Driver test with Sky Trak

[nicklas]

Hi all
I made a driver test this weekend. Attached the files if anyone is interested to see some result from an amatuer instead of a robot.
I am a 4hcp, 48 years old, 197cm, 110kg. So you know whats hitting... I have been playing whole my Life. Hitting indoor skytrak since 3 years.
All shots made with ProV1X. Indoor.
Drivers tested are with Stiff shaft

Driver: Ping G400. 9deg
Driver 2 Cobra F8+ 9.5 deg
Driver 3: Taylor Made I4. 9.5 deg
Driver 4: Callaway Rouge . 9,5 deg
Driver 5 Mizuno ST180. 9.5 deg
Driver 6 Taylor Made ! (last years modell. 9 deg, Fujukara low kick, set to mid spinn)
From the 24th I was fresh in my body. 25th a bit weak since all hitting previous day, I find more pulled shots when my body can´t hold back.

Great info thanks

Good info, confirming pretty much all current drivers are about the same.

[nicklas]

I wouldn´t say that. They doesn´t feel the same to swing so it is important to find a trustable friend!
Many fairway obsticles at course "ends" around 225m so the last meter is critical.
Also to hit the same curve ball is good....

My personal feelings
Ping. The only club with better result day2. It trails rally god. Concistent. With a slight pull.
Cobra. Low flight. Closed face. BIG pulls day 2. For a "hitter" this will work.
TM I4. Also consistent. Power fades. to much spinn. I didn´t notice any twist face result..
Callaway rouge. LOW spinn. Low flight. Heavy club. Tired body day 2 couldn´t fire this club. If you can this will "hammer"
Mizuno. I liked this club. Low spinn. Easy to swing faster.The sound is a minus. A faster swing will hit this with distance and controll.
TM M. For all tweak neards... It will deliver.

Wow, nice test! if you don't mind me asking, how did you get a hold of all of those drivers? I would be interested to see if the Ping G400 Max is longer or straighter.

Thx. I live in Sweden. Off season now and all news in. Few people in store so it is no problem to lend for 24 hours.
I will try to get. Ping max, Callaway BB Epic, Mizuno GT180, TM M3 and Titleist or wilsson til next try out.
Dormy.se is so kind to lend demo clubs.

great testing here...I wish i could get my ball speeds and golf swing as consistent as what i see in these pdf's lol good stuff though.

So you were testing with the same shaft?

[nicklas]

No, that is not possible, The shaft is due to the producer the "standard " stiff shaft. To fit speeds 100-105mph

[nicklas]

I live in Helsingborg which is down south of Sweden. West coast.
