    Great opportunity, would love to rack and stack this against my old school Taylormade M1. The M1 was one of MGS best drivers and performed well in the best of the best test! I’ve used the original M1 for the last two seasons. 
    I kept breaking the M5 and Sims so I went back to the M1 when the Sim 2 came out! 
    Taylormade was great about replacing the heads but not ideal to have to keep swapping them out! Approximate timeline of drivers I have used from Taylormade: 
    2016 M1 original 

    2017 M1 

    2019 M5 x 2 

    2021 Sim x3 

    2022 to current (original M1)

    Thanks  OnCore for providing the opportunity. Curious to see the results! Interesting that there is a price difference between the x2 and x1. I went with the x2 because it has the highest swing speed profile and it is the lowest launch. You can do a ball fitting test on their website and get a $10 off coupon. Might try the ball if I do not get in the test!

    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.

    @twyatt700 haha yeah I had to keep track of it that way from my session at Golftec on the GCQuad..take a picture of the screen on my phone and put it into Excel. Going to post some numbers this morning.

    The MLM is a good tool but the alignment is not perfect. I have had some troubles with the Rapsodo in their monthly closest to the pin challenges. I understand they are going through updates all of the time. It's a useful tool for video and numbers at the price point!

    I have finished up most of my testing on the Rapsodo MLM and the numbers are pretty comparable for my Gamer M1 and the Sub70. I am happy with the Sub70 but I would love if I could put my tensie pro shaft on the Sub 70. 

    Observations I swing the M1 faster (likely a shaft thing) and the M1 launches lower with even being .5 degree more loft. Numbers below. I am happy with both numbers. I do like the sound of the Sub70 more than the M1. 

    I am going to play around with the weights to see if I can close the gap between my Gamer and the Sub70.

    So I don’t know if this against the rules but I am getting two other shafts built to test with the head, not sure if the riptide is the best shaft for me… I’ll let you all know when I can test them all out. 

    @twyatt700 i really want to do the same thing! Are you buying them from sub70 or just using getting a tips to put on other shafts?

    The MLM RAPSODO bombs test is what I will highlight here. You only get three shots in the competition. I went with my gamer M1 and the Sub70 in each session of three consecutive shots. Testing under the gun is important… you can’t delete a shot.
    Summary: the sub70 was straighter, launched a little higher, lower ball speed and distance. Overall the numbers were really close. I think the differences in shaft might play here too.. both low launch X flex but the Sub70 has a lighter shaft. I missed 1 of the m1 shots a little low on the club face as shown in the picture below on the right. 

    It was 50ish degrees in Dayton Ohio. I was using taylormade tourspeed range balls.

    Did another range session today with the Sub 70 and my SZ extreme.   I'm continued to be impressed with the feel and sound of the club on balls out of the center of the face.  I definatley feel I can be a bit more aggressive with my swing with this club.  I'm going to test some other shafts with it to see if we can get a bit more out of it than the Riptide can offer. 

    I agree the feel is quite good when you connect with one. Muted sound and the ball comes off hot.

    I did adjust it a click lower in loft to 8.25* and coupled with a heavier weight on the toe it took away the (over) draw bias I was seeing during the first test.  I will be interested to see if others experience is similar.  It is probable that I will welcome that draw bias in winter time golf when my body and swing aren't in midseason form so it's nice to be able to make adjustments to the club.

    @JFish350 I played 9 holes with the club and another range session with the stock settings. For me the head looks closed. I kept the driver in play, but I had to open the face to play a fade. 

    I am going to try the extreme fade setting, extreme draw setting. Hopefully the pictures I take will get a good look.

    Shoot me a message or reply here if you want me to look at anything specifically!
