I’m a 19 h/c and found the Titleist TSR1 to deliver the best results for me in my fitting last week. Tried several (TM, PING, MIZUNO) but for me and my swing, the TSR1 was the one. I hope everyone gets fitted and go with the one suited for you😃

agree, got a fitting last week and best thing i ever did. ended up with a Mizuno ST Max. I probably play off about 16-17 and handicap never came into it. It was just the only club that i felt got back to the ball with the least effort for my swing speed. Others were too heavy.

25 handicap, was once a 9 30 years ago. Kids and life have gotten in the way of my golf hobby. Happy that when I do get out on the course once or twice a year I can still break 100 and sometimes 90. Enjoy your content. Makes me feel like I’m keeping touch with the game.

Feel that... buy a net and get a cheap sim. It has helped me a ton with staying consistent. Its hard to work on your game when there is no consistency. Hit em straight brother. Keep putting your kids and wife before golf and I think that's cooler than playing scratch golf. Cheers.

I went out on a limb and ordered the Ping G430 Max 10K after watching your video, reading a million reviews and taking the Ping online fitting…… Played 2 rounds so far (In Norway) and simply can’t describe how impressed I am with this club and the level of confidence it gives me off the tee. Simply amazing, low spin, controllable, long and forgiving. I’ve cranked it down to 8 degrees, as I have no problem launching it in the air. (5HC)

Honestly if you guys are 25+ I wouldn’t buy a q10 max. I think it would be a great idea to get a forgiving driver but get a slightly older model, maybe used, and work on your game and used the money you saved on lessons. Callaway preowned site is a great place to look for used clubs that are basically new. You also gotta be careful buying a forgiveness based driver sometimes if you hit the ball hard as they increase spin rate for the most part and you’ll hit the ball a mile high and lose distance off the tee.

Still gaming my Callaway GBB Epic Sub Zero. Went for a three wood fitting a couple of weeks ago as I lost my three wood of 15 years. 😢 and I tried a few drivers when my fitting was finished. Still nothing beating the GBB SZ in 2024. Some longer but not by much, BUT not as forgiving, some more forgiving but losing too much distance. All the major companies are selling the same driver dressed up differently the last 8 or so years. All the smaller/cheaper brands have now caught up because the technology has stalled and they can make the same club for a lot cheaper.

I've built my own clubs for 30 yrs, and I've used drivers from less that 300cc to 460cc, with and without movable weights. I've found the shaft to be the most important link in this process. When my swing speed was consistently around 120 mph in my mid 30's, I found an Alidla HM40XX shaft was best, and used it in 3 different clubhead designs. At 64 yrs kf age, I recently built a new driver, still using 9.5° of loft and a shaft with less torque, and a higher flex point, and I am averaging 250 to 260 yds off the tee, and I can hit a controlled driving power fade, which is my shot shape preference. I've taken my "custom" built drivers into several places to compare with the high dollar brand names, and my speeds, spin rate, launch angle, etc are just as good or better with the clubs I build for less than $150 vs the $300- $500 drivers. On at least 4 occasions, the person working with me in the club comaprison has asked to swing my club for themselves, and then want to buy me driver from me. Practice, spend time on the range learning to consistently hit the ball with a consistent shot shape, and you will score better. This is not a promotion post to downgrade brand name clubs. I actually use a Taylormade 3 wood that I've not replaced in 10 plus years because of how well and consistently I hit it. A $500 driver is not going to correct a poor swing.

I've never been fit and as much as I can appreciate the tech and forgiveness in the Ping G430, I just do not like the turbulators.

I gained 20 yards over the Stealth, because my misses aren't as bad.

I used to shoot a varying and inconsistent round between 100 and 110. I got fitted with Ping G425 irons and Ping G425max driver. Now I`m shooting low to mid 90`s and I just love the off centred (most of my drives) help down the fairway

I currently am a 13 handicap and will be upgrading my titleist 915 D2. Looking to either get fitted for a PXG 0311XF, ping G430 10K MAX, or a paradym X. I just generate too much spin on my driver unfortunately which generates too much height and a lot of left to right

Peter , thank you very much for doing this video. Been waiting for someone to cover this topic. Would liked to see more than one choice per HDC category. It’s a good start. My average score is 80. Please expand on this very important topic if possible. Thanks. 🤙

last year on medals it averaged out between 85 and 95. I play off 14.7 whs index which gives a course handicap of 17. Tee to green usually not bad but putting really lets me down need to get my head in the right space and do some practice. Currently use a Cobra F9 but just won a Taylormade Qi10 Max had it custom fit and just waiting on delivery.

I shoot anywhere from 80 to 95. With the testing of the 2024 Drivers, one stood out for me. The Ping G430 Max 10K. Loved the long drives it produced during testing. Went in the bag that day. So far, it has not disappointed. It keeps the drivers straight-er.

G430 max owner here - i know its not the one in the video technically but as a 8.5 handicap, its incredible. Could I get more distance from a different driver? Probably.. but the 430 max offers (for me) the perfect blend of distance vs forgiveness. Most courses I play, if you can pap one down there 240 to 260 yards, you'll be in wedge range. Keep it in play with a gentle swing and youll be laughin. If there's no trouble and its wide open I can still put the gas on and take one out past 290 on occasion. Its the only "tech" upgrade i've really made in 15 years and it was worth it IMO.

Hi Pete, I've just recently really gotten into golf and am slowly working my scores downtowards 100. (I don't go fishing anymore so needed another hobby to spend ridiculous amounts of money that I don't have on😂) Used to play casually years ago with a set of MaxFli clubs and loved loved them but left them in Australia before moving to Ireland. I have been playing with a cheap set of Stinger STX clubs i bought on special and I never know where the drives are going to end up! A mate recently lent me a Taylormade RBZ and bugger me, I have finally found out what a draw is. Only been hitting it at the range but finally feel confident behind a driver and can't wait to get out for a round when, or more accurately, if, this rain ever stops. Love the show mate and also swing quest. I reckon you've helped my game come along a lot quicker with all your tips. Cheers.

I’m a 13 handicap (Gold tees) and currently play a Tommy Armour Max driver. It is adjustable and very forgiving. When I was looking for something new, I came across someone at my local golf club who was hitting one and let me hit it. I hit it straight down the fairway every time with a little distance added. I ordered one from Dick’s thinking for only $200 (new), it was worth a try. Been completely satisfied with the club, and have the satisfaction of knowing I didn’t have to pay $400 or more for a new driver.

Interesting. I haven't played a "new" driver in many years. Still hitting my Calloway Epic Sub-Zero's and I still love them. I can still out drive most people on the course (at age 62). I really don't see a need to get another driver (have a whole garage full of them). I really don't think I would get any more distance or playability out of anything else. But, these drivers do look great!
