Tried all the new ones and the Cobra ltdx was by far the best

I tested quite a few of the and expected to end up in the Cobra LTDx. Ended up after all was said and done with The LDTx LS. Best numbers all around for me. Thanks for the video.

I’ll never do away with my Cobra F9 driver. Love it

very well done video - my Max LS ADIZ 5X is on the way

Great review thanks. I'll buy the Titleist from you!!

Love my Cobra F9. Solid feel. Surprised you didn’t include Mizuno.

Tested them all apart from the Ping…callaway & cobra are the ones for me. Stability really good on both but cobra’s ball speed is the difference which can’t be ignored. Enjoy the new driver…hopefully I’ll get mine in the bag soon.

It's so true that each one is going to perform differently for someone. I have the TSi3, and tested the Stealth+ and Rogue Max LS, and the Stealth was good, loved the feel, but the Rogue I just couldn't maintain spin on, and it was just falling out the sky. Didn't buy the Stealth because I don't think over time that face will hold up to club golfer bashings, and constant range ball use. You just need to look at the used market to see how much abuse golf clubs take.

You're spot on Paul. The right driver will be different for every golfer and that is why it so important to test for yourself and get custom fit. DC

Tried all them myself and Cobra LTDx LS was the winner hands down for me.

Callaway best all around driver out forsure that's what I went with this year!!

The triple diamond for you may bring the spin down, but I completely agree, the performance and forgiveness combination is unmatched this year with the rogue line and I usually don’t hit callaway drivers very well. I ordered one myself and can’t wait for it to come in👊🏻

I have tested the Triple Diamond, and although it did help to bring my spin rates down, I struggled to see the same consistency as I did with the MAX LS. On the pure strikes the Triple Diamond was longer, but the drop off on my miss hits were more severe. Still a great performing driver, but personally found the MAX LS the better fit. Brilliant, hope you enjoy your new big stick. DC

I went to the 75g tensei white to drop the spin down in the max LS. I was spinning that around 2200 and actually less than the triple diamond. Might be worth trying the heavier shaft

The Rogue St max will be in my bag in 4 days. Got rid of the ping G425. Great driver but just couldn’t get used to sound.

Surprised it wasnt the stealth plus to be honest, sound by far the best and on the numbers I thought it slightly pipped the test. But that’s why everyone is different, and you obviously loved hitting the rogue

Good choice, the Rogue ST is a STUNNER👍👍 It's a shame that you didn't include either of the Mizuno offerings in your testing, from a lot of the Testing that I have seen they are performing brilliantly.

It was the driver that just ticked the most boxes for me. All great options. I haven't had the chance to test the Mizuno as of yet. If, however, it follows in the footsteps of the last few years' models then I'm certain it will be a great performer. DC

Not having mizuno stg in this comparison is a major crime lol, nice content

I gott fitted into Cobra LTDx LS with a Tensei RAW AV White 75x shaft. Really a long and forgiving driver. Avg numbers: Club speed: 115.3 mph. Ball speed: 171.3 mph. Spin rate: 2057 rpm. Height: 98 ft. Carry: 290 yards. Total: 319 yards.

Another good review David. Your Titleist continues to work particularly well too, so the Callaway must be exceptional. As standard shaft lengths seem to be getting longer, unless you can generate high levels of clubhead speed to cope with them, what is your view on the benefit, if any, of ordering with a 45” shaft, for the average golfer. Callaway have flirted with this in the past and it is a pity if the option is not made available to demo with the new Rogue.

@bunkered

Thanks Walter. A shorter shaft length is certainly something that could beneficial to some golfers. The only way of knowing for sure, however, is to get custom fit. Only then will you know what the best set-up is for you. DC

I love so much about the G425. Incredibly forgiving driver, especially the MAX model, and as I said in the video, cannot fault it when it comes to performance. The look and sound, however, are just not to my liking and that is purely personal. Personal preference plays such a big part in choosing the right clubs for your game, that's why it's great to have so many good options out there, the PING very much among them. DC

I can relate to all of your choices. I chose the Stealth for 2 reasons. First, I used to be a heavy spinner (Maverick), just couldn't get it under 3.000 rpm, no matter what. When I started testing the Stealth at 9.5°, I immediately saw the spin come down to a little over 2.000 rpm (and adding 20ish yds in the process). Second, sound, feel on the clubface and feedback from it was so overwhelming, I just went for it and never looked back.

I'm in the very fortunate position that I get to test each of the drivers. If I was paying for a new one then I would have a very hard time not saving up the money to get the Rogue ST MAX LS. But then again, I love new golf equipment. My TSi3 is still fantastic, and I love it so it wouldn't be an easy decision. DC

If I gave a crap about what sound a driver made, or how you think it looks, this would be a great video.

2 years ago I bought the COBRA OFFSET LITE DRIVER AT £249 on course I could not hit it . I BOUGHT A TAYLOR MADE 2ND HAND DRIVER AJUSTABLE £60 and for a laugh just to see if it were possible a ANSWER DRIVER 2ND HAND £20 BOTH OF WHICH ARE GREAT. SO DO WE NEED TO BUY NEW AS OLD IS JUST AS GOOD IN SOME CASES .

For years have been trying to find a driver that I really like, gives me reliability, confidence and I like the sound and feel of. Since my M2 have not found one though owned and tried several since. Until now - as a leftie did not have the opportunity to try the ltdx nor the rouque st unfortunately as I have the epic 3 wood and super hybrid in the bag. Tested the ping (hated the sound and looks though had ping before). Nevertheless I really like everything about the Taylor made stealth and it is performing very well, and inspires me with confidence. So for I suspect next couple or more seasons that is the driver in my bag. Love the sound, feel and looks of it too. I am not brand loyal in fact have 7 different brands of clubs in my bag according to what worked best for me. Now that I have sorted the driver my bag is complete with everything that works well. One day may try out the roque st if the opportunity provides itself just to know what everyone is talking about re stability. But won’t change from the stealth. Also tried other brands including pxg and srixon for example. Happy golfing
