Great video for showing how an appropriate fitting can work wonders, but it has to be the right fitting. My driver has been all over the place recently so I took it out the bag, but its more than likely just the completely wrong setup for me... Obviously not me swinging wildly, has to be the cub, right?

Very good series. I bought a new Mizuno ST Max after your last video for $200 USD / about 160 pounds. Really good performing driver. Not longer than my prior gamer (PXG 0811 Proto Plus) but some subtle differences in ball fight for me. Seems very neutral in standard setting so I can play it as is or do a minor sleeve adjustment to bias it one way or the other. Good time of year to find a great deal.

Great video Simon very good. I have tried and return 3 2024 drivers so back using my SIM2 and simply see no difference. A new driver shaft made more sense. I have an EPIC speed head only for £90 in 2022, only bought as my son was leaving his package set phase. 75 gram stiff 44.5" shaft sound and feel : ) when hit from the center.

I did the same, tried out a Paradym, g430, tsr3, and the qi10. Have the sim 2 as well. Ended up using the qi10 all year. Performs a touch better than the sim 2 but it’s the look of that top crown that got me. Was never a fan of the white split crown on the sims

After 14 years of using my Cleveland HiBore XL Tour 10.5 with an Aldila 60gm stiff, I decided to upgrade to a Cobra LTDx, but could not find one in my budget. I did find an LS 10.5 though, with a Hazrdous 6.0 blue. Now that I have a better swing speed I would like to try an xs shaft just to see if I can bring things back to the right a bit more. Snap hooking like I never have before, or do I just relearn a swing to suit the setup?

Very much like my Cobra Darkspeed. I’d pickup an extra as a backup. How many rounds How many ball strikes should the driver heads last If taken care of and just normal wear and tear. All drivers get to looking a little scratched up on faces and bottoms.

Picked up a TSR2 with a 45 inch shaft for less than half of a GT2. About 8-10 yards longer than my Mizuno 230 St-x with similar accuracy. Looking forward in a few years to picking up a Tour Edge E725 or GT2 second hand. Callaway pre-owned is a really good place to get Calloways cheap, and give good value on trades.
