Looking forward to some upcoming demo days where a good number of vendors are present and you can hit multiple clubs. 1 Quote I got something to say then I'm gonna say it.

With so many testers, 37 I think, there were certainly a handful where the SIM ranked as the best for them, but just not for the majority of the group. But I certainly understand the part about wanting to wear the badge of playing the Most Wanted Driver, nothing wrong with that at all. Having had the SIM MAX for a few rounds then moving on from it, I think it definitely isn't a plug and play driver, it maybe more than any other driver out this year requires a thorough fitting from a qualified fitter. 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". 2 Quote Driver: SIM 9 Motore X F1 7X tipped 1 inch Utility Iron: Cobra King Utility irons 18 degree Aldila rogue 90 X Irons: Cobra King forged CB 4-PW KBS $ Taper 130 X Wedges: Cleveland 49,52.58.64 Putter: Kronos Release.

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 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. 1 Quote DRIVER G410 PLUS 10.5° | FAIRWAY G410 3/14.5° HYBRIDS G410 19°, 22° | IRONS JPX 900 FORGED 5-PW WEDGES CBX 2 50°, 54°, 58° | PUTTER KIRKLAND Signature KS1 BALL DUO SOFT + Z-URS SUPERSOFT, HX HOT BITE (old stock) BAG 3.5 LS | PUSHCART ROVIC RV1S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jayjay0808 1,217 Posted March 27, 2020 Share Posted March 27, 2020 One of the drivers I was keeping an eye on was the TR20 460. I have the TW747 in the bag for a bit and it performed very well, however up against a new Speedzone fully custom fit I think the shaft characteristics were slightly off. They now openly offer both the FD and FP shafts as options. Were the testers able to put those options in play?

therod 92 Posted April 1, 2020 Share Posted April 1, 2020 I'm also surprised the Extreme finished higher than the standard Speedzone. Maybe we'll see different results with Cobra when they break down results by speed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
