DRAW BIAS TAYLORMADE DRIVER VS MID HANDICAP GOLFER WITH A SLICE?...| STEALTH 2 HD DRIVER TEST

[@Hgjdoa682]

Super review. Realistic and without hype. If it doesn’t fix, then good and honest is to tell it. Best thing that would fix his slice, is to improve the swing. That would be the lesson from this trial.

[@jcee6886]

Finally, a reviewer who has a mid to high handicap golfer test clubs. So annoying when other KZbin pros test clubs hitting them like tour pros.

[@garymartingolf]

Thanks. I will try to use a mid to high handicapper for the 24 new launches 👍🏼

[@mauritzvandenheever2780]

Simple few tweeks on his swing steeper shoulder turn will assist to come more from inside which will reduce slice a lot. Like he said you can slice anything if you come over the top or turn it into a slap hook.

[@jcgolf159]

Luved the ending! Coach Gaz to the rescue, and that's with a driver (golf joke ;) Good on yas

[@garymartingolf]

I’m going to put him right, but I want him to test the g430 sft driver first with his slice 😅 only because some people just can’t afford lessons, so they search for draw bias equipment, and if the g430 sft works, I’m going to test him with older generation sft’s

[@stephencarlisle3743]

Good video Gary . Cracking accent you’ve got .

[@garymartingolf]

Haha, thank you

[@PNWLiving1725]

when you shorten the driver, do you add weight to the shaft, or driver head?

[@garymartingolf]

The head 👍🏼

[@kevinfranklin3950]

i just got original stealth hd and it has helped my slice big time

[@slicerjohn1897]

His swing has a few similarities to my old swing like right thumb on top of the grip and no hip separation, I’m looking forward to seeing his improvements 👍.

[@royclose946]

Well done gaz 🏌‍♂️ 👍

[@김종민-g4j]

I had Logue driver. Recently purchased stealth2. When swing speed is same stealth2 HD showed 10 yards less distance. Sound is good and forgiveness is good. But surely less distance.

[@lexxwhite747]

I think we've all hit a few of the old "driving-wedge off the ceiling" shots on simulators at one point or another lol

[@johnnicholls-qm4fo]

At last a test I can relate to being a 17 hcp it is pointless watching a 5 hct smash a club 300 yards😊

[@garymartingolf]

Thanks John 👌🏼

[@GOLFADDICT65]

ever since i shortened the shaft to 44 1/2 i hit pretty much straight all the time now and am thinking of going to a 44 inch driver......i am 58 and only 5'7 tall.....cheers from Canada

[@garymartingolf]

That’s unreal! Glad it’s worked! I think I’m going to have a play with the length of my driver, I’m awful with it.

[@markk171]

Yea the issue with these "anti-slice" drivers are...if you cut across the ball and deliver a glancing blow you will always slice it. You can even slice the ball with the club face slightly shut.

[@Pross50]

Looking forward to my lessons Gaz

[@garymartingolf]

No pressure on me is there 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@user-it5dc2lr3e]

No offence to the guy but I think his driver is fine he should spend the money on lessons as unless he has an injury he should be able to hit his current driver for atleast 200-210 carry. The epic is one of the best drivers to come out in the last 5 yrs, the problem from what I can see is mainly not enough speed in the swing which is vital for the driver and this is shown as being a problem as he has a 115 ball speed which is not enough to make best use of a driver

[@jameshopcroft8743]

Epics probably a bit low spin for him as well

[@oxfordbambooshootify]

Has he tried the stealth 2 plus in the draw setting?

[@garymartingolf]

No, I see what you’re thinking though! Lower spin / draw

[@GOLFADDICT65]

hi...i am trying to decide between the STEALTH 2 and the STEALTH 2 HD......i hit a fairly high straight ball...handicap 9 to 11.....am 58 years old with a swing speed of 90-94...but what i would like is a slight draw....would i find the HD drawing too much considering i am a straight ball hitter you think ? thx....cheers from Canada

[@garymartingolf]

I don’t think the stealth 2 HD will just give you that touch of draw you’re looking for. Id try if possible! Don’t worry, it won’t change your ball flight too much, very subtle 👌🏼

[@earlydaysseaangling007]

I have stealth hd driver and get on well with it yes I've had lessons as well it my power fade went

[@garymartingolf]

Good stuff James, glad the stealths working for you 👌🏼 did you upgrade from a neutral driver ?

[@CamMacMastermusic]

You may be able to text dad paid with a simple grip adjustment or addressing the ball a little bit different. And by snapping that trailing wrist through the ball, he may gain some distance to? Just a thought.

[@tommiethatcher7265]

Really interesting video Gaz

[@garymartingolf]

Thanks TT 👌🏼

[@scottchalk7808]

Great to see a normal golfers perception of clubs

[@garymartingolf]

Cheers Scott

[@spodbw1]

Sooner see a review like this than any pro hitting a driver 300yds down the middle every shot..

[@garymartingolf]

Thanks 👌🏼👌🏼

[@leearmstrong7007]

Same problem here! I went for a fitting with all ‘22 drivers and surprisingly the original stealth was 30m longer and considerably straighter than my SLDR. For me it was also better than the Rogue, TSR and LTDx Still didn’t fix the slice but much better!

[@garymartingolf]

That’s good to here 👌🏼👌🏼 Glad you found an improvement 👌🏼

[@guyr7351]

They are all pretty consistent strikes, he looks as though he is aiming left (or a slightly closed stance) he could aim left and be almost centre of fairway

[@garymartingolf]

[@guyr7351]

@@garymartingolf Hi Gary, I met you and Sam Tuesday pm, hope we get to see him having lessons. It does make me smile when people say cannot afford lessons (lots of lessons yes) but then can buy new clubs. I know the issue on my game is the ape swinging the club, a good swing gets a good result

[@discr1709]

He’s hitting driver as far as my 7-iron. 😮

[@onionskid]

Avrage distance 177 with driver is crazy. I bet amything if he got lessons and learned to hit a draw he would gain 40 yards easy

[@steveputland4324]

18.8? 🤔 He must be deadly with the foot wedge ! 😁

[@MinimalDann]

Watched both of the videos and for me, this all comes to technique. If this gent could improve his swing path it would reduce the curvature or his ball. Really insightful videos though and actually highlights to people who think buying new gear will fix there swings is never a good option. Lessons over gear every day of the week.

[@garymartingolf]

I am going to do some work with Andy on his swing. It’s just that we have a lot of followers in us, Australia, Canada, where a golf lesson is £150+, so they cave into all the club hype, thinking it’s going to solve all there issues.

[@guyr7351]

@@garymartingolf wow, that’s steep but I guess some of our top coaches are expensive. What is the average golf pro in uk lesson cost? Mine are £23 for 40 minutes when block booked

[@jameshopcroft8743]

Down my way it’s about £40 an hour if block booked

[@garymartingolf]

@@jameshopcroft8743 yes, I’d say a cheap lesson is £25 for 40 mins and a top coach is anywhere from £50-100 for 1 hour

[@nojosm]

Deja vu !😁

[@SlAAnsky]

Would be fun to se Andrew hit the new Ping G430 SFT driver in the most extreme setting with the weights !

[@garymartingolf]

I agree! When I was a fitted at AG for a short period, we had the best results for slices were the ping g410 sft, so I’d love to use Andy for a test on the new g430 sft. If there’s any driver to enhance what he has, this could be it.

[@brianmurray4199]

The biggest difference I saw is it didn't start as far left as the Callaway. But he is incredibly consistent

[@beachfraser3747]

Is it true that the new drivers are around £600? Callaway etc wow!

Yes 😂 ping 575 callaway 599, tm 599

[@AdilKhan-gd2sc]

Science at its best…

[@treyfisse8593]

These companies releasing new clubs every year is crazy. They tweak the previous model ever so slightly and slap the $600 price tag on the latest driver while they still charge $400 for last year’s model that’s not even a year old. I completely understand that it’s a business and the whole point is to make money but it is no way necessary to upgrade every year

[@derekmore1981]

can you have him hit all the new drivers

[@garymartingolf]

He’s going to test all the new drivers in their strongest draw position and then I’m going to help him with his swing.

[@michaelr9397]

Really enjoy this type off vlog, old vs new. I liked the extra ending part when you adjusted his epic driver, was the first thing I noticed at the start of video when seeing his first shot. That should really work out on the course for him 🏌️ Bet your glad he skyed them last few shots an not when hitting the out the wrapper Stealth HD 😁

[@DrRockso.]

Taylormades gimmicks have gotten old. Every new club is their most "forgiving and longest." Nothing new, just paint and a high price tag. This year's clubs are unimpressive. Money on lessons would be more beneficial then a new shiny driver.

[@oxfordbambooshootify]

That's the name of the game with all brands. There a limit to how well you can make a club. Too shite and no one buys it. Too good and no one buys whatever you put out next year

[@MarvinofMars]

Gary could you not take this poor guy to the side and address, 2-3 items you can see immediately. I am no expert (a junior coach) but straight away there is simple fixes. 1: Grip to square the face. 2: Take away, 3: The driver down swing love to see him hit straight and enjoy it too 👍

[@kevinfranklin3950]

looks like the club face is open which is not helping

[@adriancox-thesantjordigolf3646]

Only using half a back swing and not hitting through the line. This a a swing problem. He needs a few lessons. Money better spent. He must get higher ballspeed. And might benefit from a lower flex shaft.

[@andrewlaw8121]

A lesson and dedicated practice will improve his driving much more than a new driver. You cannot buy good golf.

[@davidquinn7144]

Nothing to do with club mate it’s a people problem.

[@steven-gerrard]

Proper club test. Pointless watching people nail a driver out the centre and expect to see anything new

[@johnnyburmeister2035]

Save your money jeeze, go get some lessons don’t waste it on new equipment when you can’t even swing the club lol

[@adriancox-thesantjordigolf3646]

VERY low swing speed. Little to work with.

[@steveputland4324]

Needs lessons, not a new driver ! 👍

[@garymartingolf]

He isn’t trying to fix his slice with a driver. He’s just helping me with a video to test the club for the benefit of anyone thinking of trying to fix their slice with a driver. To see if it makes any difference.

[@steveputland4324]

@@garymartingolf 👍Yes, I understand 👍 But surely someone can show the fella how to unleash at least another 30 metres, with a few simple swing changes changes, ie lag 👍🙏 I respect he’s a good sport for helping out, time to repay the favour! 🙏🙏

M6 the stealth 1 and the stealth2 are the most beautiful looking and more importantly most forgiving driver ever ! 🏌‍♂️
