    I think we need a true head to head of all the low spinning driver models. Just to see which one is the most forgiving of the “Tour players” head.

    The companies themselves say which head is their “tour” head or preferred “tour” head. Most of the tour players don’t need more spin and is why those low spinning heads are aimed towards them. Hence why I said stated what I did.

    I am finding this out. That’s why I’m starting to use a urethane cover ball more.

    Oh no, this is perfectly fine as this is also what is part of the new driver line. I like watching reviews to see which ones I should stick away from since I am a high spin player. But I generally try to hit all of the top brands to see if one would suit me better than the others.

    If we are going on looks, I’ll go with the Callaway. I like to be different and go against the crowd when it comes to golf. But I’ll probably try them all just to see performance of what each brings to the table.

    Also valid, best would be going to demo days cause then you wouldn’t need to pay to be fit for them. You can judge it based on your own.

    Not going to lie, Taylormade will replace the clubhead if you happen to smack it hard enough the face comes off. At least they did with the stealth head I had. After that I traded in the new head I got and the old Sim head and switched to callaway since that was was the best driver for me then.

    To be fair, they never came out and said “forgiveness”. They called it “Fargiveness” last year. That’s why they put a video out with the tour players trying to not hit the center of the face and Tiger just couldn’t do it. But it was to show how far they could still hit it with the forgiveness across the face. So no they didn’t come out and try to sell “forgiveness” in that exact word.

    It’s probably the most unknown territory though. It’s like the Takomo Driver when I came out, unknown of what it might be like or if it could even compete with the big names.

    I envy you. I can’t hit any Titleist driver well at all.

    I was using the vice tour ball but switched to the vice pro. I have some of the Wilson triad balls which I believe were in the top 3 under 40 bucks. Going to give those a go when it starts warming up this year. 
     
    to your point about low lofted clubs, I have a 9 degree driver head. I’ve also lofted my 5 and 7 woods down as well to their lowest loft. But I can tell you I need more loft in my irons now cause roasting a 7 iron 198 and hitting it flush, pretty sure I need to not be using a 28 degree 7 iron.

    I feel like when you are trying to test between different clubs, you have to go back and hit the other one or two again after the first go round so you know you’re fully warmed up. I feel like that gives a proper range. Im also not a scientist and I could be so far off in left field it’s not even close to being right in that.

    Yes, I was just stating what I witnessed watching all their videos. I find it fascinating to see the difference each club and each company puts into their clubs meant for the high handicapper and the tour players. They all perform vastly different.

    My friend of 30 years had an old Taylormade driver from 2008 in a combo set he got. He traded it in for the Cobra LTDx and hits Conra woods as well. I will agree that when he misses, his misses make my misses look like I should be playing pro.
