Taking looks and feel out of the equation, I think it's very hard not to recommend the Cobra, especially at a significantly lower price point than the Titleist. But the TSR range look SEXY.

[patrickbrain]

Such great, objective, and informative content!!

[nevilleadams]

The part where Ian talks about certain faces being “easier to close” and therefore more ball speed was really informative!

I’ve played the LTDx this year and I have to say it’s been one of my favorite ever. Forgiving and long— all for less $ than the big boys

[pensfan]

I think the most amazing part of this test was that Mikey was hitting almost every shot off the bottom of the clubface. Being a little more toe-biased at impact probably resulted in the draw and that gave him some more distance. He's capable of hitting the ball so much farther. Great job overall!

Great review and comparison! Removing the subjective categories the new top three are: Cobra (15 Pts), Titleist (14 Pts), Ping (11 Pts) & Taylormade (11Pts)

I feel like a group of people you're missing out on with testing is the high swing speed, high handicap players. Usually it's high swing speed and low handicap or low swing speed and high handicap. That being said, if you would someone who is comfortable in front of the camera and fits that group, give me a call lol

[HowAreYaCobber]

Love this! I swing it very similar to Mike and his specs! Very helpful!

[tylerpalmer]

I love when Mike does the testing. Our swing numbers are so similar. His testing of the LTDx early on is what ultimately clinched it for me and I got the LTDx LS. I absolutely love it. It is so long and forgiving for me. When I square it up, it just feels so fast, even though my swing speed is relatively low. The confidence factor definitely helps. I feel like I square it up a lot more often then not.

Take out the subjective looks, sound and feel categories then the real winner is the Cobra.
I think cost of the club should also be part of the test!
Great channel guys, love you all.

[tomjonsson]

Great video as usual guys! It would be interesting to see the same type of test with every driver fitted for Mikey or at least the same swingweight.

[marcduncan]

Would love to have you guys work with a 7-9 handicap 60+ year old high 80's low 90's Swing speed and see how you optimize their set up. Great info in all your videos. Keep it coming!

[jpcoll]

High handicapper here. I didn't care about sound or looks so I was very happy when I chose my G425 driver. Shorter yardages, unusual sound BUT what a fairway finder.

[chriselerick]

wow tsr taking both the players and forgiving tests is pretty remarkable. i’ve hit both and loved them. will be ordering soon!

[MrBogey]

I’m no cobra Stan, but in the last video I believe the spin std dev. Was around 65 with Ian’s shots (which is insane) and didn’t get a shout. Those are crazy numbers.

[stuartriddell]

Nice Job by Mike...Thats a task testing 6 drivers in a session, Looked like my last fitting with you !!! Exausting, Looks like a new Driver going in your bag before the season is out.... Interesting that Ian mentioned some heads are easier to close than others, Thanks Guys Great Content again and again... cheers

[andyl]

Great job Mikey, love reviews like this so thanks guys👍. With TSR2 I tried it yesterday & was recommended the premium Graphite Design AD option, any thoughts on how it compares to Tensei Blue 65? Only 55 available unfortunately & tip too active for me, weirdly I like it in my 3 wood

[jacobmccain]

I got fit into the Stealth from TSi3 bc it was the only one I could keep over 2000 spin consistently that looked good to me. I think they nailed the look of the TSR2 this year. Much less triangular looking.

[uwrossl]

The ball flight just looked hotter off the Titleist than the others so wasn't surprised to see ball speed up and spin in the proper window. Seems to be a common theme with the TSR line thus far. Looking forward to my fitting next month and testing them. I am looking forward to the new releases from Srixon that are coming up soon as well.

[troyrambo]

I"m not surprised by the results. That new driver has been getting great reviews.
