- My new golf driver which one is better? with Mark Crossfield golf professional. Mark has two new golf drivers that he will be playing this year one in the XXIO range featuring a very light weight golf shaft and the other from the Cleveland golf range in the HB Turbo Launcher which is much closer to the driver Mark is used to playing. Can he find more yards and hit longer drivers with the Cleveland driver or the XXIO driver. How will these numbers compare to his old Titleist driver and any of the Callaway, Tayloramde, Cobra, Mizuno or Ping drivers he has tested. IF you are looking for the best golf driver of 2020 will the Cleveland or the XXIO X models be in you demo list to try .Watch as Mark talks about how he goes about choosing a driver and what he is looking for in his golf clubs when fitting and trying to get the best golf driver for his golf game.
In the comments below let Mark know what driver from the two tested you would choose and which one would you want him to start the year using.

Is Coach being held hostage in the shed? He's always there behind the computer. Coach, blink twice if you need help. 😂😂😂
:-) When is Coach changing clubs and what is his process? What is he looking for?
Perhaps he's just simply too tired to hit a few. Newlywed and all that, y'know. 👰 🤵
I like how we see the computer screen on the wall rather than the projected image! Good work coach !!
18 months ago I was fitted in to the Benross Evolution R. My driving is the best it’s ever been.
They are made by the same company. So you're seeing the Natural Light vs Michelob Ultra test. If Srixon was tested it would be Bud Light in the group.
You've been testing these clubs for weeks now and still aren't confident which driver would suit best. How are us mere mortals supposed to get it right in a 45 minute fit session at a range or in a studio?
Excellent point Paul!
What i Hear is: he said that both produce the same results but like all products YOU can change the results with your effort
You know these videos are filmed in batches on the same day, right?
I think what you have to take from it, is that if your not completely happy when it comes to paying then its time to have more sessions on the fitting. 45 mins fitting for some will be enough time and for some it may be 2 or 3 or even maybe 5 sessions to get fitted for what truly fits them. My new driver i got at Silvermere but i first got fitted at my golf clubs and then American golf before my final fitting and i did end up with a different driver in the end as well so time well spent for me.
@@garethedwards9896 Silvermere certainly have a great facility for their fitting, but if you don't buy something, you're paying money for that fit, so multiple sessions there isn't viable. I think this particular test is a bit skewed because those two are really opposite ends of the spectrum. Saying that, it highlights that the performance gains aren't massive, between a £800 club versus a £270 club, so why spend the money. If it's free, I'll take the extra 10 yards of carry, if I'm paying for it, maybe I'll save my £500.
$345 Au for the HB Launcher Turbo in OZ. I bought one. Love it! The fact that you are even considering the Cleveland shows that you are not a golf club snob.
I think you should game the CHBL first. It would assist a lot of golfers who don't have access to a fitting service see what you can achieve with an off the rack / non adjustable driver. Getting the right loft for your game is the only variable; 9., 10.5 or 12 degrees. For me the ability to hit the fairway far exceeds my need for 5 metres extra carry distance. Being way cheaper is a big plus too. I thought the Cleveland also had a counter balanced shaft?
Love your honesty, you are no longer a robot but are like us all searching!
Thanks for your help and showing us what we should be trying and considering in our golfing game.
As a person who has tested both drivers. My decision came down to the complete flow of my full set. With that being said. I went all Cleveland's. Driver 9* to Halo 2&3, to HB irons 4-DW, 54* and 60* CBX2 wedges.
Hey Mark, Good stuff. Enjoying the stuff you're putting out right now. Interesting comparison. Here in The States you can get 2 Cleveland Drivers and a couple dozen balls for the price of the XXIO.
So I guess you're no closer to a decision after that test. I remember you enjoyed the srixon 785 driver, love to see a comparison. Great review thanks for your efforts.
I know it's across the pond, but get the guys from TXG involved in the process and compare: their process/how they do it/results TO yourself fitting/your results.
(if you think there would be any difference at all).
Jared Fernandez great idea mate!
This really shows that you should search when buying new clubs. Have 2 or 3 brands in mind, and then try them out. You dont have to buy that day. Go back in a week and try your top 2 drivers out. This just shows how being warmed up helps. That XXIO is such a beautiful driver, but man that price tag is a bit too pretty for me.
Morning,I’m going to get fitted for new irons and the pro has those irons and says that they are great , thanks
I love the idea of the Xxio, but in terms of grips... even if it's lighter I wouldn't necessarily go thinner just because of the feel. Like... feel is such a personal thing, but being comfortable with it is so important... Excited to see Mark on the course with these bad boys though!!!
I find it amazing that you haven’t got the Srixon Z785 or Z585 in the mix? I think you’ll find the perfect driver out of those instead.....please test👌🏽
Tru that. I still play the Z545 while a callaway rouge collects dust in my garage
ACGolfwrx very strange.... Mark had to have seen something in the Z line that swayed him the other way.... but I agree, the 785 keeps up with almost every other driver out on the market
Strange on the Srixon point as i was just fitted for one and for me it performed the best and is not at a bad price point either compared to the bigger brands
Mike Cerniglia yes very strange, I have fitted many with great success 🤔
Gareth Edwards I’m not surprised you were fitted for one. They are excellent driver’s and fairways
Just purchased the Cleveland Launcher HB Turbo driver here in my home town in Ontario Canada. It was on sale for $449.00 CDN funds. Love it.
I honestly think if the Cleveland was priced higher, people would like it more. Traded a dude my casio watch for a Cleveland Launcher and its the best.
I think the Cleveland shaft is counter balanced too?
That XXIO definitely works for your lifestyle of when you golf. Always love watching you boys work through things, figure it out, think about it. All good stuff! Can’t wait for some course vlogs to see how you do 👍🏻
At $699.00 I don’t think the XXIO will fit into my bag, a whole lot too heavy.
I agree. Go for the Cleveland, and spend a bit on some good lessons. For most players, that would give a very positive outcome.
After seeing the first 3 shots with xxio, no way you're gaming that
Hi Mark, you said at the end that you can see why the launcher is still in the conversation, if I am honest, I can’t. For you, the XXio wins every time, the money argument doesn’t come into it, you have access to both and you should go with the one that is clearly better when considering your game and travel etc. You shouldn’t say the other one is still in the conversation just because it is less expensive. Your audience is educated enough to know that what works for you might not work for them and you have no responsibility on what they can afford. Just my opinion but I am sure someone else would bash you if you didn’t promote the cheaper one too so I understand. Keep up the good work
No two ways about it. The Srixon is a better driver! Test the 785! So solid and great numbers!
Not to be controversial, but a colder golf ball could potentially go further. The ideal scenario would be to have an ice cold ball in warm weather for optimal ball speed. Hard ball ricochets faster, and warm air should have less drag, particularly at altitude
You have to game the XXIO it's the one I'm most intrigued by.
Plus it's got a Cylon on the top of it, will it go better than a storm trooper or snowman.
If you have so much trouble choosing why not alternate for a few rounds and get a better idea. Obviously there is a simple choice for anyone that is actually buy one or the other.
Love the superimposed launch monitor screen. Coach Lockey aiming for a BAFTA?
Great video , love the exchange’s between yourself and coach, working it out ... 😉🏌️♂️⛳️🍻
Hi Mark, can I make a suggestion as daft as this might sound, why don’t you do a video with a driver that you can buy off the shelf and that’s just not suited for your game then adjust it with shaft, loft etc and fine tune it to show how important getting fitted correctly really does improve your game, because I still know lots of people that will buy a driver purely off advertising or seeing someone else with a driver and thinks wow he’s now 10 yards past me instead of me being 10 yards past him, I’m sure you know what I mean, it would be interesting too see how you dial the club in to suit you and how dispersion becomes much tighter with the correct fitting. Just a thought nothing more🤷♂️
Lol. Coach does look like he’s in a criminal line up 😂
Same same it seems but for looks i reckon the Launcher would suit my eye.
I'm not sure the XXIO is twice the club of the turbo as the price would suggest. I'm more sold on the turbo for my next driver and fairway woods. But I'll have to give up my extra 15 yards RBZ's to do it.
My comment on the XXIO is you are setting up a higher variance driver (light head, light swing weight with counterbalanced shaft, club face opened to target line with delofting (this will almost certainly increase lie angle as well (more knife edge)) but when you hit it, you 'can' get a 277 carry. If you are going to be running out of cars to do quick rounds this does not seem like the path to take. Would like to see a TXG 'fitting' video where they test out both with a dotted up face to show impact and recommend some tweeks (Head weight, non counterbalanced light shaft, etc)
Cleveland Drivers are so underrated... Just because they're "not cool"... I use the Cleveland Classic as I love the deep face, I gamed a Cleveland Comp with NV65 S shaft for 11 years until it cracked on the top of the head... For many years I was one of our clubs longest hitters with my trusty Comp driver, Cleveland are quality!!! 👍🏻👌🏻
Is coach banned from hitting drives after the Callaway debacle? 😂
i am getting a new driver for the start of this season for the first time. i find myself in a sea of empty promises and big price tags 😂 ive been rocking a 2nd hand titelist 905r since 2008..
I actually think it would be interesting to see the results over 18 holes. Maybe even playing the same 9 twice using each driver on opposing holes and seeing what effect fatigue has later in the game.
I'm not sold on the ultra lightweight shaft. Only real-world testing will give you the answers you seek, Mr. Crossfield. I also think you should add the Srixon driver into the mix. Why not?
Great drivers but what about the Z785?
Have you compared those two with the Srixon Z85 driver? I’m just curious
Go with the sexio Mark. It might give us some laughs to start with.. I feel that you're happy about the change in sponsor because it gives you the chance to test yourself and the skill that you have in changing your shot in situation. Wish I had that.
5 wood vs 3 wood - when loading your bag which would be most versatile I carry a 5 only - easy to hit off the deck and in a little rough.
Btw the cheapest on ebay in the states on the xxio x black driver is $589 compared to the Cleveland launcher turbo $289 depending on which shaft you want
The average golfer in me wants to see the Cleveland, but you'll play the XXIO. Me? I can't wait for the weather here in Western Washington to get warmer (it's like England) so I can hit the range with my Garmin G80 and see which driver I'm going to use this year: my brand new fitted Ping G410 Plus or my 2014 Callaway Big Bertha. I'll cry if I get better distance and better dispersion with the 2014 Callaway.
Yay Western Washington!! Lol right there with you up here in Everett... legit was complaining to my friend today about how nasty the weather has been! :-(
Surprised that the Srixon driver has not been tested with the other two?
Your love affair with the xxio is eerily similar to my love affair with my 917 d2. Struggle for consistency but I’ve hit bomb balls (280-290 carry) but live in the 230-240 carry regularly. The bombs memories are what keep it in the bag
I think the XXIO is out of my price range. I think you should go for the Cleveland as not many people in my opinion will have this in the bag . So I think you should go for that your mate James Robinson liked it 👍🤓
Here's a carrot: test HB with lighter shaft. Love how coach is making a special effort to pronounce "zeeeexxioo" 😋🤭
Coach actually suggested that right at the end of the video just to contrast the price point since the HB is way more accessible for most people, myself included.
I don't care which one you game first, I just want to see you out on the course with all your new clubs
"he's brining zexio back" 🤣 Interesting to see the numbers and how you enjoy playing it once you're dialled in properly and if you are happy playing the shots you need to optimise it out on the course 👍👍
XXIO all the way - enjoy Mark
The weather nice and sunny here in California. You guys should come here and play.
Well that was interesting! Seems this is a good example of how much, or, how good of a shot, we're leaving on the "tee" without proper warmup. The Muppet Tour Pros are in this "not warmed up" predicament almost every time they video for us, we might have to vote on forcing it...probably not, but it's a fun threat!!! Great share Mark, great editing Sir Lockey, Thx, it's always a learning experience for me.
Just brought the Callaway. Great driver, sounds awesome. Fantastic price.
The cheap one would be nice to see first. It would make a statement would n it?
Has to be the XXIO hasn't it? Although I reckon once you've got the Cleveland set up proper it will be equal, that's just how it is.
Oh I see, you guys are going for the TXG production feel
This is exactly the feeling I got. Not bad, but familiar.
Jose Hernandez yeah I like it. Now we just need Mark hitting 340
I feel you have to start with XXIO, the potential is huge. Sometimes it's comfort zone vrs. potential.
The Z585 driver is incredible
Coach is the new Lester...can't leave his stool...LOL I say go for it Mark! If you keep it up it'll be #300 soon.
Loving the testing videos with mark and coach!
Super information but still so entertaining to watch!
Keep it up guys 👍👍👍
I thought for sure you would game a Srixon driver. Possibly the Z585 since it has a glued in shaft and you have made some recent comments about adjustable hosels vs glued in shafts for most golfers. Somebody needs to be the Srixon ambassador on YT. The drivers have made gains in sales. I see them at local shops now. Cleveland drivers are almost nonexistent and XXIO are just novelties.
Really like the look of the Cleveland turbo
Those few first XX leaky hits are exactly what Im trying to eliminate from my game. They really are nasty to watch
With the space you have in the bag with the choice of wedges, put them both in the bag! Looks like you have a fairway finder and then one made for the 10 finger step through.
Will keep the marketing departments happy.
Additionally gave you tested of the deck at 7* it's a shot you play?
I thought you would have had the Srixon Z785 in that mix. If its good enough for G mac its good enough for your bag.
They must have given you bags of gold to switch from TS3 to that XXIO
I think the Srixon driver beats both of these , why are you not showing us or trying this one out ?
Give us a review on the Srixon driver
Did mcdowell not win over the weekend with a Srixon driver ?
Put a lightweight shaft in the Srixon Z785 driver and test it again Mark 👍
Good job showing how to test our clubs and what to look for when we get fitted or we look for new gear. Great video!
Really looking forward to the first course vlog with your new gear. I just added Two new Cleveland Halo hybrids into the mix. I have 11 total Cleveland/Srixon clubs. Great products at a great price.
Hi Mark, It would be interesting to know why the Srixon Z785/Z585 are not in the mix.
I want to see Xxio first even though I have the turbo hb...my curiosity for Crossfield long bombs wins the day
Cleveland all day bruh..!. Great looking driver, good sound, and very good numbers, including the price.!! Great vid guys xx
Mark, why have you not included the Srixon Z785 driver in your considerations?
I love lighter shafts and have just changed from a heavy to a lighter driver shaft and I can do so much more the driver now. How about trying a heavier shaft?
I'm curious as to why the Srixon drivers aren't in the testing process?
XXIO
Loving the new screen overlay for the GCQuad
Nice
You’d have to play the XXIO in my opinion. If you control it like those last few you’re hitting a club less almost into most greens. Do it bruh!! 👍🏌️⛳️🍾💪👊
Coach I thought with your OCD you'd have flipped Marks sleeve down by now.....please do it for me then!😳
How come not trying Srixon driver..you know..the one GMAC just won a $1M with! 😂👍👍👍💣
5 seconds in and I’m offended and angry. Pound key board and type mean things I would never say in person. Rage! Non fact based options I pull out of thin air. Feelings feelings feelings. Something about a shaft and my wonderful handicap!... does that cover everything? 😂😂😂
Always enjoy the content Mark keep it up!
Thinking about buying the Cleveland driver and 5 wood. Love to see you test both outside at the same time
299 on the last drive. Nicely done!! 👌👍
Definitely XXIO first! Would like to see it on the course.
Love the Cleveland/srixon content. Would love to see you compare the turbo HB and Wilson D7. Battle of the affordable fixed hosels.
Would like to see how the Cleveland performs on course. XXIO is out of my price range.
I want to see the Cleveland on course with a tiny bit of hot melt in it to tame it's obnoxious sound. I really like the looks of the cleveland. A bit G400ish
The XXIO X driver is $699.99 vs. Cleveland Launcher HB Turbo $349.99. That’s. a $350.00 difference. That’s twice as much as the Cleveland here in the U.S.. XXIO is a boutique Japanese brand. Mark you definitely have to go with the XXIO. Look at those numbers! 👀
Great vid Mark have been looking forward to the comparison between the Cleveland and the XXIO.
XXIO just looks a little harder to control unless you bomb it. Tough choice but I think your edging towards the XXIO.
If so can I have the second hand Launcher. Lol. 😀
What about the torque on the light shaft? I tried a TS1 with the lightest shaft and gained significant yards, but found my misses going way off line. One of the differences I noticed from heavier shafts was lower torque. Miyazaki’s seem to have lower torque than the shafts paired up with TS1. True?
The new Callaway which you tested was far superior. I use a M3 tour, so not a fanboy for Callaway, but this XX10 looks wild, not in a good way!
I'd like to see the Xxio in the bag first with the launcher irons.
Have you tried the Wilson D7 driver? Similar weight to your XXIO and good consistency for a fraction of the price. Good videos!
The turbo launcher looks a fantastic driver. I don’t know a great deal about xxio as a manufacturer are they a premium brand like peg? What are there irons and wedges like? Interesting 🤔
Good vid Mark, would like to see you test a lighter shaft and thin grip in the Cleveland to see what difference it makes as that is a far more affordable driver for us more mortals. Could lead to us all swapping to lighter shafts 🤣
Chilly balls ❄️❄️❄️
duh XXio Really is it even a ? Agree with you Mark that lessons will do more for the average golfer than custom a shaft. but believe me your fans would love to see thee TXG boys get their hands on a player of you caliber.
hCeers from Norcal lets get some decent weather for you guys!!!
