Still getting used to the 849 Pro. Definitely enjoying it. My ball flight has changed to a reasonably consistent high gentle draw.  I got into trouble a few times during my last round by taking the wrong line. Starting left edge of the fairway to allow for the fade doesn't work with the draw!  20 mph wind from the right didn't help either. Getting good distance, and continue to be impressed with how it performs into strong wind. Spin must be low, as I'm yet to see any hint of ballooning.

Just a post review follow up....
Played 18 in 40* temps today after about a two week layoff and was still getting great distance and tight dispersion off the tee.  The only thing I might change is to get the 10.5* instead of the 9*.  To me it had a slightly closed look to it so I opened the face a click lowering the loft to 8.25*.  That's a little low in the loft arena with my 100mph swing speed & I could probably benefit from some added air time by starting with the 10.5* and opening a click to get to 9.75*.  
I'm still very pleased with the performance and highly recommend including the Sub70 in a driver comparison if you are in the market.

The joy of testing…typing all of the numbers into a spreadsheet 😂 

I averaged some of the numbers from a session at Golftec on the GCQuad. I used a Prov1. I was swinging it hard...Lead to some left misses. I feel for the long drive guys. It is a workout hitting drivers! Happy with both numbers (numbers below exclude the two worst shots from my session). Do like the feel and sound of the Sub70. Sub70 spins more than my Gamer. The Sub70 spun more, had a higher peak, and lower distance...shaft thing plays into this.

I'm really enjoying putting the 849 Pro through it's paces. Settled on the weight and loft combination that seems to fit me best. Starting to form some conclusions, just need a few more rounds to solidify things.

Got another 9 holes in. On a golfing journey the weekend to replace an annual trip that has been cancelled due to COVID. Playing 4 or 5 country courses. Should have a good idea how the 849 Pro performs after that, as long as my body holds up.

My intro is up. Played 9 holes with the 849 Pro on Monday. Good swings give good results, of course it didn't make up for a couple of horrible swings.  Was getting good distance and accuracy. I think once we get to know each other we could have a lot of fun😉

Qualifier, the mlm swing speed is about 5-7 mph off consistently when measured next to the prpg and the camera based launch monitors, based on what I’ve seen

Here is some cat nip

Taking the 849 Pro out on course for the first time over the next 2 days. Wasn’t making great contact in the net, but after gripping down a bit was making consistent centre face contact. It’s the same length as my current driver,but it’s shaft is counter balanced. Going to do the odds vs evens with each driver, such a good idea, wish I’d thought of it

It’s on the way! Not sure how long it will take to get here, but got notified this morning that it’s coming. 
 
I’ve gone with a 10.5 Head with a Project X Evenflow Riptide 6.0 60gm. I’ve had Evenflow Blue shafts in my fairways for a while now and really like how they match my swing. From what I’ve read the Riptide should suit me well too.
Looking forward to putting in some range time to find my best loft/face angle/weight combinations to optimise my settings. My clubs range has Toptracer, so comparisons between settings should be easy to see.
 
Very much looking forward to testing this driver.

Wow, very excited and thankful to have been selected. Can’t wait for the process to begin.

They are aiming for a Tuesday delivery here!!  I went with the 9* / Hazrdus smoke black 60 g stiff shaft.  Reading some other reviews of the club it seems to have a lower spin characteristic and I am interested to see how the spin avg compares to the G410.  The Mevo will be getting a workout once it gets here to dial in the settings and weights.
9/27 Update.....The good news....updated tracking info says it will be delivered tomorrow, 9/28.  The bad news....i will be away for work the next two days!!  😭
