@@HowGoodGolf I would have to say the Paradym. Tighter dispersion. In the Winter I go back to the Epic. Because it gets cold here don't want anything happening to the Paradym.
Neither in all honesty. I currently game the Callaway Ai Smoke and don't see anything that would improve anything I do now and can't justify a cost for no real significant performance upgrade.
I have a 2024 Hy-Wood. So far indoors, it has been fantastic. I cannot wait to test it outside but right now here in Canada it is too damn cold. On days it is -15 Celsius. 🙃
I’m playing it in 9 degree. I just tried it because I thought it looked funky and it is still in the bag, im a scratch, it’s not mega long but it’s not meant to be but miss very few fairways and it sounds very nice.
Ping 10K is still the king - low controlled spin across the face with crazy forgiveness and speed retention. Ping 10K is the king of ball speed with low/thin hits
I am a Ping fan boy. My whole bag is almost all Ping, including a G430 SFT driver. I want to love the 10 K driver, but it never seems to work extremely well for me. I am 97% sure it is just a matter of Getting fit to the correct shaft. 👍 Later in the year, on demo day at Golf Town here in Canada, in November… I will certainly still be looking at that G430 10K driver and possibly pull the trigger and a trade-in. You keep rocking that driver and have a great year! 👍
@@RaidersGolf19 thx. I have a great home sim setup with a QuadMax so I’ve mapped out every inch of the 10K face. I have several other drivers in the rack (last year) and none come close to the consistent spin and ball speed retention I get with the 10K.
@ that’s not true either, pros play what they’re paid to play because the difference between and modern OEM isn’t substantial enough for them. So they consistently play clubs that may not be “perfect” for them. That said we’re playing a different game from the pros so who knows.
How would these compare to the Cobra 10 k and Max D versions? Between the two in the test, I’m with you, I would go Callaway as well. I like the adjustability option it gives.
Tried the hi bore on a whim, hasn’t left the bag, I’m a scratch golfer who normally has to play ls models because I am a high spin player but the hi bore just works and looks funky too.
I really don't care that much about looks. I am much more performance focused. That said, I think that the TM is better looking, but the ability to move back weights is too important to overlook, so Callaway wins.
Doesn’t really matter how they feel or look, until TM does away with the carbon face I will not play one, hopefully they fixed the faces popping out on these, I really like TM products and there fairway woods are fantastic, but there’s just something about the carbon face and the feel, maybe it’s just me though, until I really enjoy and hit my Triple diamond prob the best I’ve hit any driver in 25-30 years
No… You are not wrong. I agree. That carbon face is too soft and too muted for me also. I even prefer the loud popping sound of a Ping driver! Compared to that tailor-made carbon face… But I know others disagree… That is all fine, to each his own.👍
Honestly, all the adjustability is horse shite. Your buddy telling you to not go in the water has more effect on ball path than any 15 gram weight or Ai sweet spot. The Taylormade is clearly a better looking club, and I would argue that liking the looks is more important than any marketing gimmicks.
*Which one do you prefer?*

Taylormade Qi35, you pulled that drive with it. I like the LS model and prefer it. AI Smoke was better looking and Elyte look ugly.

I especially want to see the test on the Cleveland hi bore xl 2025, Cleveland has a knack of putting out a great driver every few years

I have the Epic Flash and the Paradym. Love both. I would have to try the new ones before I make any conclusions
Great video hats of to you lot of great content. 🎉 probably keep my gt2 for this year . Thanks for the videos
Would’ve loved seeing the Dark Speed against them too!

Ping 10k was my least favorite driver i hit last year
@ bummer. Still getting amazing results with controlled spin. Very high smash. It’s a dream

Try the 2025 Cobra Dark Speed Adapt Max-K. It’s going to give Ping a run for the 10K crown.
If you are serious about performance and buy a driver based on what looks better then you aren’t serious at all.
Good point
I mean pros even have preferences on how drivers look.
@@deleebar not ever at the expense of settling for less performance

This is my next test! Great shout bill!
If the carbon face wasn't trash, Tm would be the best driver out there.
Drop the loft on the TM to reduce the spin
Great shout Shaun!
I actually like the looks of the elyte
Youre missing Tour Edge and Cleveland Hi Bore XL
That will be included in upcoming videos 🙌🏼🙌🏼
@HowGoodGolf ill be looking out for that
Tried the hi bore on a whim, hasn’t left the bag, I’m a scratch golfer who normally has to play ls models because I am a high spin player but the hi bore just works and looks funky too.
Pings about to wreck both of these when it comes out.

Why present this data if you heel one and middle the other?
Is it cold?
I think the Elyte looks just as good

Did you forget Cobra or are they irrelevant!
Cobra max
