BEST GOLF DRIVERS OF 2023: THE MOST COMPREHENSIVE DRIVER TEST IN GOLF

[@mygolfspyvideos]

WHAT DRIVER ARE YOU LOOKING FORWARD TO TRYING OUT THIS SEASON? 💬⬇

[@paweslusarczyk1056]

the G425 Max, having already tried the G430

[@butchtaylor5086]

PXG 0311

[@dickbroomer7877]

Hi just got the new TSR1 👍& loving the extra performance over All other Drivers tested Para/dym, Ping G430 Max& HL, TaylorMade Stealth 2 HD, my swing speed increase from 77 to 81mph and Distance increased from 195yds to 210yds Total (didn’t see your 80mph results) Think the TSR1 would come out Best (it did for me) Thanks Dickey 9hcp 76year senior golfer UK

[@bryanlemontm]

Stealth 2 for sure. I have the Cobra LTDX. It’s a spinny head for me so I’m going to switch to LS model or the S2.

[@Justwanthavefun_100]

I tried all new drivers and Paradym TD is more stricter dispersion and lower spins .

[@j.christianlarsen8587]

I'm excited to buy a new Cobra Areojet next March for $250...

[@Leftylobber]

Just do it now. Its a homing missile

[@conner_productions]

@@Leftylobber so are last years models, which is his point

[@Leftylobber]

@@conner_productions well when I add 22yd from my fitted Radspeed and LTDx was 5yds shorter than that, "heres your sign"

[@ciarancummins7]

Got an LTDx LS for €230. So good to wait.

[@conner_productions]

@@Leftylobber Yeah I aint spending 600 bucks for 5 yards when I'm not a professional golfer

[@nicknick6788]

Thanks for crunching all the numbers. Would your recommendations change significantly if you filtered your data for slower swing speeds only? For example your top distance drivers seem to be low spin models which I assume maybe weren't the best for

[@JRock4572001]

Just got the Cobra Aerojet LS and it is an absolute rocket ship for me. Took the MyGolfSpy report and gave it a try and it gave me the best numbers.

[@jerryjohnson9531]

How is it for accuracy? I used to love low-spin drivers but don't know if my swing speed is high enough to use one well.

[@reidbrian08]

Love the format and the way Adam explained all the scoring.

[@mygolfspyvideos]

Thanks Reggie!

[@herbpalmer7501]

The driver I am most likely to purchase is the Stealth 2 Plus. Hit it the other day and loved it. I am 69 yrs. old with about 95 mph swing speed and an 8 handicap. Your driver comparison was awesome and validated my choice. Thank you.

[@GOLFADDICT65]

great to hear... i am trying to decide between the Stealth 2 plus and the Stealth 2 standard.....I'm 58 with a 90-95 mph swing speed... a 8 handicap also....but was told a stealth plus might be better for swing speeds of 105 mph or more.....so your very happy with your choice ? good distance and forgiving ? now i am pondering the plus....lol.....cheers from Canada

[@jakefairbanks]

Just snagged a Ping G425 Max for $399, and I LOVE it

[@hawkey100]

Funny, I went for a fitting this morning not knowing what or if i'd buy a new driver but after testing the Titleist TSR2, Callaway Paradym Ping G430 LST and the Cobra Aerojet LS all at 9 degrees , I bought the Cobra because it was clearly better than the others . Then I get home and see this video and happy to see these results and that I made the right decision

[@pickitupgolf276]

The Tour Edge this year actually pretty nice, so too the Srixon I thought both of last year's models looked cheap, these 2 are great looking clubs

[@hudsonkiyonaga]

I was fitted yesterday, ended up with the tsr3, felt so solid, great ball flight and very forgiving.

[@seanarmao7385]

I have a cobra f9 and am thinking about getting the TSI3

[@suttermark34]

I got fitted this year and came out with a TSR3, couldn't have been happier

[@mangowett9967]

Let’s go!!! Can’t wait for the ball test for 23

[@mygolfspyvideos]

We can’t wait to get the results of that one!

[@vincekarumba545]

Awesome Review ... Detailed and Precise to guide on the Driver one is looking for!!!

[@ryanjohnston1478]

Looks like the G425 is staying in the bag for another year. 9th overall for a driver 2 years old now is very impressive

[@willuexwilluex6241]

Jaw dropping video. Thanks MGS!

[@oreoblizzmaniacyt6244]

Just got the ping g430 lst, got fitted and everything. Was the best for me and my swing. While these are good numbers still go in and get fitted don’t just buy a club based on this.

[@jvelez1998]

I love my TSR3. Best offering Titleist has ever released. Not for everyone but an absolute ball speed machine if you can move it. 🙌🙌🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@rudog427]

I have heard that the stealth plus 2 is much more forgiving then the stealth plus one. So I may try that out.

[@braga786]

I still game my Cobra F9 and still outdrive guys with callaway paradym taylormade 😂.. I got fitted with the great shaft. I won't trade my driver yet as it still outdrive the latest driver and it not broken yet 😂

[@Nathan_Duran]

Thanks for all the info!

[@daydr3amscr3am42]

I think #10 was supposed to be Ping G430 LST, not SFT.

[@RansomGetty]

yeah, would love @mygolfspy to clarify what model that is

[@manuelhernandez9448]

I was looking at the comments for exactly that! SFT twice is really confusing.

[@badbilly429]

Most underrated channel on KZbin let’s get these guys to a million subscribers where they belong!

[@mygolfspyvideos]

Hey Billy! Thanks so much - we're happy you're here. And hopefully a part of the million one day 😉

[@KyKicks23]

TSR2 wasn’t up there but I love that driver. Works for me.

[@outlawskin]

i currently play the M5 , previously the M1 .. have been leaning towards the paradym this year . .. i was going to test them anyways ... but may be leaning to the stealth 2 plus now .. hmmm . well hell . lol . thanks for the info

[@herbpalmer7501]

I like the adjustability of the Stealth 2 Plus with the movable weight in the bottom of the club. for my less than 100 or 105 swing speed I think I will look at a slightly softer shaft, as I am right on the reg./stiff line. I will figure it out at my next fitting in a couple of weeks.They may recommend the standard Stealth, but can't wait for the fitting at Club Champion later this month!

[@ariesnc6320]

My driver is 5 years old. Hitting a Srixon Z785 . I’ve been considering the TSR 3, Mizuno ST 230 Z, or a new Srixon.

[@toryeschenk-jc7ts]

Was the Ping G 430 LST in the testing?

[@kevinpogue673]

Very well done! One of the best product videos I’ve seen non biased. I subscribed because this video was really informative. Thanks you saved me $600 too😂

[@mygolfspyvideos]

Great to hear Kevin!

[@blaw9571]

As a slicer the ping g430 SFT has helped fix my slice big time

[@Metroidam11]

Best golf review channel on KZbin. Hands down

[@Al-oy3pk]

Great vid thanks, awesome insight

[@mygolfspyvideos]

You got it!

[@michaelford4794]

Keep in mind in most cases for a low handicap player, you're talking less than 2 or 3 yards total in distance with the top five drivers. Accuracy might be a better measuring stick!

[@tacticalnuggets4464]

Don’t get me started on the new Taylormade “Fargiveness” bullshit. I’ve tested the new Stealth and it’s terrible compared to the Paradym

[@harrisonkoff8805]

Most comprehensive driver video yet. Love it

[@WeimaranersAreTheBest]

ping lst 430 was best for me in numerous fittings. 106-120 mph SP...did u guys test the lst?? saw max and sft mentioned a lot, lst not once

[@RKCHUX]

Great video. Thoroughly enjoyed it. But why didn't u guys not include Cleveland?

[@sevesellors2831]

Great review can’t wait for the irons! Tested the G430, will be testing the Callaway and Taylormade range so hope by June to make a decision. Here in the UK brands such as Cobra, Wilson, Srixon, Cleveland and even Mizuno not so many stockists and places to test them, a great shame so the big four dominate.

[@Arminian100]

Wish you'd have included the PXG Gen6. Early testing numbers I've seen on it look very promising

[@kevinmccabe7930]

I was looking forward to the Cobra LS and the triple diamond Now the Srixon MK LS 5 is on my radar Thanks

[@e.davidjohnson2797]

In the Driver test for distance why was the Cobra LTDX LS omitted since you put in Ping's G425?

[@raymondlim4176]

Hi, I think there is a typo for Distance ranking. Rank no.10 should be Ping G430 LST, instead of G430 SFT.

[@imCurveee]

Been a huge fan of my Stealth2 plus so far this year. Love the adjustability and it feels and sounds great.

[@3ARCBA]

Stealth 2 plus got SUPER spinny for me, I bought into the normal Stealth last year and it was super spinny and unforgiving on mishits. I guess the new guys are a little better but the new Ping G430 LST was a winner for me, kept spin down and SUPER forgiving on mishits. I will say this my clubhead speed was much faster with Stealth and when i DID get it out of the center of the club MY GOD! what a monster it was so hot off the face. In the end though I will sacrifice a few monster drives for a LOT more FIRs.

[@ajopson2]

I purchased the PXG 0311 XF Gen 5 and it has added about 15 yds and improved my accuracy by about ~5% (fairways hit according to The Grint app). The biggest difference in my opinion was that it was the first new driver I purchased and had it fitted. As of today, I'm a 8.8 hcp who plays once a week.

[@mygolfspyvideos]

Love to hear you found a driver that is working for you!

[@e.davidjohnson2797]

Great video, you guys killed it. Keep them coming awesome!!!

[@mygolfspyvideos]

Thank you, we appreciate it! Thanks for watching ✌️

[@brianuy2064]

Keep up the good work guys thanks for such a comprehensive review.

[@mygolfspyvideos]

Our pleasure!

[@mygolfspyvideos]

That's what we're here for! Glad you enjoyed it.

[@mmmccc777]

Great review as always - MGS reviews are always well paced & to the point - great work

[@mygolfspyvideos]

Much appreciated!

[@biggregg5]

Very comprehensive! Nice job. I'm guessing you didn't include DTC companies and component companies, right?

[@mygolfspyvideos]

We always try to highlight DTC as much as we can! Performance is key, but we're no stranger to the underdogs!

[@alexchoi2060]

For slower swing players, it has been suggested that we need more high launch/spin to prevent drives or other shots from falling out of the sky (Ballnamic suggested I try the Bridgestone BX and Pro V1x). How does that work with drivers-- i.e, does this mean LS models won't score high for slow swingers (unless you play concrete fairways)?

[@enzy6434]

You absolutely don't want to play a LS driver as someone with slow swing speed. You want to play a full sized 460 cc driver with the weight in the back, not in the front.

[@codycross955]

Amazing, thorough comparison/review. Love you guys!

[@mygolfspyvideos]

Our pleasure!

[@suprand]

I know we are mostly amateurs but it’s interesting that the taylormade pros ditched the stealth 2 for previous versions (Rory and morikawa). But then sheffler wins with it. Amazing

[@lkae4]

I think it's all about how it looks at address because Stealth 2 is objectively more forgiving and Rory is #1 in driving distance this year.

[@paulie7775]

You have the PingG430 SFT at tenth and thirtieth place in the distance catagory, unless I'm missing something. Probably a typo. Give Ping some love!

[@schuylercollier]

is there downloadable data available? i've seen the tableau tables on the site but i'm looking for the crosstab format so i can run some data trends and tests with some software I'm playing with

[@alvermeil5884]

Thank you, very informative and helpful information. You guys are the best.

[@mygolfspyvideos]

Our pleasure!

[@gregmcintosh815]

What a GREAT!!!! Review and thanks!!!

[@putt4par77]

The Paradym driver was the best option for me the club is awesome !!

[@robbotronomer]

With PXG releasing a new driver at the end of the month will you guys add it into the listing?

[@GOLFADDICT65]

QUESTION : i am 58 with a swing speed of 90-95 mph.... 8 handicap its a fairly high straight ball... would i fit into the Stealth 2 plus or the standard Stealth 2 ?....having a tough time deciding....i am unable to hit them so i am having to order online....i know the shaft that was fitted for me last year....thx.....cheers from Canada

[@justinl9723]

Leaving a comment to help. Great review video

[@mygolfspyvideos]

Much appreciated

[@deandesrosiers6857]

Damn, you guys are amazing at this. Thanks!

[@kc_was_here737]

Surprised at the low overall score on the Paradym. Just about every other review I've seen gave it a great overall score, minus the price. Wonder if price affected reviewers bias.

[@Drizlye]

G425 max might be the goat driver. Easily keeping up with drivers twice the price and 2 years newer tech. Straightest driver of all time. Best fairway finder going

[@bigjohny8446]

Most wanted in the 2nd hand market next year for half the price

[@johnathanmartishius7043]

@mygolfspyvideos What is the difference between forgiveness testing and accuracy testing? Seem like they are the same thing on the golf course?

[@jamespaterson4822]

Is the ping SFT that is number 10 in distance meant to be the LST?

[@mygolfspyvideos]

Apologies for the typo, but coming in 10th is the G430 LST. The SFT is last in 30th 👍

[@zipsman03]

I'm rockin the 2022 Stealth plus, no need to upgrade, but the Ping 425 max may find away to my house, if the price is right. BTW, I tell everyone I know that golfs to watch your content.

[@putt4par77]

Low spin drivers usually are for low handicap golfers. That applies to about 15% of the clients

[@steventsimtsos4029]

Definitely and serious swing speed is needed to get the most out of a low spin driver.

[@lkae4]

Got a TSr3 last fall. Love it but the Paradym TD is seriously low spin. I can pair it with more golf balls than just Left Dash.

[@daylenmann1322]

Was the callaway Paradym triple diamond tested with heavy weight forward, back, or both?

[@wks4511]

Good breakdown. A lot of interesting information provided.

[@mygolfspyvideos]

Glad it was helpful!

[@dunbarcustomsound]

I’m playing the Nardo Grey 2018 cobra F8 plus (440 cc head with low spin weight 12g in front) … with it being more than five years old now I’m wondering if I will see significant gains in distance. My average is around 248 and my longest I’ve ever hit it is 281 with rollout. Is it worth the potential gains?

[@ssc00p]

You go to a fitter to find out... duh...

[@michaelmorrison009]

Why are the tour players not getting along with the stealth 2 +?

[@ryang1910]

I own tsr3. I also own stealth, and cobra ltdx LS. I’m out of the driver market. If I did, I would just swap out last years stealth for this years. If last years was forgiving, I would never have gotten any other new drivers

[@PS-le7ge]

was every driver adjusted to fit every tester each time? or were they neutral settings across the board for comparison purposes? I can see the benefits of both, with the former determining that the “longest” driver really means the one that can be best tuned to meet the needs of the widest range of golfers, while the latter suggests an apples to apples comparison. my guess is that each driver was tuned to each tester given the more adjustable models (eg stealth+ and tsr3) beat out the less adjustable models (stealth and tsr2) but was curious as to what actually happened. great test in any event!

[@jerryjohnson9531]

That is a very good question. I would assume that they fitted them with the best stock options for that particular driver.

[@barryjones3988]

How did the Ping G430 SFT get into 10th and 30th place for distance??

[@TheColbyWatson]

Question, at 5:31 is #10 a typo? I’d assume that’s supposed to be the Ping G430 LST instead… since the Ping G430 SFT was supposed to be in last place at #30 on the distance ranking.

[@mygolfspyvideos]

That's correct! We had a typo slip through the cracks 😚 Thanks for watching!

[@Tomshanksit]

Any breakdown by swing speed? No other test I have seen has the Stealth 2 ahead of Triple D Paradym for higher swing speed players as it has such low spin... similarly no other test has the Cobra above any of the Taylormade/Callaway/Titleist offerings... are you able to breakdown for those above 105/110mph?

[@mygolfspyvideos]

Coming soon!

[@mygolfspyvideos]

No other test this comprehensive ;)

[@mygolfspyvideos]

Absolutely! We will be breaking them down by swing speed in the coming weeks.

[@Tomshanksit]

@@mygolfspyvideos Looking forwards to this... killing it as always guys!

[@mikeb3835]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/m2qbdZyHZ99rZ80 You must have missed this one.

[@edf9992]

Well done!

[@mygolfspyvideos]

👊🏼

[@sterlingrice8662]

Why were the Cleveland drivers not included? Lack of adjustability?

[@michaelsharkey4255]

Is the TSR3 for low handicap players? If the TSR2 is in the same family why did it score lower? I believe that model is targeted for high handicap players.

[@ianhardestygolf]

Why is the Ping g430 sft on there twice? If you look in the distance category, it's number 10 and 30...did you mean LST as number 10?

[@mygolfspyvideos]

Yes! Sorry for the small typo, LST is #10 for distance 👍

[@jasonmaestre1355]

I tested drivers earlier this year and the taylormade did not perform as well as some of the others. I tested the Aerojet, stealth 2 plus , callaway triple diamond . titleist tsr 3 , and ping g430 . I went with the triple diamond .

[@tacticalnuggets4464]

Same results here. The stealth 2 was terrible compared to my testing of paradym, TSR2 and Ping. I Ended up getting the base paradym model. These guys were obviously paid by Taylormade to advertise their “Fargiveness” bs 😂

[@billmills4040]

Awesome video!!!

[@mygolfspyvideos]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@caintiger]

I got the cobra ltdx ls last yr….custom shaft and it was over $100 cheaper than TM, Callaway Titleist, etc… and it easily added 20yds to my game, helped to knock off 4 strokes at least, and helped me to score my first 4 sub par rounds… 2 70’s and a 69 and 68. Easily the best driver for the money…Aerojet will be the same though I won’t buy it cuz my ltdx ls is sill only 1yr old….and I bought a 2nd one cuz it was so damn awesome just in case something happened to my first one

[@thomasblock1164]

I know this is an old post but congratulations on those nice scores. Merry Christmas!

[@billmills4040]

What would happen if you took a SFT driver and lofted it down?

[@jamescarl8156]

I play the g425 sft at 9.5°. It definitely spins more than I like but keeps me in the fairways. I’m a high swing speed player and Arccos has me at 293 average.

[@laronda10]

missing is best adjustability, i think thats why titilest won the players choice. not sure how no one has caught up to them over the years in that department they've had a the best sleeves in the game for almost a decade now

[@pauldavis5857]

I had already purchased the TSR3 but was looking for what driver to test it against. Look as like it will be the Steath 2+ . Thanks for another great driver Test!

[@pmay6498]

It's not the plunger but rather the plumber. So many opinions on what is best considering drivers have not changed much in the past 7-10 years. Find the right shaft for you along with the right driver loft. Once you get that right, you can use any driver head you want.

[@No_Fear_33]

No Mizuno? And the Ping 430LST is way way better on almost every reviewer testing this then you have it ranked here.

[@edgewizz862]

It's all about color for me lol and since red is my favorite color I know which one I'm getting haha.

[@DewittOralee]

The ZX5 LS is my favorite so far this year. I hit the ball high with a lot of spin and that thing she's what it says it'll do and it's 50 to 100 dollars less than most of the competition.

[@Golfzilla70]

Just for argument's sake: When these thin-face titanium drivers get some use, don't they become a bit more "springy", meaning their distance actually goes up slightly the more they're used? And if that's the case, and you have a 3-5 year old driver that isn't broken, it may very well be longer than the brand new stuff today (of course it could break at any time, too).

[@therealseankemp]

The Ping g430 SFT came in 10th and 30th in the driver distances?!

[@wardman7655]

TSR4 excellent!

[@tomk9894]

You list Ping G430 SFT twice, 10th and then 30th for distance. Which is it?

[@PJo336]

im guessing 10th they meant LST and messed up

[@nosajamzok]

The LST was probably 10th..

[@coachanderson2704]

Taylormade Stealth 2 for most distance gain!

[@hurpaderpp]

did you test the g430 lst

[@myopenmind527]

Interesting, I use a Mizuno 230z. In my hands it’s the longest and most accurate driver that I have ever used. It’s funny how statistics works. I must be quite an outlier.

[@MarioMalin]

A guy I played with was demoing the TSR3, I play a TSi3. I hit a really good drive with a total distance of 275 yds and then I asked to hit the demo TSR3. I blew it past my first one by 25 yds, same swing, contact, and ball flight. I was shocked how much farther it went, now left trying to justify spending the money to replace my driver that is less than 2 years old 🤣🤣

[@tzeboss8354]

Last year you factored in forgiveness. Did you not include this on 2023. Example last year stealth + was really low rated for forgiveness. For average golfers you would think this is very important.
