One thing Matt was so good at was sprinkling in questions and reactions that would prompt Ian to explain the *why* behind the numbers. And because Ian and Mike are such experts that they don’t need anyone to explain anything to them, you realize that what’s missing is the guy who was effectively the stand-in for the audience, sharing what he sees and feels and asking why. An understandable adjustment. I have faith they’ll figure out how to navigate this change and start to dig deeper.

Miss the old pre-roll already. It was minimalist done right.

I never related to Matt's swing (a lefty hitting bombs). I always liked Ronnie for that reason. So....why do I miss Matt not being on this video???

Callaway engineer here, awesome test/review but I wanted to add one thing. The lefty sleeve on a right handed driver won’t allow you to get -2 loft from standard. I’m assuming you were using the lefty +2 setting which is effectively the same as a righty -1 setting. Might explain the higher launch/spin you were getting compared to expectations. Also kudos for picking up on the rounder bulge on the TD model compared to Max LS. That combined with the improvements in inertia tightened up the dispersion for off center hits on the tour models. Cheers!

As a video production professional, I can absolutely tell when Matt is involved in a video and when he is not.... Had to call it out.

Gentlemen, this reminded me of engineering classes I had in college, great information but presented in a very monotone fashion. You risk the possibility of losing audience attention. You need the impromptu remarks and excitement that had previously been provided.

Rogue is peaking my interest over Stealth thanks for the numbers 👍

As a lefty with decent club speed, these videos just wont be the same with out Matt

not gonna lie, im gonna miss hearing you say “mattyboy” 🥺

Everyone's seems to be chatting about the Stealth, but I am considering replacing my Mavrik with the Rouge. The colour scheme is sharp to my eyes, although I never had an issue with my Mavrik either

The Max LS is the driver I’m looking at for this year. So consistent with ball speeds across the face and consistency in distance and dispersion. The TM is getting all the hype but the Max LS is very close in ball speeds and distance and wayyy more consistent and forgiving in a lot of the reviews that have come out. TM has a few hits that go wayyy out there but too many that go right, left and short, where the Callaway seems to have a tight grouping.

For the 1st time I feel like 2nd swing actually did a better video, really miss Matt. 😮‍💨

Was a bit confused if I clicked on the latest TXG video or the new season of Peaky Blinders … well done lads. 👍🏴‍☠️

Nice to freshen things up once in a while. I know that most of will miss Matt though. Bring on 2022 TXG videos :)

wow, love the new quality of the video. :)

HOLY QUALITY BOYS! Production levels look incredible!!! Love that new intro too!

This video feels like a new chapter in TXG. Looking forward to it. One thought for videos: Given we are all tech junkies, can you put the club specs (loft, shaft, settings, etc.) that are tested/compared in each video in the video description? Then we don't have to go back through to find the mentions of it in the videos (which sometimes you forget to do, but we almost always ask anyway).

Miss Matt! He was so awesome on camera and provided great context. Also why is TXG not catering to women customers? I’ve only seen a handful of videos featuring Women.

As much as I truly loved the Ian and Matt combo and have watched *far* too much of their content, I’m very much rooting for Mike’s success and for him to find his feet. While we all loved the Matty content, I feel we should welcome Mike with open arms and be supportive and understanding of his welcome. In the end of the day, we love some TXG content, and sadly the best things in life change with time. Cheers to all.

Out of the gates it did look like Stealth had all of the buzz/hype but will be interesting to see how actual sales pan out now that more people will be able to try these drivers. Thanks for this overview!

I want to see Rogue Max LS vs Epic Max LS. I'm excited to test my Max LS against the Rogue Max LS both w my Tensei White 1K shaft.

I do like the new intro, but damn do I miss that music...

Looks like Matty took his studio lighting with him when he left🥲

never the same without matty, sad to see such quality sell out

Music is gone? The quality looks great! I can see every one of mikeys freckles. Foresight needs to give you the FSX Play Beta.

Congrats on the merger with club champion and the opportunities it opens up for TXG. One suggestion on future videos, would a 'fitting 101' series be a possibility? Basically a one stop library for a golfer considering custom fitting so they understand what effects the well known options have on the shot eg stiffness, shaft weight and some of the lesser known effects like deflection etc and what the "ideal" metrics are for a given club at different speeds? Appreciate this might be overkill but it might be worth it so the customer has a greater understanding before they arrive and can give clearer feedback to the fitter than it does/doesn't feel good.

Been away for awhile what happened to Matt, I'm left handed nice to see a left hander testing clubs.

Mike - great start! You’re definitely going to grow into this as you go. Keep it up, bud!

mergers and acquisitions happen all the time. such is life. sad to see matt move on but Ian is still a wealth of information and has incredible insight

At Ian's swing speed, it's hard to make large distinctions between clubs. But someone swinging it at 95mph might see a significant difference. Ian's trying to squeeze out a few more yards; the average player is trying to keep it on the course somewhere.

Love the old and the new intro!!! Keep the content coming boys!!!

As a CC fitter once told me, “that’s like buying a suit at kohl’s over one from an Italian suit maker” when talking about not getting clubs Pure’d for $35 each. 2nd swing’s videos are getting better if you’re looking for another channel to scratch your itch like me.

You can get a Triple Diamond from Callaway online. I already have the new Max LS in the bag. I pre-ordered it and Callaway sent it out early. I decided I didn't like the swing weight, so I put a heavier grip on it. The guy in the pro shop was stunned that I had one already. I just smiled and he said, "Hey, I don't want to know." I tried to explain that I don't have any connections at Callaway; I just ordered it early and paid for overnight shipping (that took 3 days because of customs). Hit it today without my launch monitor working, but it seems longer than my Titleist TSi3, but if it is, it will be due to roll, not carry, because of the lower spin.

Thanks for the content guys! Excellent as usual. And congrats on the recent news.

Finally a 4k camera! (:

We need Mattie back asap. The energy is different… a bit flat… Ian is the brain trust of the PXG brand. Matt was the heart and soul. He was a left handed ‘Iron Byron.’ Wherever he has left for, I will follow his channel and socials. 💪🔥👍✊☝️💯🙌🤜

Love it, I'm excited about this change. I actually took a break as the videos felt like they were starting to become repetitive but I'll probably jump back in to try these new ones. It's possible it had to do with the pandemic situation. People complaining about free knowledge and wisdom on youtube is hilarious, but hey people will always find something to complain about. Congrats to TXG on this milestone, I'm excited to see what happens next. Cheers!

New camera or lighting? Quality is looking sharp 👍. I think I might end up with a Rogue ST this year. The old Ping G20 is due retirement

When will you guys compare the Rogue ST Max & ST Max LS against the Epic Speed & Epic Max LS?? Even the Epic Max posted some awesome numbers when Matty tested it. Enough with the Stealth for now. Other KZfaq golfers who do reviews & testing are showing that Stealth is longer but not as consistent as the Rogue Max & Max LS on off center strikes. That’s another video you can do as well but with Mikey as the tester on both videos. He’s more like the most of us. Got to admit though, Ian, you’ve got an amazing swing and control but it’s not normal. You and Matty (you will be missed) are machines. Great job as always.

Great video! Very excited for to see Ian and Mikes expertise really put on display.

This is what I’ve been waiting for boys 💪🏼

Think LS will be going in my bag this year! Had a fitting at SGGT Edinburgh my fitter said he knew you was a great experience

Agree with other comments that this was a snooze fest without Matt.

Always enjoy seeing more Mike on the channel. Tough it’s at the loss of Matt, but I think the quality of information will still stay top quality. Excited to see how the channel evolves from here.

This is good. Once you get multiple testers at different speeds and abilities it is going to be next level. I’m excited for what’s coming on this channel.

Solid review as always guys! Looking forward to testing the max LS myself. Love the look of it and always done well with callway drivers. Would love to see Mikey do some testing. My speed numbers are pretty similar to his.

Now bring on the Stealth v. Rogue v. Cobra comparison!

Went to fitting looking LTD - ended up with the Rogue Max ST LS. 9 degree head on Accra TZ6 shaft. What I found was of center hits still stayed on line albeit not as far (smash down to 1.35 for example). Stealth and LTD had to be perfect hits. Looking forward to getting it. PS it was a fitting at your company.

Video looks good, sounds good and love the graphic overlays... great work boys!

I wanna see the Cobra and Titliest Drivers. At some point we gonna see a new Mizuno and Srixon - those may be a bit longer. I wanna see Matty open up with all the 2022 drivers in a showdown at the end of the year.

your SD looked better on the Triple Diamond to me...I definitely prefer the smaller footprint visually...thanks for the video!

Solid review. As well as this style "what's new?" test, I hope we get to see some clubs tested in depth with a stock shaft and then contrasted with an optimized fit, and with different TXG staff - Ian, Mikey, Cynthia, Ryan etc.

New intro, new lighting, love it. 20 seconds into the video and excited to see what the new partnership brings. Congrats again on the deal guys, made up for you

I’m an average golfer with 100 mph club speed. I found that I hit the triple diamond the best. I was thinking that the max would be the better option going in and you needed higher club head speed to get the triple diamond working for you.

All the best in the future boys.

Great video, fitting mentality packed with information

Information I've seen from Callaway says that the left handed sleeve on +2 is -1. They say it's just the number on the opposite side of the cog.

Yeah I play the max ls as well, for me the triple Diamond was a step to far, I use the 10.5 put 1 degree down, it kind off takes the sharpness of my standard miss to the left down. I never saw myself a good driver of the ball, but this club makes me feel different about it. I use the stock shaft Tensei white stiff

Keen to test the LS triple 💎 against my epic flash triple 💎 . Love the flat lie angle and fade bias

It will be interesting to hear what happens to Ian's fairways hit/GIR numbers this summer.

The sound of the first driver……. 😍😍😍

The Rogue seems to be getting solid reviews. The triple diamond for the masses is an interesting addition.

Ian so if you’re a right-handed golfer and you use a left-handed shaft adapter on your Callaway you can get a -2° so if you have a 9° head with a left-handed adapter you can get a 7° head out of that

My only suggestion is to use the range vs. a course so the ground is flat for all club tests. Otherwise too many other factors are involved when the ball lands (height, slope etc) to compare Apples to Apples. I'm biased because I like to compare your numbers to mine. :) Great review otherwise. I am surprised to see the Triple diamond is slower in club speed. I thought the smaller head would make it a little faster.

Definitely miss Matt is was nice seeing a lefty to there isn't many of us

Good review! Can’t wait to see stealth vs rogue!

As someone who has a constant driver swing speed of 115, seeing the consistency of Matt made me want to dial my driver in more... Definitely miss him stripping it. But I guess it's next man up.

The video I was waiting on want this in the bag

Like the new look… interesting this… was thinking upgrading SIM to Stealth… maybe have to have a go around with this option gents!!!

Great to see in 4k… although colour was off and sound had to much sibilance…production after Matt👍

The one I’ve been waiting for. Would you say these are more mid to low spin vs purely low spin?

Would love to see a comparison of the new rogue LS up against the dear old epic flash sub zero. I currently use the old sub zero and love it.

Got a feeling this could start to go down hill now. Bye Matt enjoyed watching you over the last few years.

Am I the only one confused about 290 yards carry from 160 ball speed? I appreciate the video and comparison. The numbers just seem off to me.

Not looking to replace my g425 LST but that rogue is a sexy beast

Great video 👍

Love the intro

Hey, Ian. Love your channel. How are you getting almost 300 carry with only 160 ball? No matter what driver I have hit, SIM2, MAV, RAD, EF SUB etc, on my Skytak with my optimal #s at 13-15 launch and 2400-2500 spin I am always almost dead on 280 carry at 160 ball. From my experience, watching PGA #s on tv and you and Matty specifically, it seems that usually it takes at least mid to upper 160s to get that kind of carry. Did you guys turn on the down wind setting, lol? Just messing with you...but I am curious. Keep up the great content. Some day I'm coming up there for a full fitting from Wisconsin. You and Matty for a FULL day! 😉👊

Been to test centre today and tried the Rogues LS & triple diamond, Cobra ltd & ltd ls, & the stealth, was very close for me between the rogue ls & cobra ltd, but found the Rogue edged it for the dispersion

Any big improvement over the Epic Max LS? I’m waiting to purchase a driver, but I like the weight track on the Epic line.

This is kinda like the old school TXG videos with the way the camera is set up. Love the new changes boys 🙏🏽

PSA: Callaway is now offering the "Tour" shaft sleeves (Tour Strong and Tour Flat options) for your orders, when placed through custom shops like TXG....

Let’s hope Matt starts his one show ! Miss him

Love Ian and Mikey! But it just isn’t the txg that I know and love….

Rogue Max LS and looking forward to hitting BOMBS!

Dammit that was an excellent review....but i still miss Matt!... guess ill stay subscribed 👍

I love watching Ian swing but I'd also love to see Mikey in the bay since his swing is closer to the average golfer.

Who drives it that well?! Ace. I’m loving this Max LS design.

Why Callaway decided to remove the "Sub-Zero" moniker I will NEVER know. The name alone made me want to try the products regardless of the tech.

Ian is your SS down? I thought I saw you up to 117ish with that old sim?

Will you guys be doing the driver bracket again?

Wish I could get those numbers, my ss is similar

I am a 10 handicap and went to Club Champion to get fitted. He fitted me for the Triple Diamond...but seems like its for the better player? He fit me for for the price difference than the Max LS?

What’s the head weight of the Max? Looking at building the driver at 44.5” putting in my ACCRA FX 3.0 260M3, but afraid that the head is too light for that build. I don’t want to alter the characteristics with adding weight to the head. Ideas?

Please Please say we still have Matty for this year's driver bracket.

How different is GC4 vs. FlightScope? With 160mph ball speed, 13 degrees launch , and 2500 back spin, I get no where close to 295 carry that you guys are showing. It's showing close to 262 yards.

If you play a fairly long course but very tight, what spin rate would you look at? I ask because you mentioned 2100 backspin on a course that isn't penalising

Good fair review, nice to see the Callaway drivers head to head! It's good they are trying to improve forgiveness more on off center strikes. Keep up the good work boys. :)

Mikey how was the launch the same between the two head’s yet dynamically there was nearly 4 degrees in the difference?? 🧐

I have the max LS from 2021 and I LOVE it. Could you comp the 2? Likely not switch unless new is thatch better?
