      I think not ONLY his swing changed but facing the gravity of been on your own no parachute his helping a lot to focus on your best attributes. When I was at ( the place on Scarsdale ) for one fitting fall 2022 it smelled closing time at the bar…and I watched him practicing alone no great talks amount the staff.

    I actually love the look. It will hide scuffs and scratches better, and i look at my driver head-down on the tee box anyways. Otherwise it sits in a headcover and i can't see the sole anyways.
    I like it. If companies are scared to try new things, we'll never get new things. I approve of this one.

    Hey Matt, love what you do. An easy fix for some sound issues with the space is some simple EQ'ing. Can remove a hum in the background pretty easily, and usually cheaper than adding some acoustic treatment to the space.

    I appreciate you and your channel. Every year the new latest and greatest come out. Every year a new “lighter materials so weight can be shifted” golf club is made. How much better is this vs an old sub zero? Spin rates and ball speed really that much different? I would like to see the last decade of low spinners against each other. I think a new driver every year is too much.

    Based on the 138 mph 7i in your drills video, I think these 180s are much more about you than the Ai smoke. Would be nice to see a h2h with the paradym td to be sure. Most other reviews are finding a fast driver. But nothing earth shattering. Maybe 1/2 to 1 mph faster on off center hits.

  • @joamkits
    @joamkits 6 месяцев назад +2

    Smash factor is around 1.45 which is good, but nothing new. So the ball speeds are from your swining it at 127mph! If you pick up your tsr3 or any modern driver, don’t you get similar numbers if you swing it at that speed? Great to see you being at a good place with your swing👍

    • @evansnyder5948
      @evansnyder5948 6 месяцев назад

      It’s the added forgiveness that makes all of the difference. Ts3 is not going to be crazy forgiving having 180+ ball speed 1/2” in the toe nor will it be a laser like the one he hit. It would also fall out of the sky like a dead duck. Wouldn’t retain 2000+ spin like this does.

    • @evansnyder5948
      @evansnyder5948 6 месяцев назад

      All I’m saying is this is more than marketing hype. This driver is objectively better than its predecessor. It’s exciting to see companies come out with better drivers that aren’t just a facelift from last year. We all know we were expecting paradym in a new black and gray colorway. Titleist has been making real measurable improvements it for years (probably why they release every other year). We will see with tm, cobra, ping or if they went for facelift or actually better, however, this driver sets a a good precedent.

    Great review! I know you've alluded to doing something similar but I think there's a niche on RUclips for comparing new products vs the previous generation. I look at all these videos and wonder how much better they are than the previous, discounted generations.
    Most channels will have the launch reviews, but i havent seen any compare to older drivers yet so there's a gap in the market imo.

      It's always enticing. But be careful when moving away from spin. PING drivers don't miss because their engineers know that spin is control. Callaway drivers have always been very fast, but there's nothing like a PING driver (this comes from someone who used to have two PING drivers and uses Callaway currently)
