Great stuff. I replaced my Sim 2 Max 9 with a Callaway Rogue ST Max LS 9, so far it appears that my fairways hit has gone up but need more rounds with the Rogue. Distance is definitely up, both have Tensei Blue shafts.

Very good information. Would appreciate seeing the Ping SFT included in this test.

Great swing Michael

It was nice to see you go after it in this one Michael! I have a G425 Max and I love it.

Had a G425 max, really had to give it the beans to get a decent carry but got outta sync with it. Sold it, went in to hit a rogue st max thinking it was for me and i was all over the damn place. Ended up getting a TSi2 and i can actually swing slower and get the carry i want.

Rogue dominated, very impressive! Dope swing Michael! 👌

Interesting. I would throw out the on left one from the Ping ("driver" error). The length of the Rogue stood out for me

Good test and 2 quality drivers... appears you swung a little harder with Callaway on all swings. Still 2 of the best of 2022.

Great video, thanks Michael. Based on the numbers Rogue is the clear winner to me. It curves more but as long as that curvature is consistent no problem for me. It will also be more workable obviously.

In testing and fitting can I ask how does the mizuno stz220 compare as is whole design is on the axis I think

All based on ones swing and what looks good at address and gives confidence. I have a 2020 Cobra Speedzone driver. For $299 direct from Cobra it was a no brainer

I owned both, however for me the Callaway is the one in my bag, I just couldn’t get passed the sound of the ping. The looks of the Callaway suites me better as well.

I fell like I’m the only golfer that loves the sound of Ping G425 Max

I've always liked the sound of ping drivers. Reminds me of little league batting cages

I still use a Ping G410 driver. We had both Callaway and Taylormade at our club and I tested every option the fitters recommended. I lost 7mph ball speed with the Stealth. The Rogue felt very stable, and wind behind was fine, but I lost considerable distance into the wind.

If you want a straighter flying driver, be certain you get a model with an offset head. It's easier to square at impact.

You should pick a L/R spec limit that you think is acceptable and compute Cpk (how well does your distribution of shots land btwn your set limits?) We use Cpk to tell how good a process is when molding parts.

Outside the context what shoe model you are wearing? It’s so cool 😎 I’m using g425 since I’m beginner, and I love it :)

At least the Ping doesn't sound like the Nike Sasquatch

Curvature stats highlight a key issue I think - surely better to use furthest right minus furthest left or vice-versa rather than allowing big figures in either direction to cancel each other out🤷‍♂️. Callaway 48R-6R=42, Ping 45R-26L=71 meaning Callaway wins in my book - it also has far more consistent figures in other key areas

Agree, did mention this 👍

I love my Taylormade RBZ

Why is the audio coming out of the left ear only?

Ping is a shorter driver , Would you rather have 285 in the middle of the fareway or 300 in the bushes. It's a no brainer !!!!

Not sure Callaway was in the bushes🤔, so as a no brainer I agree Callaway all the way🤷‍♂️

What I really notice is the backspin rate. PING is 500+ rpm higher

The sound of the Ping would make it a no go. That's the reason I got rid of my Cobra F6+. I really liked the club, but the sound was unbearable.

Rogues pretty long and low spin for the max version.

No glove today

Bubba won 5 driving titles with them…

No offence but you're not really striking it well enough to draw anything from this. Your offline shows you have obvious flaws in your swing which range from good to crap. That's cool, but I don't think you should then double down and offer conclusions on which is better when you're the weak link.

If you hit it in the center every time it goes straight, that is what robot testing does. This is exactly how you want to test which one hits it straighter on less than perfect strikes.

What a moronic comment lmao. That’s the whole point of forgiveness bozo. He’s not a robot, he’s going to mis hit it. Every driver in the world goes straight on a perfect strike 😂😂
