local callaway fitter get it dialed in right for you because that's the way that you're going to get the most out of this driver so looking at the performance of a great big bertha driver I've been hitting shots using our earnest sports 14 portable launch monitor I wanted to hit 10 shots in the neutral setting and then I wanted to hit 10 shots with that weight moved into into the heel into the draw saying so first start with my first 10 shots I was quite pleased you know spin rate was really good you know averaging about 2500 which I'm really happy with that spin rate I can get a little bit higher at time so anything you know 2500 that's absolutely perfect me I was happy with that spall speeds you know probably averaging out around about 130 738 miles an hour again not too bad average distance 245 yards so not not to you know displeased with that number but you know I did have a feeling that once I moved that weight I was gonna get gonna get better figures stopped sliding the weight into the draw same putting a little bit more weight into the hill what I did find was my average distance in carry numbers we're not because the the forgiveness when I did hit out the hill was a lot better you know what when the weight was was in the middle I could feel when I hit a few out out there out the hill they were getting like another 230 yards something like that but my average is actually with it with that weight moves my average distance was 254 yards which is really really good for me and the ball speed average you know went up as well as averaging over 140 miles an hour the ball speed even got one up there at 149 miles an hour at Miraval speed which I was really really pleased with there is you know kind of as good a ball speed numbers that I've had with with any of the drivers on the market at the moment so that does show that there is a lot of Merit in into these into these adjustability and I'm contradicting myself by you know moving the way myself rather than with a hitter but I've been through you know hundreds of fittings and I know that nine times out of ten a fitter will suggest that I put a little bit weight into the heel for a little bit of forgiveness it's up to you to go on - you're fitter to find out what's best for you for me putting that way in the hill did make a big difference and I was really really pleased with those average distance and carry numbers so overall as I have said this is a fantastic looking driver it's got all that adjustability in there so it can be tailored to your swing so I really think this is going to appeal to it you know really wide range of abilities and golfer's which is which is really good to see I think Callaway have been guilty of confusing things a little bit by having you know too many different drivers and players are unsure which driver was going to be best for them but I think it's it's quite clear now if you want more of an off-the-shelf you know not so much adjustability you don't want to spend every three hundred-pound you've got your XR if you've got you know a lot of money and you're a better player and you really want that all-singing all-dancing driver then you've got the Alpha 816 clubs and then in the middle if you don't want to get happy to spend three no three or fifty pounds on a driver but you want something that looks fantastic on something that performs well got a little bit of adjustability in there I'm really them if we can go too far wrong with a great Big Bertha driver at all I could put this in the bag no problem at all really happy with with my numbers on it I think you should give it a try and I think you'll get on with it really well you know I think that looks pretty cool a dress as well it you know it's it's funny because this club is actually aimed you know more at the game improvement market it's

right guys my crossword here we're looking at the new XR from Callaway the new driver with a new little dinky bit on the top and see what it's all about let's get stuck in guys the new tagline with the exile driver from Callaway is that forgiveness has finally met far so what Callaway are saying if you try and make a club head as fast as possible often you might give up some of its forgiveness because you might have to use some of its weight in different places to put certain things on it and all those kind of things so what Callaway of saying aped bowing to work on aerodynamics and they've put this little trip step that they're calling it on the top and it's very similar to the last one and other companies have done similar things with aerodynamics where they've put these two little bumps on the top of the club to try and help you gain as much club head speed as you can out of your driver now you've got to put this into perspective they have seen on robot testing I think 1.9 mile and hours extra club head speed they don't give you the small print and tell you how fast they have to swing the club to get that maybe a question we could ask them so they are trying to squeeze as much forgiveness out of this eye driver as well as in creating a lot of speed it certainly is a big looking head it stretched back they've saved us something like 9 grams of the face and they've whacked it in the back it's a very overall light driver as well I think 310 grams is what they would cope quoting now these numbers really mean anything to me I know most of you however but they're very proud of them so we're talking about very marginal kind of improvements but improvements nevertheless soul of it is all aerodynamic as well so it's a real aerodynamic look with the XR as well as a speed idea to try and get as much speed out of it as possible and let's hit it see actually how it feels and also what the numbers come out like so this is set 9.5 lot see it's big done it down by the ball does stretch back can't be like a 2 8 two seven seven distant 265 carrot yeah I'm 262 that's all normalize isn't it yeah that's on mama so I'm a - six - that's me I can get like I'm 270 on an absolute rip that's a 2 4 in it that was you what club it's beating on the game well track man I'm around 100 105 tops can be 98 subject - I'm quite warm up here a few shots I'm probably about 104 and I won a 107 mm I'm Pam if he sits the heat due to - to spoon radius at 270 K yeah that's my long but I call it higher and Toa I'm wearing a tie that's why I had that left yeah yeah dipped a bit the the bumps they're little less ugly this year aren't they see don't think a bit prettier on the next thing yeah they've had like a little makeover an effective makeover that's gonna be like to eight carrying one two five eight two six four so that was to nine carrying two six four yeah how'd you first heard the radio you don't need the track mail with me you only Ian Dryden from the turret say that again you and Ian Dryden who does the Callaway to a fitting you can call them Kenny straight up yeah I can I can almost I've used laws Juana's for a long time now I'm going to try and send this one further let's see like squeak do 72 feet was it yeah that's big spinny I reckon got some speed on it yeah I went for that more because I imagine these bumps are more reactive too high for the clubhead speed higher or other companies tests you actually the small print was you had to get the head speed up to get the extra mile an hour out of it other other companies I've heard the rumor of those of us 2 to 7 to 75 carry on that one yeah 109 mile an hour Club its peak yeah that's I mean I don't play that ball that's my life wide open or slightly angry shot you know to me if I try and find fairway is such more in there I get that low spin on that because I strike it high tone which that's gotta be like a - two - three two - yeah - 66 carry yeah what's the average then back to six 72 65 one second litter look I did put a long ball in there which you could discard really yeah so the average carry has been to six eight yeah so to 6x I'm a - six - oh I think if you put me in England testing not Dubai I would be around or get going five more I'm so much more wiry in this heat than I am when it's colder think Oh guys it's an interesting driver obviously you got the changeable neck on it as well which I didn't mention at the start they're numbers of fine numbers are doing exactly what I'd want them to do there's a pro version of this club also club head speed increasing through aerodynamics I think is you know they've got to say something Kevin play with these drivers they've pushed them all to the pretty much their limits I think Callaway very proud of what they've done I'm not sure it's a driver I would fall in love with overnight I don't think I'm seeing any extra club head speed out of it but you certainly get out there and try and hit them let me know what you think post comes down below thanks for watching subscribe to my youtube channel for loads more videos find me on instagram @ Crossfield mark also on twitter at for golf online find me on facebook mark Crossfield thanks for watching post comments as always and see you soon

hello everyone nil tap in here from golf monthly welcome to Bishopsgate Golf Academy out here in Orlando Florida where today I'm going to be showcasing six of my favorite driver models of 2019 so I have in front of me the Cobra King F 9 speed back the Callaway epic flash sub-zero I've got the TaylorMade m5 I've got tightness ts3 pings G for 10-plus and finally Mizuno's st 190 driver and the idea is here is to put each of these drivers through its paces on a launch monitor and out here on the golf course and then to break up the results into a series of key categories so we've got aesthetics feel performance and value in order to help you with your own buying decision so if you are in the market this year for a new driver you can go armed with the best knowledge possible so we're going to take a look at the results starting with the aesthetics okay so as far as the aesthetics go I mean they all look really good they've got different things going on from the crown view down at address if you like something sort of busier down behind the ball something to help you with your alignment then you might want to go for the ping Jie for 10 plus or the Cobra King F line speed back then the use of these sort of aerodynamic features on that can actually help you with your alignment as well but for me I like a fairly sort of clean and simple and yet a little bit modern look down behind the ball with the classics of the shape I think they'll become clear when I tell you what my favourites are so my favourites in this category have a tailor-made m5 the Callaway epic flash sub-zero and the Mizuno st 190 driver so starting with the the TaylorMade what I love about this is that every year when the M range of woods is matured they slightly refine the looks and that's exactly what they've done with the m5 so the silver part on the ground isn't quite as big as it has been in the past it's still there and the carbon composite parts of the crown has been given a matte black finish and I think this looks really smart I think he looks Martin down behind the ball but also in the bag and the the sole view really does catch that a really striking look I think that looks absolutely purp then on to the Callaway epic sub-zero it has that same carbon composite crown it had last year I loved it last year it looks great again I love this sort of profile as well it's a little bit more compact I think to look down on behind the ball and it's really smart really classic and yes they've given it a bit of a paint job this time with the the green and the yellow I wouldn't say that was a hundred percent to my taste it doesn't really put me off too much and I think the epic flash is a really good looking driver and then finally a new to this driver test new to the Golf monthly driver test for 2019 is Mizuno and their st 190 drivers I was really pleased when resort Mizuno launched these this year because now the woods really match up with the irons in terms of the aesthetics I mean there's not really much to choose from between Callaway and Mizuno in terms of that carbon composite down behind the ball this looks really smart and I also think the shelf appeal view the soul view also looks really good as well so those would be my three favorites if I had to pick the one to go for based on looks I think it would be the TaylorMade m5 it's it's an area that tailor-made just seem to get right year after year they subtly improved it in the m5 and I really loved it okay so onto the field category and actually I noticed a bit of a trend in 2019 for drivers to become it's seemingly across the board just that little bit more higher pitched through the impact hits certainly noticeable with the Callaway slightly higher pitch that had been in previous generations you will notice a different feel if you test the epic flash sub-zero up against the previous generation rogue or the original epic you'll notice how much of a high-pitched sound it is and certainly with the Titleist TS TS drivers they were also that little bit higher pitched this time than in the previous generation nine seventeen drivers and finally in Mizuno's range the ST 190g was slightly higher pitch than the esti 190 version feel it's one of those things that is ultimately extremely subjective so what what suits my ear might not necessarily suit yours but I really prefer that sort of slightly more dull that muted impact sound for me I associate that with more power and that's why my three favorites in the field Department would be the Mizuno st 190 the fixed weight version the Cobra F 9 speed back then I've got my hands here and also the TaylorMade m5 and my favorite of the three was the TaylorMade m5 to me this feels really powerful really solid through the contact it's definitely probably the most muted the most of its sort of dull fudge through the ball that might not be to your liking it certainly wouldn't be to everybody's like me I know that some of the people in the Gulf month the office prefer that higher pitched sound they they associate that with it being easier to hit and easier to launch but for me that dollar contact sound is what I'm looking for and that's why if I was to choose one driver for the feel it would be the TaylorMade m5 okay so on to the performance and this is where we get on to showing you the launch wallah today so now I tested each of these drivers at this foresight Sports headquarters in Guildford using the GC quad launch monitor and using tightness Pro v1x golf balls from 2019 now we do take a few shots out we take out anything that is really poorly struck because whilst I appreciate there's something to be said for understanding how a driver performs on significant miss hits in this test it can skew the numbers in a way that's slightly unfair we do we do leave in slight miss hits we take out the big ones and we also remove anything that's really wide so anything that's sort of missing the pharoah by a long way we remove there were also some fairly small differences in the way each of the different drivers was set up ideally we'd have exactly the same shaft loft and weighting system in each of them but we do a little bit of fitting plus we have to use what we've been given so we I have the Titleist ts3 and a 9.5 head was that with a hazardous 60 gram 6.5 shaft neutral weight the PG 410 class was 9 degrees with the paint or 65s shaft in it Callaway's epic flash sub-zero was 9 degrees with a hazardous 6.5 70 gram shaft in it Mizuno zesty 190 was 9 degrees with the tents a 70 gram expects shaft in it TaylorMade's m5 was nine and a half degrees with an out Diller 70 X shaft in it mid spinning no shot shape bias and then finally the Cobra King f9 was in 9 degrees with the weight forward and the hazardous smoke 6.5 60 gram shaft and it was well the same shaft that was in the Titleist team s3 so that's how different the drivers were but each of the drivers we felt we'd got into a position where they were really as comparable as we were going to get them in order for the data to be as robust as possible so let's take a look at that data starting with the Titleist ts3 so club head speed of 114 point 1 full speed 160 5.6 launching at fourteen point one spinning low actually this was the lowest spinning driver on the test at 1712 peak height 35 yards and the total carry distance average carry distance was to nine now this is the average numbers for each of the drivers so fantastic performance from the tightness ts3 then it was the ping clubhead speed slightly up for one hundred and fourteen point nine ball speed at one sixty five point eight launching at thirteen point two degrees spinning really nicely for me at nineteen sixty three peak height really good a really strong ball flight slightly high but really strong at thirty six yards and also an average carry distance of two ninety nine and it was the callaway epic flash sub-zero one hundred and fourteen point seven club head speed ball speed was one sixty five point seven the launch was thirteen point eight degrees so nice high launch spinning nice and low at seventeen twenty two so that combination of high launch low spin working really well for the callaway 34 peak height and a total carry yardage of two hundred and ninety seven so really strong performance from the callaway then it was cobra and there was a jump in terms of club head speed of 115 point one miles per hour now that jumping club has been maybe it shows that the work that cobra have done on their speed back design is delivering a little bit more club head speed that would be my experience and look at how that translates into extra ball speed as well one sixty seven point four for me it was launching a little bit lower at twelve point one and spinning a little bit high at 23:57 now i should say at this point that the strikes i was getting with the cobra was slightly lower on the face nut than they were with some of the other clubs I was testing and that was delivering a little bit more spin so that the overall peak height was higher at 36 and the carry distance wasn't quite so much at 290 I think if I made a few tweaks or if I started striking it that little bit higher on the face the overall distance numbers would be just the same with the Cobra as they were with the others really impressive club head speed and really impressive ball speed then on to the TaylorMade and this is a really interesting one so the club head speed was down at 110 point three miles per hour now I need to be completely transparent and tell you that this was the last driver on the test that I hit by the time I got to the TaylorMade I'd hit possibly forty balls I think so perhaps this wing was slowing down a fraction I don't know however so the swing speed was down but look at the ball speed of 160 6.5 I think that shows that the work that TaylorMade have done with their injected twist face perhaps there is something in that the those coefficient of restitution limits being right up to the limit I was certainly getting more well really strong ball speed from a slightly less of a club head speed so perhaps if I was able to swing the club a little bit harder I'd get a little bit more distance that was really apparent with the TaylorMade launching a little lower at twelve point one really nice mid spinning performance for me at twenty twenty five slightly lower peak height than the others on the test at 33 yards and so whilst it was like I say only carrying 292 that's carrying a hell of a long way for me the overall distance with the TaylorMade would certainly be comparable with the other drivers that I hit and finally the Mizuno so Mizuno club head speed of 112 point to ball speed of 165 point six launching at twelve point seven spinning at nineteen sixty-five peak height thirty-four at a total carry distance for me with the Mizuno st 190 of two nine three now the reason that I went with the st 190 over the G version it's that's that I think it spins a fraction higher than the moveable weight version of for me I think I hit the st1 9g just a fraction better than I hit the st 190g and I preferred the feel of the st 190 that's why I went for that version of the driver and I think you can see from the performance here that it really does stack up okay so if I was to choose my favorite in the performance category and I really hate to have to sit on the fence here but it would be really unfair for me to pick one driver over any of the other six that I tested I'm not a robot I'm also not a PGA professional to my swing I'm a 5 handicap and my swing everytime is not exactly the same so I'm pretty sure the results from one day wouldn't be exactly the same as results from another day and when you look at how similar those results are across the board then I think it's fair to say that whatever driver you pick up if it's right for you if it's in your spec and expect out exactly correctly for you you will find fantastic distance forgiveness and overall performance will be superb from which ever you driver you to so as I say I hate to have to dip I'm going to have to sit on the fence and say I love the performance of all of the six drivers they tested okay so moving on to the value I'm going to quote to you now the recommended retail prices of each of these drivers on the market in the UK now if you don't better shopping around you might be able to find it a little bit cheaper but this is the recommended retail price and it does give you a good indication of where they sit on the whole price spectrum so the Cobra is the least expensive at 349 pounds and then it's the Mizuno st 190 at 399 pings G for 10-plus at 450 pounds and then you have Callaway tightness and tailor-made all on the same recommended retail price all on sale for 499 pounds now I think it's fair to say there has been a trend this year towards pushing the prices up of the drivers with the exception I think of Cobra and that Cobra driver coming in at 349 I think that in this market I think that represents excellent value for money now one thing I would say is that whichever brand you go for it's not a cheap investment it's you're going to have to get your wallet out it is a an investment that you can need to spend some time thinking about and it is expensive so of course it really is imperative to go through a full and thorough custom fitting if you get the fitting right then you can get each of those spin numbers I was talking about exactly right for you you can get the launch number right for you and if you get those aspects correct then you will find more distance in your driver game I'm pretty much sure even if you bought a driver from last year I still think with a thorough custom fitting in 2019 you might just be able to eke out a few extra yards but if I was going to pick one driver based on value it would have to be the Cobra King F 9 speed back it's a great driver and coming in at 349 I think this represents excellent value for money okay so on to the verdict and I've done this to the group driver test for a few years now and never has it been harder to pick one driver over the other because of that performance element I was talking about we have the launch monitor data the launch monitor data across the board when all drivers are fitted well and all are in the right spec they're all superb now one thing I will say before I tell you which I think I would put into my bag is that I think the driver market in 2019 is looking really really healthy now I know there is an awful lot of skepticism out there because the manufacturers come out year after year after year and keep promising more speed more distance in a way that after a while started you start to get a little bit immune to it and you start to get a little bit skeptical about those promises and I know that there is a big marketing machine working away behind each of these brands however what I would say is that each of those brands they do spend a lot of money on R&D and they do realize the importance of producing drivers that are faster from one year to the next and let's face it how many of you were watching this will upgrade their driver every single year really I think you're going to notice big gains if you upgrade your driver every I don't know two three four years that's when you're going to start to know significant distance gains and as I say I think each of the brands has upped their game for 2019 and I think whichever brand you go for if you have a loyalty towards one brand if one brand you feel like yeah that's the sort of golf club I want to play and I think that's a really good way to go if I had to choose my favorite driver well I had one of these drivers in my bag before this test and it was the tightness ts3 and the numbers from the launch monitor would confirm that this really is a good fit for me and I really like it I like the way that it feels yes it has slightly more of an understated look I don't quite like the look and the feel maybe quite as much as the tailor made but it's not enough of a reason for me to switch this out of my bag so I'd be going for the Titleist ts3 however having said that I would be happy using any of the drivers that I've tested here guys thank you very much for watching please do

so New Year means lots of new gear here was our rundown of the top five drivers for 2019 [Music] [Music] hi Ryan Russell here for golf shake calm and as I've said we're going to look at the top five drivers available in 2019 and don't forget if you like the content subscribe to the channel below and see loads more features on 2019 product to really help you play your best golf this year okay so tight lists es3 this is a driver that I really enjoyed and it's currently in the bag for me ts3 really because it was a little bit more customizable for me TS stands for Titleist speed so really lightweight chassis they've really thin the face out as well so I've just found that ball speed with this is as fast as I can get really the design of the driver is changed drastically from nine one seven in that is the head is lighter the weights been redistributed the face is thinner it's got a similar customizable weight port which I really found helped me as a person who it's a bit of a draw moving that weight into the toe has helped me to straighten the ball fly up a lot and obviously the short fit Hazell that Titleist has in order to really dial in that the right loft and whether the faces or pry flat flatter or open and closed as well as really really help dial in the ball flight for me so it's part of the TS family TS two is also available slightly less movability in terms of this there's no moveable weights and things like that in the head but still offers that fantastic speed off the face that the Titleist Speed series is renowned for so ts2 is really designed for the guy who wants to hit the ball very very straight very long with little workability ts3 is there for the guy who wants to maybe work the ball a little bit off the tee [Music] so next on the list is Callaway epic flash an epic flash sub-zero I absolutely loved hittin these drivers every time I hit one it does nothing but go straight and what more do you actually want than that so using flash face technology for the first time where Callaway have employed artificial intelligence to help them design the driver face and 15,000 times this computer has designed redesigned and tweaked the face to make it as hot as possible for all of us to hit the ball the furthest again very adjustable so the two system that they have on the hosel allows you to play around with a loft and also the draw settings on the driver there as well sub-zero model a little bit lower spin movable weight on the back there as well to help with the draw and fade bias but this driver delivers in bucket loads and it is so so good to hit m5 and m6 drivers from TaylorMade this year we've seen the addition of speed injected twist face now the technology that's been put in there really helps to make the face as fast as possible so we're getting close to the limit ball speed in both models m5 is a little bit more adjustable in terms of the T track weight system that it has so we can really dial in the ball flight it's got very thin crown much more matte finish than previous models which I really like hammerhead to pointe-noire technology in there as well maintaining ball speed even if we hit it lower on the face m6 a little bit more mainstream in terms of who it's aimed at so lower center of gravity really high mo I switch for that guy who maybe doesn't hit the middle of the face as often as they'd like to maintain that straightness of ball flight and really give you a bit more forgiveness both of these drivers deliver massively when we've tested them on the range they're really fast ball speed and absolute joy to hit [Music] Cobra f9 speed back it's not only bright but it goes a long way the speed back technology has lowered the center of gravity and higher the mo I so the drivers both forgiving but also launches a ball really high but with low spin which is crucial for distance so it's still got the 360 Aero technology getting that what air flowing really nicely around the head the CNC milled face which we saw in f8 last year continues as well but the speed back technology is the big story very Custom Fit able as well so flip the weight from front to back to change mo eye and spin loads of shafts available in this driver with no approach as well and I think from a price point perspective it really knocks knocks it out the park for me hitting this driver was really really exciting and the ball speed and distance who again was phenomenal g4 10 Ranger drivers from pitting offer extreme forgiveness in a really really nice looking package so this driver I think is the nicest one ping I've ever brought out the biggest selling point is its its first ever moveable weight driver that ping of brought out the weight is as far back and on the perimeter of the driver as possible so really moving that way into a fade or draw position has the most effect on the ball flight which really is is what we want so we want to be able to dial that driver in for us available in nine ten and a half and twelve degree loft so really something out there to suit everybody we all know ping is renowned for its quality it still maintains some of the design features we've seen in previous drivers with slight update so the Dragonfly technology that we see on the top of the driver has been refined slightly and also the turbulator z-- which we've come to know ping four on the top have been slightly modified in order to get the air flowing around the head better when we swing the golf club and really maximize distance and after the first hit with this I could tell straight away that that golf ball is coming off really really hot and it was very straight as well through the air ok so there we have it that's five of our favourite drivers available for 2019 I hope you liked the video if you did was a big thumbs up let us know as well if you're going to be gaming one of these drivers this year and which one you've chosen and why see you all very soon and I hope you enjoyed the video [Music]

[Music] this is the driver to beat in 2019 it appears to have it all performance looks sound technology values and it's already been validated with wins on tour however it's not why perfect hi guys

this video around show it to your girlfriends via text message email whatsapp social media so you can let them know about the review of this new Copa driver so this is the Cobra King f 9 speed back driver when I first saw images of this driver a couple of months ago I really wasn't impressed I thought the look of it from this side just looked a bit gimmicky I didn't particularly like the yellow I felt like it looked like bumblebee from Transformers and I was almost half expecting Ronald McDonald's come and deliver this drive and for me to test and then I saw this driver in the flesh for the first time I thought the head cover off and like the imagery the bottom of the driver was bright the yellow around the edges just wasn't fitting my eye whatsoever it appeared from the bottom of the driving it was a very triangular shaped so I'm not the biggest fan then I put the club down behind the golf ball put it on the ground and suddenly the whole drivers image flipped it didn't look gimmicky it didn't look like the bottom of the driver it looked mean it like a an aggressive sports car it looked fast it looked like the Batmobile almost looking down on the driver it it just completely changed my mind and that's really the psyche of the driver you're gonna see the most when it sat behind the ball and I was like oh hold on I'm seeing this driving a whole new light now completely different from the bottom of the driver I was excited to test so with this driver the big store is is aerodynamics speed back and bringing the center of gravity as low as far back as possible and Cobra claim that that is that revolutionary they wanted speed back in the name of the driver that's so important they see it being there's two weights that are flippable one at the front or at the back one is it 14 grams so they're heavier one and two grams is the lightest way as well there is adjustable loft so you can go up and down by one and a half degrees and there are three different draw settings that you can produce this driver in and it comes in three different lofts I've got this in the nine degree loft but just come in with a more lofted and least lofted setting as well it's got the milled face that we saw in the f8 driver a way of them getting the tolerance as tight as possible to get the face thinner and faster than they ever produce so it's packed with some technology and what's interesting is the price so for 2019 drivers have been going through the roof prices are going crazy well the Cobra f9 driver is three hundred and forty nine pounds and in US four hundred and forty nine dollars so compared to the drivers that have already come out this year you tell them age of Callaway's it's a different price point completely one that shocked me so it's like well hold on those two performance still stack up and not only do you get all that's going on with the head cobras still featuring the Cobra Connect it's a way of you be able to track he drives out on the golf course by connecting to an app on your phone just a lot going on here and I'm going to look a little bit more closely at the head it definitely looks very different on the top of the head for the Cobra driver and they claim it's the most aerodynamic shape that can possibly make so it's almost got more of a rounded shape from the face of the top crown these little kind of speed strips almost on the top of the go faster stripes on the top is helping with aerodynamics that's what they claim got a carbon top and then these two ridges that go through apparently stiffen that Carbon top as well so that's all well and good and it is packed with a lot of technology but does it stack up on performance considering the prices driver compared to some of the ones that have come out so far this year that's where I put it test inside with GC quad probe Ewan's before taking out on the Gulf Coast Sarah did let's see how the Cobra kinged f94 so I had the weight forward at first so that 14 gram weight in the front that gives me the best settings and in my ideal setting for this driver [Music] so and this is my optimum performance chart of the driver shots I've hit over the last 12 months now this is the data I was getting from the Cobra King f9 I was carrying the Cobra King f9 291 yards so it's decent hitting good distances for 311 total distance I was launching at fourteen point five degrees and spinning it at 2250 so pretty much what I like to see distance wise a little bit over the average but doing exactly what I needed to do distance where was that distance coming from was it coming from ball speed or was it coming from Claudette speed so my normal club head speed with the driver is around 110 to 130 miles per hour club head speed I was getting 113 miles per hour plus from the Cobra f9 therefore getting more ball speed than I would normally expect I was getting ball speeds of a hundred and sixty two point five that's some of the best I've ever seen certainly in tests in the last 12 months it's also worth noting on/off sense of hits they performed well I hit one low and heel it found the middle of the fairway and I'd lost distance granted cuz it was a low strike but I didn't lose massive amounts of distance so off-centered hits I was pretty impressed with on the ones I experienced when testing I also did a test where I flipped the weight to the back just to see how much of a difference that way actually makes and I didn't see much of a difference to be honest I was carrying it around the same just a couple of yards under but mainly due to a fraction of higher spin I was expecting maybe to see three 400 rpm difference in spin I saw next to no difference in spin when I moved those weights around so it's something to note I also took the opportunity to test a new at nine against f8 plus from last year so the similar component similar drivers in the same shaft what as I seen was different well for me that carry distance I was getting with the f9 was five yards longer than f8 so therefore is getting slightly more total distance but what was really interesting is the club at speed between f9 and f/8 on the same day testing in the same shaft I was experiencing miles Prower extra gain of club head speed from the f9 driver now you've got to be presuming that's going to be coming from that aerodynamic shape because it was the same day with the same shaft there's no reason why it should have been any different whatsoever so I was getting more distance just Julie so the fact I was swinging it faster so so far performance he was doing everything I need it to do then it was time to take out on the golf course [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] so after testing the Cobra f9 driver on the golf course and with the GC quad it's gotta be said it's one of the best drivers that I've tested what I saw indoor and the distances and the extra club head speed is exactly what I was experiencing out on the golf course I seem to be hitting this driver a long way it gave me the confidence I could swing it fast it seems before well I'm off sense with it and it sounds incredible it's the one thing sound can really put me off a driver this driver the best sounding driver in my opinion that's ever been made it has that kind of crunchy dead satisfying noise when you hit this driver it really does sound like nothing I've hit before it must be a combination of all of the materials that go into this driver however this driver isn't quite perfect there are a few things that I would change the first thing being this kind of yellow color around the bottom of the club it just looks horrible it's a bit garish it does come in white I think definitely looks better I also would love to see the top of this drivers much long really like the top of this driver it's a shiny finish that chopper driver a mat would look sensational it really would and the other big thing the negative on this is typically when Cobra bring out a driver they'll bring out standard version and a plus version and the Plus version will offer a few more fade settings Alysha there is only one driver and therefore they're not catering for golfers who draw the ball or hook the ball a little bit too much there's no fade settings whatsoever there are three draw settings which I don't know I felt you're only catering for for a small market not for every golfer in the world but that being said for the price and it's refreshing to review a driver that's under the 500 pound like $500 mark this is 349 pounds when it first comes the retail of $449 for the price for everything that you get for the technology for the fact this driver does what it should do in the fact he's probably performing better than some of the drivers that are already out there at 500 pound and it features a lot more I liked say I've not really even tapped into that Cobra connects it's not something I would possibly use only because I don't like the fact you have to have your phone in your pocket to test it kind of puts me off but that's not for everyone I'm sure a lot of people would appreciate that as a driver goes the 2019 I would honestly put this at the top of the pile so far this is the driver to B it does everything and I honestly think it's the best sounding driver I've ever tested guys thanks watching stay tuned lots more to come that was my full in-depth review of the Cobra f9 speed boat driver he new to the channel hit subscribe enjoy the videos smash that like and leave me a comment down below do you think this is where the price of drivers should sit in 2019 thanks for watching and we'll see you next time [Music]

the driver it's the club we all love to hit and if you've got the need for speed this season then you're in luck because that's the theme of 2019 Callaway went rogue last year but have reinvented their epic line first introduced in 2017 with two new flash models sliding track near the back of the soul has returned but the clubface is what's most noteworthy artificial intelligence and machine learning created the rippled finish on their new flash face that transfers maximum impact all across the face give the flash sub-zero model a swing if you want a more forward CG with lower launch and spin Titleist stamp two letters on their two new 460cc driver Center tes or Titleist speed a thinner face and Crown Plus streamline shapes give the ts2 explosive distance higher launch and maximum forgiveness ts3 a more penetrating specialized speed expect to see these bombers in plenty of Tour bags this season TaylorMade took the newest members of their M family way beyond the legal limit for ball speed then injected the twist face with just enough resin to return to conformity the result the m5 with sliding weights and the m6 without a smaller carbon composite crown and much larger sweet spot on these beauties should give you all the performance you've grown to love in tailor-made dry road the speed on this drivers man the pork was officially unveiled Bridgestone's new tour bjg our driver was used by Brandt Snedeker to shoot 59 and win the 2018 Windham finish in style but mid to high handicappers will like this club as well the clean powerful design has a draw biased club head and the faces micro grooves are the deepest ever for a Bridgestone driver helping to reduce side spin with a quieter sounded impact the most this high launch low spin driver is making waves Cobras F 9 speed back sought to combine aerodynamics with a lower center of gravity the carbon-fiber crown has reduced drag and overall weight allowing the weight in the rear sole to lower the CG the CNC milled face improves results on off centre hits reducing spin on shots hit high off the face while increasing the launch angle on balls hit low on the face shirts on is back rivaling the best in the industry with their new Z 785 yet another club maker to trade titanium for a carbon crown to reduce weight and add forgiveness this driver also boasts a stronger lighter and larger hitting surface it's also offered in the non adjustable Z 585 model for a slightly higher and straighter trajectory especially on off-center content some other big dogs making waves Ping's G 410 driver combines their industry-leading stability with a 16 gram sliding tungsten weight for extra customization and from the drawing board to the tee box the winner of Wilson's driver vers driver competition was the cortex maybe their best driver ever from fields sound to maximum adjustability give this winner a chance to win you'll and if you need help choosing the best driver for you let's go take some swings from your local PGA professional and get dialed in in 2019

what's happening guys it's Jackie from golf magic I'm at the Palmer course at Reunion Resort in Orlando Florida today's video is a big one we're gonna be showing you golf magics top five drivers for 2019 [Music] when I kick things off with a king f9 speedboat driving from Cobra it was inspired by supercars hence the vibrant colors and sharp design it's got an aerodynamic head combine the low center of gravity promoting really fast ball speeds it's on the cheaper drivers on the market for 2019 coming in at 349 pounds and it was an easy choice for golf magic to top five [Music] secondly we've got the HT 190g driver from Mizuno is engineered for low spin and features fast-track technology with two seven gram weights running parallel on the sole of the club for us is one of the best looking drivers in the market this year and with the fast-track technology is certainly one the most adjustable it comes in that price point of 399 pounds it was easy choice with gold magic - top 5 next up we've got the Callaway epic flash powered by artificial intelligence it created flash face to promote faster ball speeds and more distance in ever before I've also got that popular jailbreak technology album for more forgiveness on the Miss it's also got a sliding perimeter weight help me promote fade or draw ever comfortable short is for you it comes in a bit of a premium price tag with 449 pounds but this is on the fastest drivers on the market and that's why it's in got very top 5 [Music] now got the TaylorMade m5 driver to speed injected twist face meaning that every club head that the tailor may produce is the same make it all a new buyer as spicy as the one in Tiger Woods back you've also got inverted T track system when you can promote a high draw low fade whatever shot shaped comfortable for you it comes in at four hundred forty nine pounds this is TaylorMade's fastest ever driver making it perfect for golf magics top five [Music] released just this week here at the PGA Merchandise Show in Orlando we've got the ping Jie for 10 it takes over from the popular ping Jie 400 driver which flew off the shelves it's got an adjustable weight in the back of the club and by being placed in the back of the club increases mo I making this the most forgiving drivers on the market we also enhance the turbulator xin the crown of the club making the even more aerodynamic ping haven't released the prices for this driver yet but it was easy for us and it flew into gulf magics top five [Music] and there we have it that it's golf magic to top five drivers for 2019 there are some incredible technology in the driver market this year that we're really excited to see out and saw comment and let us know which driver you like best and stay tuned on golf magic for plenty more reviews

morning al today I'm gonna talk my top five buying a driver tips what should you be thinking about when buying one of these so let's start with looks and sounds I'm gonna start here because I think it's sometimes something that lots of couples don't have the confidence to believe this even an aspect of the buying process and it has to be for choosing a jar for me it's net what all through my life it would never be about trying every driver it be choosing one I like the look sound then in turn the feel of and then trying that one maybe against one or two others that I also quite like the look and sound and feel awful if you think about the driver are you so this is the tf2 I use the ts3 it's a different shape to this one that's why I use it over this one sound was very similar so that wasn't something that would coming into this one the look of it so the shape of how much rolling bowls appears on the clubs to the color to the way it sits on the ground so the actual shape of the head and that would apply to if I'm buying a ping TaylorMade Callaway Cobra Rickson anything Mizuno whatever it's gonna be that look and sound that really want to kind of sell it in to me originally and that'd be a case of seeing some house hitting them picking them up in a pro shop having a few looks maybe I'm gonna quit go on my own as well I've got a demo just having a few goes on my head before I then go for my fitting just hitting some internet down range even if they're loud take it out on the course but I'm not gonna buy there and then I just want to just you know see if I do like look and sound of it and then I want to go and get some numbers and test for it the looks and sound are as important as anything else you've got to play with this club for two three years maybe ten years whatever you know they're not cheap you've got to like looking down lit and wanting to gain that Golf Club those kind of ideas then can continue into your fit but then you're going to be thinking about things like launches and spins let's let's have a think about that so bit of a craze for lots of people and certainly manufactures to go a little low in the spin so when it comes to thinking about spin characters sticks with your driver you've got to work with your fitter and go you'll have your perceptions but go with their lead if they're a good experienced fitter give you an example yeah I've got the epic flash but in the sub-zero and it this could apply to all manufactures f9 wait at the front same ideas tight this ds3 and lower spinning slightly out of tune ping g400 in the LS tech I know this isn't one that they make an LS tech as well I see a lot of purchasers golfers people online people coming into shops thinking that they spin their driver a lot so they want to go the low spin option the general options in all these clubs and you're gonna save around 3 max I've seen 500 revs the general rule of thumb the people who tend to spin the ball a lot they're spinning it by a thousand two thousand two thousand five hundred revs too much none of these clubs are going to reduce spin that much if you want to really work on dialing in Lords and spins yes these clubs can fine-tune but they're not gonna rip a thousand or two thousand revs a minute away from your eyes giving you some better launch or some better carries through the air where most golfers you give them the most ability that you can get your hands on you won't get the ball falling out the air as much you will get a little bit more stability on their flight's which then in turn will give them the best numbers what I found that I use nervously in Javas because I'm falling into this trap as well myself is that yes they give me my longest numbers so launch monitor numbers are the longest averages can go up so what I find when I actually go out and play with them on a golf course is over a bigger data set my average is drop way down because the miss hits just fall out the air the stability isn't there in the flight so yes I get the knuckleball that goes further than any have a shot and I out drive the old person I think all that's funny and that's all great but so many other times I'm forty thirty yards back of where I think I should be subject to the strike up here because the spins dropping off or the ball falls out the air and then the reality of that seduction of the launch mullet numbers disappears very quickly rule of thumb most golfers trying to rip spin off through heads a little bit dangerous more than it helps not saying that low spin drivers don't have a place that absolutely do for some they are fantastic but generally for your average golfer be very careful being seduced by those long balls on the launch monitor carry out the shots I need to hit the play goal for me when I'm hitting my TS three times driver the one I game I need to be out know that I can draw it when I want to fade it one I want to possibly hit a straight one it's not apply to everyone because you might not be someone who naturally can shape the ball but the fact that did not come out the middle I can do what I want to do it when I'm on the course away from this very Fox fitting environment on a range in an indoor studio I've seen it time and time again students tend to get a little bit sitting reviews it really I see people just trying to send it as far as they can like how far can this driver go and then you get out on the golf course and I see this with lesson time and time again it's just not how they play or hit that Club on the course for me but the big question for me is when I look down and it the way it sits the looks the sounds the colors all those other aspects today make me feel like I can do that shape hit that shot and there'll be plenty of occasions where I need to stand at the left to try and cut back it has to give me the confidence to make those shots and for you don't get bogged down and thinking or I don't draw or fader I just hit one shot okay that's good but when you do hit it hard does it cut more or less when you play a safer one does it draw does it do the shape that you're used to seeing on the course but when you're getting fit when you try and collapse gain them don't turn it into this egotistic how far can you hit it online forum YouTube video craziness that I see out there game the club [Music] what about changeable moveable weights for me personally I wouldn't want any of my students buying a driver because the weight can be moved or changed every manufacturer I mean even ping now make a changeable weight one but before they did makes a variation of heads to cover all bases low spin and he right shots not that that's really gonna stop your same st. Andy right shots you know like yeah you under that go more draw biased II they're gonna do the same figure about the spin comment so I made a low spin it's the same kind of premise with that really with the fitter it gives them more options all the changeable weight ideas and necks that come on clubs I hate it when I got students who really dabble in that I seemed go round and round in circles if they want to make a change I like them to come back to me and we try and work through why they want that change together is it the club or is it actually something they're doing in their swing the other thing is well those changeable elements to the club have really come into place because it actually helps the tall fitters who need to change a lie a loft a weight placement on a head almost instantly with click so that player can then go out and play with it rather than having to glue things bend things you know maneuver things that gives them a higher tolerance and a higher fitting ability the changeable wake should I buy changeable wake technology if it's we're calling it or not for me it's about the fitting process than it is you dabbling with it once you've got it fit already changeable waits for the manufactures and the fears for me not so much the buyer what about shelf life is shelf life something you would think about when buying a new driver so some clubs will have a longer shelf life than others some brands carry more weight when it comes to the resale resale is something I would never think about when I used to buy a driver I'd get the old like the best one for me but I use the term buying a driver loosely because I've never really bought a driver because I've always won money to buy them such and not my hard-earned cash and then obviously as a pro I was always given drivers and had demo ones and ones who have never really bought one but I remember when I was fitting lots people would ask me you know is there a resale value for this what you know they would also have ideas of which brands will keep their money more obviously subject to how quickly they rerelease different new models and the model they're getting because sometimes you're not buying a flagship model then the price might drop off much quicker me personally I wouldn't use this as a Brian premise but as I've said before I'm not really spending my money on it so if you're someone who is a bit of a driver changer that might be something that's kind of important to you and the brands generally that tend to hold their price a bit more as a general rule ping Titleist Callaway do quite well and tailor-made to a certain extent those two obviously at the end they're bear in mind they can release clubs quite quickly but then your lesser brands you really see massive drop-offs when it comes to trading binax it's not as desirable there we go let me know what you think there's my top 5 I've got some little footnotes some noticeable mentions so price obviously key but the price is so relative to whoever's watching this video you know one person's expensive is another person's cheap so the price needs to relate to you personally but keep it within your budget their brand will pay its part you'll have certain brand alliances and remember like I said earlier each brand does tend to make every version of the driver certainly in the top ones if you want the low-spin the keep left one all the medium range friendly one I'm so proud definitely is something if you're into your brands you know they all make good drivers these days and this is a really big one for me certainly as a pro certainly someone used to work in Pro Shops the amount of people that I would see coming with drivers from eBay they're fakes the Farrell's loose from some dodgy site where it was Underpants cheaper let me put it out if you're buying a brand new driver and it's a hundred pounds cheaper than the recommended retails or the going price that is a fake just that there's nothing cheaper there the price there our prices are not controlled in the UK that's illegal but they are controlled to a certain extent they're fakes the hundred pound cheaper ones and then where you buy will give you the quality of service you get from the quality of fittings you get the quality of returns so it does go wrong with it for me where you buy it would be a key part of the process to making sure you're getting the best driver and then surface and after service for you as a golfer you're certainly gonna get some your best fittings from PGA pros and pros would dedicate to fitting and coaching in my opinion first go down below let me know what you think have I miss any out what's the most important aspect for you when it comes to buying the driver hit that comment section up down below would you change them around would you put some of the footnotes in as the main point again let me know these are just some of my opinions of what I've seen over years of watching people buy a drivers selling drivers for years when I worked in shops and coaching people who asked me for advice on what driver they should get these are some of the points I would point out for them and they're looking for the best Club for their game in that comment section down below as always sorry to say I'm not playing in the Sun and Dale forces with Dan this week which we should have been shipping down there today no one's on Twitter with know this because I posted earlier dad hasn't man through it's a serious case of Man Thing so my only competitive round for I don't know how long he's calm never

from testing it just to bring you guys this video while I'm still hot yeah this is about as hyped as I get to be that but that goes far saying the only thing safe in my bag at the moment is these the ions are here to stay I mean seriously ions drivers fairways wedges putters golf balls all the Bruns have you covered for everything that wasn't a very good one there you see and I was testing a few products last night at the driving range you heard that right up and going to the driving range afterwards to hit golf ball and this is all down to the excitement of the new product usually I'm as skeptical as probably some of you guys are how much better can things get and the answer to that the answer the answer to that a whole load better you see there's some very very very clever people with some very very very powerful and very very very wealthy companies behind them I don't want to tell you too much but some of them look fantastic as well so will the new one get me from there back to that quick funny story as well actually last night I went into the driving range like I just told you and I took the new driver and the new driver to test and just to try out really but I thought current head comes on it but the ts3 head cover on the driver and I put the TaylorMade m3 cover on the new driver just as people wouldn't know what they were story continues that's good and that's exactly why the AIIMS aren't going anywhere anyway back to the story so I'm at the driving range pit count ones to be precise down here Sheffield Rotherham and someone comes over and says oh wow he's that the tactless ts3 driver and I might thinking oh no and the reach for the head cover and I do this it is but it's mine you can't touch I'm really sorry no one's allowed to touch the driver not even no sorry No so that guy's gonna think I'm a bit of a weirdo I'm not gonna risk ruining it no way am I gonna ruin it really do need to stop throwing things so what did we all make anyway the little promo videos that the brands have been released in d like em do you not like them do you think you'd rather just see it all or is he doing exactly what it's supposed to do stirring up interest and let me just get one thing straight as well this video isn't me saying that this guy is completely done for in fact quite the opposite I'm going to do so much testing with this guy in the new year I'm going to put it against the new this is very difficult I'm not even sure I'm allowed to tell you what the column there I know that you know what the card I'll get in trouble for telling you guys what they call in case the brand's don't know that you guys know they know what the cold anyway I'm going to put this guy head-to-head against pretty much anything that's coming out and I'm also going to put the other drivers head-to-head for what's coming out so if you want to see that and you've not hit that subscribe button already make sure you do put that thumbs up for this video if you've
