Thanks for the review. I'm a new Max LS owner and I couldn't put my finger on it until you said reduced roll on the face - but that's it. I'm experimenting with different setups and today I tried it at 10 degrees (+1) something I never have done with other heads, and it certainly added a few hundred rpms of spin, looking at the flight and made it 'more' repeatable and put the weight out in the toe to offset the slight toe-in face angle - was producing 5-7 yard draws. My older Callaway heads I would open to 8-degrees as a comparison. The head at 9-degrees, with weight halfway out to the toe also seems like a good neutral setup with a slightly lower ball flight - but it can really produce some flat bombs in that setting. I did try it also at 8-degrees but I had to alter my setup too much to get the ball to launch high enough and not dive-bomb left too often. Playing the Smoke im10 6.5 shaft which is a bit lifeless but in 6.5 is at least predictable
Awesome, I tested the drivers multiple times following the review video. There a loads of different setups when you start to dial in that loft sleeve it takes some time to fine tune it!
Very much a similar scenario to yourself. I watched the video based on currently owning an Epic Max LS, 9.0 with an MMT 60X, and have done for around a year or so now. Over the years with prior drivers my regular shot is a gentle right to left draw, usually with a slightly 1 or 2 deg open faced driver. With the Epic Max LS off days are either a straight push right, or hooky left. To counteract this I perhaps hit my best shots with weight just beyond middle out towards the toe.....then my traditional gentle draw is much more repeatable. After a year of trying various shafts, and settings I'm feeling toward selling the Epic Max LS because I just don't get the repeatability in strike or shot shape that I'm looking for. Hence a great review video, which kind of confirms what I've seen over the past year or so.
So got speed on course and WOW this driver was amazing! Feel/sound is so much better than LS......LS fade bias for me and Speed is just straight.....just funny how you mentioned bulge n roll vs lack of.....
Yeah the look of a driver makes a huge difference to me, if it doesn’t suit my eye it’s almost impossible to trust it. I like a real square address position. The bulge and roll on the speed keeps it looking square to me sometimes drivers lose there appeal when they start introducing “forgiveness features”

Looking forward to getting in for lessons soon as possible pal. Get the journey started. Keep bringing the content pal good stuff
Well done ! Very informative concerning bulge/roll or lack thereof.......
