I purchased a PXG black ops because I was hitting it so much better at their store. Once I got the driver, it turns out to be hot trash. Return it, pay for restocking fee, back to my Sim 2 max.
Cool to see Louis Theroux test drivers. G430 10k is amazing
Mizuno st-g with the rails. The other with the weight across the back I think was the Taylor made ai smoke
See this guy swing the driver ,,,, that should simply explain what’s behind the merchandising of these extremely overpriced golf clubs. And by the way ,,, there is no such thing as consistency in any of these drivers ,, it’s the guy whose hands the club is in ,,, that’s where the consistency lies ,,
" all the latest releases…" But where is the new Cleveland Launcher XL2?
Driver doesn’t matter if your swing sucks rocks!!!!
Who really gives a shit what the noise sounds like. I want to see performance
The Ping certainly performed well, I just can’t come at the look and sound. The Turbulators look naf and it sounds like you have a tin can at the end of the shaft.
So a ping 10k max with a longer shaft like the mizuno and there is the best all round 😅
Dang it! Why did you make me spend another $599 on a driver!? I just bought the Cobra LTD 2 years ago! Oh well……time to upgrade I guess………. PS. don’t tell my wife!!!!!!
PING 10k sound was obnoxious in our testing. It’s almost as if they’ve returned to the G425 vibe. So many great forgiving drivers out there, no need to put up with that loud hollow clang sound.
Great review! Covering not just distance but dispersion and all important cost! Now just need to see how the club gets on when you’re out with Dan H…
Hope you see this. Can you give a review on the Tour Edge Exotic Driver
Gotta love how the. TSR3 is still crushing a lot of those drivers on your stats list. Appears to provide the most optimized numbers, along with the Darkspeed. All the other drivers that were longer, are a bit too low on spin.
Joe is great. Loved him on Dan’s channel.
Really comprehensive, I love it. That said, I would try to normalize the swing speed numbers buy deleting shots that were slower. It would be easier to compare carry yardage and ball speed numbers.
Missing the TSR4
Why didn’t you test the Ben Hogan latest driver GS 53 max
Get the Ping G400 max and save your money!
Until PING does away with the “turbulators,” I’ll never even bother testing one of their drivers.
Not ever the cobra
what shaft did u use in the ping
100% agree just put it in the bag today! Not a huge ping fan but the G430 10k is amazing.
I swear they all sound exactly the same in this video
What’s in your bag and who paid for your review in kind (free goods) ?
I’ve ended up with the Wilson. Tested best for me but initially wouldn’t buy it as not a “top” brand. Bought one of the big names but then picked up a Wilson on EBay for very little. Tried it on the course and fantastic- now staying in the bag!
Been playing a R9 Supertri with Black Tie 7M3, recently swapped heads to the R11 for lower spin. It’s within 5 yards of all these. Instead of crying about forgiveness, get better at golf.
Cobra darkspeed max or the mizuno 440cc with the adjustable weight across the back.
Which is better snd why?
I ended up with G430 ma
I ended up with the Qi10 max. First time on the course with it yesterday and I didn’t miss a fairway. Everyone in my foursome might have one soon. Lol
Love how the manufacturers have you all bamboozled. It’s the shaft not the head but ya know whatever.
John LAWSON gives very informative added datas on his Chanel (real loft, swing weight, for example).
IMO, a better way to choose a driver than just a good player trying all of them. But it’s only me.
Odd he didn’t test the Cleveland which has the best dispersion of all drivers this year.
Can you get your hands on the performance golf SF1 driver ?! They have some big claims.
I tried the ping 10k it’s Soo far offline compared to my Ai smoke triple Simon at 8 degrees, the ping sucked in my opinion
Great video, I’m no Golf expert but I believe you are going too far back in your backswing. 11:05 your lead elbow actually bends because you went too far back.
Great review Joe, all the best in your new role – as seen from the review your spot on and a great addition to Golf Monthly.
I especially liked where you picked up the shaft length variance especially where the driver depth is flattened, no-one else has picked that up. Also the price comparison is spot on which is a factor when looking at new clubs.
The cobra ltdx and the dank speed is awful
To hell with PING… and their attempt to pigeon hole consumers into premium shaft upgrade charges. Literally have to pay extra for a TENSEI AV… that’s all you need to know.
They all definitely sound the same…need a close up mic for that segment
This channel is awesome
PXG
Who cares how it looks. Just so it works.
2 days ago I literally went to get fitted thinking id walk away with the Qi10 or Ai Smoke. Good but hit some off target shots. I hit the Ping…every single one went dead straight. It was unreal. I could feel mishits and they still went somewhat straight. It’s not impossible to hit a bad shot…but the technology they’re using works. Now looking at review videos to see where it ranked, The Ping was THE one to get. As advertised!
I bought a “shop worn” Wilson Dynapower for $250 a few months back … compared to all the new releases, I almost feel like I stole it, and for me the performance was within about 5 yards of all the $600 drivers!👍🏻😂
Dude, idk where you are from but you absolutely cannot pickup a Cobra Darkspeed for $400. They are all retail at $550
Hi joe, Excellent presentation by yourself. Watched you when you were with Dan and not surprised by how natural you were. Been Loyal to Srixon and Cleveland over the years but would consider Cobra or Mizuno but the cost of a new driver is too high these days. Going to stick with my ZX7.
Noise doesn’t send the ball as far and as accurately as you want.
just a FYi your mic’s picked up barely any difference in sound
