    Just picked up the Epic max LS 9 degree
    HZRDUS 70 gram x flex. Picked up 10mph ball speed, from my Wilson cortex. 320y carry w/ pro v1x. 120mph club speed. 180mph ball speed.
    Incredible driver. Feels like I’m cheating.

    Oddly enough, I tested all of the major drivers in a club fitting and this one was the most accurate. I was shocked at how poorly I hit the 425 but that's how it goes with this stuff.

    i love the idea of establishing a barometer for your reviews for this year. I do think to establish a base it might make sense to put your current SIM through the paces - think it will give some more perspective on where these new clubs are falling in comparison to something you think is good enough to be in your bag.

  • @colinwallace2085
    @colinwallace2085 3 роки тому

  • @garybrumley3519

    Just watched Rick Shiels review these same clubs. His club head speed was 111mph and his carries were around 286yds. Guess you’ve got the edge on drives. lol Interesting to see the differences in likes and dislikes of the products. Just a thought, maybe you were having issues with hitting the #18 fairway because you didn’t have a visual for your alignment. You need a projector and screen. Great review Pete!

  • @micklees6967
    @micklees6967 3 роки тому

    Already watch Rick Shiels, Crossy and Mick Newton and you all pretty much come up with a consistent review of these which is that they are very good, and all liked the sound. I thinks Ricks comparison with the old Epic was more relevant than a comparison with the Maverick, and that showed 4 yards in 4 years. However, you all also talk of more forgiveness on off centre hits, and again this is same for the new Ping 425. The conclusion would be is no point buying any new driver to gain extra distance if your current driver is less than 5 years old, but if you fancy finding a few more fairways and have the money, then maybe make the investment.

    Great vid Pete. I feel like that most of the marketing that goes into these new drivers are mostly gimmicks. "Max ball speed (with the new Jailbreak A.I Speed Frame) + maximum forgiveness with high MOI and adjustable weighting". Who really buys into this marketing ? Especially when you consider the similar performance to last years drivers.

Also, I'm sure the low launch low spin Tensei Orange is a better shaft fit for you? 🤔... Given how well you played tiger's irons in the past, you should try playing his shafts in your woods and driver 🤔
