*Did I make the correct decision?*
Scots youtube pro Steve Johnson recently changed to that driver
Watched enough of your content and what I've seen I think you made the right decision. Seen you excited about hitting your other driver but nothing like this excitement with hitting the Wilson. Makes me want to consider getting the Wilson.
Whatever works best for you. I play golf with someone who purchased a driver at the golf show. It was in a barrel with a bunch of others. They were all new but no name brand. That was 17 years ago. He hits it straight around 270. He paid 50 bucks for it and refused to buy a new one. He has a 1500 set of irons, not including his wedges and putter, so it definitely is not because he doesn't have the money. Like he says, if it isn't broken, why try to fix it?
Just remembe to keep an eye out for the face... Had some where the face got small bumbs after being hit hard
I would just loft the ping down. Keep the great forgiveness lower the flight and gain ball speed from lower loft
I purchased the Ping Max 10k and absolutely HATED it! I averaged 250 total with my old Ping 400 Max, but only got 225 with the new Max 10k. After a few rounds, I took it back. I had the Dark Speed in mind next. But while I was waiting for a shaft change, I picked up the Wilson Carbon and instantly fell in love with it. The carry was 250, 270-275 total. Needless to say, I walked out with the Wilson.
Who remembers when Wilson were pretty much the best clubs you could get!? Oh take me back to the 80s and I'll happily have a full bag of Wilsons...
Wilson Staff👌
They still are, just no one carries them in their shops!
When i started playing in the late 70's WStaff was the cadillac of golf clubs.
Only you can decide what will be the winner. You hit it marvelously. Put the other one in the garage. IF this one begins to let you down, go back to the previous one. Go for it.
The Dynapower driver constantly gets amazing reviews yet people often seem reluctant to put it in the bag, favouring the more "sexy" big 3 of TM, Cal and Ping. People forget the scorecard doesnt care what brand you're hitting. Great video alex, i really like this channel
For sure couldn’t agree more with this comment 🙌🏼
Its also what those other ytubers are contracted to use. Theyll never tell u though lol.
Sincerely, it’s awfully looking. When I buy something, I want it to be both performant and nicely appealing to my eye.
All other drivers look better.
wow did not see that comin now you have me intrigued ohhhh boy cheers from Vulcan Canada
Wilson is stepping it up. But the QI max was the best for me during my fitting, so it is in my bag.
I have used it for the past 12 months, great driver, gives me lots of confidence. Haven't looked back.
I got fit and got my Ping 10k today and absolutely love it, but now I see you with the Wilson, I should of tried it....Thanks Alex.....lol
Great review. Can you review the black ops standard driver
Great video alex, I've been looking at the wilson driver for a while, im already wilson irons and wedges.
Well chuffed. I love Wilson clubs. Have just bought the irons will save up for the driver
Hi Alex, If your looking to rehome that PING, ring me up! Great video as always
Thanks for the review Alex, I have always loved wilson irons, I have never tried a driver of theirs. At 12:43your tee height looks low, maybe just the camera angle? Or do you usually tee it up a bit lower like that?
Yeah i like to tee it up low at the range and in general to be honest!
Wilson kicks out Ping. I love it, I suspected it. 👍how about a bit older driver the Callaway Epic Max LS, 2017 Taylormade M1 and Cobra Speedzone drivers? Not the Xtreme version SZ, just regular.
These drivers kicked severe butt when our. Lol
I still use my Epic Max LS it rocks
Just got one. The carbon dynapower. LOVE IT
Wilson is so underrated.
I bought the D9 Forged irons, TG wedges & Infinite putter & they are by far the best clubs I’ve ever owned. But nothing can beat my Rogue driver. 🤷
Agree!
Virtually my set up D9 forged are unreal, I use the D9 Driver too it’s great
I've been rock'n Wilson for the last 3 years! Bang for the buck can't be beat!
Tried the Wilson yesterday for the first time. Immediately felt heavier than my normal driver and sits toed in.
Like you I found the flight to be perfect. I think Wilson missed the boat on this driver by pricing it slightly lower than TM, Callaway etc. if they did Cobra F9 pricing I recon this would fly off the shelf.
I’m holding back as I hear there could be a new one round the corner. 🤞🏻
Great review as always
The Wilson was £120 lower than the Taylormade and £30 cheaper than the cobra.
Have not tried wilson driver,im hitting mizuno stz that i bought 3yrs ago which replaced my taylormade sim drive . My stz is a fairway finder but now i my have to check out the wilson thanks for the review and helping my golf game
Yeah i think it’s defo worth trying!
Alex another hreat review. I chNged my Ping G430 to the Dynapower driver, and I boy what a difference it has mad to my game.😊, just keep this great content going.
Thanks!! oh nice change 🙌🏼🙌🏼
I had my whole set of dynapower fitted last year. My driver is titanium n I love it. The only thing I don't like is the hybrid. But the iron set n the driver A class. Coming from a high high handicapper. Love u vids Alex.
Love this! And thank you, glad you enjoyed it!
Sweet ball flight 👍👍
I agree the ping has a very “tinny” sound and from my experience all their clubs are made with the idea of height and getting the ball airborne. However the Wilson, from my perspective sounded more solid and if you are after a driver with workability ie can draw or fade this sounds to have the answers. You certainly looked to have much more control of the ball with the Wilson than with the ping although the latter having more height would possibly be fairway finder on any tight hole. Although having just seen your golf swing I am sure you hit most fairways anyway. Great review by the way!
Interesting test. Nice looking driver. Maybe they should have branded it the ‘Wilson Dark Horse’, Alex?
Yeh true!!
Sorry Alex but thats not the proper Ventus blue it must say Velocore on the shaft for it to be the legit aftermarket one, that's just a made for manufacturer shaft not the premium version.
That’s a mass produced snider.. definitely not a proper Ventus
And yet somehow it performed brilliantly. Enough to think about in your game without obsessing over whether the shaft is legit.
@@ianrobertson1647 I used to be a shaft junkie, my nephew is a tour fitter with Titliest but I don’t see the big deal
@@ianrobertson1647you said the shaft was expensive, the shaft is not an upgrade nor is it a genuine ventus, regardless how well you hit it
@jimlock6152 what is hos name? I should know him
I’ve been really impressed with Wilson this last year or so. I think they should stick with Dynapower and Staff as their 2 lead product lines.
Hit the damn club already. Sweet Jesus
Yes correct choice with ping
Still using the Cobra LTDX LS, bought it at a discount, i wish i bought a more forgiving driver but i hit the middle a lot. Had a lesson, stopped the banana slice and have it way more under control. It’s a good club. Just need to improve. In my opinion there is no quick fix or one peice of equipment that makes up for a bad swing and contact. I’ll keep my driver and work on my game
That’s true!
Wilson Staff is the most underrated brand out there!!
Agree!
Thank you for this video I will be getting a new driver within the next couple of months and have tested the Paradigm Smoke, new Ping, new Taylor Made and new Cobra, I hit the Smoke the best. Thank to you, I will do some research on this Wilson. It looks like you made the right decision
Great stuff 🙌🏼🙌🏼
That’s a lovely looking driver from Wilson.
If more TH-camrs did reviews on Wilson could see more and more people using them. It’s only the fact most only do too brands
Great point!
Thanks fur another great review Alex. Since you said this is geared more for higher swing speeds what would your best option be for s bit lower swing speed? Say around 86mph.
I would say a ping would be a good option. Little more spin for a slightly lower swing speed will help you hit it longer
@HowGoodGolf thanks for the advice
My handicap has went down each year for the past 5 years . The one constant has been the same driver, which for me says I don’t need to change drivers every year in order to improve .
Great video! Both seem like great drivers. Glad to see you testing underrated brands like Wilson.
Played my D10 for 8 years and have been ballin with M6 since it’s come out. I like the flat black with carbon. It’s got to look sexy at address.
Agree 🔥
Get rid of the Ping(over priced media babble) In Canada Ping 10K $879.99. Wilson Dynapwr Carbon $599.99. Even the Cobra Darkspeed is only $699.
You can‘t compare heads with different shafts. And range balls are complete different. I allways wonder about these computer guys.
Switched from TM Stealth 2 to the Wilson Carbon after a Wilson Demo Day at our club. Would never tried that if the Wilson guy did not insisted and I wanted to be polite.
Best driver I have ever hit. Goes farther and is much more forgiving. Just because you don’t believe it doesn’t mean it isn’t true 😂.
Wind assisted too😂
I guess people don't consider Wilson because they are a sports manufacturer vs. a golf manufacturer? Or maybe the department store sets? If you have these biases get over it. Wilson golf is doing some great things.
I hit my Krank 3wood 13+ and then I asked for a hit of my mates new a Paradym today, sounded good to me, felt Ok hit it as hard as I would my old XXio and the 3 wood. and I couldn't believe how short it went, my 3 wood was 12m past it.
not looking for a paradym , may look at the wilson, Qi10
I've seen some seriously good reviews of this driver.
I know right!!!
I’m full bag Wilson phenomenal clubs, there as good if not better than anything out there for a lot cheaper price too
Didn’t know Vice made range balls (11:01/17/:08) but I’m sure Wilson should be tried like all the other manufacturers.
Looking for a new big dog keep opening up my mind . Thanks
Would you consider trying one of the "Krank" drivers that DeChambeau uses? My clubmaker now handles them and is sold on them.
Yeah!! i need to try them
Have you tried last years Tour Edge C723? Would love to hear your opinion on it.
Great suggestion
Frankly, I've had it with the latest "super drivers". I've got 9 of them in the basement, accumulated over the years. I bought the Cobra F6 driver when it came out with good reviews. To date it's my favorite. When the F9 "best driver in the world" came out I bought it, thiinking a significant step up from my F6...NOT! With my F6, it seems I can hit it just about any place on the face and not lose anything. Not so with the F9, which I played for most of a season. Oh well, I guess it depends if you want to spend hundreds for an extra 3-5 yards, not even a club length for your second shot.
Another story about driver sound. In my collection I have an old Cleveland all titanium Launcher driver. I remember going to the range to warm up for a corporate outing. After hitting a few balls with this driver, those next to me asked if I ever use ear protection when teeing off. Ear-piercing loud!
Not gonna lie, that ventus doesn't look like its got a velocore on it.
I don't believe for one second that he's gaming a Wilson Dynapower.
I certainly am 😎
with a "made for" bologna ventus as well.
The Wilson driver seems great! By the way their new blades are probably the best looking Players Club I've seen in 10 years! Check them out, even their game improvement irons are a handsome set!
Remember people. Unless your swing is exactly like his. The best driver for him may not be the best driver for you. You need to test them yourself. Everybody’s different.
agree :)
Don't put the ping in the bin, pass it on to a struggling high handicapper oap . Me please 😊
i have the titanium version and i tried all the top drivers last year i did find the carbon too low spinning but im a 19 h/c . Not only does it perform it was a lot cheaper than its competitors . Nice to see Wilson being tried
Was it the Ventus shaft in the Ping tho ? Looks like it was the standard shaft option
No correct it wasn’t but that’s the setup I was gaming in the ping and liked the standard shaft to be fair
Have you tried the PXG black ops? I gained 50 yards compared to my Sim 2 max.
I need to!
I am gaming this driver, and I love it.
…has to be my favorite driver of all time ‘right now’. 😂
Absolutely!
I was wondering if you have reviewed the PXG gen 6 irons?
‘No i haven’t yet but that is a great suggestion
@@HowGoodGolf I’d love to see it. Maybe someday you will.
give us the facts thats it regards
Would like to see a review of the titanium.
Great idea
Could you test a Krank driver
yesss defo
i just watched another video of you getting fitted for a driver and you never hit this club. So are you using this Wilson driver or the Taylor Made QI10?
I hit the Ping in the fitting video, now gaming TM Qi10 - the ping wasn’t consistent or forgiving enough for me
Stealth Gloire
Why havent you tested black ops PXG
I will do!
Can you test the Honma drivers
yesss 🔥 great idea
The only way to really know is try a ping g430 10k in 9 degree with same shaft
I would seriously like you to hit the new COSTCO driver that at presently embroiled in that suit with Taylormade.
Great suggestion !
I'll bet you could have hit the ping farther had you done so after hitting the Wilson.
This sounds like a paid commercial for the Wilson Dynapower driver.
Well it certainly wasn’t! I’m not attached to any brand 🙌🏼
Wilson used to be a Walmart brand. They have stepped up their game big time.
I still don't use them them
How about testing a Ping iSI titanium from 1998. They’re on ebay for as little as $15 USD.
Great idea
@@HowGoodGolf I read that it was the driver of choice for long drive competitors before specialized drivers came along.
In the year or so since it released I haven’t seen a single negative word said about the Wilson dynapower … and the sound of ping drivers make them simply unplayable to me I cannot stand the sound
I love the sound of Ping drivers because they annoy my mate. 😂
@@andybt3989 Then you should give a try for Cleveland drivers... they are just ear ringers... your friend´s tinnitus would´ ve a field day 😅
No Ping forever!!!!
In your other video, you said the 10k sounded like a normal driver as opposed to the older model. Now you say it sounds awful?
Yeah it must have just been where / when i hit it
Giv3 m3 ur old driver I'll let u know if u made the right decision 😂😂😂😂
That Ping looks and sounds ugly. Results matter though in driver.
More hitting less talking!
Anyone else not have sound on this video?
Must have been something your end, sorry!
Sounds like an empty barrel.
This guy is the queen of clickbaits
Am i?
It’s not helping slow swing speed golfers
Its a ventus....a stock ventus....not a ventud with velcore technology though....i mean whatever...but if your making a video for people trying to get them to trust your expertise you probably shouldn't say its a velocore when its just stock.... ✌️
Okay boss!
You so talking pish ma man ,,, pish total pish
I’ll talk more pish next time for you 😘😘
Wonder if Scottsdale will see it that way.@@HowGoodGolf
That wasn’t a range ball which you claimed it was. Check the close up. Total BS and techno jargon to mask a blatant promotion. Unsubscribing.
100% a range ball. I used the vice ball on the close up as I use these golf balls in all my videos. Trust me I can’t afford to hit premium golf balls like that down a range lol.
Feel like you talk wayyyy to much, hit the balls and them talk about it. Don't hit one, then talk for 5 mins then hit another. Kinda turned me off. Just my opinion
Thanks for tuning in anyway appreciate the feedback :)
QI10 is the way forward #eastanglianairambulance #togetherwesavelives #edga #disabilityawareness #shotscope #vicegolf #cobra #taylormade #proshotgolfclub #disabilityinsport #huofficialclothing
What do you think of the Wilson?
@HowGoodGolf love the look of it, wasn't able to test it locally so went QI10
I’ve just got this driver and it does feel as good as it looks. Definitely an underrated club that should be tried alongside the big guns and a brucie bonus it’s also a lot cheaper 👍
Besides it not being a proper Ventus Blue shaft, whatever type of launch monitor you're using is rubbish also. Your first swing was 1.49 smash Factor and it was a mile away from the center of the Club face! Impossible.. also there were times when you had the exact same spin rate and smash factor and Club head speed and it was 12 yards different in yardage! On the other side there were times when you were 5 mph slower with a worst smash factor in the ball went farther than the previous drive... also I've seen you at a supposed 1 1 4 Mi per hour Club head speed and today starting at 1:02 and going to 108 tells me that thing is a piece of junk...
Okay haha… are you suggesting the swing sim is wrong? not sure what you are getting at
