Ok i’m Confused, I thought a 110+ swing speed generallly equaled more than 260 of carry. And STOP focusing on smash factor.

 

I used to follow Hailey on IG and she always claimed she carried it 270 -280. Umm not by the numbers and not with a sub 100 mph swing.

 

Lots of false claims by the Instagram golf “pros” that get paid to hit golf balls in their underwear. Has she even played a tournament yet?

Great analysis right there:

 

 

“A driver is only as good as its marketing.” Isn’t that everything MGS is against?

 

After their main guy and I got into it over him going on and on about how great Bob Parsons is and how great PXG clubs are BEFORE EVEN HITTING THEM, I am pretty sure that is exactly what they believe. He seems like quite the hype fanboy or maybe a Parsons fanboy

Was I seeing things or is there a driver in the final 4 where you can remove the crown? That is absurd. That session where they had the most people from Not allowed because of spam was weird. The clubhead speed/ballspeed numbers were all over the place and didn’t seem to have any consistency at all.

 

Are there any pics of these drivers??

The Cortex actually looks pretty solid. The Roswell is interesting. Magnus is a big no.

Lol. I can show you 115 with 1.41 smash and 251 carry. Spinning around 4200 in a Heel strike. Smash matters more than speed alone.

Most people can only swing so fast. Everyone can hit the ball in the center on the right angle of attack bringing the best launch angle.

Lol. Wish I could show you a trackman session where I try to get my AoA to + Numbers. Eventually gets to around 0. But I average around -2.

 

While I agree speed is usually natural , I don’t agree that just anyone can max out with launch and AoA. If I could I’d hit it 40 yards or more farther than I do according to trackman.

 

I know a guy who’s swings around 103 with perfect launch numbers and perfect strikes. Consistently carries it same as me. People are shocked how far he hits it with that little swing. On windy days though. I eat his lunch. Lol.

 

The correct ansnwrr is balance of both. But extremes are out there on both ends. Speed alone won’t do it. And it’s not as easy as you think to change your whole move to get max launch.

The Magnus is ugly and looks like this is Hogan driver we used to sell for cheap at Golf Galaxy. http://www.golfwrx.c...an-big-ben-cs3/

IDK if it looks the same but that Hogan driver was a distance killing spin machine. Yuck.

There are these things called patent laws, the show loses any credibility it had by having that Cortex driver in the finals.

 

Isn’t the point of the show to come up with new concepts?

 

How does it lose credibility exactly?

 

The M1 and M3 has sliding weights going from back to front, sure, but so does the JPX-850, the JPX-900, the GT-180, the ST-190G and the F6+. The M1 and M3 also has carbon on the sole, but so does the Epic, the IZ and the Big Bertha Fusion.

 

If Wilson Golf thought they were creating a driver that could put them in trouble with other companies, they wouldn't do it. I'm sure they know what they are doing.

Yeah not like they have a history of rushing a driver through and breaking the rules.

 

I’m more confident they have their ducks in a row this time.

I get that the magnus crown is supposed to have either a more aero dynamic crown or some type of alignment aid, but theres cleaner ways of getting that to look some what better appearance wise.

 

Tim Clark will just have to say, “You’re club is out if you don’t change the crown.”

He said that on the last episode. He asked, “are you willing to budge on the shape of your driver?” The response he got was a “No.”

I took that question the same as earlier suggestions to pair up and form teams. Those that did not got the boot. It’s not a suggestion, it’s a requirement to earn further consideration.

We’ll see. He’s trying to get Jimmy to budge because the driver does perform.

I wonder at the end of the day, if Wilson owns the design to they have the right to make changes? or would that be a legal matter?

 

I don’t think they would force a design while the show is filming

Meant more at the end if they where 100% sold on that design and that it would be better if they made just slight changes would they decide to go with it.

 

I wouldn’t think they’d do that, but they could

IMHO that was not that bad of a driver. I still have mine. The reason you guys were able to sell them so cheap at GG was because those were the last of the Hogan line before Callaway took over. I was running a golf shop myself at that time and we were a Cally dealer and we bought a ton of those for $25. I think we sold them for $35 or so with the Aldila NVS green shaft in them.

i can tell you what im learning from watching this show... After the spies were on hitting drivers , i can see.. as a whole the Male is a dying breed. So many 3 year old beards ( took 3 years to grow) ..Soo many squeeky voices... Between those guys and the snarky little guy with the Uber tech driver he keeps calling aerodynamic its like watching a sewing circle , with drivers ..
