It’s hard to argue with it the thing is a Unreal driver I mean that one there again that 2100 I know it’s got like a high cut high cut in it nothing wrong with a cut I like it I’ll take it all day I’ve said that like I would love to

See that more than something that turns over at the minute it’s more automatic more consistent for you this driver for sure okay guys welcome back to the channel big one today Mikey boy you better be on your game my son you know what you didn’t pay the fit fee you’ve

Taken me out of the office and you’re not going to use what I fit you for what did you fit me for well I’m just saying how’ you know people know the commentators know what did you fit before you don’t remember I don’t remember fairywood 3-wood or something

You couldn’t beat my sim too anyway stubborn we’re here today we’re going to look at driver there’s been a few suitter there is the current driver tsr3 there’s the bracket winner dark speed LS there’s been some pxg action in the bay there is also two others that have entered into the conversation all

Current for 2024 qi1 LS and Triple Diamond yep cway Triple Diamond now I know I said that the Mach was good and was going to be the one I’ve been working on some things and changes in my swing and we’re in a decent spot right

Now and I kind of want to really build a driver around where the way I’m hitting it right now that’s the that’s the key to right now right so over to you Michael all right well get in the bay get nice and loose for me where do you play what your

Golf what do what do you see as sort of the keys to this as far as you know my game and you know how I want to play in the course what do you see as the the key elements to this being a successful Driver F yeah we played a couple weeks

Ago early March um and you you really hate that that high right ball on the M because it doesn’t go anywhere it slows it the ball speed goes down I hate the hook as well I mean the high block fade and the uh the hooky one and equal doses

Yeah I would say though for the amount of hooks that I’ve seen you hit minimal To None compared to the high right kind of and you are working on something in your swing so something that can obviously we would say to every customer want a dollar your dispersion

As much as we can consistency of strike but really that high R is something I’d like to get rid of for you today me too me too all right let’s get some baseliners okay FES so you obviously have a bunch of drivers at your disposal the biggest thing I will say is driver

Shaft wise and we might try some stuff the one you’re very confident with very comfortable with especially during a swing change shaft is I don’t really want to change shaft right now like I don’t really think it needs to be changed like it just looks very easy and

We’ve talked off camera before where you know we’re doing this driver fit but I like you in in one combo I think it works extremely well so keep the shaft but um we’ll start off with tsr3 it’s kind of in the spec that that you’ve been gaming maybe changed a little bit

Today but tsr3 A1 setting MH VF 5x weight uh T2 and you’ve got the green weight in there as well yeah yeah yeah just light lightened up the head a little bit just to allow for the slightly longer playe length at 45 and a half so yep comes out good just a a

Couple notches under D4 yeah good swing yeah I feel like if I stood up and hit that on the first couple of t- shots of the day before really kind of getting too loose and you know I definitely don’t feel too loose right now I’d be over the moon with that as a

Flight I mean good thanks for coming that’s tsr3 is best let’s just go grab a coffee and use the other hour to talk about how good that was the nice thing with this one and and again that kind of high Miss right that you’ve been seeing

For you that perfect window was like 12 and 1 12 13 launch at you know you know like you’ve said earlier you like a, 1900 1800 spinner cuz you can control it right um yeah I mean that right there is is really good give me two more with this one

Swing and like you said earlier that that second last one is a you know that’s good as tsr3 is going to perform I think for you watching that right that kind of low strike Healy strike watching how much better we can make that for you if

You can get more out of it yeah qi1 LS felt good too nice to see that one Mikey yeah how that strike feel not great yeah lower yeah probably yeah low heel almost but I love the result on that low heel and it’s only spun up to 2400 yeah that’s that’s

What I’m looking for yeah and stayed on that left side it had no business going to uh to the right side for you not bad again like good signs from one that wasn’t wasn’t really perfect not buttoned and you’re getting away with it yeah another hole hum straight down the

Middle mhm the second last one you hit was the one that went a little out to the right side for you and we’ve managed your Miss really well with qi1 like it definitely seems in a tighter window that Miss out to the right’s not 3,000 anymore it’s you know 22 or 24 to

2500 all right okay f um Callaway Triple Diamond you’ve kind of dabbled with callway drivers I keep saying this the last few years I feel like you’ve always wanted to play a triple diamond um AI smoke Max was pretty good early this year uh but literally this driver has

Been set up just out of a video we did with wonder he brought you some tour Parts some parts that people won’t get their hands on and you’ve fallen into the window of good old standard Triple Diamond um forward forward and obviously running with the same shaft through all of these yeah um

Let’s see it again that right word shot that you have it’s flatter low spinning six you know 163 one like it’s it’s definitely got some some speed off that rightward shot like 135 at 21 is pretty good so Triple Diamond probably being a bit more fade bias for you but

It doesn’t really it doesn’t hurt you by any means definitely less of the the dreaded straight ball like qi1 gave us like Q 10 had the dreaded straight Ball but went far this has got that I mean you can call that a cut if you want but

You know a little up the right side and you’re not sacrificing anything no anything you’ve hit so far that you like the feel of better like Qi 10 you like the the way it sits better or all in their own ways to be honest all in their

Own ways I really like I like different things about each one this one’s I love the misses on on this AI smoke me too yeah like I actually don’t feel like I’ve put as nearly as good as swings on this ones I have in some of the early

Ones think anytime you see my startling go right like this you know I’m like tilted yeah so there a couple more it’s so good it’s a gameable flight isn’t it yeah totally really gameable flight how’d that feel not bad as I say I feel like with this one my start lines

Aren’t quite on it mhm qi1 looked more what I would say automatic very tsr3 in a way but qi1 managed your Miss probably the best this doesn’t put you in trouble it just I would say this what to me when I hitting them and how I feel I feel

Like this has been managed this has managed to miss the best yeah because of the standard deviation on the spin like it’s done an incredible job yeah and that flight comes down a little bit too like again which avoids that being too high and and losing some

All right FES uh I mean could we call it an underdog for this year the uh the Black Ops driver I mean we could but the more people talk about it the less of that totally Underdog or underrated it’s becoming so yeah I think you still can

Because I don’t think pxg are quite at the point where they have a great lineage in their metal woods yeah I think they’ve been building towards a great line and this is certainly that so yeah I I still think could be okay standard Black Ops neutral setting yeah not the tour

Mikey not the tour going see some different spin with this one e yeah how’ that feel good not too bad slay toy yeah this is a great driver for I feel like if I was missing it a little bit but like I’m I’m swinging well enough

Today to handle all the ls models and stuff yeah this one just feels like it will just be thing too is like a little bit behind those ball speed comes down a little bit spin goes up so when you miss it you’re you’re sacrificing more see bracket champ bracket winner see what it

Does okay weight on the toe for you yeah 12 grams in the toe three in the back and three in the heel mhm and there’s that little right push in a way and comes out a bit flatter for you which is nice everything compared to

That tsr3 that miss is I mean if you turn that Miss into a strength in a way it’s not going to put you in as much trouble anymore for sure I said ear I don’t fear the spin mhm that looked like it was L yeah yeah 16,700 that’s say your Peak height comes

Way down launch goes way down take that back up a we bit on it’s quite cute this thing isn’t it you’ve said in the past though like you find sometimes the drive drivers can either be a bay driver or a golf course driver I mean ball speeds up but that

Launch and spin or sorry Peak height and spin really come down with this a fraction a fraction of a worry outside where he almost sneak into being a little too low you’ve already Loft we’ve already lofted it up for you yeah I let me hit one more yeah these

Like wasn’t the best strike but decent the only only thing I’ll say is with dark speed you pull up the numbers is there’s there’s a couple low left ones couple low right ones and then the odd straight one but nothing as consistent as what Qi or Triple Diamond have done

Okay FES uh we’re throwing in Black Ops tour yeah that Black Ops um standard just spun up a little bit for you it did um so see if we can sneak that spin down and I think as far as this test goes as well and we’ we kind of done it in the

Bracket because we were kind of curious as much as anything else but a BlackOps versus LS and triple diamonds and TSR 3s it is apples and oranges totally so it’s swing mhm felt like a good Strike Team out fladder yeah 11 launch 1800 spin or speed down a little bit M almost identical

Yeah no yeah just you know Mikey like there’s there’s certain drivers that I can move quicker mhm this isn’t one of them that one HS 111 111 111 I feel if I put dark speed back in my hands right now I’d be back to 113 114 yeah you hang out at 161 with

That and dark speeds 166 yeah yeah okay okay we’re not on this thing to three yeah we’re doing around two TSR qi1 power back to uh Triple Diamond okay same setting great swing really nice so got good launch conditions this yeah yeah it’s not 14 and two you know 21 it’s really

Good the speed is up there yeah 164 if I can get the angle attack down yeah I mean straighter and ball speed goes up yeah launch and Spinner obviously launches lower than we’d like to see it but I’m honestly over the moon with that yeah like I’d rather there than 14

Launch and a bit right yeah I’d far rather that it’s a little it’s a fairway finder isn’t it yeah dead street dead Street Qi yep Qi 10 ls it’s a nice flight yeah up launch is left it feels like it’s got a little bit of Fade to I don’t know if it actually

Does that just started left and stayed dead straight that was a good swing I that’s right out of z z where you want to be everything everything about that 129 166 ball yeah 95 feet in the air that’s money right there it’s really good that felt unreal obviously as it

Does when you get out the middle but what’s it like out of the middle I’m just getting familiar with it it’s been a while that was good it’s another really good strike say you’re not probably happy enough with the the strike felt okay but directionally but it’s still it’s still

In play not in trouble spin kicks up a bit but it doesn’t hurt you good as well so good one more the strike has just found its way back in isn’t it as comfortable as I felt over that’s some good drives in a little bit okay back to Old

Faithful mean that’s it isn’t it 2900 on that one yeah that’s just the one I hate well hit it better then what hit it better then I’m trying go title is far up it was quick it just just G of had a little bit of that slightly slow in it try not bad

Try had a good one for you Michael to finish okay I’m I’ll wait I’m patient that was a good one I mean look all of them are very good but we talked about it earlier that triple diamond standard deviation on spin is wild dispersion is nuts ball

Speed really good launch is good triple diamond wow welcome to your new driver Happy Well I’m going to see two more it’s hard to argue with the thing is a Unreal driver I mean that one there again that 2100 I know it’s get like a high

Cut high cut in it nothing wrong with a cut I like it I’ll take it all day I’ve said that like I would love to see that more than something that turns over at the minute it’s more automatic more consistent for you this driver for

Sure that’s so good I guess Below in the comments we can start a poll how long will it last though one month three months six months we’ll see so triple diamond look at that spin it’s nuts of all the ones we hit off you know from an offline

Perspective like it’s just very very straight yeah Qi 10 I mean not awful yeah I probably missed a few in the first round with it and then had had one that went to the right you were faster the second time yeah I got some I got some really nice ones

Going second time around but pick your poison look at that it’s literally identical yeah press the space where it spe it up yeah it’s quite good just to see kind of like like the furthest left was a tail two furthest right sorry two two furest right was a tail you know that

That’s it’s good to then see like there was one that was low yeah but really the rest are in a really nice window the Cy is as guys that you know do this day in day out and we obviously rely on the number numers I think the numbers say Callo yeah I mean

That dispersion if you got rid of all these numbers I say to customers I’m a visual guy look at the dispersions I mean if you could give someone that confidence with a driver all day long I know I I I will say though in hitting them and Cody just said the same

Thing ease of use like the the tailor made was probably the one that you know because we always if we had a couple squirly ones I mean those are most of the shots I’d say probably 80% of the shots stayed in there yeah I mean that’s

That’s a high ratio for having hit 50 OD drives totally 501 drives yeah so it was about as as good a test as probably we’ve done for I’ve done anyway on the channel um settled the straight Stu hit it I feel really confident with either one of those play

Tomorrow I mean I’d be putting triple diamond in the bag but if you’re second guessing it also then that’s half the battle I know I know we all have issues we have a trip to Florida coming up I think coming back from that we’re going to we’re going to

Have one of those in the bag totally yeah right that’s fair enough isn’t it you bring in both I think little range session yeah a little range session we’ve got some time before we play our our matches so yeah I’ll get on the course see which one feels super

Comfortable but I’m over the moon with both yeah yeah no really good I like yeah I’m I’m with you I like both you’re not hurting yourself playing one or the other definitely definitely okay guys um that was a a really fun one and after all the testing we’ve done on drivers

And the bracket and I love my own driver but I’ve known for a little bit there was kind of just a little fluctuation spin that I just would like to sort of eradicate I think I’ve got two drivers that I’m really really going to enjoy helps clear it up especially this close

To the season yeah agreed okay um guys hope you are starting to or maybe you uh maybe you started a while ago getting the bag ready for the season we’re just about there mhm where’s your bag pretty close uh I mean I’d like a driver fit

But I need a lesson first yeah you need to be a lesson you be a lesson we’ll get that down in Florida and then we’ll do your driver F make it back up love it sounds good all right guys stay tuned we’ve got some amazing content coming on

  1. The last time I did a multi brand driver fitting it landed between Callaway Epic and G410. Epic was longer but went with the G410 for its usability.

  2. Ian is never going to end up with the Smoke. It did everything he wanted with the tightest dispersion and he was trying to justify using the Qi10 instead. Personal preference is the most important variable.

  3. Fun to watch. It would be fun for myself as an average golfer to have access to such testing. Ian has such knowledge and access and then the ability to actually use what he picks. As average golfers, we don't have the finances to get exactly what we need. Enjoyable to watch true professionals test so thoroughly. I've been to club champion. The fitting I experienced is nothing like this. Fun to watch

  4. I don't understand why almost all the shots were ~1.45 smash. Does that machine read low? What in Ians delivery is causing the low smash?

  5. Ian, how did having so much experience hitting the drivers through the bracket influence the quality of this fit vs most people hitting the clubs for the first time in the fit itself?

  6. I wonder if ANYBODY can keep driving straight and long with the perfect trajectory all the time. Seems to me THAT DOESN'T EXIST, even at the pro level.

  7. Just wondering why the Cobra was a 6x and the rest were a 5x ??Cobras spin was a little low, could the 5x bring the spin into that more desired window ??

  8. Why did the shaft go from 5x to 6x when you went to the Cobra?? All other heads had 5x in them.
