BADFanBoi Scotty Posted February 29, 2020 Share Posted February 29, 2020 Most Wanted Driver Testing vs... I'd like to know what the most successful driver on Tour, by most wins, of all time would be. 2018/19 was apparently the M5. Golf Digest did a square off a few years back that said 'the greatest driver's was Callaway Great Big Bertha, but that isn't data driven. Anyone have an idea of what it would be? I'd love for it to be a persimmon driver!

Quigleyd Posted March 2, 2020 Share Posted March 2, 2020 Good listen. I always enjoy no putts given and look forward to it on Saturdays. I think we all accept a bit of shady biz in the golf world. There is so much marketing and maneuvering among OEMs it is hard to keep some lines from getting blurry. Such as pay to play in the golf digest hot list etc. But this case seems a bit more extreme and misleading.

Quigleyd Posted March 9, 2020 Share Posted March 9, 2020 TXG called you guys out today in a live youtube question and answer. Someone asked about the golf.com best fitter article. They seemed to say that the relationship mentioned is over blown. For what it is worth. I really enjoy they club review videos. They are among the best on youtube. tony@CIC 1 Quote Driver: Callaway Paradym Triple diamond 10.5 Ventus black TR 6x 3 wood ; Callaway Paradym triple diamond 15 degree, Ventus black TR 7x Apex UW 19 degree, Ventus black TR 8x Utility Iron: Mizuno Pro Fli Hi 4 utility, Ventus blue HB 90X Irons: Callaway Apex MB 5-PW, KBS $ taper 130x Wedges: Callaway Jaws Raw 50, 54, 58, KBS $ taper 130x Putter: Wilson Staff TM22, hand torched, KBS cutter putter shaft, Super stroke Pistol GT 1.0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
