Rick Shiels PGA Golf Coach at Trafford Golf Centre tests the Nike Covert Driver against the TaylorMade SLDR Driver to see which one is the longest and best! Which one out of the Nike covert and the TaylorMade SLDR will win the challenge and rein supreme.

  3. Just tried both of these at my local golf store.

    Have to say the nike covert is the nicest driver I’ve ever used. I’ve
    always sliced really hard

    Covert with a stiff shaft, hitting fairway 4/5.

    Only know about the club do to your channel.

    Thanks Rick! 

  6. Rick, would it be possible for you to test the SLDR against itself.
    Apparently the reason the SLDR gains distance is it’s low spin, due low
    forward CG. To make up for the low spin you need a higher loft to get the
    right launch. Could you for interests sake post a video where you compare
    distances at greater than your usual loft?

    Thanks in advance,

  7. Amazing that you hit longer drive with slower clubhead speed!!!

    It’s the smash factor improvement which causes more distance from 1.41
    –>1.48

  8. I watch these videos all the time and I cant believe a pro doesn’t
    understand what taylormade is doing. {loft up with sldr} ,rick only gets
    his sldr at 10.3 launch and lower and spin rate at 2717 if he launches his
    ball same or higher than the nike covert he would carry further and get his
    total over 300 yards easy. worst viudeo ever. post back if u think im
    correct or not
    

  9. The only complaint I have with this video is the whole idea behind the SLDR
    is loft up 10.5 degrees or higher. It’s a low spin driver so low loft is
    going to have a lower ball flight. If it was at, at least 10 degrees you
    would smash it 

  17. The thought that a club that is so easily adjusted needs to be test against
    another equivalent club in dispersion is stupid. Every company makes a
    fitting process that allows any club to be dispersed decently by any
    average golfer. Dispersion comparison is gay 

  18. Loving these ‘compare’ videos. lets be fair, the average club golfer (like
    me) just wants to know about how far!!!!! We dont give a shit about spin
    rates, launch angles etc.
    ONE COMMENT – as us normal golfers have a swing speed about 90mph, can you
    have a ‘mate’ hit the ball too and compare against the clubs with a normal
    swingspeed.

  21. I’d take the covert all day.Carries the same distance with 4.5 mph less
    club head speed and better dispersion.You seem to fixate on total distance
    in your reviews when carry is the figure that is really what most golfers
    should pay attention to,unless you play in dry conditions.Still enjoy your
    vids.

  22. you should hit each one 10 times. 5 with one club 10 with the other then 5
    more with the first. this way you are warmed up for both clubs. ive tested
    a few clubs out at dicks sporting goods. i hit one club 5 times then
    tested several other clubs.i then went back to the club i hit first and i
    hit it a little better the second time around

  24. Picking up from ‘johnandy683’ comment & the SLDR loft: All tour players
    using it have found to get their optimum launch angles/spin rates because
    the weight moves the CG lower & further forward their loft on the SLDR has
    gone up in pretty much every case. The SLDR gives a much less spin rate at
    around 2000rpm (even lower at some swing speeds) so you need to add loft to
    the club to get the ideal launch angle & maximum distance with the optimum
    descent angle so you get best carry & roll. Although this may seem counter
    intuitive to you Rick given your normal driver’s loft etc. but for you to
    get the best distance out of the SLDR you’d need to try the loft settings
    at 10.5 & 11.00 to get your best launch angle & distance out of the SLDR
    with your normal average swing & SS. Having it set at 9.5 would not have
    given you your best distance with this club as the CG is in quite a
    significantly different place compared to your own driver & others on the
    market. Try it with the loft at 10.5 and even 11 degrees and it will go
    quite a bit further than you managed to hit when set at 9.5. This may seem
    a bit strange to you but if you don’t believe me, one, try it, I’ll be
    proved right, guarantee it, &, two, who doesn’t want to see if they can get
    more driver distance but still with the accuracy!!!!???? :)

  25. I used the SLDR with a stock stiff shaft for a tournament yesterday and I
    really hit it well. I hit a few in the 290-300 range and some of my best
    drives this year. I was also using the new Taylor Made Project (a) ball
    which really seems to fly off the club face. I’m going back out tomorrow to
    compare it to my Covert Tour 1.0. It seems more forgiving than the Covert
    for off center shots but that’s subjective based on feel and not distance.
    It also has a much larger face than the Covert and i thought it was easier
    to hit. I’m a Covert Tour fan and have owned it for a year. Ave drive in
    the 260-270 range with the Covert Tour 1.0.
