Build My Bag Showdown | NEVER hit so many drives 320+ | TaylorMade SIM vs Titleist TS3

[@golfdaddy970]

Before I’ve even watched this. I can tell you’ve made your mind up and want the sim

[@dochollywood79]

Same here

[@Pxgamer721]

Wanted

[@kal-elcota2474]

100% the TS3 was consistent 330+ also he’s decked out in Adidas clothing who is teamed with Taylormade. He hit the TS3 maybe 3 or 4 times and then move onto the SIM and hit 6 or 7 shots. I don’t know if this was a fair comparison

[@vinayyerramsetti304]

Kal-El Cota Adidas Taylormade partnership isn’t one anymore but I thought it was pretty fair

[@MrTaggeN99]

Looking at Peter's swing thinking "damn really need to get that squat and turn rotation into my drives properly..." awesome work as always!

[@TigerWoodard]

Using a m5 tour and I love it when I hit it well. Ur a amazing driver of the ball. Quest for 370+ drives I'd love to see you try. God bless you Petey Finch

[@healz8284]

The music, editing and energy of these videos are amazing

[@mattsmith-bl2bg]

The governments should give everyone golf simulators instead of money!

[@jamesrolley6511]

I had a completely un-biased fitting. And ended up with the sim. Straight to the range when it arrived and managed one round before dooms day. LOVE IT! It was a massive upgrade for me, as I was using an original nike Sasquatch! Sound, feel, dispersion and the distance. Amazing! Thanks for getting content out still. Keep safe and good luck when we get back out!

[@alexandervillani2801]

Currently using the 2017 version of the M1 and I absolutely love it!! I can’t wait for this pandemic to be over so I can get back to working on my game. Great video Pete as always!

[@chrisviducich2062]

Welcome to the SIM Squad Pete 🙌🏻🏌🏼‍♂️

[@bennymckinney4395]

Just got the cobra speed zone extreme at Christmas. With no warm up on the first tee at rolling green golf club I hit 286 carry total distance of 305. At four weeks away from my 64th birthday I’ll take that. Great video keep them coming.

[@billglab9044]

Pete, seeing you do the super flare with the lead foot, and doing it myself has REALLY helped me! Catching it much more solid through the bag. Thanks M8!!!

[@jeffsmith825]

Personally, I would go with what gives you confidence over the ball. I play the TS2, although I've tested the Maverick and SIM and both were fine, because the head shape gives me so much conviction over the ball.

[@elijahnagel5399]

Pete! With consistent 330 drives you're driving the green on most par 4s at my home course!😳

[@brewssssss_]

SIMs BACK! Can’t wait for that fitting to see how great it really can be

[@peterfinchgolf]

Bryce Larson if they can squeeze any more out of it then awesome!

[@brewssssss_]

Peter Finch Golf personally as a fitter myself I’d try to find something dispersion wise. You don’t need distance help ahaha #353

[@patrickhandyside9490]

Thank you for making an awesome video that helped me make a new driver decision myself. I had a very similar experience with a new driver just today. I had been using an older Taylormade Tour Burner and was still able to hit it quite well. Not anywhere near what you can hit but I was pleased with it. After having watched your video on the driver tests and also some others I decided to take the plunge and purchase last years M6 driver. I hit it today for the first time, and was absolutely shocked at the constant distance I was getting and how much straighter my off center shots were with the twist face and holy crap that speed injected foam is off the hook! I would say I consistently carried the ball 20-30 yards farther with the M6 than I ever have with my previous driver, in fact i don’t think i have ever averaged 230 + yards with any driver i have ever hit. I was fully ready to send it back if I didn’t see any noticeable gains but trust me the M6 is staying in the bag! Now i just need to get a new Winn Dri-tac intermediate grip installed due to my terrible arthritis and I feel like I will hit it even better and more consistent when I am holding the club with the level of grip I am used to.

[@ali4390]

1:56 "Let's just get bashing away". I'm in self isolation, what else is there to do?!

[@peterfinchgolf]

ali4390 I’m glad my vids make you happy...

[@stephenjones8649]

Looks like you're gonna have about 7 wedges in the bag the way you are crushing it. Wow 😮. Good video again Pete 👍

[@jasuancaceres5136]

Wow! It seems like a super powerful driver. Can’t wait to test it out after all this. Super excited for the putter video whenever you it comes out!

[@AsadChinoy]

Enjoying this series Pete! Keep it up.

[@Rich206L]

Congratulations on 250K subscribers, Peter!

[@BennytheMenace]

still batting an old mizuno st 180 that i bought cheap last year, honestly you've made me want to go try out the SIM tho now, thanks very much Pete

[@waynebloss4114]

Cannot wait for the on course test Pete, keep up the good work and stay safe in this crazy world.

[@bogetostart9550]

You were absolutely crushing those golf balls Pete! That Sim is definitely the one for you.

[@eagleeye7068]

I’m a Titleist guy through and through, but it was pretty obvious which one performed best for you during testing. SIM really surprised me on this one. Thanks for the content.

[@williamsanders6092]

Well done! Choosing a drive base on performance is the right thing to do. Really enjoy the Videos. Stay Healthy!!

[@bengrabovic4194]

I think it’s fair to say your swing has changed since your ts3 fitting and having a heavier shaft will definitely knock of some spin, time to get re fitted for the ts3 my friend.

[@thesportscardfam4213]

Absolutely great video. Love that you went back and compared head to head. I may look into it myself. I currently have a G400 LST

[@oliverhetzner9879]

Hey Peter, congrats to the 250' subscribers!

[@acemakerjay]

Good going Pete. Congrats on finding the right stick.

[@johnbush3565]

Just brought home the SIM. Got properly fitted and the SIM was the one for me. I read a lot of reviews, watched a lot of reviews and thought the Ping G410 or Cobra SZ extreme would be best for me. I thought the SIM would be the worst one for me. Boy was I wrong! Took it out and even my mishits we’re carrying past my usual total yards. I’m in love. 100mph draw is my swing. Miss is a hook. Cannot wait to take it out again!

[@mattyjay8883]

Awesome video Pete, stay safe over the pond.

[@bradenludlow6842]

Far out your arms are looking big my guy! Good work Pete!

[@markderby9416]

Great video as always Pete, 👍🏌️‍♂️

[@13AScott09]

Would love to see more of the training regime on how to get to 300 + drives once we are out of isolation haha

[@rossgallacher3341]

I like the fact here, as much as in the last vid you definitely leaned towards the sim. But you really gave the TS3 every chance to succeed here but the Sim number for you were too good. And very stable, when at the 90% swing. It seemed to explode off the face for you. A full fitting might even squeeze an extra 3-5yds there. Nice vid and was glad to see you went back for a in depth test

[@paulduarte2261]

“I cant believe I’m looking at a 330 yard drive like🤷🏻‍♂️... that’s alright”😂

[@camaroboi13]

I’m excited for this new SIM driver... now I might be able to afford an M2 driver. Keep the new ones coming TM, us bottom feeders are loving the brand new 5 year old equipment!

[@crightonm5703]

That’s fantastic driving - very impressive. Thanks for sharing the video

[@treyperry9722]

I still play an original RBZ tour. I demoed an M5 a few months back and the difference was insane. Gonna have to check out the SIM now

[@johnreading3832]

I brought the Cobra S/B Driver last year, was fitted for it at !!American Golf!! But out on the. Course I was hitter my 3 wood longer and straighter so stopped using the Cobra driver, I changed the driver to Taylormade M6 a month ago and the difference is amazing,

[@keithod]

Excellent video Pete!

[@wentzelcloete9919]

Great video love your channel, you and rick really help my golf game

[@golf007sd2]

Both are amazing drivers. I like the sound, look and feel of the TS3. It is overall more "balanced" for me.

[@peterfinchgolf]

golf007sd2 balanced is a good word

[@keithkatz1350]

Pete hate to say it but with your talent I would love to see what the TXG boys would do with a custom fit. Guarantee you center line it with a more consistent carry and roll out. Only so much you can do with those stock shafts. Cheers from sheltered in place in NorCal

[@kvgolfa]

The thing is, GC2 exaggerates distance on those sub 2000 rpm shots. Plug those numbers into Flightscope trajectory optimizer website, and you'll see those drives aren't that far apart. On a side note, I haven't seriously tested drivers in 3 years because I have a King LTD which I get ideal numbers with and has very high MOI for a low spin head, so I knew none of the newer stuff would really improve in any way. But I had the chance to hit the SIM and I experienced the same thing you did. The off center strikes always ended wayyyy better than I expected them. It was wild. I hate spending money on new clubs and always buy after a couple years but I may have to get one

[@jeremypeck8902]

Peter finch that is amazing my friend! 330-350 drives this is video was awesome

[@rodconner9079]

Honestly Peter, this test really shows the differences between the two. The data -- the line, height, spin, and forgiveness on offline hits all show the Sim being the better one for you. The convincing part was when you'd turned both lofts down and head to head (lol - see what happened there :), the Sim proved continued control or repeatability. The Sim came out on top - consistent distance and trajectory... surprising how forgiving it is. Be Safe

[@muffin0079]

I’m so see one want one. Watch txg the other day and thought defo want a mavrik, watched this and now I want a SIM. But most of all I want to be able to play golf again 😭😭😭

[@gibranrizvi1742]

Lol, you're actually audibly winded from trying to murder that ball. Great content Pete!

[@andybeel7003]

Obviously you’ve got a very good idea what you’re specs would be, so I don’t see you gaining any additional distance with a full fitting, although I think dispersion will be VERY good at the end of it 🏌️⛳️🚀 Awesome series buddy 👏👏👏👏

[@doronneuhaus30]

Hey Peter, I recently changed from some new tech into an older driver going from the G410 Plus into the older Taylormade M5 Tour. I used to have the G400LST that was an absolute beast with the Tour 65X. I was about 15 - 20 yards shorter with the G410 than with my old G400 which was also set to 7.5 degrees. A tour pro took a liking to my G400 and gave me his G410 as a swap. Clubhead speed with the M5 is up 3mph, spin is down around 400rpm and I am hitting some bombs. It has the Hzardus Smoke 70 in 6.5. I'll probably look at the SIM and Mavrik in around 12 - 18 months perhaps.

[@markglover7423]

Loving this new series😁

[@kconq9757]

Great video, Pete. After the initial video, I was hoping you’d give the TS3 a proper challenge and you did. Salivating at 353! I hit these brands at AG during their recent event and TS3 was longest for me. If you need a good home for your baby, let me know! Cheers!

[@williamgreen8375]

Used to love TM drivers, then they kept churning a new one out on a really frequent basis. However after watching this video have got to give this a try. Great content as always Peter.

[@raginasianinvasion]

William Green TM has been on the same 12 month release cycle as every other major OEM for years and years. Their marketing is very persistent and can make you think otherwise

[@jackchildree1491]

Also Pete if you decide to do a build my bag for accessories, check out North Coast gloves. Softest glove I’ve felt in my life.

[@ianbellomo8322]

After the 3 wood video I definitely thought you gave the G410 in the running. But you killed the SIM!

[@chadb7947]

Hey Pete! Great Video!! Currently rocking the F9 as I got a massive deal on that and a F9 3W. Loving this build a bag series! Would love to some day maybe meat you and have the honor of playing a round with you!!

[@thierrypilette6841]

Data doesn't lie indeed. Impatient to ser you test that baby on the course. Keep safe! 😊

[@zxgopher]

I couldn’t get past the hitting of the two drivers together. Im weird like that

[@trislee761]

I’ve just been fitted for the sim I can’t wait for all this mess to clear up so it can continue to go through the factory and get finished 🙈

[@Fuentes9075]

Got me a Sim 8.0 degree and was super excited. Didn't hit it consistently and ended up getting an actual fitting. Kept hitting it like shit with insane amounts of spin. Dude brought me a Ping G410, hit it better, but then he brought a TS3...Bombs away. I love Taylormade but this TS3 was the go to to get me on the fairway and save me some shots.

[@ewaz6196]

I changed from the Callaway Rogue last year to the Ping G410 Plus......was VERY happy with my switch. It's a silly thing to say - I know - but the the Taylormade drivers really have never "looked" all that desirable to me. I think the SIM looks 'okay' but I like a nice black matte finish driver......I hope Taylormade might consider this in manufacturing future drivers. Just sayin'......but numbers don't lie - the SIM appears to be the most popular driver of 2020 from what I've seen so far.

[@rossyhead69]

Looking absolutely ripped!

[@mikewaldie2232]

Would love to see these driver comparisons with the same shaft. It is the only fair way to compare.

[@matthewhempstock67]

Love the video Pete. Can’t believe how dominant the Sim was for you! I’ve just been fitted and the Ping G410 Plus came out on top for me! 9 degree loft in the Tour 65 Stiff shaft. Would love to hear your thoughts on this driver! I know Rick liked it! Great videos as always 👍👍🏌🏼‍♂️🏌🏼‍♂️

[@stlc3415]

Need to goto TXG so they can fit you for a proper shaft...the 50g shaft is to light for your swing...keep up the great content 👍🏌️‍♂️

[@CorekBleedingHollow]

Ooof… those heavy pull hooks... bad bad bad!

[@marksweeney2834]

Just received my sim,so first outing tomorrow mate, same shaft as yours only stiff not x 👍

[@davidwalker1943]

My 5 year old picked the SIM. Laughed so much at the club hitting your face and all the “whoop” noises. Great choice. I’m hitting a Callaway Epic Flash. Best driver I’ve hit.

[@bobsmith6370]

Interesting how some people like the look of the Sim, some hate it. Seems like it's gonna be a great driver for you Peter.

[@davidwilson1952]

I was stuck between the SIM and Mavrik standard on numbers. 280 carry on both but less spin and better launch with Mavrik. I agree with you that SIM felt dead of face but the number where different.

[@cameronjames7774]

Love ur content Mr.Finch 👍🏼👍🏼

[@jessewaddell8524]

It would have been really cool to get a similar shaft in each. Tensei Blue I think is designed to be a more mid/mid shaft and the lower weight probably is impacting that too. Pretty similar numbers might have been tightened up even more. I know you were fitted, but that was a long time ago (relatively). Either way, both awesome drivers.

[@gregkilgallen797]

Almost at that 250K!!

[@peterfinchgolf]

Greg Kilgallen getting close

[@jeremypeck8902]

"That didnt feel quite as good..hit it high off the face " It goes 320 yards 😲😲😲😲😆😆😆😆

[@vic888tor]

I was fitted into TS2 with Tensei stiff, most forgiving and longer driver I ever have til I fitted into Sim Max with the Diamana stiff shaft. More forgiving and 10 yards longer. Same as Pete.

[@whitsmith1270]

Pete, you have a super lightweight high spin shaft in the TS3. Put the same shafts with the same tipping in each club and the TS3 wins hands down.

[@blert596]

Why would he put thatsame shaft on the SIM? If it works for the TS3 it probably wont be the perfect fit for the SIM. He's obviously been fitted for the best shaft for the TS3... the real test would be to get fitted correctly for the SIM and then go head to head. A proper fitted shaft could get him an extra 5 yards.

[@whitsmith1270]

blert596 The shaft in the TS3 is a 55 gram made for TITLEIST ck Blue. My point is it spins like a top and the difference in distance is spin related. TS3 is faster ball speed but spins a lot more. I’m assuming he is way faster now then when he was fit in that shaft.

[@blert596]

Hi Whit, yeah I presumed he would be current with his driver shaft, especially after he's changing his swing as well. Point still remains though that he should get optimally fitted for both before going head to head with them. Unrealistic probably but a much fairer measurement. To be honest I'm biased towards the SIM as I just think it looks gorgeous - if it wasn't for this lockdown I have a bad feeling my TM M2 would have been traded in. Never really been keen on my M2 really. When testing I hit a Ping G400 better, but couldn't stand the view looking down at it :-)

[@whitsmith1270]

blert596 on I totally agree with you that the sim is beautiful. Also if it weren’t for the fins on the g410 lst I would game it 100 percent over my TS3.

[@MadRS]

Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome "Two drivers enter, one driver leaves!!!!!"

[@gbouton2011]

Quest for 400! You got it with the SIM

[@trevorhumphries8263]

I play a ts3 with a hzrdus t1100 65 6.5, its the best combo you'll hit, it'll beat the sim any day

[@finanfarrell7928]

What can we do to improve during lockdown

[@14Marleycombe]

About a month ago I was given two Taylor Made TP5 balls with the triangle design to try out by a local retailer. My ball of choice is the Titleist Pro V1 and quickly I came to the realisation that the Taylor Made is considerably shorter off the tee with my Titleist TS3 Driver. It has a very clicky sound off contact with the clubface and even putter for that matter, it does surprisingly stop quickly around the greens, but for feel compared to a Pro V1 it is a rock, just nothing. Anyway having gone back to the Pro V1 I just think that if you really wanted to see performance out of a Driver Test, you should have gone with the ball that optimises rather than performs like a slug.

[@thzegerman]

How much would the performance improve if you’d get the Sim fitted as well? Kinda new to golf so I’m curious about improvement when fitting clubs

[@AlexNblue]

Saying this mid video, I’m not a massive TM fan but honestly you need that driver in your bag it’s a monster!!!

[@seanclarke4125]

Great video, i will be looking at sim to replace my cobra if i get similar results.

[@2009Stefon]

Maybe do a TXG style battle. Total distance of 10 drives that hit fairway (pick a hole on simulator) then minus the offline of each off then divide by 10 to give your average drive distance. Would give you your most accurate and longest driver.

[@samgrace12020]

Can’t wait to see the putter end of tbis

[@Jagman229]

Gaming Cobra f9 with Atmos black 7X best driver at my fitting. Ping G400 LST was a close second though.

[@mmeddings5980]

Love your videos, big fan! But would love to see these head to heads in the same shaft

[@23nunny]

PUMMELED, Like the Tees on the Floor , Tee Shattered ,great driving

[@_Will919]

Based on this specific test, were I in your shoes, I'd keep the TS3. My opinion is that 4.6 yards of carry difference is borderline negligible and total distance is (in my opinion) a pointless stat to consider when testing indoors. For my money, the TS3 has a slightly tighter dispersion and that would be the selling point. Personally I play the Cobra F9 that I won off a buddy of mine. I slapped it on my old shaft that had an F7 adapter, so I don't even know what loft I'm playing. It's been working great though so I'm not going to question it.

[@ryanlaii443]

Have u consider aftermarket shafts??? I had the TM Tensei CK Pro Orange but it is so different from the aftermarket one. The aftermarket one is a Monster and the TM one is soft. Fyi, both were 60g D S Flex

[@kevinvassago]

TS series for the win mate. Best Titleist fairway wood ever made too. Best fairway wood in general imo

[@onioni03]

You should have gotten the heavier Tensei Blue to come a lil closer to the Diamana Black. The lighter weight may have been the cause of the extra spin and loss of distance. Epic strikes tho Pete!

[@dougiefarquharson438]

Using ping G and really working on swing path and speed during isolation .Thinking bout getting fit for driver once world reset is over...

[@golf_is_a_happy_place9990]

Still with M6, and unless Taylormade want to sponsor me, I'll be rocking this for a few years...

[@chipper1069x]

I have the SIM and love it. It’s a great driver... but you really should have tried the Mizuno ST200G in your driver battle the other day. With your love for the irons ( I have the same combo set you just bought) the 200G performed better for me than the SIM Only reason I went with the SIM is bc of the 150% trade in value and i had 4 shafts with TM tips from playing TM drivers for 10 years

[@000ptimus]

I play the Cobra F8. Works a hell of a lot better than my old Taylor Made R11 that I had before. So I'm not looking for a change anytime soon. ⛳

[@johnsundet5919]

What was the club head speed for the 353 drive?

[@maamold]

I own a Fitted TS3 and I was just fitting for a SIM. I feel the same way about the speed on of center hits with the SIM they just seem to go where the TS3 hit's that are off-center seems to ... not go.

[@JPMoon]

ooo yes!!! big bombs, that face shot should teach you never to club twirl a terrible hook haha
