Outstanding video. I really dig Mr. Krank’s calmness. I think if their product line looked more toned down visually they’d be getting a lot more purchase intent.
One thing I love about the Krank driver is they give you a very generous high/toe area where I usually end up on a miss. The $150 off coupon makes it competitively priced. The biggest reason I ended up passing was the only two choices of a shaft were ones I was not familiar with.
I have one myself. This is the best driver I have ever had in my hands. Used a PXG and a Callaway Rogue (fitted) before that. The Krank is the best one I have ever owned.
I made the switch too. First thing I noticed was not the extra spring, but it just seems straighter. I need to hop on the launch monitor and get data, but on course, just been solid.
It's very true what he said about advertising, I think most people would never buy a driver from a small brand like this until it was endorsed by some professional or youtuber. I remember seeing these drivers a while ago and thinking they were cool but I didn't consider buying one until now. I also never would have bought anything kirkland branded lol.
I have a ball speed of 190 - 195mph and would love to get fit or at least try one of these drivers. I live near their HQ... i reached out to them and they dont do any fittings or have any locations to offer fittings. very odd. I know for 1 they are missing out of sales because of this. at least from me.
The tools online allow you to fit yourself, most golf club fittings are a sales tool anyway, they want to sell you a dream and then some clubs, I like the honesty of just filling in your height, swing speed. I find it’s encouraging me to get the data myself and from that I’m learning and more importantly, being honest with myself! I’ve just ordered and I’m from the UK!
Good stuff here Nick. I actually broke two drivers last year a ping and a stealth and I swear I don't hit it past 280 usually. I think you all sold me on trying the krank!
Love the video nick! This is awesome. Krank is such a sweet product, gained accuracy and distance putting it in my bag! Really cool to hear the history and the differences in their drivers
Just got this Krank Formula Fire Pro 9* had a rattle in the head after 3 rounds they replaced it. These drivers are no joke. They are incredibly long and straight. Customer Service is fantastic. Only downside is yes they are not the best to look down at but when you see the ball flight you get over the looks very quickly!
Mygolfspy is half pay to win from the manufacturers. Krank doesn’t have taylormade or callaway to be front of the pack. Besides that, they’re made for swing speeds only few can hit- as in 115mph isn’t fast enough to get the full effect of the face. You have to be swinging 125+ to really get the face to get a proper rebound.
This is awesome. Would love to try out the driver sometime. I was fortunate to try out the irons he used at the Masters earlier this week (the 3D printed ones).
btw youre not using Bryson's Driver, his driver is fully customized , has different head size, different loft. He wont even talk about it yet so yeah you can only suppose what he is using. So technicaly youre not playing with Brysons driver, youre only playing with bryson's driver brand
Bro no shit 😂. That's the same as saying your not using brysons driver ypu didn't get it out of brysons bag. The club is the same technology just different lofts shafts and grips
Not exactly the same. Bryson is using the LD head. That's formula fire pro. I have the pro and I need to spend more time with it. I have the same shaft setup on the FFP 7.5 degree head and my ping g430 LST set to 7.5 that I've been gaming for a year. I'm getting the same carry and ball speeds out of them. If I'm honest I have gotten 1-2mph faster ball speed with the Krank. Technically the shaft in my Krank is 1/4 of an inch longer so I'm not blown away by such similar ball speeds. 163mph ball 290 carry. I'm no banger like yourself, yet
@oozu-maki4488 yes, but the krank is impressive that I've hit maybe 40 balls with it and it goes toe to toe with my ping. My miss is towards the toe and the krank doesn't feel as friendly as the ping does, but the krank does feel stupid good with center strikes. You should try the new tech my guy. I catch one bottom face with my 430 LST and it keeps the ball speed up pretty wildly. I get terrible miss hits on occasion that only loose 20-30 yards. Lol
@@noworriesman Yeah, I wish I could but I don't got that kind of money lol. But I am not too worried about my current set anyways. Feels good to me and I did not break the bank. And at the end of the day, I still am the one swinging the club so I only have myself to blame on a shitty shot.
I just wish their drivers werent so ugly, id be wayyy more inclined to give them a shot if they just had an all flat black option or some option with not as much red and silly flames on it. I dont really like stealths for this same reason but i will say its much much better looking than the krank, its more elogantly done than bright red and frames if that makes sense. I think the visual aspect of a driver to a golfer is a huge deal.
lol my ping 10k will come in tomorrow. Would love to put the two head to head and check out the results. For straight flight, not distance. I have plenty of that
What works for Bryson may not work for you. Never be a bandwagon follower. Get fitted for your driver and fairway woods. Take plenty of practice swings with all sorts of different brands clubs. Most really good golf outfitters will have an indoor or even outdoor range with a good selection of clubs to try. The only thing about Bryson's strategy/philosophy on clubs I'm beginning to come around to his one shaft length for all the iron clubs. This makes for a more consistent swing on all of your clubs. You would of course have to take plenty of range time because of this to determine your club lengths with the new shaft lengths.
You mean is Lance Reader's driver any good... Feel like you kinda snubbed him with giving all the glory to Bryson. Update that title bro! Or at least the description. I kept going, what's this dude's name again? You didn't really mention his name anywhere, LOL
Finally. I've been playing Krank drivers and occasionally the fairway woods. Easy to hit. Long. Durable.....but ugly. Can you tell Lance that flames were played out in 1998? I love the driver, if golf were played in the dark, it would be perfect.
For 100% of people watching this video it does not matter what you play with. You are not consistent enough with your swing. Don’t waste your money on this junk.
Bryson shot even par over 6 holes with a Walmart junior set in a recent video, so I think there is a strong "archer vs. arrow" case to be made.
This is true, but fitting a great archer with the best arrows only makes them that much better.
Yeh he shot even par with bad clubs. And shot a -14 with good clubs. That’s the difference
@@l8Os-12 actually
@@user-pw3qb1fn5r didn’t he shoot a 58? That’s -14

@zazzy8786 I'm using the RDX black on my 7 degree driver and the RDX blue on the 9 deg.
Bryson hits it slightly off the toe on purpose
I don't though lol
When you actually win a couple of majors and almost win a WLD title, your evaluation and opinion might count for.somerhing.
It’s good for Bryson. There’s no denying that.
I love your chill raw style of video. It’s great content and interesting
Lance needs to be on the website explaining the durability and uniqueness of the face etc.
Great video, nothing like listening the owner's pov....Thank you!!!
I have one myself. This is the best driver I have ever had in my hands. Used a PXG and a Callaway Rogue (fitted) before that. The Krank is the best one I have ever owned.
Stock shaft (which I think is a speeder) or aftermarket?

Yes ball really takes off
Krank is what the hammer X wanted to be. I give em mad props

bro its a must, you will not regret it

Wonder which model mygolfspy tested. They said it was the shortest driver in their 2024 driver testing.

"we have probably 40 women hitting Krank here" sounds like a partay
After watching this I'm definitely going to be buying a krank
I just got one love it!
Ordered up the FF Pro after the Masters $200 off code went live. Should arrive this friday just in time for the weekend. Cant wait!
Which shaft did you use Nick?
Good video bro! First vid ive seen of yours but you seem pretty chill and seem to be pretty level headed. Good vibes, keep up the good work!!!
Awesome video. What shafts were everyone playing?
The older dude with the sunglasses is a walking Cialis commercial 😂😂😂
Why? Must be some kind of inside joke for those who can't get it up I guess ?
@@donjoe2661 Naw you just know uncles slaying fresh gash on the daily
Great vid and great to see the transition of the long driver to a player.
Good to hear the history and meet the guy.
Krank Driver is one of the best i used to hit with a Callaway Epic max and now with the Krank driver forget it. I will not change for another driver
Great driver, now I birdie on most of my par 5's
How is the forgiveness???
Would love to see a video with comparison with other drivers!
At 190mph ball speed, driver face can flatten quickly. How about at 160mph, will the face still get deformed over time?
Doubt it
Dude I love this video. So glad I just found this channel. Subscribed and looking forward to lots of content like this
what shaft setup do you have?
*Drives the green* "That's on the green"
Proceeds to 3 putt LMFAO
Great editing bro!!
Ordered mine!! Thanks
This is awesome. Would love to try out the driver sometime. I was fortunate to try out the irons he used at the Masters earlier this week (the 3D printed ones).
What loft was the driver you’re using?
What loft and shaft did you use on your krank driver
I use mine at 10.5. The ball launches on a 45-degree launch and just keeps going. Gained 30-40 yards a few shots 50 yards.
Great content! I love in Phoenix, what course was this at?
looks like Seville, private course in south gilbert
How are the fairway woods? Are they made from the same materials?
+1
As European golfer...........31:02 This is not a golfcourse..............it's a driving range.............. ?
different tee boxes. Also depending where you are, it doesn't rain as much as it does in Europe. Especially if they're in CA lol

Wow. I wonder if Bryson's head really did flatten during the US open now or if he just thought it might have.
he flattens faces about every other week if you watch his youtube. he keeps about 20 heads on stand by
@@r10fishing58 I do but I didn't think he did when he switched to Krank heads
It's crazy they say they don't break. I have busted 2 El Diablo so they do break.

I'm using 80 gram Hzrdus Black TX in both. 45.75" in the Ping, 46" in the Krank

Hey Nick, I am a Sr. golfer but I really enjoy your videos. I am curious, how tall are you?
I use to be a long driver I have the fire and the cobra arrow jet ld and for me cobra all day long
Where can I get them?I am in Taiwan.😊
This owner is fascinating!!!
Smfh you cant test it without the T1100 makes the world of difference!
Well have to say it, "best driver I have ever hit", love it worth the money.

Ha I apologize. Didn't realize that was the Krank guy in the video
I have a ping driver, Titleist. Now the Krank. I can smoke a shot with the Krank
9:48 to 10:05 so much gold!

Krank website needs some work. Deff gives off strong Hammer X/gimmick vibes
Some advice: It's the player, not the driver.
sold hah
If your ball speed is above 195 it’s good lol
its better for slower ball speeds, thinner face than the leading brands which means you'll get more spring effect which means the ball will go further
I think you should try to get Bryson on your channel.
It's not overrated... You're just not good enough to hit it properly
Bryson just won the US Open after “flattening” the face of his Krank driver on the range before the final round. 🤷🏻♂️

Been using crank for 15 years.Looks mean nothing.Distance means everything so keep using it and look at the ball not the head
