Best Drivers of 2019 | Low Spin & Players' Models

[@dylandavies3634]

Titleist finally getting some love! Seemed as though you didnt love the TS stuff throughout the year but I'm glad you've warmed up to it.

[@davidlewisTN]

TS3 is a winner for me. Best deal now is Mizuno which you can pick up for mid $200s now. Great stuff guys.

[@kcbice]

Love the testing. When I got fitted, I got the best ball speeds off the Callaway and that is what is in my bag. Don't think it will be going anywhere for a while.

[@uwrossl]

TS3 is so good. Hard to believe it could fall into the category of sleeper. It's quick, produces a great ball flight, looks great at set up....and the sound is on point. Always get people asking what driver it is at the range. Was nice to see Matty getting along with it so well!

[@Richsgbox]

Thanks for the recap gents. '19 drivers were exceptional. Big expectations for '20 models.

[@biggregsparks8364]

Yep, can't wait til a 2020 driver that cost 3-400 dollars hits farther by less than the length of my willy. But hey, its not my money. I hit Krank.

[@briancatt7813]

Really liking this series. Thank you very much, fellas.

[@stephendibari7704]

Awesome comparison guys ! Matty is right about least forgiving saying F9 2nd worst. Thats the main reason why I’m swapping out of my F9 and into the G410 plus next spring ! Merry Christmas! And here’s to hitting more fairways in 2020 with my G410 plus !

[@parnopsiripornpak428]

I used to bag G400 LST but now in love with ST180, just love the blue crown. In the end, I guess it's really up to personal preference. Fantastic job as always guys, love all your videos.

[@j.a.y6802]

Congrats on the 10,000 " for sure" on the channel, merry christmas txg

[@fritoboat13]

Amazing information. Such a great combination of practical information based on sales and a year's worth of fittings, and dry data from the Matty Machine.

[@bryceboring2615]

Love the video. I'm a couple mph slower than Matty but a lot higher spin so this video is perfect going into my driver fitting this weekend. If y'all are ever in Austin, I'd love to meet you.

[@claytonjohnston25]

Great job this year with the videos guys! Tons of information to soak up!

[@rdickens1]

Great video! Awesome to see unbiased reviews.

[@darrenbell6376]

Great test having gamed the flash and recently tried the f9 i have gone with the g410 due to forgiveness, ball speed and accuracy. I haven't played a more user friendly driver in my golfing years it's an outstanding driver and will be in my bag for years to come I'm sure.

[@flyer737sw]

Well done boys. I love my TS3. All the guys at the local club champion fitting center game it. Ping looks solid as well. Just don’t care for the look

[@joelforthuber2010]

Will low spinner aid in snap hooking most of my drives? Even when I manage a baby cut and some hang time it starts high and hot but I drops out of nowhere. Hitting the ping g lst set at 8.5 with tour stiff shaft. Something like 60 grams. My swing tempo is quick to fast. Seeing driver swing speeds 115 to 110, should I be considering and x shaft

[@coegj]

Just another note for and about low spin drivers and old people, several weeks ago I picked up off eBay at a decent price a very good condition Mizuno st180 with a Tensei CK Blue 60 gram shaft, a shaft which I'm very familiar with and like. I only had a chance to hit it on our driving range two different days before the weather turned bad and the course closed, no matter what setting I had it adjusted to I could not get it into the air and fly, that driver head for me just sent the ball up in the air slightly and it just fell out of the sky and went no where. Hmmmmm, then I would hit my driver and hit it very well and quite far, for me. Lesson learned for me, or maybe other old people, stay away from low spin drivers. Just saying, thanks guys very good video are usual. PS I will get this driver into the hands of a younger player with more swing speed than me, next spring.

[@austinlauer1910]

Great guys 👍 did Ian give a secret away with some vertical technology?

[@TheMuffs2004]

Austin Lauer Beat driver of the last 10 years, at least for me, was the 2014 Big Bertha Alpha where you could change the vertical CG independent from left to right.

[@markboreham5258]

Picked up a TM M5 at Golftown on Black Friday for $399...what a steal!

[@pbcunha1]

Interesting... Tested out the Epic and TS3 multiple times this year before pulling the trigger on the Epic because it was more forgiving in the numbers and slightly faster (wanted to walk out with TS). Just goes to show how important the fitting experience is.

[@boostmecoupeup]

You need to break the UK.. and set up a TXG fitting centre.. i would happily invest.

[@justinstephenson9360]

Try Precision Golf - not quite up to TXG but pretty close. Really enjoyed my experience with them and they didn't try to sell me something if they didn't think it was any better than my current set up

[@gimbalair]

Justin Stephenson then there’s Tour X Golf at Wigan, Nick Hibbs is the ex Adams tour bus fitter. Golf porn when you go there.

[@Raymond-sj7cn]

Since I started playing golf in 2010 I bought a new driver every year but this looks like the first time the TS3 driver will also be there in the 2020 season😱 ...very good performance, enough distance but also a lot of fairways and that is even better👍🏽 But also liked the Mizuno St190 and the Ping G410 LST

[@TheOgieone]

Great vid! Mizuno really surprised me....Very decent.

[@frankyang7958]

C’mon Matty.... Ping sounds and feels best. Sorry, didn’t mean to lose my mind there 🤣😂🤣😂

[@bobbyg15]

Such a great year for drivers, and having followed all your guys' reviews this year...if each of the clubs in the video was hit in its "fitting" configuration for Matty, the numbers might be a complete toss up. I think most of us remember him hitting 184+ with the F9 in a slightly different setup! With the right fitting, this year someone can really choose the one they prefer without leaving performance on the table.

[@RayH40]

It’s funny how you see all of the new tech that brands have advertised this past year. Only to have Ping, who just had moveable weights for the first time in their driver, to be a front runner on ball speed and ball speed retention across the face. Seems like Ping is ahead of the pack on where the market is, even while flying under the radar for the general golf population

[@stephendibari7704]

Exactly why ill be swapping out my F9 head for a G410 Plus next spring ! F9 was too erratic with spin and not very forgiving with the 14 gr. Weight forward. I’d hit a great drive of 265-270, than what felt like a solid hit would ballon and lucky i get 230 yards ! LOve the sound/feel of the F9 but the erratic spin and less forgiving head has me jumping ship ! I’ll be doing the same for the 3 & 4 woods and 3H & 4H also. F9 hybrids have glued hosels which aren’t helping my miss left. No flat lie settings on the F9 fairways either , just another reason to swap out with Ping G410’s !

[@glennsmith7897]

Just goes to show how individual each persons swing is. I hit all of those and got the best numbers from the Epic Flash Subzero which is now in my bag

[@chrissolorzano1662]

I hear Ping is coming out with a new driver 2020. It’s a little off of what they normally do but that’s what I heard through the grapevine.

[@scotthunt6569]

You guys are ridiculous, you didn’t pick my favorite driver! Just kidding, love the content. You teased us with saying you’re planning a test of the Bridgestone Tour B X. Is this still happening? Thanks, keep up the good work.

[@tylerbone3358]

Love the video as always! Curious, why wasn’t TS4 used instead? I game the TS4 and love it!

[@ykhwaz]

love the vids you guys do. just a quick question, do you ever see a player who needs more spin on their driver? how common/uncommon is that?

[@bmathis26]

A huge part of driver value to me is the stock shaft offering and what they charge for exotics... to me when cobra offers the Atoms TS line and Calloway charges $250 for the shaft makes it tough... to me the best value is the TS2/3 Cobra and one that was not in here and that’s the Srixon 785.

[@ScratchArkkitehti]

omg I need this! 15* launch. ..and almost all off the rack spin 2500.

[@fergusreeverealestate.7409]

I had a g400 lst and loved it- swore I wouldn’t change. Then the hosel cracked and shop gave me a refund/gift card so I went to replace it with another 400 lst or 410.... but while there I tested out a few to be sure .... and it turned out to be the st190 was the winner! Slightly more consistent dispersion and on average a couple yards longer with a slightly lower trajectory. Very stable feeling as well. Also I thought the st190 looked a little nicer and sounded WAY nicer. Also it was a bargain which is nice! Ended up getting the st190 with kuro kage S silver shaft. Final point though, the epic flash sz gave me my longest shots by quite some distance... a good 10 yards extra carry on my best hits. Low spinning, massive bomb balls that made me feel great. But then bad hits with it were appalling! No way I could game it consistently at this point!

[@whiskerrub]

There’s one thing you can always count on from these boys when they upload a video, they always “engage” the viewer. If I could ask Ian a question don’t you feel fortunate to have found such a Prince Charming in Matty, study say all lefties are you know. 👍😉💍 🤵 👰 🎩 💒 #txgfamily

[@hbyrdut]

Do you have the head weights of the clubs tested? If not easy to get don't worry about it.

[@dimemmo]

Callaway maverick is next but only to replace the rogue I wouldn’t expect price drops in flash

[@mitchxdpg]

Callaway MAVRIK* Black and Orange

[@claytontylergolf6081]

Thought callaway’s next one was the Maverick?

[@paulbown3960]

Did you guys fit many people into the Taylormade original one mini driver?

[@randyhughes6851]

I was a little disappointed that you guys never gave the TOUR EDGE EXOTICS EXS driver a better look after it compared very well against a fitted epic flash driver. at $299(US$) and the fact that you could have any shaft they offered in the CBX line upgrade at no upcharge . The EXS is one of the top drivers made. Way better than my M1 430 and I thought nothing would replace it.

[@timbuma3693]

Ian is the m5 in your bag?

[@asdfkhieee]

Why the st190 and not the st190G which is the low spin model?

[@ljigga]

St 190G only comes RH

[@B-man87]

For the st190 driver couldnt you use a 10.5* head and close the face to bring th loft down and move the start line in order to reduce its fade tendency???

[@zacharymilos392]

Wouldn't mind seeing Matty get fit for a little bit higher lofted ST 190, that club is a real sleeper if you ask me. Gotta give props to Titleist this year for bringing out a winner in TS3. I don't love the crown either... a little too "old school" for a millennial like me ;)

[@joelforthuber2010]

Mizuno needs to keep on pumping out sweet drivers. Nobody wants them so buying them just 1 year past the launch puts a beast in your hands at 50% off.

[@mangelarsson7774]

Just curious, did you test the F9 with some weight added to the head? And if you loft up, say 2 degrees, how much more spin would you expect, as a general rule?

[@user-fn3zh8nw4f]

9 months ago you made a comparison , TS3 vs F9 both with Accra TZ6 and F9 was better for ball speed carry and total on average .

[@JYFilms]

curious why the low spin M5 Tour wasnt tested in this...its specifically designed for extreme low spin

[@robbiles]

I thought Matt was a player. How could he not pick the same ones I did for look, sound, feel, speed, consistency, value, accuracy etc, etc, etc.

[@d3extreme]

any experience testing TM m5 vs m5 tour???

[@edchiao]

Why aren't club-fitters able to sell just the driver head only, at a discount to MSRP (ie no stock shaft)? I always find it strange that the customer pays for the full MSRP of the club, but when getting a custom shaft, there is no credit for fore-going the stock shaft?

[@robgom777]

Did you all ever test the Callaway Epic Flash Sub Zero Triple Diamond?

[@rufussthoo4083]

Hey guys, is there an 'ideal' shaft that matches the characteristics of a head better than another shaft? Does that play a factor in choosing a shaft vs merely picking a shaft for the player? Is that something you can test?

[@josephscherer729]

Hey guys I asked on another video but just curious I swing a lot like matt but I struggle with fades... is there a better players lower spin driver that you found to be more draw biased? Heard you say the ST190 very fade biased, which is unfortunately what I got fit for and it is a serious struggle.

[@clubchampionmedia]

Honma TW747 we found to be somewhat draw biased through lie angle

[@sumorich1978]

This demonstrates this importance of getting fit every two months. The Cobra once performed much better on low strikes than Matt's Ping and was referred to as the low strike king. Now the Cobra is all over the place low and high. Interesting...

[@JJ-lm4pg]

I have seen the new TM driver, basically it looks as if Sldr, Cobra f9 & M6 had a baby.

[@davecarrcou]

How does the new RBZ driver (for low budget) compare?

[@daylenmann1322]

I’m just wondering why the ts3 instead of the ts4?

[@brandonlambert1586]

What would you recommend for someone who like a 420cc head with more heel weighting?

[@tkomow2]

Best deal by a mile... Mizuno! $250 US right now!

[@vinceryoung1216]

TS most played on tour!

[@waitingforanalibi3069]

Can we see your club head speed?

[@nickprafke6664]

Why the TS3 over the TS4?

[@danielwinterbottom5531]

How do you define who would be better for low spin driver

[@En5an3]

Ian lookin like a legend with that facial hair goin

[@jackhenderson9798]

Don’t like Green does that mean your a rangers man Ian ?

[@rbs14kouki]

I would of loved a g410 but they were to expensive where im located . I scored a cobra f9 for 400$can shiped to my house i went with that . All the other drivers where 650+$ :/ Lets hope i like my f9

[@Omnis2]

The extra button poking out on Ian's fully buttoned shirt is making me extremely nervous.

[@kennethprince8857]

Yea - button malfunction. But love the look of that GG Polo

[@NomadJoe0323]

I feel like Matt is ready to cheat on his ping driver with the M5 or TS3

[@BryanD5571]

I think I may know why Ian doesn't like green and this past Sunday may well have been a sore one!

[@reidbrian08]

I watch other people hit golf balls into a screen??

[@Borkybaby]

M5 already won this sorry not sorry
