    Just got it today came in mail early. I love it I hit 2 large buckets of balls today. only had 10 go slice right and 5 mild hooks. Average for my usual distance no super long shots. I bought mine with 45.5 inch diamana shaft regular flex. Practice was with me swinging about 85% I have struggle with slice for 15 years this year i have worked hard to fix it. It was starting to straighten out before this club, but this fusion is unreal with consistancy.

    what a fantastic review ..... I've given up golf because of a back injury but I still love watching anything golf ..what I loved about the review was its a classic thing when a high to mid handicap golfer goes to the shop and bits off the shelf without being fitted . the shaft was not right for you nor the length hence why the indifferent shops ....that's a proper review ....... how people can see why fitting is so important ..if your going to spend your good earned money on golf clubs for his sake get fitted first lol .....thx rick brilliant reveiw mate

    I just got this driver and upgraded from the Big Bertha Titanium 454, i haven't hit it just yet but so looking forward to it. I hope it's an improvement.

  • @joshmartins560
    @joshmartins560 8 років тому +1

    Definitely interested in seeing the test with Rob. As a 41 yr old ..10 handicap with 98-100 mph swing speed, I carry my 45.25 inch driver 230 -235 range. Interested to see if the shorter shaft would promote more center strikes, therefore no real loss of distance.

  • @bjorneriksson9337
    @bjorneriksson9337 8 років тому +1

    I had the opportunity to hit this driver today with a OBAN Kyoshi 44.5" Stiff shaft. No number tho, but I liked it. I had the feeling that this driver was one of the quietest drivers out there with a very dull sound when you hit it.
    Normally I play with a 915D3 with Graffaloy Blue Speedcoat in 44" so the length of the shaft is perfect, more players should play with shorter drivers. I big misses are almost gone, and my pattern on the clubface is more centered. Can't wait for a review of different shaftlength, with all range of hcp skill. I'm playing of 4.0 hcp.

  • @MrAshtute
    @MrAshtute 8 років тому

    i played for 2 seasons with my driver shaft shortened by an inch-helped me to gain more control and my driving average distance went up as i found the sweetspot more often...yes on my very best drives i was giving up about 15 yards but overall i gained ( i use game golf so my stats were tracked)...I've now switched back to the longer shaft as my driving really improved with the shorter 1 and i gained confidence and accuracy with it 👍

  • @GeoffCrowley
    @GeoffCrowley 8 років тому +1

    I went for a fitting last week and my fitter let me try this driver. The forgiveness was definitely evident, but for me it lost to the M2 in terms of forgiveness coupled with distance. Was interested to hear what you had to say about it. Thanks for the review!

  • @davidmccarron2600
    @davidmccarron2600 2 роки тому

    I have one of these drivers and being short of the arse the length works brilliantly for me. Ok, I’m not a big hitter but I find a lot more fairways than my mates. Great club.

  • @donnywilcox4247

  • @ibass2964
    @ibass2964 8 років тому +10

    Love your channel Rick, but I have an observation here....Whenever you do a callaway driver review, it's like you are discounting the club performance before you even hit it. I've watched a few reviews of this club, and allot of guys are putting it out there on distance. We all know your a 300+ hitter... and you favor Taylor made and Ping stock, but remember the GBB 341yds? ..you did the XR16/XR16pro review with unfitted shafts and didn't even adjust the lofts until halfway through. I guess all I'm saying is , I wish you put the same enthusiasm into the Callaway drivers.Hey maybe I'm off base ... who knows .. just an observation.

  • @fromtheoutside
    @fromtheoutside 8 років тому +1

    Seems to resemble a cross between an R7 CGB Max and the '08 Burner, or the updated FT-iZ, but with a much more neutral face angle and a better look, too^^. However, this video is a good reminder "strike is king." I don't think Rick would have any trouble hitting this club very close to the M1 with the proper shaft and length.

  • @jeffreyma88
    @jeffreyma88 8 років тому

    hi rick, just wanted to let you know that im loving the fact that you are vlogging about your quest for the open. just wanted to call you out and wanted to check in on you. Have you been keeping up with your fitness? haven't seen you talk about it in a long time, hope all is well. take care.

  • @legend9018
    @legend9018 8 років тому +1

    Love the review and the concept. I've actually popped my ping g ls tec driver head onto my ping g 3 wood shaft and have had great results in terms of accuracy and not that much of a drop off in distance according to my game golf stat tracker. Mostly because balls that hit the fairway run out more than ones that land in the rough so the carry distance lost is almost all made up for in the run out. It did take some getting used to visually because it is a 43" shaft but I can't argue with the results.

    • @3rdgroove

    That recoil shaft is nice. UST Mamiaya is doing great work. Used to use the Proforce V2 and liked it a lot. Can't wait to try this head out, looks interesting and I agree with some other comments, Great to see consistency get a marketing plug.

  • @Finn-McCool

  • @ESikora12
    @ESikora12 8 років тому +1

    I've moved to 44" or 44.5" on driver a few years back and will never go back. The club head speed lost is minimal. However, the consistently higher ball speeds seen from hitting middle of the face more often far outweigh what would have been seen with a longer shaft

  • @petermorrison2647
    @petermorrison2647 8 років тому

    Rick, I think you are thinking of the Taylormade R7 CGB Driver. I had a dark red head and was very triangular.

  • @GolfingMalky
    @GolfingMalky 8 років тому

    Excellent vlog Rick - you really do deliver the goods on club reviews.
    Not sure I totally like the look of the club head but the combo of club head and shaft length makes it of interest
    I look forward to hearing what Rob thinks about it as well
    Cheers

  • @anthonynostro967
    @anthonynostro967 8 років тому

    Quick question:
    I have a lot of trouble with hitting my driver straight. I tend to have a massive slice or a massive hook. The slice happens about 19/20 times and the hook 1/20 times. I hit my three wood great with either a straight flight or a 3-5 yard fade. The main difference between the clubs is that my three wood is stiff flex (irons and hybrid are also stiff) and my driver is a regular flex. Is my driver's shaft flex a main contributor to my slice/rare hook.

    • @ottovandieren7722
      @ottovandieren7722 8 років тому

      yes, a stiffer shaft could be the reason.
      If you have an adjustable driver, increase the loft, say by 1 degree, and see what the result is. Remember, the loft of a 3 wood is around 15 degrees. By adding spin to the ball from your driver, the ball, cannot spin sideways and result in a slice. If there is no improvement to the ball flight by adding loft to the driver, check a stiffer shaft. Good luck.

  • @MichaelSmith-oj7pg
    @MichaelSmith-oj7pg 8 років тому

    This is something I've been looking at (Shaft Length) as I really struggle to keep it straight and in play with my driver, also considering getting a strong 3 wood as a replacement until i can get my driver on song.

    • @MrMannydac
      @MrMannydac 8 років тому

      Spend your money on lessons instead. A few months ago i really couldn't hit a driver or even a 3 wood (i was using my trusty callaway 5 wood steelhead) then i went and had a lesson with Pete Finch and it's now one of the strongest parts of my game.
      My driver isn't spec'd to my swing and has the wrong shaft (I snapped my other driver) but with lessons and alot of practice I'm improving significantly. Honestly, get lessons!

    • @MichaelSmith-oj7pg
      @MichaelSmith-oj7pg 8 років тому

      +MrMannydac Just because I'm thinking about it , doesn't mean I haven't had lessons. At the moment I am concentrating on getting more consistency at the moment and I'm going to work on my driver during the winter. So don't assume I'm considering this out of hand. I'm well aware lessons will help. Ive even spoke to my coach about this.

  • @eyeslo4206
    @eyeslo4206 8 років тому +1

    So much is to be said for the strike when it comes to driver. I use a 45" r flex 10.5* Affinity explode. I drive 275 regularly and can touch 300 on a good shot on a nice fairway. I have to time the strike a bit because my swing speed exceeds the r flex shaft and it needs to be replaced every year because the face becomes dented in the center. That being said, I bought the club at my local sporting good store off the clearance rack for 15 bucks. It's all you, not all about the driver.

    This test must be analyzed carefully. For a Mid Handicapper it could work great with lower speed as Rick. I played same UST Mamiya Shafts a period in my Irons, great Shafts. And we should consider that 1" shorter may cut some yards but has normally more control.

    @trijam90 8 років тому

    Cant wait to see the future tests with Rob and you with the 45.5 shaft. But could you try the club with a X Flex shaft also, you keep saying everyone needs to get fit for shaft. I'm sure there is a Rogue with a callaway tip there somewhere ( I know you are trying to show what the stock shaft does but its not a true test when it affects you and your game). Just a thought, Great channel.

  • @ronsmith32
    @ronsmith32 8 років тому

    How about putting a 1" shorter shaft in your M2 to see if it doesn't tighten up your dispersion? IMAO, :-) you have plenty of distance, and giving up 10yds on the average drive in order to be playing more often from the fairway might serve you very well, even (especially?) in your Open qualification quest.

    • @joblo9004
      @joblo9004 8 років тому +1

      I game the ping G30 SF tec. I bought it to cure the slice in my game. That it will not do, I still had to fix the flaw in my swing. It will help if the slice is minor, but on doglegs I let my hands go and I can still slice the ball 50+ yds. That being said I have more confidence with the SF than the standard G30 and they both crush the ball.

    • @stephenderbyshire5939
      @stephenderbyshire5939 8 років тому

      I game Ping sf tec, thought it was going to be a miracle cure for my slice, it was not to be! Was fitted for the club it did improve my slice but not to the extent I needed, my biggest improvements came from having an inch and a quarter cut from the shaft, and starting to swing from the inside. Reducing driver length is the best decision I have ever made when it comes to golf, I can now consistently hit the fairway and hit 260 with no problems! (If I want more I can squeeze some extra yards out but I sacrifice accuracy) Driver is now the club I pull with confidence, not trepidation, now if I can only get my 4 iron to work as well, we'll be sorted.

    • @ancientET
      @ancientET 8 років тому

      Thanks guys, have been working on my swing to stop the slice and have stopped slicing as far as before with every third or fourth shot going straight so was just wondering if it could help get that to a more consistent straight shot. Obviously my swing is the major issue but any help i can get would be massive.

    • @dtee06
      @dtee06 8 років тому +1

      I was having the same problem. Cobra was having a Demo Day at the golf course I play at. After talking to the Rep he had me try the Cobra Max ( offset driver) bingo. It is in my bag $250.00 & I am now 90% in the fairway. It helped me but as others have said it is coming over the top that produces the slice so I am working on that also. Check out Clay Ballard's drill for coming over the top.

I personally would rather hit 250 yards and be fairly straight, than hit 300+ and have to either chip out on my second or take a drop.So after the first 2 shots how far are the total yards going to be at the end of the round on average. I pick accuracy any day. great video.

    I don't believe it. A modern golf company finally realizes that control, not just distance, is important in golf, and begins using it in it's marketing. Next thing you know, they might start weakening lofts on their irons and start saying that control and gapping is more important than how far you hit your 6-iron.
