Great content guys as always. It’s always so hard to find honest and complete comparisons of multiple brands and their various models without bias of the particular YouTuber elsewhere. What I have found personally is that the shaft makes more difference than the head. The era of stiff and extra stiff is over and lightweight with more flex is where you gain distance
TM leads us of in 2024 ❤????
Hey guys great video. I’m a fairly high swing speed player. About 167-170 ball speed and I’m also a high spin player. My G430 LST and I just aren’t getting along at the moment. It’s set to max lowering setting from 9 degree with the stock chrome X flex shaft. Even on perfect strikes I’m still at 3500-3800 back spin. What’s the ultimate spin killer of these models?
I liked your review, but I would hope you would also include the dispersion patterns for all the drivers
Great video. Looks like I’m ordering qi10 max ????????
Why didn’t you include PXG?
New to the channel. Very informative. Thank you. I do have a question. I am currently a 16 handicap on my way to working down to a single digit this year (goal is 9). Currently at 100 clubhead speed, 142 ball speed. Doing personal training and speed stick training and will be at 105 club speed and about 150 ball speed by spring. Do you suggest the "Max version" of these options or the "middle version" between LS and Max for these options for a new driver. I'm looking at QI10, Ping G430, Callaway AI Smoke, and Cobra Darkspeek?
Great review guys, I am a high spin player with close to 180 mph ball speed so I have always gravitated towards the low spin drivers despite not being that accurate so I could do with some more forgiveness, so how do you think the 9 degree Darkspeed X (with the heavy weight forward) would perform vs the Darkspeed LS?
Why would you compare an 8.5 to a 10.5 in looking at distance? Of course the 8.5 will spin less and roll out further. It's physics. Wait till you get the proper lofts and heads in if you're doing a true head to head video. ????
and the new Cleveland launcher xl 2?
How do you not review and include the mizuno drivers?
Boys, there is another 10K monster out there, and I am sure you didn't have access to it as of yet, but PXG has also released a 10K driver which deserves looking into.
So who won? G430 LST?
Love the video lads, as always, very well done. I think I’ve shared this comment with you before but I’m a moderate swing speed player with the driver (97-100mph), but I do deliver a bit of excess loft and spin. My fitter put me in a Stealth 2+ Driver, 9 degrees turned down to 7.5 with the weight in the center and it has been absolutely excellent for me. The low loft and low spin has offset my high loft and high spin delivery and I’ve gained distance and accuracy in a club I never thought was suited for me with my swing speed and 6.1 handicap. I love that you always emphasize the importance of testing and fitting because you never quite know what will work for you until you try it with a trained fitter. Keep up the good work ????????♂️
Good review. As a consumer I will not buy any of these new clubs in protest of the high prices.
Good information here but can you do a video to go over the stock shafts in these new drivers to help choose the right shaft
Hi is there an exact MOI figure on the Ai Smoke Max. Would you say there is a notable difference between the 10k MOI drivers vs Stealth 2022 in terms of forgiveness/ dispersion!?
Most brands have a standard, a max and a low spin driver now.
Just what I was looking for!! Big thanks.
