Ive got the Qi10 Max but there is no amount of technology that will save your drive from a funky swing! 🤣 I find that if I swing within myself and keep things believable this driver is amazing BUUUUUT the second I try and pretend to be a tour pro with a 150mph swing...yeah...that ball aint staying inbounds on the golf course! 🤣

I just spent $650 on new ping after fitting and I hit it the same distance as my 10 year old Cobra, BUT the ping is forgiving as heaven. I'm 56 now, regular shaft works great.

@paulhuk2748 Ай бұрын

Just sold my M4 driver and got a PXG 0211 2022 version (for the same price £120) and love it, so maybe in a couple of years this years PXG will be affordable and then I can give it a go. Keep them coming mate.

@sevesellors2831 28 күн бұрын

Great review James as to prices here in the UK the majority obviously love paying high prices because the big names dominate the market and the new Ping and new Titleist drivers are now nudging £600. When Wilson, Cleveland and Cobra become the big three then you know that the consumer has said enough is enough in the meantime prices will continue to rise and irons at £200 each are becoming the norm.

@SusanCox-j6x Ай бұрын

I went for a fitting and discovered that for my swing the Ping LST 430 worked better than anything else - even their 10k model. Just goes to show how important a fitting is.

I didn't like the turbulators, till I hit the G430maxtenk.....(and breathe) and after trying it, I'd hit it even if it had a picture of sunak on the top...ok maybe not that far..but its so good to hit, just ridiculously straight and great distance. The turbulators actaully make alignment easier too, which I found a struggle with the Qi10 infinity crown. So I'm going to learn to live with them!

Just upgraded my R1 and got fitted into a PING G430 10K. Now it’ll be my driver for the next 10 years!

Putting a fitted club in this test is a bit biased, we need to see base spec numbers. Any driver could be good with a multiple hundred dollar fitting getting exact shafts and weight combinations mate

TSR should replace the Callaway in this list. Callaway drivers imo have been incredibly unforgiving since the EPIC line.

What about the mizuno 230 st-max? For 300 dollars it has to be in the top 5. You can use the money you save on an upgraded shaft and have a better overall driver than any of these 500-600 dollar ones on this video in my opinion. Or am I missing something??

I don't have a lot of money but, if you told me I could hit the ball 250 yards off the tee and be in the middle of the fairway 9 times out of 10, in today's price structure I'd pay as much as $2000.

Hello James!! Longtime subscriber, longtime golfer. I thought you guys were all about the clubs that were best for your budget not the ones that I would have to take a second mortgage on my house to buy.😮 Why not give us your top five budget drivers like maybe Tacoma, 11 clubs of that caliber.

Unfortunately you didn’t go down range and show dispersion nor length from each driver. And don’t take this wrong but sounds like someone got a little something under the table from p.x.g? Get my point? And I’m not taking any sides I play Titleist TSi.

@JamesRobinsonGolf Ай бұрын

I’ve reviewed them all and the Mizuno wasn’t in my top 5, I’m sorry if this upsets you, what’s your top 5? As mentioned, all personal preference 👍🏼

@markpilker4158 Ай бұрын

Didn’t upset me and think your channel is the best…I think Taylormade has gotten to gimmicky and don’t think they are as forgiving as the Mizuno or the Titleist TSR2 plus both those drivers are gorgeous and Callaway well other than there’s from 2years ago just never found there’s to be all that good or good looking

So forgiving drivers means the most expensive and the usual perceived top brands. Difficult to justify the outlay when my Cleveland driver and the Wilson drivers hit it just as far and arguably are more forgiving.

The 0211 set is pretty reasonably priced. You just don't get as many customizable options with it. I have the 7 and 3 woods in 0211 and they're fantastic! (I think they cost me $150 brand new). I also have a Gen 5 hybrid which does have some adjustability and honestly, I haven't tweaked it at all.

@JamesRobinsonGolf Ай бұрын

Why does handicap have correlation with disposable income Stevie? That’s a very strange take.

@davidbell2649 Ай бұрын

I did on a Qi10 Max (20 hcp) after fitting and it is fantastic. Yes, it was a retirement gift to myself, though what I noticed most from my old previous driver was the reduced distance drop off from off centre hits. My fitter asked me what I wanted & my reply was all the help technology can give me. I tried the standard qi10 driver too, but the numbers from the max was what I needed. Very happy with it.

@davidmccarthy1175 Ай бұрын

Not true Steve,it's dependent on your disposable income. I'm a 20 handicapper down from 25 this year from hitting more fairways with my ping 10k. Prefer look of PXG and Qi10 but found ping 10 unreal on forgiveness

James, your focus on the looks of the club is subjective. Everyone's idea of what looks good to them, hard to say. I think that clouds your objectivity way too much. As for sound? Who cares? Seriously, who gives a hoot. Does the equipment work well or not.

Was fitted for all 5 of the drivers you used. PXG is not even close to as forgiving as my current driver ping 10k or the qi10 standard/max or smoke,,even the aerojet. Did find it more so than the darkspeed tho,I'm currently a 20 handicapper. You do tend to favour your reviews to what you are using even if its not the best for you. You did this last year with the triple diamond,because it was the power driver u kept using it but was clearly not the best for you. Love your work just nor always your titles.
