Nice review Joe, I like the explanations of CG Projection & how hozzle length impacted swing speed. I like the look of these much better than the Calloway offering this year.
Saying Core is better than LS disregards the fact that everyone's swing is different. There will be plenty players out that that will prefer LS over the Core. The Core will suit more players by design, and that does not make it a better driver.
Thx Joe the Pro... I'm all in and will be off for a fitting soon.... Currently got the TM Sim and sometime hit out of the toe so need twist face tech!! Fitted into.PXG irons in Nov so.will go for a fitting there.to see how they all stack up. Macca 5.6 Blackmoor GC.. BTW love the clobber what brand is it?
You talk about the colour scheme and the pro bags, ironically they are launching an all black version of these clubs within the next couple of months, and this is because of tour pro feedback, so will the bags have the all black shiny version, and will TM play with the spin, as there seems to be an inconsistency within this family of drivers.
I think that 2026 will be an amazing year. All of the 2025 drivers that are really good, will be in the correct price point of $399 and everyone will get the best performance around. Not really a 2024 driver that I would purchase right now.
@@JoeFerguson-cd4bg Hi Joe, Here's a question about the Lite I haven't heard answered yet. What happens if someone like me who swings at 119-120 with a normal driver swings the Lite? Surely my swing speed goes up and therefore ball speed can go up. As it's "designed for lower swing speeds" does it have a less robust construction? A different face thickness perhaps? If it's the same construction and the same face I'd love to add more speed and distance to my drives, maybe the Lite is for people like me too
@@turfinteractionsgolf That's a great question and one that I have been pondering for a year or so now. In theory, you are correct, the quicker you can move the club should result in more ball speed all things being equal, but I think (and I am going to test this) when you have a lighter head, it can compromise ball speed. Think if you were to try and knock in a nail with a piece of dry spaghetti (?!), you'd be able to move it really quick but it wouldn't transfer much energy to the ball. It would be interesting to find the point of diminishing returns on this....
@@JoeFerguson-cd4bg It would be a very interesting review. Well worth seeing if you can get the Lite head from Taylormade to test. As to how well it could work, there might be some personal preference there, I really struggle to get along with Ping drivers, mostly because I find their headweight as standard is higher than most other brands. Maybe that helps with energy transfer but I personally find higher swing weight drivers harder to control so I've always used other options. I currently play an Aerojet and I've actually removed the toe weight completely and I even tried it with no weights at all. It turns out the heel weight keeps my face more square so I keep that in but it didn't feel that weird with all 11g removed. Interestingly I know a lot of the Long Drive competitors have their removable weights taken out and they definitely aren't lacking on ball speed.
Golf club sales are due to implode. Performance peaked several generations ago and retail prices have now risen to absurd levels. Video after video shows no performance improvement when compared to the previous generation that you can now buy for half of the original price.
The best club reviewer on YT! Well done Joe!
Thanks mate, that is really kind. Not sure it's true, but it's kind!
Nice review Joe, I like the explanations of CG Projection & how hozzle length impacted swing speed. I like the look of these much better than the Calloway offering this year.
Interestingly both Qi10 and Qi35 standard models seem to be better than the LS models. Allways informative and well done reviews Joe, great stuff.

On the screen these look as good as I have seen - I have always ignored TM as visually it did not suit my eye, but on screen this look amazing !
Honestly, these are fantastic looking drivers Martyn. Well worth a look if you are thinking of an upgrade.
Best looking TM Driver since M6
@@-What-are-your-thoughts I think I would agree. M6 was a classic tbf
Must confess even though I play and love my Titleist drivers they do look pretty.
Great review, informative and highly watchable.
Thank you, I really appreciate that 👍
I like your videos before I've seen em and I never regret it 😂
Thank you so much for the kind words! Much appreciated!
Great review Joe
Thanks bud 🙏

Thanks buddy, from Parmore Golf. Small range but really cool
Ahhh, CG projection explains why Ping 10K can be quite low spin. Brother, thank you for the knowledge.
Lineup looks stunning!
Doesn't it just. Best I have seen in years
I love the first Stealth Plus + driver. I think it would be hard to beat.
a top review done by a expert well done joe
Stop it! You'll make me blush! Seriously though, appreciate the words
Nice review Joe though when you jumped to the office it was a shock 😂
Ha! Sorry about that!!
Liked and subbed. Top summary 👍
Cheers Andy, that's kind. Glad you enjoyed. Joe
The qi35 standard model could maybe suit very well to me...
It'll suit a lot of people Michael, it's awesome! Thanks so much for watching
SIM still nicest driver they've released 👍 bet the numbers aren't different 👀🤯
Soon be hitting a par 5 in 1 .. ill stick to my m6 250+ yrd ..

Who told you it was based on your feedback?
*tour feedback
The original SIM was an absolute killer of a head. I felt like the Qi10 was close. Maybe the 35 will be it.
I'm genuinely impressed as you can probably tell....
Are these what we will get from the shops or have you been sent the tour build 😉
Retail only Baz!
Core model spins way more :.. misses up over 3.k compared to 2.6k in LS ..

Not a bad take if you’re prepared to wait 👍
I know what you’re saying but i can’t play another season with Stealth 2 +. It’s so stressful. I love it, but i also despise it. 😁🥹
Still using my R11s driver (2011) dont get sucked into the ‘new’ technology
@@PaulHipToBeSquareAllen its not the club brother. Trust me
@ Speaking from Experience?
No review on the lite model for us lower swing speed guys.
Sadly not Harvey, wasn’t provided with that model. Although we did get round to answering your questions in our podcast recording today 👍👍
@@JoeFerguson-cd4bgthanks Joe look forward to watching the next show.
Excellent review as always best in the business👏

Carbine + Callaway = 1st lol
Looks like the cobra
A lot better profile to my eye Alan
Agree, it looks like the dark speed
Same matte carbon crown and all

Joseph. I hope you’re getting paid handsomely to don that outfit…
Sorry, but the light gray looks cheap
All subjective I guess but i think the exact opposite. Particularly in person, it looks extremely premium to me 👍
1/4 of an inch does absolutely nothing
Incorrect. There is a tangible, measurable difference in clubhead speed
