lamb Posted March 24, 2020 Share Posted March 24, 2020 Dynamic loft would provide much more detail regarding this. Static loft is pretty much irrelevant. I want to know static loft to have a baseline. Dynamic loft is useless for comparison if you don’t know the static loft (ex. If two clubs average 15* of dynamic loft, but have 3* difference is static loft then that tells you something).

I post this a lot but it never hurts to hear it again. This data is just a start to put you in the right ball park. Standing in one spot and hitting golf balls using a LM is just so very different than playing golf. Kinda like a dating service that matches you up with data that should indicate a good match. But when going on a date, it just doesn't click or actually works out poorly. The numbers were there and you gave yourself a good chance to make it work but live interaction has it's own variables. ... I have given these examples before but I was fit for the R1 over the RBZ because it produced less spin with more carry as well as more roll from a better AOD. The RBZ launched a little lower with more spin and less roll but it felt so much better and looked a lot better to my eye at address. But I was losing about 10 yds per drive. Bummer. TaylorMade convinced me the R1 was the way to go and it was hard to argue with them. But on the course I was all over the place. Trajectory was consistently lower and my normal left miss turned into a 2 way miss and after about 5 rounds I had lost confidence. TM sent me the RBZ and it was better with the first drive. Nice high trajectory I was used to seeing and better carry than the R1 unless I was into a breeze because it definitely spun more. But I was hitting fairways again and I had confidence in the RBZ where I had none in the R1. Obviously this had everything to do with my mental attitude because looking at the smaller looking deeper faced R1 did not fill me with confidence like the larger headed shallow faced RBZ. ... Several years later I hit the original Ping LS more consistently than any driver I ever hit on Demo Day. Every drive had the same trajectory and similar distance and the numbers were just about ideal. Long and crazy straight. But it sounded soooooo bad and those turbulators were very detracting to my eye. Taking it out for a round of golf was a struggle. Very first drive was a little low fade and the sound was so much worse than on the range with hundreds of people hitting balls all around me. I had to check the head to make sure it did not have a crack because it sounded so bad. I managed to hit a couple of good drives but several really bad ones with 2 in the water. I was hitting this driver to places I had never been before and not in a good way. Having learned my lesson with the R1 and given that there was a LS Lovefest on wrx, I was able to sell it for a slight loss. ... So Quigleyd that SIM that has ben a monster may just beat out any other driver you put it up against. You already have confidence in it on the golf course and in the end that is all that matters. Of course I am not suggesting you don't demo a driver with better numbers if it looks good to you because not may turn out to be better, but your bird in the hand may just be better than the two birds in the bush regardless of the data. I really love these MGS driver tests, but they are just a start to narrow down the drivers you want to demo on a golf course.

PMookie Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 Funny thing is, in all of my fittings since the G410 came out, I only hit it in one fitting, and at a demo-day. Both were before the LST became available. I have meshed with almost every Ping driver, but my G30 beat the 410. Crazy.

juspoole Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 Need to dig down deeper into the results and article, but looking at the TS3 results, it seems similar to what Titleist always is. It's not the longest or lowest spinning, but for me and it seems like others, has always been a consistent and reliable performer. I've hit other drivers longer, when I had the Taylormade M2, it was much longer but I also could spray it everywhere. Every Titleist driver, I've had, it's been consistent with fairly good numbers, but also the ever important confidence boosting. From everything I've seen on Ping over the years and from this site, I would love to try it some time. I did demo the G400 LST with some fairly good results, but it was missing the moveable weight element for me. I noticed that I was more consistent when I did have a weight in the toe. I thought about the hot melt or lead tape, but just didn't go that route. I want to give another full year to my TS3, but definitely may pick up a G410 LST next year if I find the right price.

I'm glad it works for you, TM makes great drivers, and I have hit the SIM MAX-D better than I did the first model. But it still lags a bit behind my TS1. Totally agree. I tried the ping and didn't get the best numbers from it. I would have just liked the bragging rights of the 2020 best driver award haha. At minimum I know the award is based on results and not paid for like other well known "hot lists". sirchunksalot and Golfspy_CG2 2 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...

My 2 cents there. I tend to agree with the format.....not as hardcore as this but i am not sure how drivers with so many different factors included can be compared. Different shaft lengths, different lofts, different shafts? No robot testing? Ill be honest, im a little confused. Maybe i expected something totally different. but the bottom line is stats can be manipulated anyway you see fit.....so, because some testing parameters changed, certain drivers are now viewed as "middle of the road"...even though they still fly just as far and disperse the same.....i gotta say, play what works for you not what a test dictates. I am very disappointed in this test to say the least. Edited March 25, 2020 by Tsecor heribertomaya 1 Quote Golf is cool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I updated my driver last summer to the G410 plus OTR. It feels good, but I definitely want to spend more time playing with the settings after the lockdown ends. Based on last year’s most wanted driver article, my brother picked up an Epic Flash, and he’s mightily pleased. A fitting is in my future, but at the moment I’m happy with what I’ve got. sirchunksalot 1 Quote WITB 2024 DRIVER AEROJET 10.5° | FAIRWAY ROGUE ST MAX 3/15° HYBRID G410 21° | UTILITY 699 V2 U 5/23° IRONS 699 V2 6-PW WEDGES CBX 2 50°, 54°, 58° | PUTTER KS1 BALL MODEL | PRO | SUPERSOFT BAG 3.5 LS | PUSHCART RV1S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JB2123 Posted March 27, 2020 Share Posted March 27, 2020 I thought I heard there were plans to test the winners from previous years against this years most wanted winner. Is that information out there or was i mistaken in thinking that?

Thanks! That makes sense. I'll be excited to see the results once this is all over and they have time and the capability to do that testing once again. sirchunksalot 1 Quote Right Handed Driver: Sim 8 Project X HZRDUS Smoke RDX 60 3 Wood: F9 Speedback 3-4 Project X HZRDUS Smoke 70 2 Iron: MP-20 HMB Project X HZRDUS Smoke RDX 90 Irons: ZX-5 KBS $-Taper 120 Wedges: Hi-Toe 54 and 58 KBS Hi-Rev Putter: ER 1.2 Ball: Tour BXS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
