When and hit all 3 models.  Thought the X would fit me best and really didn't even want to hit the LS because my swing speed ranges from 94-98.  X felt good and the my fitter talked me into hitting the LS 10.5.  After a few swings he turned it up to 11, and after a few more swings he put the 12 gram weight on toe (a hook is my miss).  Ironically I hit the first ball right but had good numbers.  After settling in my ball speed got to 148 (usually in low 140's) and swing speed was consistently at 98.  I ordered the LS - the numbers don't lie.  I am only posting this because a lot of a reviews state only for fast swing speeds - which is probably true but not in my case.  The LS was the clear winner

Similar for me as my ss ranges 99-103mph and yet the LS just works. I will say I haven’t bought one yet only bc I need to try moving the weights around a bit. I know all swings are different but am curious if moving the heavier weight back will bring the peak height up a little? I like and hit the 8 degree better but the 9 degree just gave me the height I want.

Awesome!!!! Thanks. I’ll try that out because if I could add around 4-8 yards peak height that would be perfect!

Seriously. It’s a cheat code!

A few times. But it didn’t impress me anywhere near what this is.

Ls vs TD comparisons on course?  Launch and spin?  Forgiveness?

i have an LTDx LS head, wasn’t impressed with the Aerojet, might have to give the dark speed a try, my launch monitor numbers are similar to yours 🫡

Me too. Loving it!  Had a short window when I wasn’t sure… dropped the loft and it is really good for me.

I had a driver fitting today and the X with the heavy weight forward was the clear winner. They didn’t have the LS in lefty though and I really want to try that with the heavy weight in back. I’ll probably try to find one to hit before I make a purchase.

Anyone know what the weight of the LS driver head is?

Nice. They feel a touch lighter in swing weight than the other brands. I figured they just made the head lighter to fool you into thinking it’s more aerodynamic..

[gioguy21]

i got a 16g weight for my DS X; dropped my spin to what the LS was for me in testing -- and i have the forgiveness of the X head. i can not be happier right now. wish tournaments were starting next week. 

in my 3w, i changed the weights around to favor a fade - since then it's been a better piercing mid flight 5y cut 

[Diesel_z06]

Anyone have any idea how this would compare to the ltdx ls?? I swing it slow, 92-94. But play and Ltdx LS and spin it kinda perfectly, 2200-2500 I hit up on it 2-3 degrees so even w the slow swing speed I THINK it plays correctly for me. I don’t launch it high by any means it’s def a lower ball flight but I’m trying to see if I can still play the LS, I got an X but just hate the head shape. Def prefer the deeper face of the LS head.

Quigs, can i ask why you went blue vs black? did the kick give you better ballspeeds over the black?

With this darkspeed head. It gave me almost 2 degrees more launch but the spin stayed where I want it. The black was just a little too flat in this set up.

Thanks - i ordered a black but he said he's out of stock so - i'm checking to see if he has a blue. i'm sure it'd work out similarly for me. you and i have similar ball speed numbers.

I have a denali black as well. But I think I like the blue better here.
