You didn’t mention the most iconic driver ever which is the Taylormade burner. This is the driver that ended the Persimmon era. In 1983, the Burner and Tour Burner were introduced and the company boasted 147 tour pros as product ambassadors. By 1986, the Burner became the No. 1 driver. I wish I still had mine with the 3 and 5 fairway woods,

@@MartinG-vq8ji we’re re talking about a 40 years old driver. I’m pretty sure that at least 60% of the today golfers are not able to shoot decent shots with it. My dad bought his last golf bag in the late 50’s, 70 years ago. just try to imagine how they looked like. I have never been able to use them. Although he was making pars and birdies. 99% of today golfers would be absolutely incapable to shoot one decent shot with my dads clubs. Woods in real wood and irons 1 and 2. Nowadays they don’t even sell clubs below 5.

I own the 2016 M2 - which I have given to my son to use - so I can take it back whenever I need to. The first Driver I ever hit that could beat it was the Epic Max LS - so yes the original Epic also deserves the Legendary spot. I thought for the historical significance, you would have included the original Callaway Big Bertha Warbird - that driver change the world.

I think every driver I have owned has been a legend imo. 1) Original Great Big Bertha-game changer at the time. 2) Titleist 975D-Tiger's driver in the 99-01 range when he was destroying everyone. 3) Taylormade R7 quad- first driver I can remember with movable weights. 4) Cleveland Hibore XL tour- A hidden gem. Very high launch low spin for the time. 5) SLDR- everyone had one of these at some point. 6) Taylormade SIM- all the things the hibore and sldr were but more ballspeed and forgiveness.

For me, my Taylormade R11s has been doing the job ever since I first picked up golf seriously a few years ago. But whenever I decide to upgrade it, I am 100% going to get fitted for it. I have been looking at the Cobra F9 as well as one of the newer Taylormade drivers (sim or sim 2 since they are a bit more affordable compared to the stealth) but am open to anything that suits my swing best

I purchased a C4 demo from the course I used to work at for half-price. I put a Pro-Force 75 shaft in it, and it was, and still is to this day, the best fairway finder driver I’ve ever owned. Problem is that i tried the out a new Titleist 905 driver a few years later, and even on my worst swings, it was still 20 yds longer, and it was bye bye C4.

I'm a loyal Titleist golfer, I started with the DCI irons & afterward fell in love with golf and Titleist. Now I have the AP1 718's, which I love, but still keep the DCI Approach Wedge in the bag cuz it's the best approach wedge I've ever used. So I was wondering if you've tried the 980 or 985 15 degree fairway wood? I was thinking about buying one to try out since my game seems to get along very well with the older Titleist clubs. I wasn't around when they came out, so I'm not sure what the reviews were back then and if you'd recommend them at all

It sure is shiny, and it was nicknamed within seconds of the head cover falling off. THOR At my age equipment isn't as important as it once was. Today just being able to lace up my golf shoes and stick tee peg in the ground is a victory...gravity sucks young man!!! *SPECIAL thank you: I recently, Saturday evening, found a matching 3-wood to my 2010 TM Burner Superfast 5-wood that i will not part with.

Very fair assessment. I remember when the C4 came out. I tested it and it felt like hitting a ball with a sponge. It felt so soft and the aesthetics were terrible. I went from a Titleist 909D3 to a TSi3. I love Titleist and have a hard time getting away from them. The SLDR is a flat out bomber no argument at all. There was a McGregor the Mac-tech I think it was called was awful too. I thought it had an impression of half a ball in sole of it. I remember seeing them they were so bad looking.

Can you do a comparison between the 2007 Burner driver and the current Stealth? I traded some newer drivers for my old burner because it goes so well. Thanks.

Excellent assessment, and I agree with the rankings that you placed. I would suggest including the Taylormade SIM/SIM2 to this list, since it also moved the needle with drivers for longest distance. The Stealth should also be considered, but maybe time will be the judge of that. Finally, I would have liked to see the Titleist TSI2/3 or the Mizuno ST200. Keep up with the great content!

I still game an SLDR. It’s easily 15 to 25 yards longer than my 915D2. But mishaps go miles of course. I disagree with the radspeed being in poor. Its pretty good for the average golfer.

I know you’re not necessarily going with newer drivers but it’s been out for two years or pretty close depending on what country you live in but the 425 max is highly regarded by professional that work for other manufactures for a reason. The amount of efficiency that that driver produces especially with launch it works so well with many categories of golfer. You got a high speed guy that doesn’t need to worry about distance then it’s a confidence inspiring fairway finder… You got a low speed player that struggles with launch and that’s their power leak it can be a bomber …. You have somebody that’s in the middle of the swing speed category it’s both. I’m a big believer in a club that you stand over with confidence is the one you’re going to hit best and that thing can I have you feeling as confident as you possibly can on the tee. I know it’s a little early to call it one of the greatest drivers of all time but I’ve played for 10 years and I’ve had multiple people hit it and 95% of them would trade their driver on the spot for it.

I bought a Wilson Staff Cortex used for about $150. I hit the crap out of it and people are frequently asking about it. My only complaint is that the screws to make adjustments stripped easily and you can't get replacements.

Love my TSi, only club that's out driven my old TM super-tri. Still have my 910D2 also, which is like throwing darts, but the distance out of the TSi is ridiculous. Best thing that I ever did to the Cally FTi was accidentally run it over when I forgot the golf bag was behind the vehicle. Everyone knew when I was on the course with that club.... sounded like an empty tin can.

@@SASGolf I get where you are coming from that the g400 was legendary and the g410 might not have been leaps and bounds better but in my opinion it's not worse and not a bad drive by any means. I think they were trying to appeal to those who wanted some weight adjustment was the main goal. The g410 in the states is still going for $250-$300 in good shape so I wouldn't say it's selling cheap. But if you want something newer and don't want to spend g425 money I wouldn't overlook it. Ping seems to hold its value. I do think the g410 is still better than the g425 on feel and sound

Used to own an SLDR. Heavy emphasis on the used to. It hated me and I hated it right back. Like owning a big nasty dog, I didn’t know if it would bite me or be my best friend. Swapped it for a ping G series and can breath a bit easier now.
