With that said…no BS…if you’re going to make the time investment and the financial investment to get properly fitted, and your budget puts basically anything (all shafts) on the table, well yea, no shit, right…other than a bit of good fun and perhaps a quick look at the data, what do you really need our test (or anybody else’s) for? You and the fitter should sort it out between the two of you.

Ultimately this leads to better consumer education on a broader scale. We’re finding that many of the things that have been repeated time and time again that have little basis in reality. We learn…lots…every year, and a good bit of what the data shows flies in the face of convention. Secondly – While it’s not immediately obvious to the reader, these tests have tremendous value from an educational standpoint. Serious…not serious the tremendous majority still does not get fitted. This includes many ‘serious’ golfers (club champions (men’s, women’s, senior men, senior women) at my course for at least 5 years running haven’t been fitted. And, adds to the difficulty, and confusion amateurs have when buying new equipment.įirstly – The overwhelming majority of golfers aren’t going to get properly/fully (choose your adjective) fitted for the entire bag. Then I might put some kind of trust in your “independent testing.” Unfortunately until you do this, your tests are extremely misleading, and a contribution to everything that is bad with the equipment business right now. Give these people a complete fit, find the best fitted stock shaft in every driver, and then run the tests. On the flip side if you put them in the 67 gram rogue silver 70 stiff (also stock) there spin rates will probably be in the 1800’s below optimal. If you put them in a 60 gram Diamana Red, even if it’s stiff flex, of course the spin rate will be above optimal. With a ball speed of 141.8, and I’ll give you the credit of the PGA Tour average of 1.48 smash factor, this means the club head speed is somewhere around 95.7 MPH. I fit for a living and with the 7 stock shafts offered in the Titleist D2 to show a spin rate of over 3,000 is pretty misleading and irresponsible.

I would love to see the full specs of the drivers used. A dropdown at the bottom give you the ability to show or hide whichever drivers you choose. You can hover over any column title to bring up the sort feature, allowing you to sort by whatever columns you feel are most relevant to you. The chart below contains data from this year’s test.

It’s not the longest driver on the market, but it seldom strays into much trouble, making it ideal for guys looking for consistent results swing after swing.


An outstanding all-around performer in its own right, the M2 completes the most prodigious 1-2 punch TaylorMade has brought to market in several years. The more forgiving alternative to the M1.
