I had the old titleist 905T in your picture, it's maybe a 15 year old driver. Recently moved to a Taylormade Sim2 Max, decided to get new (300) and not the new stealth 1 or 2 (due to the breakage issjes you mentioned) . I can't believe the difference in forgiveness, absolutely amazing! As you say, no point in upgrading every few years, the technology doesn't change. So I'd recommend getting a new driver that's an older model
I always try to buy clubs 2-3 years old. I bought by irons and driver brand new, but cheaper because they were older. My irons are Mizuno JPX 921 that I bought for $700, and my driver is a Titleist Tsi2 that was only $350 And while I didnt do a full fitting for my driver, the shop I got it at has a simulator and they were very helpful in allowing me to try it and recommending a different stock shaft that worked better for me.
I think the biggest thing we NEVER talk about when purchasing new clubs is shafts. I used to be a pretty tidy golfer but after almost 20 years out of the game there is a lot of work to do. I have recently had my first brand agnostic paid fitting. What a mind blowing experience. The amount of data you can get these days is phenomenal. I tried to be as deliberately brand agnostic as possible, but shafts played a massive part in which clubs I felt most comfortable with and have subsequently purchased...But shafts never get talked about!
agree with all you said, I've started playing golf again after around a 20 year gap, I got myself a cheap and cheerful Dunlop driver for £26.99 and compared it to my original driver from 20 years ago, the age difference 14 to 34 I know will make a difference in available strength but when I went to the driving range for the first time the difference in the two clubs was only around 20 yards or so getting in the region of 220-230 yards, on that note I did try a friends brand new driver he got on sale for £200 (cant remember the brand) and my first 3 hits was 241, 256 and 271 yards, after the third hit he told me to give it him back lol
Haven't watched the video yet but for me (have only been playing for 2 years) it was eye opening to see how much of a difference the correct shaft can make with your driver.
this shocked me when I got fitted for my Rogue ST Max, the fitting process is worth the money and found a change from stock shaft was reducing the spin by up to 2000rpm and helping me carry further
@@cheemomugdoo799 thought that was obvious, but the shaft can get overlooked by newer golfers - at least that's how it was in my experience. I have never been fitted but have tried a number of drivers off the used market and have found a good fit that way.
@@micahbrown4431 there are several videos on UA-cam debunking the myth that the shaft is the main factor when choosing a driver. For most non-professionals a shaft choice can get you a little extra in certain areas but on the whole it’s not going to be dramatic.
Okay, I’ve always scratched my head about the obsession around the kislux book totes and their practicality, but this one is adorable!! Congratulations
I bought the Wilson Dynapower Carbon ( from Golfbidder ) after your reviews = yes even after you smashed the face in !!! Have to add I bloomin love it !
Great video Pete. I went to get a new hybrid the other day and I did exactly what you mentioned in the video and ended up with a Wilson Dynapower and absolutely love it.
Very truthful, informative and hysterical. Laughing out loud at the guys in the background. Great work! After a year of research and a TM fitting , I ordered the new BRNR mini driver. Arriving soon I hope 😁
First of all still enjoying the videos. Prices of top end clubs is ridiculous. Back in January, I went and bought an ex-display Callaway Mavrik Max, which I had a fitting with beforehand. It came with a regular flex shaft but during the fitting it was fitted with a stiff flex with a weight that suited my hard transition swing style all done in store before purchase and it’s all good. Couple of scuffs which you expect that from ex-display but got a great driver that suits and has been fitted for under £170. I am guilty of trying to keep the clubs all one brand but after watching a video Pete done a while ago on Inesis, I thought I’d try one, very pleased with it and now have 3 Inesis 500s in the bag. 2 wedges and a hybrid.
Nice one Lester, as a regular listener and watcher it was fairly obvious how the dynamics worked between you and DH , but at least it’s now clear for all . Looking forward to watching the Golf National vlogs , keep it going and onwards and upwards.
I went from having a callaway razor 2012 bought in 2015 (150 bucks) to a TM M2 2017 w HZRDUS stiff shaft in 2021 (175). love the upgrade and love saving money by shopping smart. Watched one of your videos to get the idea of getting a M2. Thanks for these tips!!
Around 97/98 my Lee Trevino persimmon was falling apart. Picked up a used Taylor Made Burner driver, steel shaft and 9.5 loft (great for links golf). Liked it so much bought 3 wood and iron set (new). Still play them today. Most people think the driver is a 3 wood😂
Yes totally agree its all BS you can either play or you can't ! I took up the game in 1971 so you can imagine I have used it all over the years. The older gear is just as good if not better the rest is well bollocks ! One of my favourite sets is a set of RAM supermarket grade clubs I own Callaway Ping and Cobra and Taylormade but the RAMS do exactly the same job🤨😕
The difference in past few years models is theyre fast all the way across the face. If youre hitting it in the middle every time you could use an Original Big Bertha and be fine.
Just done exactly this...went and bought a brand new Ping G410 on sale for 260 euro .. absolutely smashing it down the middle.. absolutely no need to go for the 425 or 430.... especially with driver I think two models back brand new (not second hand) is the sweet spot
Getting fit for a driver and putter drastically helped my golf scores. Accuracy off the tee went way up and the consistency of my putting was clearly better.
In my opinion if you aren’t loaded or almost a scratch golfer find a second hand club at your local golf stores and save 200-300$ but for irons 1000% get fitted for your swing
my old driver has a bent steel shaft (in two places), two cracks in the head (top and sole) and a loose shaft extension moving around in the grip. a new driver has 100% helped my game
Yes the color of the kislux is beautiful and it is a great decision, maybe one day they will add feet and straps. It would be nice to have a bigger bag during the colder months when we have to store gloves, beanies, scarves, etc…
Few years back I brought the cobra f8 new upgrading from a second hand ping g25. Cut to 3 weeks ago…. Shaft on my cobra had to be sealed back into the adapter. So had to dust of the ping for a few rounds. Genuinely, it’s still in the bag, and staying. Cobra is up for sale. I’m legit hitting it better, longer than I ever hit the cobra. Finding way more fairways, and having shorter irons in with me shooting 81 for the first time ever last weekend. I don’t know what this means for me and my swing or what to focus on when I do upgrade again but I ain’t letting this g25 go for a while!
very informative indeed, stop looking at bells and whistles and all the marketing hype for drivers as it never stops. Have a fitting, see what feels best and comes out the most consistent, ego and marketing stays in the car park
Just got a new paradym driver and a brand new 2021 talyormade m4 3 wood. I totally agree that the newest one isn't always worth it, but there is so much tech in the paradym that it is a huge leap forward. For the 3 wood, it is a good club and the price has plummeted since it came out
My son is playing with a 10 year old driver. He can bomb that ball, on the occasions he hits it well. So yeah, most of it is swing. For his irons he did benefit from a new set of jpx 923 hot metals. Now need to get him a new hybrid, the one he has now are almost 20 years old.
Got fitted for a new Callaway Rogue driver. It’s 45.5 inches long and to long for me but because you hit them further you get sucked. Feels like a waste of money. My old Taylor Mini Driver which I picked up second hand is my weapon of choice
I looked on Golf Bidder and depending on the quality of the club the price varies. Cheap one normally doesn't have a great club face. Grips you can change but it's important to have a decent club face.
The saddest thing is golfers spending 500+ on a driver and using the factory shaft. My new driver set me back a grand, why? Because to get the right shaft it was 300 bucks and the Kith x TaylorMade Stealth Plus was expensive. Would I go back? Maybe to a Paradym lol.
I love TaylorMade clubs but was never paying 500 quid for the stealth 2 to fall apart. Paid 200 for the m4 and love it, spend the rest of much needed new wedges so win for me 😂
Still playing a TM M3(8-9*), adjustability and range time get me where I want. Haven't played as much as I like; but there is a good reason Tiger says it's all feeling in the hands, I've gone from slice to fade to hook based on my grip and have learned a metric ton. I play two iron sets and both are Nike blades, VR pros and Vapor pros; warm weather vs cold. None of these clubs are easy to hit but will make me a better golfer😊
I owned a Callaway Warbird set and had to work quite hard to stop the driver slicing. I bought the new AI smoke and have had to unlearn all of that anti-slice stuff. I've gained 25 yards and confidence off the tee - albeit at a price tag.
I have countless examples of myself and my friends getting second hand clubs replaced. I had ping Replace a used g400 with a small paint bubble with a G425 max. For the most part brands like taylormade and ping have a 2 year warranty so if you are warrantying a club that came out within the last 2 years... they will usually honor that as.... of course the club is under warranty.
9:50 - I agree, but I spent 300 dollars on wedges, and in my defense, they were needed. I had only a 54 degree, so a 60 and a 50 were needed for me, as it was extremely hard to get out of deep bunkers with just a 54, and its hard to get a good distance going soft p-wedge.
Love my TM SLDR I recently bought almost brand new on ebay, it had never been hit. I usually over draw or hook my drives and this driver has help me straighten that out. That poor guy in your video! 😆
I've had two driver fittings in the last 5-6 years. My experience was, frankly, not good. Both fittings took place at very reputable club fitters (nation-wide brand name). The first time I was fit for a Callaway. I hit it terrific in the studio. Bought the exact driver and when I got out on the course I couldn't hit it at all. Two years later I got fit at a different club-fitter and was fit for a Taylor Made. Hit it great in the studio. Bought the exact driver. But, again, out on the course? Couldn't find a fairway to save my life. I can't explain it. I'm a 3 handicap so I'm not wildly inconsistent. I ended up buying a used Callaway Mavrik Max and after dialing in the hosel settings and weights, I was able to straighten it out on my own.
Years ago I went into a major golf store and wanted to get fitted for new irons. At the time I was an 18 hcp and the salesman lead to the high end brands and said this is what all the tour pros were playing. I said thanks and walked out and went to the competition where I got fitted for the Ping G20's.
I always wait for the new release of drivers …. Then search one the one before and buy! Currently playing the Cobra LTDX LS driver with radspeed 3 wood and hybrids - will wait a littler longer and get the Ltdx in those to replace them once they drop a little more as I like the matte finish
Great info as always Pete, but when are we going to see the next Golf Bidder Challenge. Could it be a scramble with Rick , Andy and Matt. That would be epic.
I bought a Cobra f9 driver off ebay a few years ago. After a few rounds the head exploded! Sent it back to Cobra and they gave me a brand new head free of charge. Brilliant company!
Very entertaining Peter plus good information! Well done! And .. . who IS that other guy? Poor bastard.... You must pay more attention to your hopeful students 😊
Great vlog Pete. I bought a £170 wilson, NEW, couldn't hit a barn door with a banjo, draw biased to help my slice but no good. Sold it to my mate, he cut an inch off the length, I borrowed it for 3 holes, hit the fairway each time..... Ended up buying it back for £40 more than I sold it to him..... I can't justify paying £450-£500+ but back to the launchpad and going great....😅😅
Golf clubs are like guitars. Anyone great will be great with any gear. The reverse is also true. I play with a friend who still plays with old ping maple woods and 25 year old Callaway irons. Still a 2 handicap in his late 50's.
The forgiveness aspect ia what led me to my current driver, a 2016 callaway big bertha fusion... its about the most forgiving club callaway has ever made... it also helped that i found the head for $40 second hand, and had a stiff matrix ozik 7x3 shaft floating around that would fit my swing well... took the gamble and was instantly rewarded with 280yd pretty much every swing, down the middle.... would a newer club give me mor distance? Maybe.... but could it do it dang near every time? Probably not....
I always buy second hand. Currently playing a TM SIM 10.5, with a mint Tour AD shaft. Cost me £250...This was a £700+ club 3 years ago. I love it and have no plans to change. Particularly when I hear all the horror stories about the new Stealth face issues.
Very funny, after 2 years of trying I have finally found a workable shaft for my SIM2 and it has been great. TBH is a further hitting driver? Not according to my club GPS tags, my XR16 driver still keeps more distance at 285 yards the SIM2 make 275-280 yards. I personally feel if there zero marketing most PGA conforming hot faced drivers perform well in certain people hands. There is not a magic wand with the purchase. There is a lot to be said too for 1 inch shorter shafts too, control and accuracy wins over 5 yards further every day.
Agree 100%...you would be much better off spending 200 of coaching before spending 500 on a new driver...alls that is different in the last 10 years is adjustability...the ping G10 is still one of the best drivers out there it just doesn't have a changeable neck or a movable weight but in reality should you be moving weight around at all or improving your swing...time to bin the big companies ramming new clubs down our throats with big price tags and time to start giving your local PGA professional the money they deserve...
I do disagree with the “the performance hasn’t decreased with the price.” The individual club’s performance doesn’t decrease, but its comparative performance DOES decrease over time. 913d2 vs TSr is not quite a fair comparison
Getting back into golf after a 6-7 year break. Told myself I’d replace all my 10yr plus cobra clubs with new Titleist ones. Ended up going with a full bag of new Cleveland Launcher Halo / XL and absolutely love them. Will definitely look at Srixon once I drop my handicap
I have owned a taylormade M6 & sim2 & sim max 2 and all 3 drivers have broken, I have had to go back to my old Nike Vapor ‘ new driver just don’t seem to be durable can you help me find a good hard wearing driver ?
i don't think i would mind buying a used driver head, the only one that i would be afraid of buying used is the TM stealth line, i have a swing speed upwards of 117mph and have already exploded one stealth and it was a clean hit, im afraid they are still a very fragile design and would be afraid of buying one second hand because any mishit might damage the integrity of the club, all others as long as theres no sky marks i think would be fine

Callaway XR 16. A small piece of ledtejp.. and 2 hours practice with a pro, made 40 yards
Exceed brand with fujikura 30 gram shaft and swing weight d3 is the best for me
I find that shops don’t offer club fitting for the clubs on sale. Meaning if you get fitted you have to pay big money for the newest model.
The old adage was “It’s not the arrow it’s the Indian”.
Equipment can’t overcome bad technique.
Great vlog Pete.
I bought a £170 wilson, NEW, couldn't hit a barn door with a banjo, draw biased to help my slice but no good.
Sold it to my mate, he cut an inch off the length, I borrowed it for 3 holes, hit the fairway each time.....
Ended up buying it back for £40 more than I sold it to him.....
I can't justify paying £450-£500+ but back to the launchpad and going great....😅😅
TM M6 or M4 are still my favourite.
so true.... no point spending so much more for the latest driver and paying a premium. I rather invest in good coaches for a better swing.
Golf clubs are like guitars. Anyone great will be great with any gear. The reverse is also true. I play with a friend who still plays with old ping maple woods and 25 year old Callaway irons. Still a 2 handicap in his late 50's.
Shout out to Mizuno - I have the STG-220 and it’s phenomenal. By far the best driver I’ve ever hit.
I love you so much! I recently just found your kislux and i’m in love!! Your videos are so fun and you energy is just MWAH! keep living your life
The forgiveness aspect ia what led me to my current driver, a 2016 callaway big bertha fusion... its about the most forgiving club callaway has ever made... it also helped that i found the head for $40 second hand, and had a stiff matrix ozik 7x3 shaft floating around that would fit my swing well... took the gamble and was instantly rewarded with 280yd pretty much every swing, down the middle.... would a newer club give me mor distance? Maybe.... but could it do it dang near every time? Probably not....
I always buy second hand. Currently playing a TM SIM 10.5, with a mint Tour AD shaft. Cost me £250...This was a £700+ club 3 years ago. I love it and have no plans to change. Particularly when I hear all the horror stories about the new Stealth face issues.
Very funny, after 2 years of trying I have finally found a workable shaft for my SIM2 and it has been great. TBH is a further hitting driver? Not according to my club GPS tags, my XR16 driver still keeps more distance at 285 yards the SIM2 make 275-280 yards. I personally feel if there zero marketing most PGA conforming hot faced drivers perform well in certain people hands. There is not a magic wand with the purchase. There is a lot to be said too for 1 inch shorter shafts too, control and accuracy wins over 5 yards further every day.
Such a fun video while being honest and informative! Pete, you, sir, are a legend!
Excellent vid and content. With a straight face too 😂
Mizuno STZ model drivers are the most forgiving and most accurate drivers I've ever used and anyone not giving them a chance is insane.
I still playing with my Cobra F19.. I find the fairway all the time and still outdrive most of the guys with the latest expensive driver
I still have 2 Ping G10 drivers and they still
outperform the newer technologies for me.
My golf spy suggested in their testing the more the driver is hit it starts to go longer as the face starts to wear down very slowly.
I need a lesson and a fitting…(for all clubs ) currently looking for best place to get both in my area…(central Connecticut USA)
Volume in this video is perfect
My wedges are WARRIOR and they’ve not let me down! 25$ per 50, 56 & 60!
Agree 100%...you would be much better off spending 200 of coaching before spending 500 on a new driver...alls that is different in the last 10 years is adjustability...the ping G10 is still one of the best drivers out there it just doesn't have a changeable neck or a movable weight but in reality should you be moving weight around at all or improving your swing...time to bin the big companies ramming new clubs down our throats with big price tags and time to start giving your local PGA professional the money they deserve...
How does one get fitted for a used driver?
love the disney characters in the back ground
I do disagree with the “the performance hasn’t decreased with the price.” The individual club’s performance doesn’t decrease, but its comparative performance DOES decrease over time. 913d2 vs TSr is not quite a fair comparison
A great video Peter
Getting back into golf after a 6-7 year break. Told myself I’d replace all my 10yr plus cobra clubs with new Titleist ones. Ended up going with a full bag of new Cleveland Launcher Halo / XL and absolutely love them. Will definitely look at Srixon once I drop my handicap
Get this man to 1M!!
Agreed

how much does the shaft make a difference in performance? I think I need a fitting?
Time out, when did Pete hit the Pod????
Class video guys 😅
Great video and beard 👌
im new to golf whats the best beginner set?
I have owned a taylormade M6 & sim2 & sim max 2 and all 3 drivers have broken, I have had to go back to my old Nike Vapor ‘ new driver just don’t seem to be durable can you help me find a good hard wearing driver ?
i don't think i would mind buying a used driver head, the only one that i would be afraid of buying used is the TM stealth line, i have a swing speed upwards of 117mph and have already exploded one stealth and it was a clean hit, im afraid they are still a very fragile design and would be afraid of buying one second hand because any mishit might damage the integrity of the club, all others as long as theres no sky marks i think would be fine
Sounds very similar to the slogan from Donut Media's Hi-Lo series "does more expensive mean more better?"
Mick is a huge fan!
I have been waiting for you to do another upload on the start from nothing.
Hey pete love watching your videos and was wondering what you thought of the ram fx77 irons as a budget set
Not tried them tbh
Shaft is everything, I’m convinced the biggest difference between modern heads is the stock shafts, not the head itself.
