I Tested Bryson’s Driver

Bryson Dechambeau is using this Krank driver. Since leaving Cobra Golf, Bryson swears by his Krank Driver - which is more connonly found at Pro Long Drive events. Is this a driver a regual golfer should consider or should it say in Long Drive competition? I put it head to head vs the Taylormade Qi10 LS driver to see how the two compare. All that, and more.........

[@NewNineGolf]

That was so exciting!

[@mccalljeff]

I think you need a 130 mph swing to appreciate the gear effect when you hit it off the toe, which Krank mitigates because of the curved club face.

[@jaywood9415]

I bought one last winter because they had a 300$ discount. I hit my paradym 290 avg carry. I hit the krank 299 avg with the same loft. My swing speed is 118 avg and my driver shafts are both shortened to 44in long.

[@jefflina8596]

perfect timing for this video

[@mitchh6]

Finally someone reviewing this driver

[@mikenaus]

Callaway driver adapters fit in this driver head if you're looking for other shafts

[@StevelandCleamer]

Be honest Brandon you had this one in the chamber knowing Brysons been playing some insane golf lately😅

[@NewNineGolf]

Haha I had it locked and loaded and was cheering for Bryson so I could drop it. 😂

[@DrewJZ]

My first driver was a Krank Formula Pro. I also have their 3, 5, and 7w. They're really good and very accurate.

[@NewNineGolf]

Nice. I gotta try out their fairway woods.

[@DrewJZ]

@@NewNineGolf They need shaft upgrades big time. That stock fujikura shaft that Krank puts on everything is pretty terrible. I put a LA Golf DJ in the 7w and it's much better.

[@NewNineGolf]

Ya I noticed that too. La golf shafts are legit. Someone in the comments just told me Callaway adapters work with Krank? That's interesting.

[@DrewJZ]

@@NewNineGolf I'm pretty sure it won't fit the modern Callaway adaptor. Maybe a Callaway from a few generations back.

[@NewNineGolf]

Ahhh gotcha. I should test it.

Before I checked your subscriber count, I would’ve assumed you had over 1 million subscribers. Your content is extremely high quality compared to some of the bigger channels.

[@NewNineGolf]

[@jeremyaddleman3540]

One major thing I noticed was that is not the club that Bryson swings. The brand is correct but the head is wrong. He swings a 6° LD head.

[@ShaunOliver-ot3kx]

Just got back from the range where I was “trying” to dial in my driver swing. Last two balls went 306 and 308 down the middle and felt like a boss 😂 Get home and find this video and you are casually bombing it 330+ yards while nursing an injury! Now I feel I need to go back to the range or the gym 😂 seriously impressive mate!

[@atfinthehouse8631]

Note: Bryson tees the ball very high and his contact point with the driver head and ball is up a few degrees, so the low loft isn’t the factor.

[@NewNineGolf]

That's why he has to play a lower loft but I don't do that so I need a higher loft.

[@tonysanta3497]

Both drivers are good. Loft is more for spin control. If you have kinks in your swing that day, the you see an issue with dispersion.

[@kileypaet8221]

You can also use shafts with the Callaway loft sleeve. Just in case you had some Callaway shafts that you like better than that Motore. Also I’ve played Krank before and I feel like their drivers are built for higher swing speeds. More durable not necessarily faster is what I’ve felt.

[@NewNineGolf]

Ohhh I didnt know that. Interesting. Thanks for the info. 🍻

[@JoranBoersma2]

Another good video. Very likeable character and informative video. Keep up the good work 👌🏼

[@NewNineGolf]

Thanks for the kind words. 🙏

[@markbeebe3308]

Long drive is only allowed 6 golf balls per set. They don’t get unlimited.

[@ndmagic99]

I’ve had 3 kranks including this one. I only swing at 109 so i’ve never seen a distance gain, but it’s definitely got an advantage on dispersion. Not sure if it’s the smaller head or the extra bulge and roll they use, but it’s very accurate

[@NewNineGolf]

Thats awesome. That seems to be the consensus. Thanks for sharing. 🍻

[@TheTrees_]

appreciate this i have been wanting someone i follow to test this driver out because krank always has a $150 or $200 off deal that i get but not sure if its worth it...stuck by TM well and it can be at least 150-200 dollars less...not bad...will consider testing this if possible...thanks man 👍🏼 liking and sharing of course

[@NewNineGolf]

Thanks for watching and the support. 🍻

[@calljammer]

Been waiting for a review on the Krank! Awesome stuff mate! i think it would be cool if when you're having an 'off day' with the driver.. to go through all the new drivers in the most forgiving version of each and see what helps you best recover from an off day. If that makes sense..

[@NewNineGolf]

Thank you! Ya I can definitely try that or would you prefer if I brought on a higher handicap to test the forgiveness?

[@calljammer]

@@NewNineGolf Thanks for getting back to me mate! Either would be great to be honest. Cheers mate (:

[@NewNineGolf]

Anytime. Sounds good! 🍻

[@JBJHonez]

For LD They don’t get to hit as many as want until one stays “in play”. they get 6 balls alternating between each player. The landing zone varies in width.

[@CaydenSherwood]

Loved the video! I’ve had Krank Fire Pro 9deg in my bag for the last 6 months or so and seen a big difference in accuracy and yardage. I’m wondering, if you normally hit a 9deg why hit a 7.5 for the test? Seems it would make the most sense to test what you normally hit

[@NewNineGolf]

I was sent a 7.5 degree and didn't want to mess with the loft setting.

[@_bam_19]

Nice to see the data would have guessed longer and more wild but basically the exact same performance as 10k driver. Getting the shaft fit right seems to be the key for a driver once you have a repeatable swing.

[@dREHER0009]

Loving the upload consistency lately!

[@nathanhigham2007]

I bought one out of curiosity. It's a weird club. It's straighter than anything i have around the garage and it's shorter and spinnier. I've tried a bunch of different shafts and nothing seems to produce as consistent result as my TM Qi10

[@rogertaylor7828]

When I had a driver speed that was consistently in the loe 120's, I played with an 8° loft in my driver. I found that I was sporadic at best, usually hitting about 40% of my drives like I wanted. The lower loft compounds errors. After 2 yrs of this, I switched to a 9.5° driver, gave up about 10 yds over all im distance average, but the trade was hitting 60%-70% of fairways. I am now 64, and I still use a 9.5° driver with a swing speed just over 100 mph average. Normally, I hit 70% of the fairways, and average around 245-255 yds per drive, and I will occasionally hit one 275. 300 yd drives are not in my bag anymore. Find the right shaft flex and flight pattern for your swing, and you will play better golf. If your driver swing speed is less than 100 mph, don't even consider a low lofter driver because you are not generating enough energy to get the ball airborne. Side note, I've been building my own clubs for almost 30 yrs, and I have consistently driven the ball further than most of my playing partners who use high dollar brand name equipment costing 3x's the price.

[@two_toned_rooster]

I’m an amateur long drive guy, I play the 6° LD (thicker face so it’s a different cat than the pro). I’ve built it at 46” with a tensei white 75 X. I’m a +0.2hc and trying to shoot lower scores over gaining speed right now. My problems with a regular driver are 3000+rpm spin if I don’t play a strong draw and destructively high ball flight when it’s windy (comparing to cobra Aerojet and stealth 2+). The Krank just completely negates both of those. Plus with a more curved face mishits tend to go straighter, not necessarily a forgiveness thing just the club is actually designed for higher speed and doesn’t overreact to little things. I wouldn’t say it has gained me any distance, it just facilitates building speed instead of fighting every extra yard. It’s not for everyone, most people can get it off the ground but you have to be flirting with 190mph ballspeed to actually get anything done with it.

[@NewNineGolf]

Interesting. Really good info. Thanks for sharing. 🍻

[@monrivera1083]

It actually looked like either the Nike SQ or the Callaway Diablo

[@stevenloury2020]

Could you possibly test the Tommy Armour 845+ driver and wedges?? Looks like a great option for beginner golfers!

[@NewNineGolf]

I can try but it looks like they are a golf galaxy exclusive? They dont even have a website so not sure if i can even get my hands on them.

[@stevenloury2020]

@@NewNineGolf if you are able to order from Dicks they have them online!

[@natebrown7135]

Good video. I think I would rather hear you do your whole dialog about the club and then watch you hit a handfull of shots. Having every shot broken up by dialog wasn't my favorite format. Still a great review!

[@NewNineGolf]

Thanks for the feedback. Will change it up for the next one.

[@natebrown7135]

@NewNineGolf looking forward to it!

[@fretless05]

Interesting video. I must admit I'v e looked at the Krank website and wondered what the heads for regular golfers would play like. For any regular golfer, though, I'd wager that loft is WAY too low, as long drivers generally tee the ball crazy high.

[@NewNineGolf]

Thanks! Agreed. Should've probably tested the 9 degree pro head. They have a 10.5 degree head as well. 🍻

[@fretless05]

@@NewNineGolf Or maybe teed up higher and let it fly!

[@NewNineGolf]

Prob easier to get a different driver head than for me to change my swing (attack angle) 😂

[@BLoobs1]

Screw Krank Golf. I had the Rage for years and the Diablo before that. 2 years ago Lance gave me a call trying to sell his new drivers. I wanted the Fire Pro 7.5 degree driver head. Lance assured me that it would make it in time for my tournament. Well low and behold it came after my second round. It was fine and gave me enough time to get the staff at the club to put it on a shaft but to my surprise when I opened the box…. It was a **10.5** degree! I called saying there was a mistake and was willing to pay for next day shipping. Only for their sales team to tell me, after I talked to Lance on text messages, that they don’t have the 7.5 available again for a few more months! Told them to give me a refund and I’ll take my business somewhere else. Luckily for me I got a new driver and smoked a 380 yard bomb my second time playing with it. Screw Krank Golf

[@SuperYoda7]

I would love to see a proper long driver built with 5 or 6deg loft and 48 inch shaft length and compare that to a standard taylormade.

[@franklinniesterjr3812]

Working with Borgmeier, Bryson got swing speed once up to 157mph clubhead speed.

[@minzerleigh2691]

Iv been fitted to a ping g430 max 10k. With the tour black shaft at 8 degree. Anything more lofted i was sending into space, Although i was hitting the lst just as nice. Went with the 10k for the more forgiveness. What would you say the optimum spin would be for a driver? I feel like an 8 degree seems low for my hcp but no going to argue with a tour professional fitter. Ss 110 Average spin around 2400 With the lst it was 1800

[@NewNineGolf]

Depends where you live but optimal is 2800-2200

[@CobraCooKais]

I hit the Fire and lost 15 yards, but it was more accurate. It’s hard to get past the “ting” sound that the driver makes.

[@Fraggelmann]

There a video out there where Dustin Johnson tries a shot with Bryson's driver, and he did not seem to like it very much. 😅 Of course, it has rather extreme specs compared to the stock version, but I think I'll hang onto my LTDx for now.

[@Rogu3Nate]

Okay I have a legit question. I have a 11° and hitting it 320-330 some outliers in the 340s and my longest at 358 do you think I would genuinely gain distance dropping to the 8° or even 6°

[@NewNineGolf]

What are your numbers? Ball speed, Attack angle, launch angle, spin etc?.

[@JoshDizzle]

I got about 4 rounds into my Formula Fire Pro and coming from the Cobra RadSpeed, it is WAY more forgiving. At this point my distance is close to the same if not a tiny bit longer. But the big thing ive noticed is my miss hits arent going as wild right and left as they used too. Sidenote I LOVE the sound this head makes on impact.

[@NewNineGolf]

That's awesome to hear. It was definitely forgiving in my testing. Legit drivers for sure.

I subscribed you because of your drives to the road 😂😂😂 Good vid bro

[@NewNineGolf]

😂 Thanks! Appreciate it. 👊

[@thinkingcashew6]

Just looking at the numbers a few things stand out to me atleast. 1) you actually had a higher smash factor with the Krank meaning if you were swinging them the same speed your ball speed would have been higher 2) You had more consistent Average spin +-200 on the krank +- 400 for the taylormade. 3) Your side total (difference between targe line vs Where the ball lands) of your Shot was HALF 18'7" vs 35'6". For someone looking for consistency the krank is pretty much just better.

[@NewNineGolf]

I agree with the smash factor and the spin variance. As far as the side total, the trackman display/calculation is misleading. Ex. If you hit a drive 100 yards left and one 100 yards right. It'll show your side total as 0.. I don't know why trackman does that. That's why I go off the dispersion circle. Either way, Krank makes legit drivers.

[@thinkingcashew6]

@@NewNineGolf Interesting! yea the circle is more useful than that stat then. Might matter if your trying to move your average group closer to zero as in your aimed (center of dispersion) at your target line. Good to know tho!

[@NewNineGolf]

Ya totally. I had to do the math manually when I did my driver bracket. Added up all the offline total and divided by number of drives. 😅

[@jeremymcpherson9405]

Is it possible that you were swinging a standardized version of the long drive club? Don't they swing 48-inch noodle soft shafts to be able to create the 220mph ball speeds they get? I swing about 120mph with a 170mph ball speed and i either drive or come up just short of most of the average par 4 courses I play which are what I would say your average guy is facing on public courses. Maybe 300 to 400 yard par 4 holes. I don't think any more distance would improve my score really with 290-350 yard drives depending on wind, elevation, and roll-out..

[@NewNineGolf]

Ya I was definitely swinging the standardized one. They didn't send me the 48 inch noodle shaft. These guys swing at 130-145mph. Haha. Bryson is 130 with a standardized shaft. The highest I think I got was 125, 183 ballspeed on camera. Somewhere around there. It would be fun to test the long drive version tho. I might hurt myself. Lol

[@MechTensa]

110-115 mph club speed, 164-169 mph ball speed...... There is NO way you are getting 300+ carry and 330+ total at ALL unless your sim is set up with the weirdest atmospheric settings or strong tail wind of 15+ mph. 169.2 mph ball speed , 12.5 launch angle = 289 yards carry +-3 yards. NOT 305.3 yards carry. and with that low speed at that landing angle you would not get 30 yards of roll on even a bowling ally

[@NewNineGolf]

lol watch my other videos with 122 club head speed and 183 ball speed. Trackman is at 3400 ft elevation which is about a 5% increase from sea level. And you can't set tailwind on a trackman...

This tells me it's unnecessary to chase specific clubs for magical powers. It just doesn't happen. You still need a great swing. We see this in Bryson's gimmick videos a lot. His great swing mechanics translate to great results in rental clubs, Walmart clubs and even hickory. Moral of the story, save your money on the latest equipment. Spend it on lessons and developing a solid swing. The major game changers are great mechanics that unleash the body's natural power. Clubs are mostly gimmick.
