I don’t understand people on here criticizing him for not “sticking with a certain club” he does reviews and gives his opinion on the club/product he’s reviewing. Really it’s not hard to understand.
I am reading a lot of those comments too. It makes me think of the Stealth 2. Most reviews last year at this time said it was great. Then we started hearing about the face cracking, caving in, popping off. Fargiveness, Fargiveness, Fargiveness. Turns out it wasn't forgiving at all compared to an older Ping or whatever. Ultimately the viewer must decide if it is a review or an advertisement and weigh it accordingly.
I think the main issue is, people buy a new driver , woods, irons , to try to fix poor technique and when it doesn’t fix their game they get upset with people doing reviews and saying this stuff is decent, no driver is going to forgive an 8deg L path with a 15 deg face R and then wonder why it still going 100 yards forward and 285 yards right
Pxg has made nice improvements in their drivers. They have not been known for putting out the best drivers as most have missed the boat somewhere. I was fitted for the gen 4 which ended up being the worst driver I’ve ever owned. But the gen 5 and newer seem to have fixed a lot. My main issue with pxg fittings is they are inconsistent with how they do things. If you get a good fitter, they will alternate between the new club and you gamer and not just have you warm up with your gamer and then stick either pxg and a million shafts. Most of us need more time to warm us and they should have you going back and forth to shot data is more consistent with how your body is feeling. Ideally it should be done over several sessions as well. I saw a guy post the other say how he bought this driver because it was so much better. He posted his stats of his old gamer which had maybe 15 shots and then posted about 4 different combos of the black ops and shafts. And of course picked the best combo. I asked if he tried that shaft in his gen 5 pxg and said no. For all he knows that shaft could have been better. Along with that, the data showed how his swing got faster and better as he hit more balls. Angle of attack went from 0 to 4 degrees which explains 99% of the difference results. I wish fitters (not just PXG) would focus on more than just selling the latest club. So many of us could see better results just from a few tweaks.
I game the Gen 5 XF this past year and got refitted in December when they had black Friday pricing on this driver. I went with the premium shaft upgrade to a Graphite Design and added 20 yards from my current gamer. I ordered a 12 degree head that I will use with my old gamer shaft, but in a mini-driver configuration with a shorter shaft. To be fair, my fitter gave me a small setup tip that I was doing wrong, and that made an instant difference to the dramatic gains. So the fitting was worth it, but the gains are also in the premium shaft as it helped my tempo. No need for the latest head, at least not for now. Once I get broken in with the new combo, if I get refit in a year, I can just slot in my existing GD shaft with the proper grip size that I like and see if anything can really be improved from here, or if I just need better technique or more swing speed to find the gains. All this to say, I have access to a great PXG fitter where I am! There was no push for the upsell to the Gen6 head, even though I would agree that its better and the black ops is better still, but the biggest thing I needed was a shaft that works for my brain dynamics in terms of feel and feedback. I will be patient with more gains from here on out.
I'm surprised more manufacturers are not going to the 3 moveable weight system that this driver has. That coupled with the multitude of shaft options, allows a professional fitter (not just some guy working at the store) to match a driver to the individuals swing. Most golfers don't have the time or patience to change their swing.... so fitting the clubs to their current swing makes the game more enjoyable. BUT.... make sure you get fitted after you are into your golf season a few months. I live in the Seattle area and don't play from October to March due to the wet weather. 5 years ago, I went for a fitting in February. Since my swing was "rusty", I was fitted for clubs that worked for me then but didn't work as well after a few months of playing. It's nice starting the season with shiny new clubs...... but much nicer having the ones that fit your real swing. I won't make that mistake again.
I have no objections to anything you said, but I see it a bit differently because I am at a lower level for sure. I love golf and have become very interested in it. That said, I don't really get to play much. I try things with my swing, realize it doesn't work well, then change my swing sometimes very drastically and very often, lol. Club companies and fitters would recommend that everyone, even beginners get fitted. I wonder if a fitter has ever said to someone, you need to fix some stuff in your swing before you should buy a 600 dollar driver.
I am going to write a note to the folks at PXG. They need to get you a bigger check. I have made a couple purchases since your first 0311 video and your iron review. What I got was quality equipment, in quality packaging and related correspondence like I mattered. Well done you, well done them.
Nice review on the new Black Ops. Considering a fitting at King of Prussia PA USA. Their Gen6 P irons perform and feel as good as most forged clubs. Look forward to your review of the Tour1. Wondering about the bag you had on course for this video. Looks really sharp! Ogio or Sun Mountain ??
I no kidding also have my 10.5* sim2 cranked up one notch (+0.75*) total of 11.25* total. It just seems to work far more often than even I expected. It does just slightly close the race and my miss is already left, but it doesn’t seem to punish me. Maybe I can go at it harder and that lets me leave the face open a tad? I dunno
I went and got fitted for this driver and I will say, I’ve never thought highly of PXG drivers but the black ops is definitely PXG best driver they have produced and will compete with any on the market this year!
There certainly is a strong argument for more loft and not low spin models for the vast majority of golfers who need accuracy and help more than huge distance on your average parkland course.
Not arguing or trying to to say you are wrong but I thought the original pros that started playing PXG were not under contract that at first PXG didn’t endorse anyone. Am I wrong? I probably am because I am dumb lol.
@@JamesRobinsonGolf lol who know and in the end they make great looking clubs and now make them affordable for most and better playability. They’ve done amazing job getting out there in a tough crowded market.
James, I was a big fan of your channel but what is frustrating is you did a shaft fitting video with the TPT that was really interesting and was clear in video used a TSR head but never explained what happened as far is if using that shaft going forward with the TSR head and also never saw that shaft in any of your new driver testing. If that was such a good shaft for you and were going to game it, why is not in any other videos? People like me rely on your opinion and used to trust your opinion but more and more seems like just doing videos solely for sponsors and clicks and not being as honest about product reviewing or what your truly gaming.
Because I don’t want to pay £500 for a shaft Jason tbh. When there’s a professional fitter infront of me I listen. And bringing ya the outcome. The annoying part for me is people thinking I should bag every club I get fitted for. When I’m doing this to get the best specs for the reviews to bring you all
Thanks you for the review. I have been waiting for someone to do this. Would love to see more indepth on distance, spin etc vs other similar drivers like the Pings.
Thank you James, another great review. It’s great to see PXG in the mix with the other mainstream manufacturers and to see the time they invest to provide a “proper” custom fit.
For the amateurs amongst us our game changes one round to the next, and so does our swing and swing thoughts. Would it not be worth us going for a fitting, noting the final specs/settings suggested and then walking away. Perhaps a week later go for a fitting elsewhere and then mentally noting if we arrive at the same result. If we do, then great our swing is good enough and repeatable enough to warrant a custom fitted driver..... But if we don't, then we haven't blown £500+ because something clearly isn't right and the honeymoon period would have been relatively short, but they money has already been spent.?? What's your thought on this approach and where could it go wrong for the buyer/player?
I got back into golf two years ago with an absolutely awful swing . Maybe every 6 weeks or so I go to 2nd Swing Golf and hit some balls on their Trackman to see my numbers and learn what I need to improve. Each time, I will buy something cheap, and I mean cheap, as thanks for use of the Trackman. I don't want a club/shaft/setup that helps a terrible swing. I want a decent swing, then I will consider a fitting and upgrade.
At last someone who talks sense! You're absolutely right. I play off 15 at a very tough links course, so the handicap travels well. For 4 -6 rounds been playing so well. Even in windy & wet conditions. Step out yesterday, nice weather, no wind. Couldn't hit a bulls arse with a banjo!! Hopeless with the driver, putter cold as ice. So what if I went for a fitting yesterday? Would've ended up with a completely different spec to if I went in the last few weeks. A club fitting needs to be done over a few trials. Problem for me is PXG are almost 2 hours away. They need more fitting pro's in the south of England.
Last year I got paired up with a guy who had PXG clubs. he also had a PXG hat, PXG golf bag, PXG water bottle, PXG pull over, PXG logo on his wooden golf tees, was playing the PXG ball and was wearing all black. I felt a bit like he took the whole bottle of aspirin. It was a little distracting when he walked up onto the first tee, you almost don't know what to say to him because he was absolutely outfitted to death. And everything was new. Yes, you could do this with any mfg, but it seems like they "get em".
You just had a fitting at SGGT which you said was excellent. The commercialisation of videos ruins impartiality. Just another 'its better' paid rubbish unfortunately.
Problem I have is all the driver reviews are on the same holes and the drives all seem to end up in exactly the same place. So operator hits the ball to that location, not the driver, in fairness it’s not James fault, the technology has got as far as it’s likely to get. Naturally all manufacturers will dissect the oppositions produce, steal some ideas and you end up with very similar offerings. This is review time of year, and James is no different, you can only review what’s put in front of you. If you buy based on reviews you are mad, go try the drivers, and use a good recommended fitter, rather than a sales operation, promoting the products that deliver the best profit. Try and hit your choice outside, not just on a simulator, and definitely make at least two visits, so that you hit the driver on a day when you are not really at it, you want the club that matches you, good and bad.
Thanks, I honestly think people believe that because a new one is released every year that they have to change because it will improve… it’s the same with anything… that’s not the case. It’s just there if you want it
I got fit for these after getting the previous pxg - I never touch the heel but I get a lot of toe strikes, was really solid, spin barely dropped off which is what usually causes a dead snap hook left, was mega low spin too even for the forgiving head. Very impressed
They do look promising. I’d be very interested if you would do a head to head for ball speed. I’ve had the TSR2 since they were released back in 2022. I’m interested in the AI smoke and Q10 and this black ops. But ball speed is my main factor. I’ve yet to hit anything that matches the TSR ball speed. But that AI smoke and Black ops has been calling my name. Thanks for all you do James. Keeping it real in the golf community. 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻
you could sit tight. titleist usually bring the new drivers out around September and since they only update every two years i’m more excited to see what they have to offer
Great review and very interesting loft setting as your normally 9 / 9.5, that said that KBS shaft is a whopping £240 uncharge bringing this driver to £789 ouch!
Hi James! Really, really interesting bit on PXG. What a coincidence. I just spent the past 15 or so minutes on their site. The 0311 Black Ops looks very intriguing to me. Maybe another coincidence is the nomenclature 0311. That's my birthday March 11. Keep up the good work on these videos.
“This is the longest/most forgiving club that I have EVER tested…since last weeks “longest/most forgiving club” that the UA-cam algorithm made me review,….this could be a game changer and I might put it in the bag. Let’s do it, and let’s do it now”
Looks great. I play PXG irons so….. I currently play tsr2 and keep thinking about the cobra. But now? Maybe….. what’s your thoughts on the full PXG v cobra V taylormade v callaway 2024.
I’ve tried and ordered one of these - went to pxg from a paradym triple diamond last year when i couldn’t keep it on the planet, biggest gain was the forgiveness and distance maintained on worse strikes… the new one is as they advertised, high launch and low spin, I’m playing 1.5 more loft than before and it barely spun over 2000 but didn’t drop off on mishits so is actually playable, +10 carry and the wind won’t touch it, very excited to see how it shakes out in the season
I tried a PXG driver once can't remember the model it was the one with the cream coloured top segment. It was very very good. My opinion of course. Other better player friends tried it too, they all hated it. Its all about opinion. James gives his, you either agree or you don't. I thought the review was good.
Fantastic video my new driver is on order and I should have it next week in a nutshell to cut to the chase here this driver could very well be the number one driver for the average golfer in 2024 hands-down. PXG fitting experience second to none. The driver looks timeless and the feel is amazing. Compared to my current Paradym driver, PXG managed to reduce spin by a lot giving me on average 7-10 more yards. More importantly for me, the Black Ops was more consistent than my Para. Nice accurate review here. Ps, what irons r you gaming now???🤔🤔
Nice video the PXG shop/fitting area look really high end! Would like to see a nice comparison video of all the new drivers tested on the same day just nice to see the numbers for all fo them.
I was all set to buy a demo Triple diamond.. 349 was tempting. Went to a fitting and got matched to a Grafalloy ProLaunch red .. yah budget shaft but was very comparable to a tensi orange. That combined with a good low spin ball and my Srixon zx7 mk2 was a new club
Another great review James. I’m playing a gen 4 pxg driver and absolutely love it. It just feels great and is easy to hit. All of my playing partners who have tried it have also liked it.
@@JamesRobinsonGolf Cheers! Be interesting to see if any of the new releases can best the TM Max this year. This is first time since SIM2 MAX TM has put out something for the average player.
Heading to PXG in a couple hours for my iron fitting and a hybrid in a couple hours. Really looking forward to the fitting process itself as much as the clubs.
Now there's the winner so far this year as far as looks go. I'm sure i could duff the PXG around the course just as well as any of em. Lol. Getting better every year though. I'm gonna surprise some of my buddys this spring and possibly win a beer or 2 from them. Kids and grandkids got me a driving net for Christmas. Trouble is, it's -2 and a foot of snow here in Missouri right now and my wife won't let me set it up inside. Says she likes the windows to have glass in them. She just doesn't understand the addiction.
Camera is offset to james right hand side if you moved straight behind him that angle would swap sides entirely to a turn over draw - lot of shot tracer shots often look near the opposite to what the shot actually is unless done directly or near enough behind the player 🙂
Why do you rip the head cover off so manically? And then you slam the clubs back into the bag with zero respect? And a draw goes right to left, not left to right😂😂😂😂😂
@@JamesRobinsonGolf looks quality I might treat myself 😁 thanks for getting back 👍 Looking forward to your next wedges reviews for 2024 I’m due a new set soon
Hi Anthony… I’m not sure if you’ve worked this out yet… but I get fit to make the content and review the clubs as part of what we do here… why does that make you angry?
@@JamesRobinsonGolf when you get one high toe the flight and turnover is incredible makes you feel like Bryson for a second. I’m slowly working back up to my driver. I’m going to need complete new set after three fusions I’ll need new setup and I’m stumped what to do. I’m cobra guy but love those takomo’s and even Kirkland seem interesting.
I don’t understand people on here criticizing him for not “sticking with a certain club” he does reviews and gives his opinion on the club/product he’s reviewing. Really it’s not hard to understand.
I am reading a lot of those comments too. It makes me think of the Stealth 2. Most reviews last year at this time said it was great.

Thanks guys. Certainly no advertising here just honest reviews.
May be he is a child and gets excited when there is a new toy?
I think the main issue is, people buy a new driver , woods, irons , to try to fix poor technique and when it doesn’t fix their game they get upset with people doing reviews and saying this stuff is decent, no driver is going to forgive an 8deg L path with a 15 deg face R and then wonder why it still going 100 yards forward and 285 yards right
very nicely done..... it's amazing how much our swing can change without our swing feels changing ..... lets call it ...."Swing Creep"....
Pxg has made nice improvements in their drivers. They have not been known for putting out the best drivers as most have missed the boat somewhere. I was fitted for the gen 4 which ended up being the worst driver I’ve ever owned. But the gen 5 and newer seem to have fixed a lot.
My main issue with pxg fittings is they are inconsistent with how they do things. If you get a good fitter, they will alternate between the new club and you gamer and not just have you warm up with your gamer and then stick either pxg and a million shafts.
Most of us need more time to warm us and they should have you going back and forth to shot data is more consistent with how your body is feeling. Ideally it should be done over several sessions as well.

I asked if he tried that shaft in his gen 5 pxg and said no. For all he knows that shaft could have been better.
Along with that, the data showed how his swing got faster and better as he hit more balls. Angle of attack went from 0 to 4 degrees which explains 99% of the difference results.
I wish fitters (not just PXG) would focus on more than just selling the latest club. So many of us could see better results just from a few tweaks.

All this to say, I have access to a great PXG fitter where I am! There was no push for the upsell to the Gen6 head, even though I would agree that its better and the black ops is better still, but the biggest thing I needed was a shaft that works for my brain dynamics in terms of feel and feedback. I will be patient with more gains from here on out.
did u hit the pxg higher then your triple diamond
Waiting for my new pxg driver to arrive. I’m not playing another round until it all arrives
This is on my list for sure.
PXG is doing some amazing things right now.
I'm surprised more manufacturers are not going to the 3 moveable weight system that this driver has. That coupled with the multitude of shaft options, allows a professional fitter (not just some guy working at the store) to match a driver to the individuals swing.

Did you try the new PXG putters? I went to the London store and tried a couple out and amazed at how adjustable they were
Nice review on the new Black Ops. Considering a fitting at King of Prussia PA USA. Their Gen6 P irons perform and feel as good as most forged clubs. Look forward to your review of the Tour1. Wondering about the bag you had on course for this video. Looks really sharp! Ogio or Sun Mountain ??
I no kidding also have my 10.5* sim2 cranked up one notch (+0.75*) total of 11.25* total.
It just seems to work far more often than even I expected.
It does just slightly close the race and my miss is already left, but it doesn’t seem to punish me. Maybe I can go at it harder and that lets me leave the face open a tad? I dunno

Looks like a sim and a stealth combination
Sim was shit, stealth was shittier
Why spend £500 plus for a driver when you can get a set of Cayley clubs for the same or less!
I love you 💞 too Jimmy!! Things should get better for you too sweetie, just hang in there 💖
There certainly is a strong argument for more loft and not low spin models for the vast majority of golfers who need accuracy and help more than huge distance on your average parkland course.
PXG website - Driver £549 (tour version £599), that shaft £240 upgrade. Fitting £30. £800 plus for driver WOW.
Not arguing or trying to to say you are wrong but I thought the original pros that started playing PXG were not under contract that at first PXG didn’t endorse anyone. Am I wrong? I probably am because I am dumb lol.
I think they where under fairly big contracts but I could also be wrong

High and right is much better than fore left Jimbo
Hold on James, I’ve been playing since I was 11 I’m now 62. The off center hits are better than the center hits? I might have to call B.S.
Last year I got paired up with a guy who had PXG clubs. he also had a PXG hat, PXG golf bag, PXG water bottle, PXG pull over, PXG logo on his wooden golf tees, was playing the PXG ball and was wearing all black.

It might feel that way but if he were head to toe in Taylormade you wouldn't have been bothered. It's more noticeable because of the black imo
You just had a fitting at SGGT which you said was excellent. The commercialisation of videos ruins impartiality. Just another 'its better' paid rubbish unfortunately.
Hi mate. You’re absolutely clueless, wrong, bitter and have no idea what you are talking about. Have a lovely weekend 👍🏼
Love the look of PXG Driver/irons 🤤
Did i see Blueprints in that bag?
Looks a bit taylormade stealth 2
Looks and sounds great, thanks.
Everything is a game changer for James 😮 I think his handicap is -20 by now😮
Having a bad week mate? It will get better soon 👍🏼❤️

you could sit tight. titleist usually bring the new drivers out around September and since they only update every two years i’m more excited to see what they have to offer
That’s a beautiful driver. Hannah Holden posted her fitting a couple of days ago and that guy does a heck of a good job.
The Pxg experience is second to none!
Your draw faded😂
OMFG your Audio is so Fkn low . Thumbs down . Turn it UP
Are you watching with headphones?
Got fitted for a Black Ops this this morning, I bought it on the spot, added 17 yards of distance and closed my dispersion...can't argue with that
Great review and very interesting loft setting as your normally 9 / 9.5, that said that KBS shaft is a whopping £240 uncharge bringing this driver to £789 ouch!
Hi James! Really, really interesting bit on PXG. What a coincidence. I just spent the past 15 or so minutes on their site. The 0311 Black Ops looks very intriguing to me. Maybe another coincidence is the nomenclature 0311. That's my birthday March 11. Keep up the good work on these videos.
“This is the longest/most forgiving club that I have EVER tested…since last weeks “longest/most forgiving club” that the UA-cam algorithm made me review,….this could be a game changer and I might put it in the bag. Let’s do it, and let’s do it now”
Get a life mate
@@JamesRobinsonGolf give us honest content mate
That’s exactly what this is. The fact that you don’t like it or don’t agree with it doesn’t make it not honest.
Looks like my sim2 max d painted black 😂
James have u heard anything re: 0211 irons new models etc
Looks great. I play PXG irons so….. I currently play tsr2 and keep thinking about the cobra. But now? Maybe….. what’s your thoughts on the full PXG v cobra V taylormade v callaway 2024.
I’ve tried and ordered one of these - went to pxg from a paradym triple diamond last year when i couldn’t keep it on the planet, biggest gain was the forgiveness and distance maintained on worse strikes… the new one is as they advertised, high launch and low spin, I’m playing 1.5 more loft than before and it barely spun over 2000 but didn’t drop off on mishits so is actually playable, +10 carry and the wind won’t touch it, very excited to see how it shakes out in the season
This driver has had some glowing reviews. I would love to game it but it's too high price to try IMO. To me it looks like a mix of Titleist and TM.
I tried a PXG driver once can't remember the model it was the one with the cream coloured top segment. It was very very good. My opinion of course. Other better player friends tried it too, they all hated it. Its all about opinion. James gives his, you either agree or you don't. I thought the review was good.
I'm just jealous you get all this gear too try....
Start a channel mate and generate some engaging views. I love what I do but it’s taken years to get here
Fantastic video my new driver is on order and I should have it next week in a nutshell to cut to the chase here this driver could very well be the number one driver for the average golfer in 2024 hands-down. PXG fitting experience second to none. The driver looks timeless and the feel is amazing. Compared to my current Paradym driver, PXG managed to reduce spin by a lot giving me on average 7-10 more yards. More importantly for me, the Black Ops was more consistent than my Para. Nice accurate review here. Ps, what irons r you gaming now???🤔🤔
I know it’s not your niche but we need James vs …matches it would be awesome to watch you go against some other UA-camrs your game is solid
Nice video the PXG shop/fitting area look really high end! Would like to see a nice comparison video of all the new drivers tested on the same day just nice to see the numbers for all fo them.
Nice one James...honestly I think that's the best looking driver this year that's proper nice 🤯🤯👍👍👍👍👍
I was all set to buy a demo Triple diamond.. 349 was tempting. Went to a fitting and got matched to a Grafalloy ProLaunch red .. yah budget shaft but was very comparable to a tensi orange. That combined with a good low spin ball and my Srixon zx7 mk2 was a new club
How does this compare to the TM with grafalloy blue shaft you enjoyed in the last review.
You do great content james!👊 keep doing what your doing. Are you doing a build my bag series?
Everyone and I mean everyone I know who went out and got PXG clubs fitted or not ended up selling them and going to another brand the same season.
Another great review James. I’m playing a gen 4 pxg driver and absolutely love it. It just feels great and is easy to hit. All of my playing partners who have tried it have also liked it.
Nice to see you happy to try a higher lofted driver and getting good results. Solid message for mid to high handicappers.😊
I would love to see you finalize a driver true to your fitting and best results no matter what brand it is that’s what we are all after best results
I’m looking forward to hearing more about those blueprint irons 👀
Nice review. PXG drivers sound so nice. Mines a few years old. Any ideas how to convince the Mrs I need this 😂
You see any difference between that and the Qi10 MAX???
Video filmed this week buddy, personally the tm was better
@@JamesRobinsonGolf Cheers! Be interesting to see if any of the new releases can best the TM Max this year. This is first time since SIM2 MAX TM has put out something for the average player.
I got to hit it at a hero pre release event and I loved it. I also played a shaft I avoided before.
I can't justify the price, but I loved the club.
Just about shat myself when you hit that 1st drive indoors 😮
Keep up the reviews, James. I get a little something from every one of them and it seems to be improving my game.
Heading to PXG in a couple hours for my iron fitting and a hybrid in a couple hours. Really looking forward to the fitting process itself as much as the clubs.
Thanks James for posting it. I have an appointment in a few weeks to try it out.
I have to say never hit one ..but will try this one out..
Best looking PXG driver so far in my opinion
What are the numbers compared to your triple diamond driver?
i cant get over the fact it looks like a re-skinned TM
No we are NOT Jealous...
I wouldn’t want you to be…
Loved this review James and the driver looks 🔥
I’m booking my fitting next month, not sure where at yet
Thx for the video James!!!
What happened to the fitting at SGGT
Can’t wait to see against ping 10k
What about the numbers???
That is a beautiful club.
Where's Laura? We miss her
Same as other comments he’s done another gamer changer but won’t bag it🤷🏻♂️
It’s almost like he reviews golf clubs for a living and can’t bag more than one driver… it’s the weekend Tony. Cheer up mate
You forgot to tell us how much.I hope it’s not £600 like a ping
£549…. Same as ping
Already fitted and ordered
Now there's the winner so far this year as far as looks go. I'm sure i could duff the PXG around the course just as well as any of em. Lol. Getting better every year though. I'm gonna surprise some of my buddys this spring and possibly win a beer or 2 from them. Kids and grandkids got me a driving net for Christmas. Trouble is, it's -2 and a foot of snow here in Missouri right now and my wife won't let me set it up inside. Says she likes the windows to have glass in them. She just doesn't understand the addiction.
Plastic balls my friend. Plastic balls.
Hard foam dimpled golf balls are very nice and don't crack or dent like the plastic ones.
Well done James 👏 😊
Can i hit a nice turny over draw....ball flight looked like a soft fade to me....
Cool
Camera is offset to james right hand side if you moved straight behind him that angle would swap sides entirely to a turn over draw - lot of shot tracer shots often look near the opposite to what the shot actually is unless done directly or near enough behind the player 🙂
Why do you rip the head cover off so manically?
And then you slam the clubs back into the bag with zero respect?
And a draw goes right to left, not left to right😂😂😂😂😂
Why are you picking fault at how a man takes a headcover off on a Saturday night?
@@JamesRobinsonGolf because you do it on every driver or wood review, annoying doesn’t even come close
LOL
That driver sounds like a toy and not a serious golf club.
Hmmmm ok
I thought it had a nice crunch to it...
What brand stand bag are you using James??
Ogio buddy
@@JamesRobinsonGolf
looks quality I might treat myself 😁
thanks for getting back 👍
Looking forward to your next wedges reviews for 2024 I’m due a new set soon
Dear god bro get fit and stick with something
Hi Anthony… I’m not sure if you’ve worked this out yet… but I get fit to make the content and review the clubs as part of what we do here… why does that make you angry?
@anthonyrivera697 it’d be pretty boring watching him do a club review on the same club over and over and over well you get the point I hope.
Let’s be honest todays drivers sweet spots are a high toe
100000000%
@@JamesRobinsonGolf when you get one high toe the flight and turnover is incredible makes you feel like Bryson for a second. I’m slowly working back up to my driver. I’m going to need complete new set after three fusions I’ll need new setup and I’m stumped what to do. I’m cobra guy but love those takomo’s and even Kirkland seem interesting.
