Best Golf Drivers

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
