Freddie, mate, you explain STUFF better than the others I've seen, it's simple and in less words. That's super refreshing. BY the way, I'm a 9 hc I am a longer hitter that most of my golfers, Ave about 240-250m in summer, but can bomb them 295+ with good conditions. shopping for a new driver, I'm always leaning towards LS heads at 9.5-10 loft. happy with Stiff but on the light side, (50g). Tend to push right a bit, Current drivers are, a Broken XXIO 9.5 non adjustable. 43g S and an Epic Max LS , 9* adjusted to 10. 50g S. XXio is longer by 10m but not as forgiving. I'm assuming the LS are the longest driver with some forgiveness, am I wrong into thinking that the 10k drives are not as long as the LS ? and in your opinion, is the Ls smoke the longest or the 2024 models?

[@FredzGolf]

@samrad1745 Hiya, thank for this! Super refreshing to get such good feedback! 👊 Have you got anywhere you can try some out? Depends a bit on launch/spin ...some need less and some need more By the sounds of it though, you're used to and suit the LS type heads I do think the Ai Smoke Triple Diamond is an absolute beast and yes, I think it's the best driver of 2024 😋 Srixon ZX5 LS also a contender, just has a shallower face than the triple D! The 10K Drivers are good and they aren't short by any means.. Always worth a bash if you have the facility to do so nearby 🙃

Incredible breakdown thank you!

[@FredzGolf]

Very welcome!

Freddie, my girlfriend normally hits her drive straight but her misses are push fades. She obviously can use some improved distance. Her drives go about 180 to 200 yards carry and roll. Her ball flight is a mid trajectory but high on a push fade. From this video I can't tell if a Max D or a Max with the sliding weight towards the heel would work better for her to counter her push-fades. Any thoughts on this?

[@FredzGolf]

The best thing would be to hit both and see what works best ...My other senses ask me how sporty she is and likely to gain speed over time as she plays more golf Max D would be the easiest win if there's no intention of improvement swing wise ....Max if you think she will progress through it :) No harm with either approach If she can do this, Max will be best I think long term: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qoatpXVspdl5q68

[@Willberight2moro]

Interesting vid. I have a natural fade so do like the D models in drivers. I go neutral with FWs and Hybrids though, for shot shaping.

[@FredzGolf]

Aha!! Good thinking, I like it 👌 😀

[@bradnettleton5810]

Brought the max D fantastic I have gone down from 18 now playing of 14 getting 20m further.

[@FredzGolf]

B e a utiful 😋

[@alcw625]

What about the Callaway Paradym Ai Smoke Max Fast model? is that just a shaft differentiation along with the D bias?

[@FredzGolf]

I think, off the top of my head, it's the Max (not Max D) head, no adapter to save weight and then a lighter shaft to increase potential speed - So it's more of a speed hunt that a directional one

[@markrobinson3060]

I’ve been swopping between shafts atm Fuji blur and kura kage hitting the kage in reg. flex so much better though fancy trying a ventus which one would be a better option red or blue don’t think the black one suit me I’m 58 and around 240 yards with that one I had a fitting years ago but it wasn’t a great experience

[@FredzGolf]

The Red would be my instinctive recommendation! Avoid the TR variations

[@markrobinson3060]

@ thanks for the quick response I did think red but you know your stuff having the experience of trying them

[@jeffjob6995]

The other difference he didn't mention is the Max D has a 60 degree lie angle where the max is 58 degrees. 2 degrees isn't huge but there's a reason callaway put that club more upright on the draw model.

[@FredzGolf]

Very true!! I missed that bit in the video 😇

[@seanirwin9220]

What's the sim setup you've got going?

[@FredzGolf]

Foresight "Sim In A Box" with GC3, fully enabled :) Two of them here at the moment, until we expand hehe

[@rlbjr]

Standard lie angle of the Max is 58* while Max D is 60*. Upright setting will increase it by 3*. The Max seems better for most due to its adjustability.

[@FredzGolf]

Ooh, I never thought about the lie angle! Good point 👉 True ...if the golfer sets it on Draw bias and then later improves technique, it can be neutralised later 😀

[@craigtalbot9316]

Freddie i cut the ball as i hit down and across it, find that so hard to get away from (playing over 30 years that way) would a max d help or what about these mini drivers im seeing would they help? Thanks

[@FredzGolf]

I think the Max D will help the most in that scenario ...the face tech is geared up to assist that kind of delivery and mis-hit that comes from it - The tech in the face is magnificent Mini Driver wise they can be helpful but I don't think they'll have the directional benefit ...more of a club that finds less trouble because it doesn't go as far (opinion)

[@craigtalbot9316]

@@FredzGolf thank u for the reply mate, much appreciated

[@AJ-ku7nm]

30 day wait for my Max “D” in my shaft/head combination. So say the pro shop 😭

[@FredzGolf]

Yeah there's a few co.ponents waiting to come back in to stock... it'll be worth the wait 😁

[@GinAndBuccos]

Good info, I’ll have to try toying with the ‘upright’ setting as well as the weight… I’m playing the standard Paradym but haven’t moved the weight yet. Buuut, does anyone here have a guess as to why the two trackman simulators I use both seem to read drivers terribly? Iron & wood ball flight and data all seems very accurate, but driver swings always seem to show up as short and slicey for my buddies and I. On the course I hit my drives around ~265-270 but the simulator always has me at like 225 🤔 I’d love to do my driver tinkering in the sim, but feel like I can’t trust the readings. Only the driver seems off though.

[@FredzGolf]

Hmmmm that is odd for the Trackman ....have you tried the radar golf balls? Pro V1 RCT I think they're called 🤔 Try this one for the slide able weight 😋 kzbin.info/www/bejne/e53WkIGei7B4aqc
