I'm assuming, looking at previous release dates, that we're getting close. I'm already shopping, so any and all info on new sticks is a good thing... Based on what I was told yesterday. Driver testing is done; we have moved on to players irons, the numbers were uploaded over the weekend and they are doing the number crunching.

A Nimitz class carrier is over 364 yards long... into a 30 MPH wind... he might not be able to hit it off the carrier...

ChuckZ Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 When I look for a driver I look for two things. Low ball spin and accuracy. Those with the high mph swings are not always in playable territory. Even the long ball competitors look for low spin. With fast swings like theirs they are way off target more than they are in that fifty yard taget range. At the age of 75. if I am in the 90s with my TSI3D and spin rate around 2200 and in the fairway, hakuna matata as the saying goes.

Tim A Posted February 11, 2022 Share Posted February 11, 2022 The new TM is a little faster off the face but the Callaway is a better choice. It has shown to be even to a few yards shorter than the TM. But the key and what makes it standout is the accuracy and dispersion of the new Rogue. Test across the board are getting these results. I play last years tour head Speed LS Triple Diamond after starting with Max LS and it was excellent but the Triple D is off the chain. Hit it so good can’t see a change but if so it will be the new Rogue Max LS Triple D. The Callaway pairs very well with the Hzrdus T1100. The appearance sound and feel is something else the new TM will have to overcome which I am sure leads yo the fact that other face color will be available The Callaway has a higher face top to bottom and the TM is a little narrower which is one thing I believe helps it to play better. Will be interesting when they all hit the market. I expect the hype around the TM will help it be the top seller this year. Time will tell. A few yards shorter but more often finding yourself in the fairway is the best option but too each his own. 2022 will be an interesting year in the driver wars. Be interesting to hear from everyone if you purchase new in 2022 what choice did you make. PMookie 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
driveandputtmachine Posted February 16, 2022 Share Posted February 16, 2022 I hate hitting inside and getting a time at the Kingdom East is near impossible here in Georgia. Luckily Global Golf has the Stealth in their U-try system and for 28 bucks they will ship me one and I can try it on course. Also another great thing is having the all-fit connectors on a pile of shafts here to try in the head. I haven't liked a TM driver in quote some time, and while I don't expect som eye opening changes, the spin numbers I have seen may be just what the doctor ordered for me. cnosil 1 Quote Clubs in great standing Driver - Callaway Epic Max LS - Rogue White 130 MSI TX 3 Wood - Taylormade 300 Mini 13.5 - UST Mamiya Black 79X 5 Wood - Taylormade Sim Max - HZRDOUS smoke black 6.5 Irons - Srixon ZX5 5 iron, Srixon ZX7 (6-9) - Recoil 110 F5 Wedges - Cleveland 46, 50*, 54*, & 60* Zipcore mid bounce - Recoil 110 F5 Putter - Mannkrafted MA/66 - UST Frequency Filter, LAB MEZZ.1 - BGT Stability Clubs in good standing(fighting for one spot).... 7 Wood - Company that shall not be named - UST Mamiya Black 79TX | Util - Callaway Apex X Forged UTIL 21* - AD-DI | Util - Srixon ZXU 18* - Recoil 110 F5 | Util - Callaway UW 19* - HZRDOUS smoke black 6.5 Clubs that need a timeout/replacing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have never really looked at Cleveland driver specs before, but saw this post and went to the Cleveland website. Intrigued by the regular Launcher XL (the one with the adjustable adapter). Looks like their adapters have a lot of adjustment settings, especially with lie angle. And interesting the Launcher XL Lite has no adapter, but I get that it saves weight and is part of what makes it lighter. cnosil 1 Quote Follow my golf journey to break into the 80s Tester for the Titleist TSi Driver Spring 2020 MGS Tester for the Fujikura Motore X Shaft Updated 07/15/2022 Driver: Rogue St Max LS - Autoflex Fairway Woods: Rogue Max St 3HL and 7 Wood Irons: JPX 921 Hot Metal 5 to AW - Aerotech Steelfiber i95 Stiff parallel tip Wedges: Glide 4.0 54 and 58 Putter: PLD Custom Kushin 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeftyMatt89 Posted February 21, 2022 Share Posted February 21, 2022 This is such great wisdom from the article. Distance is king and bragging rights matter so we understand the temptation to prioritize an extra yard or two. What we typically see in testing is that the longest handful of clubs for any individual golfer are often within a yard or two of each other. Given those similarities in distance, we believe golfers should narrow their choices and then prioritize tighter dispersion and greater consistency over one more step on the fairway.

ChitownM2 Posted February 21, 2022 Share Posted February 21, 2022 One thing about these Most Wanted tests I still don't understand is how they select the clubs that get tested. I mean PXG had a strong showing last year with the 0211 and this year there isn't PXG driver in the test. I get that it isn't new, but that doesn't ever seem to have been a criteria for inclusion as long as the club is the current offering from that manufacturer. I mean the G425 isn't new for this year but was included same with ZX5 & ZX7. Also, after a couple of years of reviewing these most wanted tests, especially driver, I have come to the conclusion that the test is really just a reflection of the specific testers used in that particular year. I know that this is the most thorough test in the industry and I love the data and reading about it, but I have to wonder if there simply aren't enough testers to provide accurate conclusions. It's happened in several tests where a specific product did OK one year and then in it's second year of the product run is all of a sudden way better. Or vice versa, where a product that scores in the top 3 is all of a sudden middle of the pack the next year. I mean TSi2 went from 2nd to 11th, TSi3 went from 9th to 4th and if I recall Ping G425 was middle of the road last year and now is #1 (looks like it was subsequently removed from last years results due to a technicality). To me, that just demonstrates the disclaimer that MGS always puts on the tests, that this is just a starting point and you really need to go get fitted to see what works best for you because the results really do vary that much from club to club and tester to tester. For example, the SFT drivers always score poorly even though they are fantastic at what they are designed to do. That tells me that the test field doesn't include very many slicers. If the test field was mainly 25-30 handicaps, we'd see SFT as the most wanted club and TSi3 finishing near the bottom. Just noticed they didn't include last year's winner either. I thought that was going to be a thing going forward.... MGoBlue100, juspoole and jddaigneault 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

revkev Posted February 21, 2022 Share Posted February 21, 2022 Beyond a doubt it provides a starting point - I enjoy looking at the results. What stood out to me this year is that the big three in driver sales were basically the big three in the Most Wanted Testing. I didn't look closely at what was tested but to me it appears as if the results were chalk - Ping best overall, TMag tops for distance, Callaway splitting the difference. I will say from personal fitting/testing that the Stealth produced faster ball speeds than the Ping, Titleist or my SIM 2 driver. For me its a significant enough difference to give it a try. I also found that while I'm able to really pop one with my auto flex shaft in, the dispersion with that shaft is not optimal for me. It's going on ebay to pay for a new stealth and I will keep the old SIM 2 around for a bit as a back up. I already sold my Ping G410. No doubt we will be talking about these test results for a while.
