MY NEW GOLF DRIVER WHICH ONE IS BETTER

[@johnmontgomery7713]

Is Coach being held hostage in the shed? He's always there behind the computer. Coach, blink twice if you need help. 😂😂😂

[@mollermads]

:-) When is Coach changing clubs and what is his process? What is he looking for?

[@joeperez3520]

Perhaps he's just simply too tired to hit a few. Newlywed and all that, y'know. 👰 🤵

[@alexmorrison6355]

I like how we see the computer screen on the wall rather than the projected image! Good work coach !!

[@arthuracorn]

Love your honesty, you are no longer a robot but are like us all searching! Thanks for your help and showing us what we should be trying and considering in our golfing game.

[@DAoutdoors]

18 months ago I was fitted in to the Benross Evolution R. My driving is the best it’s ever been.

[@paulhudson2293]

You've been testing these clubs for weeks now and still aren't confident which driver would suit best. How are us mere mortals supposed to get it right in a 45 minute fit session at a range or in a studio?

[@Grunt21Tennessee]

Excellent point Paul!

[@quentindohnt]

What i Hear is: he said that both produce the same results but like all products YOU can change the results with your effort

[@jongeephotography]

You know these videos are filmed in batches on the same day, right?

[@garethedwards9896]

I think what you have to take from it, is that if your not completely happy when it comes to paying then its time to have more sessions on the fitting. 45 mins fitting for some will be enough time and for some it may be 2 or 3 or even maybe 5 sessions to get fitted for what truly fits them. My new driver i got at Silvermere but i first got fitted at my golf clubs and then American golf before my final fitting and i did end up with a different driver in the end as well so time well spent for me.

[@paulhudson2293]

@@garethedwards9896 Silvermere certainly have a great facility for their fitting, but if you don't buy something, you're paying money for that fit, so multiple sessions there isn't viable. I think this particular test is a bit skewed because those two are really opposite ends of the spectrum. Saying that, it highlights that the performance gains aren't massive, between a £800 club versus a £270 club, so why spend the money. If it's free, I'll take the extra 10 yards of carry, if I'm paying for it, maybe I'll save my £500.

[@chetlovesmer9549]

Hey Mark, Good stuff. Enjoying the stuff you're putting out right now. Interesting comparison. Here in The States you can get 2 Cleveland Drivers and a couple dozen balls for the price of the XXIO.

[@charlieboylol527]

Morning,I’m going to get fitted for new irons and the pro has those irons and says that they are great , thanks

[@JonathanMundy0]

Love the superimposed launch monitor screen. Coach Lockey aiming for a BAFTA?

[@tylerlove2052]

That XXIO definitely works for your lifestyle of when you golf. Always love watching you boys work through things, figure it out, think about it. All good stuff! Can’t wait for some course vlogs to see how you do 👍🏻

[@user-wf7vs3hd9n]

I think the Cleveland shaft is counter balanced too?

[@kymstock1852]

$345 Au for the HB Launcher Turbo in OZ. I bought one. Love it! The fact that you are even considering the Cleveland shows that you are not a golf club snob. I think you should game the CHBL first. It would assist a lot of golfers who don't have access to a fitting service see what you can achieve with an off the rack / non adjustable driver. Getting the right loft for your game is the only variable; 9., 10.5 or 12 degrees. For me the ability to hit the fairway far exceeds my need for 5 metres extra carry distance. Being way cheaper is a big plus too. I thought the Cleveland also had a counter balanced shaft?

[@acgolfwrx9852]

I find it amazing that you haven’t got the Srixon Z785 or Z585 in the mix? I think you’ll find the perfect driver out of those instead.....please test👌🏽

[@gregidour7315]

Tru that. I still play the Z545 while a callaway rouge collects dust in my garage

[@raginasianinvasion]

ACGolfwrx very strange.... Mark had to have seen something in the Z line that swayed him the other way.... but I agree, the 785 keeps up with almost every other driver out on the market

[@garethedwards9896]

Strange on the Srixon point as i was just fitted for one and for me it performed the best and is not at a bad price point either compared to the bigger brands

[@acgolfwrx9852]

Mike Cerniglia yes very strange, I have fitted many with great success 🤔

[@acgolfwrx9852]

Gareth Edwards I’m not surprised you were fitted for one. They are excellent driver’s and fairways

[@GodandBrooksFallsbears]

Have you compared those two with the Srixon Z85 driver? I’m just curious

[@seantongs3202]

You have to game the XXIO it's the one I'm most intrigued by. Plus it's got a Cylon on the top of it, will it go better than a storm trooper or snowman.

[@nigelday001]

Great video , love the exchange’s between yourself and coach, working it out ... 😉🏌️‍♂️⛳️🍻

[@jeremystafford8374]

So I guess you're no closer to a decision after that test. I remember you enjoyed the srixon 785 driver, love to see a comparison. Great review thanks for your efforts.

[@robbiles]

Go with the sexio Mark. It might give us some laughs to start with.. I feel that you're happy about the change in sponsor because it gives you the chance to test yourself and the skill that you have in changing your shot in situation. Wish I had that.

[@SixSigmaGolf]

Good job showing how to test our clubs and what to look for when we get fitted or we look for new gear. Great video!

[@love42productions17]

They are made by the same company. So you're seeing the Natural Light vs Michelob Ultra test. If Srixon was tested it would be Bud Light in the group.

[@SolomonLi]

I love the idea of the Xxio, but in terms of grips... even if it's lighter I wouldn't necessarily go thinner just because of the feel. Like... feel is such a personal thing, but being comfortable with it is so important... Excited to see Mark on the course with these bad boys though!!!

[@toddtylerREI]

The weather nice and sunny here in California. You guys should come here and play.

[@dufferjuice]

Hi Mark, It would be interesting to know why the Srixon Z785/Z585 are not in the mix.

[@olekieper8909]

Loving the testing videos with mark and coach! Super information but still so entertaining to watch! Keep it up guys 👍👍👍

[@sbrodie08]

Just purchased the Cleveland Launcher HB Turbo driver here in my home town in Ontario Canada. It was on sale for $449.00 CDN funds. Love it.

[@danmoore9143]

Really looking forward to the first course vlog with your new gear. I just added Two new Cleveland Halo hybrids into the mix. I have 11 total Cleveland/Srixon clubs. Great products at a great price.

[@ryankessler9310]

Love the Cleveland/srixon content. Would love to see you compare the turbo HB and Wilson D7. Battle of the affordable fixed hosels.

[@robbbranche]

Well that was interesting! Seems this is a good example of how much, or, how good of a shot, we're leaving on the "tee" without proper warmup. The Muppet Tour Pros are in this "not warmed up" predicament almost every time they video for us, we might have to vote on forcing it...probably not, but it's a fun threat!!! Great share Mark, great editing Sir Lockey, Thx, it's always a learning experience for me.

[@dannybaker4052]

Thinking about buying the Cleveland driver and 5 wood. Love to see you test both outside at the same time

[@th-mb6mw]

Surprised that the Srixon driver has not been tested with the other two?

[@jaredfernandez1990]

I know it's across the pond, but get the guys from TXG involved in the process and compare: their process/how they do it/results TO yourself fitting/your results. (if you think there would be any difference at all).

[@ChefG3380]

Jared Fernandez great idea mate!

[@JayCHales]

As a person who has tested both drivers. My decision came down to the complete flow of my full set. With that being said. I went all Cleveland's. Driver 9* to Halo 2&3, to HB irons 4-DW, 54* and 60* CBX2 wedges.

[@schneid66]

Have you tried the Wilson D7 driver? Similar weight to your XXIO and good consistency for a fraction of the price. Good videos!

[@1960tiffany]

Mark, why have you not included the Srixon Z785 driver in your considerations?

[@jamestobin6311]

With the space you have in the bag with the choice of wedges, put them both in the bag! Looks like you have a fairway finder and then one made for the 10 finger step through. Will keep the marketing departments happy. Additionally gave you tested of the deck at 7* it's a shot you play?

[@stevenstewart1308]

I'm curious as to why the Srixon drivers aren't in the testing process?

[@TheBradleyp63]

Would you consider gaming the Srixon Z585 or Z785 with a Helium 4 or 5 weight shaft or if they might have a new Srixon driver on the way?

[@justinmills556]

I'm not sure the XXIO is twice the club of the turbo as the price would suggest. I'm more sold on the turbo for my next driver and fairway woods. But I'll have to give up my extra 15 yards RBZ's to do it.

[@STUARTLEHRMAN1]

5 wood vs 3 wood - when loading your bag which would be most versatile I carry a 5 only - easy to hit off the deck and in a little rough.

[@sevesellors2831]

Great drivers but what about the Z785?

[@tonydg6086]

What about the torque on the light shaft? I tried a TS1 with the lightest shaft and gained significant yards, but found my misses going way off line. One of the differences I noticed from heavier shafts was lower torque. Miyazaki’s seem to have lower torque than the shafts paired up with TS1. True?

[@josephbennett3528]

Coach is the new Lester...can't leave his stool...LOL I say go for it Mark! If you keep it up it'll be #300 soon.

[@michaelheffern3446]

Interesting again!! Psychology-such an important aspect to the game!

[@chipper1069x]

I know you reviewed them last year, but why are the Srixon 785 and 585 not being considered for your driver spot?

[@davidrichard4300]

This really shows that you should search when buying new clubs. Have 2 or 3 brands in mind, and then try them out. You dont have to buy that day. Go back in a week and try your top 2 drivers out. This just shows how being warmed up helps. That XXIO is such a beautiful driver, but man that price tag is a bit too pretty for me.

[@leontaylor5490]

Cleveland all day bruh..!. Great looking driver, good sound, and very good numbers, including the price.!! Great vid guys xx

[@steventreeby3977]

Really like the look of the Cleveland turbo

[@pjirsa]

Loving the new screen overlay for the GCQuad

[@andrewkeightley246]

The turbo launcher looks a fantastic driver. I don’t know a great deal about xxio as a manufacturer are they a premium brand like peg? What are there irons and wedges like? Interesting 🤔

[@MrMk1mexico]

Just brought the Callaway. Great driver, sounds awesome. Fantastic price.

[@GodandBrooksFallsbears]

Btw the cheapest on ebay in the states on the xxio x black driver is $589 compared to the Cleveland launcher turbo $289 depending on which shaft you want

[@homegolfaustralia1078]

I actually think it would be interesting to see the results over 18 holes. Maybe even playing the same 9 twice using each driver on opposing holes and seeing what effect fatigue has later in the game.

[@nigelfrancis6350]

I thought you would have had the Srixon Z785 in that mix. If its good enough for G mac its good enough for your bag.

[@golfmonthlysales9641]

Great vid Mark have been looking forward to the comparison between the Cleveland and the XXIO. XXIO just looks a little harder to control unless you bomb it. Tough choice but I think your edging towards the XXIO. If so can I have the second hand Launcher. Lol. 😀

[@mollermads]

I love lighter shafts and have just changed from a heavy to a lighter driver shaft and I can do so much more the driver now. How about trying a heavier shaft?

[@zacharycharles5987]

Could you explain why the Srixon drivers are not in this conversation? They seem to be well reviewed!?

[@jsham23]

Zachary Charles Mark has suggested he doesn’t want to bring the right in to play and the Srixon’s do sit a bit more open than these two. Could be why.

[@sirtogii5216]

Has to be the XXIO hasn't it? Although I reckon once you've got the Cleveland set up proper it will be equal, that's just how it is.

[@discr1709]

I'm not sold on the ultra lightweight shaft. Only real-world testing will give you the answers you seek, Mr. Crossfield. I also think you should add the Srixon driver into the mix. Why not?

[@andywalker3144]

How come you aren't testing the Srixon drivers which fits in between the two?

[@marinmb44]

After seeing the first 3 shots with xxio, no way you're gaming that

[@quentindohnt]

Same same it seems but for looks i reckon the Launcher would suit my eye.

[@wallstreetoneil]

My comment on the XXIO is you are setting up a higher variance driver (light head, light swing weight with counterbalanced shaft, club face opened to target line with delofting (this will almost certainly increase lie angle as well (more knife edge)) but when you hit it, you 'can' get a 277 carry. If you are going to be running out of cars to do quick rounds this does not seem like the path to take. Would like to see a TXG 'fitting' video where they test out both with a dotted up face to show impact and recommend some tweeks (Head weight, non counterbalanced light shaft, etc)

[@andresd11]

The cheap one would be nice to see first. It would make a statement would n it?

[@Misnjef]

Oh I see, you guys are going for the TXG production feel

[@JoseHernandez-rb2pn]

This is exactly the feeling I got. Not bad, but familiar.

[@Misnjef]

Jose Hernandez yeah I like it. Now we just need Mark hitting 340

[@graemeshields1670]

Have you ruled out the srixon driver?

[@chroniclesofnanner9543]

Your love affair with the xxio is eerily similar to my love affair with my 917 d2. Struggle for consistency but I’ve hit bomb balls (280-290 carry) but live in the 230-240 carry regularly. The bombs memories are what keep it in the bag

[@aaroncray3692]

XXIO all the way - enjoy Mark

[@simonthornton7124]

What about the srixon driver??

[@jamesratnage4923]

I know you have a deal with these guys but weren’t you straighter and longer with TS? Not saying these aren’t good clubs but seems this area of the bag your giving yards back? Am I wrong?

[@allenduncan4743]

Mark why haven’t you considered a Srixon driver? Just curious. Allen / USA

[@rossjohnstone5805]

i am getting a new driver for the start of this season for the first time. i find myself in a sea of empty promises and big price tags 😂 ive been rocking a 2nd hand titelist 905r since 2008..

[@davidelmgren7367]

How do these compare to your old TS3?

Hi Mark, I live in Exeter and really want to get a custom fitted wedges. Who do you recommend?

Mark, was Mavrik not in the equation? I'd like to see the data on the Max and these two, see where its at.

[@MichaelBarberOBE]

Would like to see how the Cleveland performs on course. XXIO is out of my price range.

[@davepalmerton2429]

I feel you have to start with XXIO, the potential is huge. Sometimes it's comfort zone vrs. potential.

[@julia-6195]

The average golfer in me wants to see the Cleveland, but you'll play the XXIO. Me? I can't wait for the weather here in Western Washington to get warmer (it's like England) so I can hit the range with my Garmin G80 and see which driver I'm going to use this year: my brand new fitted Ping G410 Plus or my 2014 Callaway Big Bertha. I'll cry if I get better distance and better dispersion with the 2014 Callaway.

[@jamiejones6696]

Cleveland doesn't have a removable shaft, as far as I'm aware

[@SuLLy2GoD]

Not giving any of the Srixon drivers a try?

[@darrell3118]

Put a lightweight shaft in the Srixon Z785 driver and test it again Mark 👍

[@richardhandy9291]

Good vid Mark, would like to see you test a lighter shaft and thin grip in the Cleveland to see what difference it makes as that is a far more affordable driver for us more mortals. Could lead to us all swapping to lighter shafts 🤣

[@cwugrad396]

The Z585 driver is incredible

[@boatbuilder781]

At $699.00 I don’t think the XXIO will fit into my bag, a whole lot too heavy.

[@grahamhosker1749]

I agree. Go for the Cleveland, and spend a bit on some good lessons. For most players, that would give a very positive outcome.

[@jpxst180s6]

I think the Srixon driver beats both of these , why are you not showing us or trying this one out ? Give us a review on the Srixon driver Did mcdowell not win over the weekend with a Srixon driver ?

[@davidwhittington9498]

I think the XXIO is out of my price range. I think you should go for the Cleveland as not many people in my opinion will have this in the bag . So I think you should go for that your mate James Robinson liked it 👍🤓

[@Harryjones05]

Cleveland Drivers are so underrated... Just because they're "not cool"... I use the Cleveland Classic as I love the deep face, I gamed a Cleveland Comp with NV65 S shaft for 11 years until it cracked on the top of the head... For many years I was one of our clubs longest hitters with my trusty Comp driver, Cleveland are quality!!! 👍🏻👌🏻
