love the club champion videos! just did a 5w fitting and driver shaft fitting. so much fun.

Went through basically the same fitting with similar swing speed. I ended up with the AI Max. Wasn't even on my radar until the fitting. I wanted the Ping or the Qi10 but they ended up being to spinny. The only thing that was close to the AI Max was the TSR3. You might get a few more yards by going with a higher lofted (10.5) AI Max and then setting it down a half a degree or more.

[JD-kplo]

love your sentiment on having your B swing for a fitting. I feel the same way. I dont want my A game during a fitting. I tested the Ping 10k. Thing was a cannon and just straight for me. Hard not to go with that one.

[chrismccarthy]

Found the same thing with cobra today. Highest ball speed among all contenders. Ping was straightest but ball speed about 1-2 mph lower than cobra.

[jlnew]

Keep the Sim. Not one of those had overpowering numbers to knock it out. The only thing I might add is you could use the average of the 5 best drives with each and post them side by side at the end. I think then it would be even more apparent how little difference there is.

[jasonwinslow]

I’d recommend trying a lighter shaft to help with that left miss before ordering anything. Or maybe something softer in the tip section. Otherwise, the cobra clearly was best for you.

[GolForElse]

Qi10 4mph less clubhead speed with still the same 144 ball speed is wild. If you could get spin and strike under control it seems like it would be the winner. All of the others were aroundd that same ball speed with a faster swing. Might need to look into a different shaft fit for the QI to kill spin. Maybe Ventus Black?

[ljsb]

You seemed most comfortable with the Cobra, and you had to be a little tired when you hit it. They all can get the ball down the fairway. I vote Cobra. Good luck. I, too hate those hitting booths. Lucky I hit the wall!

[keeganscofield]

I’m in between the Qi10 and the Cobra myself. Going back this weekend to try them again. Didn’t get a chance to try to Ping, plan to this weekend as well

[DwayneMcCoy-td]

Put the stock tensei shaft in the drivers and try it over the ventus tr. And see what numbers you get.

[May_Dizzle]

Thanks for the video. Would be great to provide a summary of the different drivers and the data.

[frankielambardo]

After watching the first 30 seconds, i can tell you without a doubt, the Titleist TSR2 is the best driver out there.

[mikeb]

I think it was pretty close between your current driver and the Cobra DarkSpeed.

[garymacdonald]

There didn't seem to be any significant gains over your Sim driver. I'd stick with that. I have a Sim 2 Max driver and have tested out the new drivers every year only to find there is no significant gains. I think the companies have pretty well maxed out the tech with respect to drivers.

[kev]

The audio when you were hitting was inaudible. Also, you should've done a summary at the end. What was your conclusion?

[shanoneva]

Based what I could see, I'd say save yourself some cash and keep your current gamer. None of those outperformed it.

[aslancpa]

The distances on each shot didn’t seem to average out to the summary numbers you put up?

[JT-xsbr]

Looked like the Dark speed is your driver!

[bryanlemontm]

I didn’t see anything in this video that made me think you should spend $1100+ on a new driver. I also don’t think you were hitting the right shaft. You have a distinct right to left pull/hook. Outside to in with a closed face, maybe. I would like to see you go back and hit the same clubs using a Graphite Design XC. It has a long, stiff tip, the can help with those lefts. Otherwise, keep playing what you have. IMO.

[johnstone]

Honestly man, IMO nothing really stood out in performance compare to your gamer. Maybe the dispersion was better with a certain one, but as far as the numbers looked. I didn’t see anything that was any better than yours.
