What’s the best driver you’ve hit … this year or last years models?

What’s the best driver you’ve hit hit in the last 2 cycles? 

[getitdaily]

Stealth+. Edged out paradym triple d on consistency 

[Ghostwedge]

The SIM Max2, just missed out replacing my Ping G400.

[Phabs]

LTDX LS won last year - going next week to hit the Aerojet but unless there's something significant I wont be changing. 

[BostonWRX]

TSR2 8 degree

This one interests me A LOT. But I hit my stealth + so good it's not worth it. 

 

But a buddy went from sim2 max to tsr2 and his driving game immediately improved.

Yeah I went from tsi4 to tsr2- Things crazy stable and long 

[Red4282]

Ill go with the boring and unpopular answer…. They all are good… it comes down to personal preference on looks and sound.

[Z1ggy16]

Aerojet LS so far. Feels and sounds very good, pretty adjustable. Close close 2nd is tsr3. 3rd place, Paradym 3D. Not as adjust but looks and feels awesome, not quite as good on miss hits compared to tsr and Aerojet. 

[Mike_Honcho]

i've only hit the G430 Max for the 23 models.  it's really good.  i'll need some time to decide if it's "better" than the rogue st max ls, which would be a tall task

Performance wise, on the course the G430 LST wins for me.  The TSR and TSI drivers look and feel amazing and had a slight launch monitor edge in distance.  On the course, the Ping is superior.  Really enjoying it.  Spoiled for driver choice, as there are so many good ones.

part of me really wanted the LST but i figured i'd go with what i need in the Max.  i can live with this decision.

I did chuckle at "for now".  The Max was terrific too, but spun a little more than I wanted.  The LST was hovering around 2200-2400 which was great for me.  Can't go wrong with either.

LTDX LS for me, just beat out a TSR3 I tried, same shafts in both.  Probably try the Aerojet, but can't imagine getting much better results 

[JMB3]

TSR2.  I love the TSR3 too, but the 2 just wants to hit straight tee shots for me.

[chisag]

... Living in Phoenix there are always free demo days at golf course ranges, so nice to see trajectories. I have demoed my Sim2 Max against most every driver and the results are pretty much equal. And now after 2 years and a good 500 rounds, I am so comfortable using it, something is gonna have to blow me away before I will change. But of course I will keep looking. 

[mantan]

Hit everything new at my fitting a couple of weeks ago.  The PING G430 and TSR2 were best for my swing. I could have played either one. Went with the G430 because it was more consistent and I loved the feel of it.  Plus I don't like glossy heads.

[JAM01]

Tested everything last year and stayed mostly with Cobra LDTx. This year TSR2 vs Ping G430 and the Ping won mostly because the Alta Quick shaft just worked for me. 

[BagofToast]

Stealth2+ does it for me. Much improved shape over og stealth imo. 

[Tiger_Stud]

Now that we have listed almost every driver ever made on the planet already on page 1 what’s the conclusion of this thread?

[fred faldo]

have only demoed the 430, Paradym and Stealth 2.0 and none were better for me then my Rogue ST Max ls, so will sit tight this year

Those are optimal quad distance numbers but not even close to optimal playing golf numbers. Hope your spin averages were higher. 

[lefthack]

I only have a few rounds so far but the Sim 2 Max is working very well. 

[bobbyclampett!!]

Doing some thorough testing this year, driver only club I am shopping for. Paradigm Triple Diamond, Wilson Dynapwr Carbon and Srixon MK II ZX5 LS have so far beaten out Stealth 2 Plus and TSR3. TSR3 may have been the longest, but dispersion was bad for me on mishits. Stealth was slow, not nearly as long as the others. The top three have all been great in terms of looks, feel, spin, ball speed, forgiveness, and dispersion. Still want to test Aerojet and Mizuno STZ 230.

Kai'li stiff, 9 degree and 108-110mph.  I now have the back weight in the 'draw' position and found my occasional right miss has reduced.

Correct answer.

[HappyGilmore22]

Stealth 2+ gave me the best ball speeds of all the new stuff. TSi3 just about as long as Stealth but more forgiving and consistent. Hit TSR3 bad but that was bad strikes and feel it was the same as TSi.

I can’t remember the exact ball they had but I play a higher spinning ball on the course
