What is the best driver in golf for 2024?( What do I need as a mid handicap?? )

[@ArodrigueZZ000]

When it comes with TOUR AD shafts(such as DI), pxg black ops was incredibly outstanding...! 1. Pxg black ops 2. Callaway ai smoke 3. Qi10 max 4. Tsr2 5. Darkspeed

[@embersgolf]

Great feedback, thanks for sharing Arod 👌

[@GOLFADDICT65]

was a bit surprised Ping G430 10K wasn't in the top 5 great review fella cheers from Vulcan Canada

[@petekenny3774]

Ping wouldnt give it to them 👍

[@embersgolf]

Thanks for watching and sharing guys, we appreciate the watch and comments 👍

[@454budman]

@@petekenny3774 yeah sounds like theyre a little biased bc they dont let them fit yet but I do actually thing the g425 is better. Its 10k of moi and its adjustable

[@nickmillar9651]

Great review. I agree with everyone you picked except I think the standard black ops is more forgoing that the Pxg tour head. The standard is 10000 akso in standard setup

[@embersgolf]

Yeah that is a good point Nick!

[@gonzalosanabria2251]

Callaway AI SMOKE in my bag……. 6 hcp here! It’s way better than any other and I tried them all …… so easy to hit

[@embersgolf]

Thanks for sharing, that is good feedback 👌

[@jordanwhite8108]

I got me an Aerojet and I love that thing no way I could even think about a different driver this year

[@embersgolf]

Hard club to beat!

[@BLUESILV]

I was contemplating a Ping driver but since they are big leaguing you guys. I’m sticking with my Callaway.

[@embersgolf]

Thanks Blue, we appreciate the support 🙏

[@Ghost-Of-Kyiv-]

Channel is crazy underrated, lost weight , u look good man! 💯

[@embersgolf]

Thank you very much! We appreciate the support and the feedback 🙏

[@golfman6779]

HAHA. G430 10k. Hit all of these except the PXG. Ping was the best. Bought it on the spot.

[@CharlotteK2008]

Originally got fitted for the Ping…. Ordered. Couldn’t stop turning it over on course. Now had the QI10 Max for a month or so and can’t stop finding fairways. Sounds better, looks better, goes better. Ping will hold its value better, that’s about it

[@embersgolf]

Very good feedback you guys, thank you for sharing your experiences. That helps us and our viewers by hearing others experiences with different clubs. Thanks for watching 🙏

[@Chet362]

Wow, just when I think you guys made the best club review ever you put this out. Love it! As a mid handicapper this is exactly what what I like to see. Keep up the great work..like the clarity if the new camera.. as for what to name the new room, my suggestion is “ The GolfBunker” cause it’s a constant battle to get better at golf and it’s perfect place to get away from all the trolls.. god bless and keep up the great work.

[@embersgolf]

Love it! Thanks for the support Chet! 🙏

[@vintageswiss9096]

I finally upgraded my RBZ to a Stealth 2 Plus when the Qi came out and the Stealth prices crashed when people were trading them in for the new model... Best time of the year to get clubs...

[@embersgolf]

Yeah, that is very true!

[@mikegerling9260]

You missed on this one, PING is the best driver out there for Mid Handicappers.. Don't be mad because you only received one driver from them. Did you change the shaft on the PING like you did for the cobra to match your swing?

[@embersgolf]

Yes we did. And ping gave us nothing. We went to golf galaxy and bought it full price!

[@Clonee17]

Still using Sim 2 Max. It’s an absolute beast and hits bombs 💣

[@embersgolf]

That was/Is a Great Driver!

[@stephencsaplar6382]

Using the Mizuno ST Max. I did shorten the shaft by an inch as I found the original a little long. Very forgiving.

[@embersgolf]

Not a bad adjustment there! Thanks for sharing and for watching Stephen 👍

[@68wolffden]

Interesting choice in rank. I got fitted again after the new TaylorMade and Callaway came out. Both beat my last fitting when I was synced into the TSr3. The Callaway Smoke Max is what i ended up with. Though i would rank a tad different but that just shows how each driver is different for each golfer from performance to option. Just a side note, the Cobra would have ended up last in the up top 5. Thanks and well some as usual

[@embersgolf]

Very good feedback, thanks for sharing and for the continued support 👍

[@bradmason5716]

When I came in to get fitted I was sure I was getting the QI10, I actually hit the top 5 and ended up with the Srixon, it was noticeably longer for me!

[@embersgolf]

Thanks for sharing and watching Brad. 👍 We appreciate you coming in for the fitting as well 🙏

[@ryanstang6340]

I gotta say the Srixon ZX5 MKii LS was INCREDIBLE for me. Just goes to show everyone is different

[@embersgolf]

Yeah we agree, we have some friends that are pro's and they play that head and Love it!

[@SidestickPilot]

I LOVE my 10k. But it’s a shame Ping doesn’t want to work with y’all and I would have to agree for being a high MOI head it seems to fit the lower handicap player better with speed and spin. Surprisingly it spun less then the 430 MAX which was a pleasant surprise.

[@embersgolf]

Ping makes great drivers for sure! The 425 was one of the most forgiving drivers. Cant wait to see what they drop next year. Thanks for watching

[@insuranceinnovationsinc2475]

Great video guys! I'm going Black Ops Tour myself. Just got mine putting it in play today

[@embersgolf]

Nice! Thanks for sharing 👍

[@davidaltamirano7672]

Got fitted with the q10 max and it was a huge improvement over my Cobra F9. It was almost a tie between the q10 max and the Ping G430 10k max but the numbers in the end of the fitting favored the q10 but it was almost a coin toss between the two. Both great drivers! I did not get along with the AI smoke max. Did not like the shape of the head.

[@embersgolf]

Good feedback, thanks for sharing 👍

[@vinnym5095]

Fitting bay room name ‘The Range’. Both a play on grills and golf. 👍

[@embersgolf]

Love it!

[@atamagashock]

I find it crazy how much people talk about the QI10 Max. I had it for two weeks and sold it. Maybe I had a hidden defect in it, but it was absolutely trash for me.Maybe the head design and face don’t suit me, I honestly don’t know, and even putting a different shaft did nothing. I’d hit my old 580XD 100 yards farther and dead straight, my new burner mini same thing, no problem ripping my 3 wood of the ground, but just couldn’t make the max work for me. I’d really like to try the core version, cause the head and face design is much more what I’m used too. I’ve been fitted for my p790s, but didn’t for my driver, cause everyone said how good the max was. But for me, not at all, and just another reason why getting fitted for every club is important

[@embersgolf]

I think Driver fitting is essential. The shaft makes almost as much difference as the head your hitting. Thanks for sharing your info though, that will help others seeing your perspective 👌

[@jergernice1]

Tried em all. Cobra dark speed max is great. Feels great looks great. I still have it but I bought ai smoke max cause I love the look at address better and like being able to move weight to toe. Probably sell the cobra. Value the mizuno stg 220 can't be beat. Taylor made blah. Ping lacks adjustability.

[@embersgolf]

Very solid feedback, thanks for watching & sharing 🙌🏼

[@andyyoung7713]

I’d call it your Man Cave! Or the dungeon of joy. Cheers boys from England

Not bad options there! Thanks for watching and for the support Andy 🙏

[@johnnewcomb5162]

Hard to beat a K15 ping driver, it's hard to miss a fairway with one, maybe a few yards short but out of the trees. Do a old school driver competition.

[@embersgolf]

Thats a great idea John 👍

[@rickcudmore8156]

How about the 'Embers Fire Lounge'? Great rank with honest views.

[@embersgolf]

Something like that would be cool

[@TheTrees_]

love this fellas, thanks...needed to narrow down my options when i test drivers at the omni in frisco texas...love these options...

[@embersgolf]

Our pleasure! Let us know how you like that course there! We hear great things. We are members at Omni here in CO but need to get down there and play that one!

[@TheTrees_]

@@embersgolf awesome, we played the PGA West and wow that was a beautiful challenge. only cart path so the course was very well maintained and most holes were at least a little hilly so plenty of exercise to tire me out lol but if i ever get the chance to play there again i would love it, great service and plenty of other options with a huge practice putting green and top golf type range and a couple bars there as well for after...golf lovers disneyland imo 👍

Great video, guys, thank you!

[@MrWubzHD2]

So question I bought a Mizuno ST-X Platinum 10.5 head with a UST Helium 4f2 shaft because it was being sold brand new for $149. My drives only went 190-210yds at the time because I had a major slice. I got it straightened out and my yardage now is 245-265yards. Problem is I only swing at like 60% power because I was scared of the slice but since straightening it out I am having power control issues so my front to back dispersion is getting crazy. During a scramble last weekend I swung like 90% without thinking and the ball carried almost 280yds only reason I knew carry distance was because we watched it carry into the bunker we normally never get close to. so should I keep using the A-flex shaft for now and see where my club speed normalizes at then get a driver fitting, or go talk to a fitter and see what they think?

[@embersgolf]

You could do that, or you can get a fitting and just get a new shaft for that same head. Sounds like the head is working out ok for you. Thanks for watching

[@MrWubzHD2]

@@embersgolf that’s what I did and the place was cool enough to just let me swap my old shaft for the new one for free since I had bought the driver so recently there.

[@throwingdartsandbreakinghearts]

The Fire Pit for the fitting bay. Embers. Fire. You know?

Not bad 🙌🏼

If you want to deal with warranty claims all year go Taylor made. Rory goes through 7-8 a year.

Where does the regular Qi10 rank?

[@j.w.matney8390]

My gamer is the PXG Black Ops and it’s great, but if it misbehaves, the Titleist TSR1 is waiting in case of fire.

[@embersgolf]

Haha love it!

[@CharlotteK2008]

Great comment 🤣👏🏻

[@maxwired2235]

Did you try any of the standard “made for” shafts or are they all garbage? After spending $600 on the Q10 with their Fujikura Ventus TR Blue 5, it’s hard to justify +300 for a custom shaft.

[@embersgolf]

Yeah it does get expensive quick. With how many stock shafts are offered you can usually get fit into a "Stock Shaft" but the upgraded ones have higher quality materials and are more stable. But depends on budget and player. Stock shafts can fit a lot of amateur golfers.

[@LeonSTE]

What is the most silent/dull sounding driver? I suffer from some hearing problems so the sound is important for me, and i am looking for the most silent one

[@embersgolf]

The new 10k by taylormade is Dull/ Soft sounding. Otherwise they all have a pretty decent "Crack" when hit.

[@alohapittsy7981]

Qi10 was my least favorite driver. 9mph ball speed less with that driver and hate the feel of how firm it was.

[@russmaddox22]

Call that new room THE VAULT

[@suprand]

Ooooohh. I give the ever so slight edge to the ping 10k over the Taylormade 10k. Basically even though when I tested it head to head.

Hahaha! The bay of pigs 😂

For the fitting bay name “The Grotto” You’re welcome 👍
