  • Here we HAVE IT! The unexpected best forgiving driver of 2024... this video is a must watch because you will be shocked by the unexpected results of this because I certainly was! When buying a driver and comparing different drivers on the market in 2024 we want to know which is the best driver? What is the best driver of 2024? What is the most forgiving driver of 2024? Anti-slice driver? Well this test will show you exactly that. In this honest and unbiased golf review (As i am no longer tied with a single brand) i test and go through the results of the brand new Mizuno S230 Max, Taylormade Qi10 Max, Callaway Ai Smoke Max D and Ping G430 Max 10k. All of these have been individually reviewed here:
    Mizuno S230 Max 2024: • Mizuno Have FINALLY CR...
    Taylormade Qi10 Max 2024: • This New Taylormade Qi...
    Callaway Ai Smoke Max D 2024: • Callaway's MOST FORGIV...
    Ping G430 Max 10k 2024: • I NEVER expected this ...
    So many golfers ask me what is the best anti-slice driver in golf, which driver is best for a slice? which driver is the most forgiving and the biggest question of all, which is the best driver for 2024. Sit back and enjoy this honest and unbiased review with unexpected results.

      My favourite is the Mizuno, but I also like Qi10, but I'm waiting until spring before I purchase, I currently game the old TM M4 driver, 3wd, 5wd. But it's time for change.

      The Callaway just looked unbelievable in the sun IMO. The PXG Black Hawk might be a big surprise in this test, maybe the New Cleveland also.

    appreciate that you didn’t default to a more easily accepted winner. We’ve now had 5 years of tour usage and accelerated product development on the drivers. Keith Mitchell lead the PGA Tour driving stats in 2023. Marco Penge leading DP World distance stats in 2024. There are a lot of good drivers out there now - but we should definitely be in the conversation. Thanks again.

      I just got a St200, I chose this over the Titleist I was playing because it looked better over the ball, felt better to hit and had a massive improvement on bad hits. It feels very nice for set up and the carbon fiber makes it smoother through swing I feel. I love how the face and carbon look and it really helps me set up. I know I would get the 230 max as an upgrade, but still for the price I got the 200, it is a great club for this year to play. I am not too surprised he chose the Mizuno also, I have hit all the drivers, stealth 2, Callaway AI. I choose the Mizuno also for my bag but I love them all!
      Also was looking at some Mizuno irons similar to my TaylorMade I play now, just need to hit them and find what feels the best. Keep making great golf clubs

      Been rocking Mizuno at the top of the bag since the OG st190. Playing the stZ now paired with the Fuji Atmos TS6 pulled from my retired 190. Incredible combo. Can’t wait to upgrade into the new lineup but in no rush with the numbers I’m consistently getting with this combo. Looks, sound, and performance are all there from Mizuno woods IM (first hand) HO.

      Definitely be trying and more likely buying the 230 Max. Brand ambassador here. Had every JPX iron set since the 800. Since retirement have had to slow down the renewals :) , so have had my JPX 921 HM for 18 months. A record for me! At one stage every club in the bag was Mizuno, inc Putter. Bag, towel too. Love the branding, the colours. Keep up the good work.

    Great video Alex, it was the comparison video so many were waiting for.
    The take from this video is that they are very similar, people need to go and try a few and let their numbers guide them, yet a lot of people are going to have their favourite in mind, a few yards here and there might not sway them from what they want and what the numbers say they should have.

    Started golf in Octobre 2023 everything in my bag is mizuno. I'm loving my MP20s 3-pw and just forcing myself to keep it pure for the feel. It's really rewarding and punishing at the same time for my irons and my driver and woods are super forgiving stx 220 full set. Love mizuno and I think I will stick with it for a long time.

    Enjoy all of your videos. I am currently hitting the Taylormade M6. Each time you hit one of the drivers I thought, that looks interesting, although you have me wondering it’s certainly in a positive way. At 71 and only took up golf in my 50’s I’m always looking for even small improvements. I’m currently a 13 factor.

    I learned today that if you're not working on your game, no equipment will be forgiven. I tried all the Maxes from different brands and they all showed zero improvement from my 15+ y/o driver. I think we need to realize that these reviewers are not your average daily golfer. These a very low handicap to scratch golfers so regardless of the driver, they will do well on.

    TaylorMade Qi10 MAX in 9 degree head would have been your winner. Due to very deep CG it launches higher than the others so a 10.5 head is really like an 11.5 or 12 degree head. It’s definitely the most forgiving out of those four.

    I like the test format you have done, but a bit unfair towards the Callaway AI Smoke with that being a max draw setup and the others being standard max drivers. But saying that I’m a Ping G425 man myself and sticking to that as none of these have improved my driving accuracy when trying.

    If you meant to compare the draw biased models from each of those manufacturers - as the title of the video suggests, that's not what you did. Only the TM in this group is their draw biased model. The Callaway would be the Max D, the Miz would be STX-230, Ping would be the G430 SFT.

    • @HowGoodGolf
      @HowGoodGolf  5 місяців тому +4

      I tested the max d from Callaway?
      I also said in this test that I was testing the best of 2024.
      The Mizuno STX-230 was from last year why I went for the max version this year. Pluss also the G430 SFT was last years model and the 10K was this years…

    • @johnnyo3478
      @johnnyo3478 5 місяців тому +3

      @@HowGoodGolf I didn't say you tested the Max D from Callaway. I said that if your intention was to compare the Anti-Slice or Draw bias offering from each of these mfrs - as the title implies that the direct comparison to the TM Qi10 Max would be the Callaway Max D. And so on. Miz and Ping are on 2 year cycles with their products - the current draw biased ones in their lineups are the ones I indicated. If your intent was not to directly compare the draw bias offerings - then I would have recommended a different title of the video. That's alll I was saying. When I saw the title of the video - I expected something other than what was presented.
