4 Year old driver vs New Driver Test

[Exactice808]

Yes the over estimation is what is potentially giving the odd smash factors. Yes TM does and can give over the 1.5 smash, but generically speaking 1.5 is the basis of measurement. Going back to my original point, CT units are truly the ONLY actual true measurement but not many people have a CT machine.

 

Anyways smash is a calculation of ball speed and club speed so if a measurement is off it can read skewed numbers but the point is you can get a base number of potential through estimation. If you have a swing speed of 100 the potential ball speed is 150mph. if you have a swing speed of 110 you have a potential of 165mph. we are likely not exceeding this. In other words I dont know of any human able to have a swing speed of 100mph yet produce a ball speed of 160 (1.6smash) with a confirming club 239ct units +/- 18ct units, and a calibrated launch monitor.

 

The conforming club cannot exceed a maximum of 257 ct units period if it exceeds this then its non confirming and your round is not a stipulated round.

UPDATE: Decided to try it again, a week before shutdown here in So. Cal

My swing speed averaged 93-94 mph , 10 drives with each driver.

XR16 versus PING G400 Max- ONE drive with the 400 was 2 yards longer.

XR16 versus TM Maverick Max - pretty much the same

 

Will continue quest, what's the worst that could happen? I find a better driver!!!!!!!!!!!! Still hoping someone does a test of 5 year old driver vs today's drivers.
