Titleist GT Driver Sound Test

Callaway APEX Ai300 Iron review - elegant game improvement design with tour level sound and feel
zhlédnutí 4,6KPřed 21 dnem
You’ll be hard-pressed to find a more elegant design in a game-improvement iron than the new Apex Ai300. This cavity back iron has a slightly larger profile than the Ai200, but that’s to be expected based on the audience it’s geared towards. You’ll find plenty of similarities in the Ai300, however. The same Forged 455 Face Cup is present in this model, which by design would make for a truly uni...
Callaway APEX Ai200 Players Distance Irons Review

The player's distance iron category is evolving rapidly. At its inception, this category of iron was designed to help better players who still need an added layer of forgiveness and distance. Apex has had multiple models that have fit this bill, and the new Ai200 is a culmination of predecessors and modern technology. Callaway is categorically calling this hollow-body design its most advanced o...

      This is Pete from AG. Everyone's swing is different - Blaire hits it really high and is very long and straight off the tee. I just played with him at Torrey South this week and can definitely attest that he's in the right shaft (for him). If you're referring to Mr. Short Game (Matt) I'm fairly certain he uses a stiff shaft, as his swing speed isn't as fast as Blaire's. I'm happy to refer you to a fitter if you're interested in seeing what Fujikura Ventus might be able to do for you. Thanks for watching and subscribing!

      Hi it's Pete. I'm in the video.

  • @tomt.2385

    Did I hear correctly that two same driver heads could perform differently and require different shafts? If true, shouldn’t we get fitted for a shaft after the head arrives to the shop?

    • @AmateurGolf
      @AmateurGolf Před 16 dny

      At the highest level it's true, but a golfer that isn't as consistent won't notice minor variations as much. We are talking about very small differences from head to head. When you get fit, you will order a club to be built. In most cases it won't be the one you were trying. Unless you have access to a Tour van. Maybe that's why they are so good! Thanks for paying close attention.

      @AmateurGolf Před 20 dny

      Absolutely. You aspire to bring that number down and either the Ai200 or 300 are good tools to get there. I say that because they've engineered Tour sound and feel into both models, in addition to clean looks and the optimized face. I still think you should hit both on a launch monitor. Most bigger golf stores have them and these will be shipping 8/23. Need help finding a place to do that?

    Pretty well identical numbers when you average them out. In the end, there is less than 1 yard of average carry distance. Actually, only about 2 feet! As for the ball going to the right with the max model, that’s what the track weight is for just slide it a bit towards the heel to correct that issue. The spin numbers on the triple diamond are actually almost higher than with the standard max in some cases. I don’t see why someone would want to go with non-adjustability and lose the track weight sliding for the sake of weights that you can swap back-and-forth when there isn’t even 5 yards of difference in distance.I would much rather have the driver with the alignment arrow on the face and have some versatility with the sliding track weight since the distances on average there’s only 2 feet that’s not even enough to make a different club selection for your next shot. Seems like the triple diamond max is simply a waste of money and just an extra cash grab to give someone an extra option.
