So let's cut to the real nitty gritty here...does anyone know when the Most Wanted Driver report will be made available? 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.  My guess would be 21st ish for article to go on the main site.

I guess if it (Top Gun 2) gets delayed another year, Cobra will come out with the "Need for Speed" as next years line. Or at least use it as their marketing pitch with Bryson hitting balls off the flight deck of an aircraft carrier.... Okay, if they do that I will buy it... And I want some credit for the campaign. 

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...  Would be funny to have the Captain speeding the boat up to keep his ball on the deck.

Yeah, but if he is hitting from the forward cats he only needs to clear about 150y. I still want to see this, lets go Cobra. Have an F-18 launching from the other Cat at the same time(or insert one digitally for a less charred version of Bryson).

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.  Just sayin'

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.

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.

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.

Uh, MGS might want to be a wee bit more careful - the Wilson driver under "embrago" is blurred out up top in the section breakdowns but not down the bottom in the full chart, and the image is easily enlarged in a new tab 😉

Me too.  I'll bet a whole bunch of folks did not expect the G425Max in the top spot.  I did test it against my G410P last year at this time during my bag fitting but it wasn't offering any real advantage... the KBS TD shaft did.

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.

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....

I think you might see those score higher when they release the updated results for best driver by swing speed.  As a rule, more mid to higher handicaps usually have lower swing speed and will slice the ball more often.  Just saying this as the larger rule, definitely a lot of guys who don't do that in those categories.

I had similar thoughts. Why wasn’t the G425 included last year? How does it stack up against last year’s winner? 

It would also be neat if there was a comparison tool that sorted everything in a simpler way than the tableau. If I’m looking at three drivers, can I compare them side by side. Just a thought.

I saw there was a link for more data, but when I clicked it came up as not found.  I wonder if that's what they were after?

I think you might see those score higher when they release the updated results for best driver by swing speed.  As a rule, more mid to higher handicaps usually have lower swing speed and will slice the ball more often.  Just saying this as the larger rule, definitely a lot of guys who don't do that in those categories.

I know, I was just using that as an extreme example of how much influence the specific tester group can have on the test.

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.  Thanks MGS and your testers.
