  • DEMOLISHED!! I did NOT EXPECT THIS! As I attempted to find the longest driver of 2024 using the brand new 2024 low spin models... and it ruined by game. Yes, seriously. One club demolished the others in my attempted to find the longest driver of 2024. This test was pretty mad and I did NOT expect to see these spin results in the data. I loved filming this and hope you find it as useful as I did.
    One of these low spin drivers out of the Taylormade Qi10 LS model, Callaway Ai Smoke Tripple diamond and the Cobra Darkspeed LS model demolished the others, in fact, one of the performances of other of these models was crazily bad, just wait till you find out. I would love for you to try and guess before hand... and see if you are right.
    So many golfers have been asking be about the lowest spinning model drivers of 2024, low spin driver models 2024, longest driver of 2024, best low spinning driver of 2024, best driver of 2024, longest driver of 2024 low spin models... well here we are in ONE CLUB DEMOLISHED THE OTHERS in my attempt to find the LONGEST DRIVER OF 2024 - It ruined my game!

    Alex, 2 things. I have the previous Paradym TD and it is super forgiving, but long and feels/looks amazing (IMHO). If I just wanted more forgiving or ONLY forgiving and not long then I would get a driver that spins near 3,000 rpm. There is another driver released this year that is low spinning. PXG Black Ops Tour.
    BTW Alex the weights are not behind the head, they are behind the face. The high MOI drivers have the weight behind the head and as far behind it as possible. A question: how does a ball go 30 yards farther with nearly the same swing speed, ball speed and smash...the spin was not that much higher. The ball you hit well had terrible numbers...has me questioning the numbers.

    @Pud56 4 місяці тому

    I tested all the new drivers in a fitting and narrowed it down to the Ai Smoke as i span everything else too much. Might be my swing speed 102, but the Ai Smoke max span at 2300 the triple diamond was 1800 so dropped out of the sky. Drivers were 9 degree set at 8, and obviously the Max was longer with the benefit of increased forgiveness. My fitter suggested this was a common result this season, is the triple diamond redundant? On tour, most players seem to be playing the max, same with TM, technology is obviously moving at pace.

    @Chris54321 4 місяці тому

    What was the average smash factor of each club? It seemed like less than optimal strikes were being compared to very centered ones. Of course I realize that the Smoke may sit a certain way that helps you find the center, but I also think you could eventually find the center of any club.

    Good test, but not convinced it's a fair test. Choose a different shaft and the result could have been quite different.
    For me, a fair test is getting either A. The best stock shaft for each club or 2. The best upgrade shaft for each club. This is what the buyers options are, and ultimately tested for each head by the manufacturers.
    Thanks for the video

  • @wessims3412
    @wessims3412 4 місяці тому +3

    I understand your logic of using the same shaft on every club head. But that’s the wrong approach to get optimal performance out of every club head. If you went to a true Clubfitter and tried each clubhead you would likely find that that one shaft is not going to give optimal performance with every clubhead, you may find that to get the best distance out of one brand over another you may have to use three different shafts. Because just as all shafts are not the same, the design of all club heads internally are not the same. Certain shafts will make certain club heads totally rock and others will fail as was the evidence on the Cobra Driver here.

    • @Si-pk4zy
      @Si-pk4zy 4 місяці тому

      Agreed I have a Speedzone driver through trial and error with various shafts bought on eBay I’ve finally found an optimal one (it’s a counterbalanced shaft) I rarely miss a fairway and usually finds centre of driver and perfect for my average swing speed about 92mph not enough is talked about shafts imo everyone just wants to discuss new driver heads 😂

      Alex do you think the cobra should be not one you would use. Why I say this is when you tested in before on its own you did well, just with a different shaft. Test the triple diamond with the Accra and the cobra with the shaft you used before with the individual test. See what happens there. I'm interested as I am going for a fitting next week. I have tested the cobra LS in the sim with a 60 gram stiff 3.5 degree of torque Hazrds shaft and hit 300 yards and compared to my own Wilson carbon with Xtra stiff Hazrd and hit 294. I did not have a stiff shaft for the wilson.

  • @boydgrandy5769
    @boydgrandy5769 4 місяці тому +1

    I think that a fair comparison would also use the shaft fitted for the club. Clearly, not every head is going to be optimized with what is basically a random shaft. This test appears to have demonstrated that.

      @@HowGoodGolf My thought was that a valid test would also have had each diver head in its most efficient configuration, which, to me, means it is equipped with the shaft that works best for that club head. Another shaft in each of the club heads, each optimized and fitted for the head and your swing, might have produced very different results, especially for the club that seemed disappointing. Not intended as criticism, but rather as an observation, because SCIENCE!

      They haven’t sent loads out from what I’ve seen but I’ll vouch for it, I got fit to the standard one as a pretty high speed player and it’s phenomenal, super forgiving, spin consistent across the face (even on the high toe which has killed me in previous triple diamonds etc) and it’s more than fast enough in terms of ball speed, big improvement on gen 6 which I still think is a solid club. The tour head is apparently even lower spin but I didn’t even bother to try it given how forgiving it was in standard

  • @AntwonDaBusiness
    @AntwonDaBusiness 4 місяці тому

    These tests are not accurate. Here’s why: over the course of hitting driver shots your body loosens up which means you’ll hit each consecutive ball further. Club head speed increases as you warm up. Is it 10-15 yard difference? For some this could be the case. A conservative yard difference cold vs warm is realistically 5-10 yards. Hit the same driver 15-20 times and get watch the numbers creep up. Do that with the intention of hitting it far like on this test.
