You hit it out of the middle again Andy. Great having these varied perspectives and interesting to hear what matters most to different people. Keep them coming!
I have enjoyed both your 5 golfers test using different tester with differing handicap and ball speeds. I like that you show their current driver stats vs the test club. I would like to see you with your gamer vs the test driver and if you can find someone that can carry the ball over 275 yards or longer would be great.
This is a superb way to do any Golfclub review. This review & comparison gave me confidence in purchasing this club even though i bought the D Type Draw option. Please keep doing your club reviews in this manner as it is just so helpful to all players of far different H'cap & abilities. Great job & many thanks. MarkPlunkett (Australia)
Love this format Andy thank you for setting up these testing forums, they are far more useful for club golfers. So far IMO the M6 is disappointing when compared the Mizuno ST190 and Cobra F9, but it's great to see how it performs for fellow club Golfers
Well I just came back from the golf course. I tested out my new M 6 Type D driver. I had the red senior flex shaft put on it too. Now I don't have lots of swing speed and I haven't come close to 200 yards in some time. However my first shot went 211 yards, chipped it on the green and putted in the hole for a birdie. I was in heaven. Then I hit another over 200 yards. Funny thing is it didn't feel like I really put a lot of a charge into it either. My swing speed is only 75 to 85. Thanks for the reviews on this one Andy. This made my weekend. Spider Dubiel
I like seeing the performance achieved by players with a range off swing/ball speeds. It would be great to see this for different types of clubs. Keep up the good work.
Just subscribed mate. This video was well put together. Good to see the different thoughts of various handicap golfers. Look forward to watching your videos in the future. Keep up the good work. 👍
This is an excellent review. So many good facets of it. I did pick one up today Andy. M 6 Type D with a senior shaft. Not a lot of swing speed here but it looked and felt good when I tried it out at my fitters . Heading out to the golf course shortly for some real testing ! :) Again, thanks for an awesome multifaceted review!!! Some seriously great work on your part. Peace and blessings. Spider
Another great video Andy. Happy to see a couple of the Bunkers lads in there. Real golfers giving real reviews to likeminded golfers....it’s the way it should be done. After all, as TAGERS we are certainly going to be peppering the whole club face and not just middling the lot. Looking forward to the next one...👍🏼
Talking about Price I just purchased an M6 9° Driver from Dicks Sporting Goods new for $349.00 Haven't had a chance to hit it yet but I will this weekend. I currently have an M2 which I really like if I have my swing right it will put out a gently fade.
Andy. I would imagine that there are a few more of these to come out for the drivers and it would be interesting to get a round up at the end of which one of the drivers they would each choose. Good stuff.
Steve appears to massively benefit from a driver that helps reduce the Fades - this is the 2nd video I've seen that makes me believe this driver is more Draw biassed Andy also had more Draws - again, not a coincidence I think Walter - also more Draws - given his swing speed & spin he produced, he needed to up the loft - it would then for sure have given him more carry Brian - seems to hit them about the same left/right but maybe also tiny bit less right given his added distance with the M6 - but that Callaway Rogue is also Draw biassed imo - as it's not a Subzero version Louis - his 2253 spin M3 comes off the legendary 2200 spinning 2016 M2 and is therefore dialled in far better for his speed / delivery - a similarly dialled in M5 would be a better test for him. Surprisingly, or maybe not as he was by far the best golfer, the M6 was not more Draw biassed than his M3 All in, my guess is: 1) M6 like a lot of modern drivers, is very slightly more Draw biassed than older drivers = better for average golfer 2) with the above said, the 13 degree launch & 2300-2500 spin zone is absolutely optimal for most average golfers - and this driver gets average golfers closer to those numbers Really GREAT video! - and your summary at the end of getting everyone fit individually with the right head / shaft / loft / lie setup is 100% correct
BRILLIANT BRILLIANT BRILLIANT well done again. A great effort from all the guys. Would it be possible to set up a leader board for the drivers to see most improvement from the guys own clubs.
These reviews are brilliant. Very fair and honest. I still think price of gold clubs are the game elitist. Need to bring price down to get more people playing the game.
Great format, it really gives a full picture of what the club would be like in a wide range of swing speeds and swing styles. Someone needs to give Walter some lessons because there is no way he can get any distance with spin rates that low - I am guessing that either his drives look like top spin tennis shots or they are in danger of knee capping someone 100 yards out. Overall M6 looks a very impressive club but it needs to match the price of the Cobra
Hi Andy, were any adjustments made to the drivers for each tester, be it shaft flex, loft/lie etc. or did they all hit a standardised version? I enjoy these group tests, so thanks for doing them.
Great video. Format works well. I agree that the price for new clubs is just ludicrous right now. We should all boycott buying new clubs and just stick with last months (oops I mean last years) model. Let’s face it, last years model was the dogs dangly bits approx 40 weeks ago. I’m a kit junkie snob and love to have top brand names as they give me a buzz but it’s just getting out of hand.
The Average Golfer exactly, which is why we should all stick with last years models, save the money, use it on lessons and start showing the manufacturers that we are not rising to the expensive new shiny things.
Surely companies like taylormade have the business acumen to make prices match the level of proven product improvement. Your 5 golfers although small in sample size did not give any kind of glowing report.
Keep your cash, 1 to 2% gain at best each year. Swing and strike is king, if you ain't hitting it well no driver is going to help. Yoga, increased flexibility, health and general fitness with some lessons would get you so much more value than 500 squid on these.
The "gains" with any new driver are NOT worth the extra cost. None of the distances and dispersions in this test would make much difference to a players score. Spend your money on lessons, spend your time practicing short game and putting.
Gerry . . I enjoyed participation in this test. I agree with your comment about lessons and practice as that is what I do. I did not find the data justifying a rush to swap but the feel and confidence the M6 gave was enough to make me think about it
Good video ,but probably shows now that company's bringing out a new driver every year is not making much differance ,a two year cycle is better .Technology in cor is maxed out and has been for some time ,even forgiveness is not really much better .More practice at the range would be more beneficial .
Were these people fitted for this driver or was it stock? Complete waste of time if they were not fitted... Makes such a difference. Oh.... And less annoying adverts please 😉
@@TheAverageGolfer I only say this because having just tried all the latest drivers, they were so different with different shafts. Cobra F9 won hands down for me (with the right shaft)
@@jaybyrne4562 The problem is Jay I end up spending a lot of time trying to pull people together and why the same pool is being used. Send me another email with your details
Thanks for the very useful review! But for those of us struggling to break 100, it would help if one of your test team could be a 24-30 handicap.
Great content, in my opinion the best type of club test on you tube, thanks for all your efforts.
Thanks Nigel, big compliment

I tested this against the Callaway Rogue, and both produced fantastic numbers. I went for the Rogue in the end on price

Thanks for input and hopefully more to come from Bunkers
I like the format, like to see other average golfer. Well done as usual TAG.
Appreciated
I enjoy this format for club reviews. It does prove, as Andy says, that you have to test a club for yourself.

Love #teamavg . Gray way to test. I hope for more if these. Walter is just the best, he needs his own channel !
I'm enjoying these types of videos keep it up
Cheers Mark
Steve appears to massively benefit from a driver that helps reduce the Fades - this is the 2nd video I've seen that makes me believe this driver is more Draw biassed
Andy also had more Draws - again, not a coincidence I think
Walter - also more Draws - given his swing speed & spin he produced, he needed to up the loft - it would then for sure have given him more carry
Brian - seems to hit them about the same left/right but maybe also tiny bit less right given his added distance with the M6 - but that Callaway Rogue is also Draw biassed imo - as it's not a Subzero version
Louis - his 2253 spin M3 comes off the legendary 2200 spinning 2016 M2 and is therefore dialled in far better for his speed / delivery - a similarly dialled in M5 would be a better test for him. Surprisingly, or maybe not as he was by far the best golfer, the M6 was not more Draw biassed than his M3
All in, my guess is:
1) M6 like a lot of modern drivers, is very slightly more Draw biassed than older drivers = better for average golfer
2) with the above said, the 13 degree launch & 2300-2500 spin zone is absolutely optimal for most average golfers - and this driver gets average golfers closer to those numbers

BRILLIANT BRILLIANT BRILLIANT well done again. A great effort from all the guys. Would it be possible to set up a leader board for the drivers to see most improvement from the guys own clubs.
Like that idea, will have a think how that could work
@@TheAverageGolfer maybe the guys could award points for each extra yard. Points for feel, looks and cost compared to their own equipment.
These reviews are brilliant. Very fair and honest. I still think price of gold clubs are the game elitist. Need to bring price down to get more people playing the game.
Glad you are enjoying Richard
Although the testers liked it, my advice is to wait for the M7 which is being released in March.
Hahaha this one made me laugh out loud 😂😂
BTatHome. So did my career as a comedian
I preferred the M6 over my F9, hitting the M6 only once but I hit it on the screws!
great video, invaluable to have real amateurs not just pros who can bomb anything 300 yds
Thanks more to come
Interesting video and |I see that you're branching out.......................saw you on Holby City last night LOL

Ignore me, should watch to the end before opening my mouth!
This is the way to do a test, thanks
Glad you are liking
Really like the format and would like to see the results with my driver the Srixon Z785.
Lots to come and maybe the Srixon soon
hi bud, for average swing speed and same shaft, would you recommend st190 or m6?

Apologies I know you said no spec but we're they fitted with shafts suited to their swing speeds? Tony

I have used taylormade drivers for donkeys years, bubble shaft technology and on to the sldr 430. What I gleaned from this test was price to high .

All drivers testing missed one point is the type of shaft used in the driver testing or driver comparison.
