Seems I’ve mistakenly referred to heel weights when it should have been extra toe & back weights for my setup. Thanks to those that pointed it out in the comments.
No matter what the brand, this really shows the value of a driver fitting with a qualified fitter. This was a really good educational video.
Keepin’ it fun Gabe, great job again. Statistically, so few people have a fitted driver, the $100 should pay off. And considering the free hype the promo generates, its brilliant fro. PXG as always.
Always enjoy your tests. Another thing I like is that you are more the "Joe Golfer" as your drives are more like us instead of the ones who post "I carried that 297 and rolled out to 328". I just can't relate. Also, I'm 79 YO and am only driving 190-220 most of the time. 👍
Great video Gabe!!! Not sure if you were fit for the tsr3, but I was for by titleist fitters when I got my tsr2 and they added weight to the club head in the rear to make head heavier and closer to my stealth while putting me in a tensei blue 60 gram stiff shaft and the combo has made world of difference. Added some distance from my stealth but dispersion was tighter and eliminated my left miss. They also put me in flatter setting than what comes off rack……fitting it important and would love to see you do one the TSR with titleist guys and see if results would change
This was interesting Gabe! I learned a lot about fitting for sure! Now, will you make adjustments to your driver and if you do can show that results? Great piece! Thanks
Took the challenge yesterday at TPC San Antonio. I was pretty sure that the PXG could beat my Cobra Speedzone Extreme, and it did, but there was also a wow factor in some of the drives I hit with the PXG. Bought the one he set me up with, can't wait for it to get here!
Sweet, congrats!
Fascinating, thanks for another great video Gabe. As one who has been a PXG fan for years, this reinforces what I have been saying about their fitting program. Thanks again.
A great video. I got fitted for Gen 5 irons before Christmas and the PXG fitter was amazing. A one hour fit lasted 3 hours. My wife bought the irons as my Christmas gift. They are amazing. I am not surprised the guys at PXG got your dispersion down. What would be good would be to see how a fitting changes your Titleist performance. Then we would have an apples to apples comparison.
Gabe. Put your hosel in the B1 setting and move the weight in the back to T2. That will minimize the left just like the settings on the PXG.
Thanks for the tip. I certainly will try that.
Cool, you're in Tampa as well! Never looked at the "About" page until today. I'm located in Wesley Chapel! Thanks for sharing the video.
That dispersion improvement is insane!!! 👏 Cool video!!
I might just take a look at PXG in the future when it comes time to get a new driver. That probably will be a while but the fitting process seems to be top notch. I know there is a fitter for them here in the PNW so it might be worth going up and looking when the time comes to change out.
I would love to see you get fitted for that Titleist driver for comparison. If my memory serves me, I don’t remember you getting fitted. I seem to remember you just picking that club in your bracket challenge. (I’m sure the PXG shaft upgrade also helped.). However, one thing I love about PXG and PING drivers is the choice of having a FLAT setting. I too was told at a PXG fitting that my driver swing benefits from a flat setting. To my knowledge, only PXG and PING have this as a standard option on their tips. It has made a world of difference and I am loving my G430 MAX driver. Nice video Gabe!
Adding toe weight would make the Titleist play flatter because you get more toe droop from the shaft.
Thanks for sharing this Gabe! Question for you….did you get fit for your Titleist driver or was it just trial and error from your bracket series? Awesome.
Hi Gabe. That was good that they invited you to that fitting. See you are known by the brands. Maybe they will start sending you free clubs to review…. Enjoyed that video.
Really interesting information. Like the PXG woods.
Fantastic video Gabe
I didn’t get fitted but did buy an inexpensive pig 0211 driver and WOW does the ball explode off the face , it goes where I’m aiming every time! Best $200.00 I ever spent!!! 12 degree, senior riptide evenflow CB shaft!!!
So funny they put you in my exact driver/shaft/weighting/loft setting.
I “fit” this setup myself though.
I do love Pxg fitting process and clubs…played gen 4 irons and have gen 5 5 wood and nothing has come close for me in wood than that. Recently switched to new t 350/200 combo set and kept Pxg and won’t ever get rid of those irons
nice video! got plans to move to Tampa. hope to run into you someday
Love the video, Gabe!
Thanks!!
I wish it was more of a drastic difference. I bet a Calloway fitter could do the same. Your own confidence in the equipment is the real difference I would say. More wedge and putter reviews please. I really enjoy your content, and the on course content is my favorite. Thanks Gabe.
Thanks for watching. Yes, as the fall starts to set it and this summer heat subsides, I'll def be on the course more and more.
The way they count dispersion is bunk. It's averaging left and right by just adding numbers together, so if you miss left by 50 yards then miss the next one right by 50 yards,the average is dead on center. It's counted just the same as if you hit 10 yards left then 10 yards right. My old Callaway epic flash was 10 yards longer than the fitted pxg, but I "lost" because the pxg averaged to 6 feet off center vs 9 with mine. My driver was 29 left, 27 left, 29 right. Theirs was 17 left, 75 right, 75 left.
It's just not accurate as my driver was longer and straighter, I was ripped off
Let’s talk about that shirt. Best of luck Team USA but I’ll be cheering for Europe. No matter how it goes Golf wins - an awesome event but we need to fight back after last time.
Should be a fun one 🙌
Braid final result but one yard like you say is not anything for distance. But I would tweak the titleist and play around with a lie angle as well as other settings and dial it in and see if you can’t get close to this performance of the PXG. If you can have them go PXG because that dispersion is very critical. But give the Titleist tweaking a try first 👍
Great test!
You said he put weight in the heel, I thought I heard him say he put the weight in the toe, which helps slow down the face closing. Weight in the heel is more of a draw basis. Weight in the toe helps fade the ball. PXG made big improvements in their driver line this year and they have a good price point. I have tried their stuff over the years and never put in play. I’m making the switch from Callaway apex 19 to PXG 0311P irons this year.
This was really interesting. I guess the moral of the story is a great club fitter can help your game. I think it's awesome PXG is willing to put money on the line and challenge golfers like this.
Dispersion accuracy is a massive gain!
Hey Gabe, I’m curious, did Titleist fit the driver for you? Did you go through the same experience to buy it? I did a fitting with Club Champions and walked out with a Stealth driver and a shaft tipped for a senior flex because, like your experience, the numbers were better than anything else I tried. We even came back to the Stealth after 30 or 40 swings at the end and I was still longer and straighter with the Stealth. I am NOT trying to push a brand but I am advocating for the process. I feel like I have never been driving the ball as well as I am right now. I credit the fitting and the swing work I’ve been doing for that but more so the fitting. Yes, I ended up spending a lot more than I wanted to, but the only club I swing more than a driver is a putter, and so I look at it as money well spent. Really like this video and I too would recommend anyone thinking about a driver, go for a fitting as you will get so much more out of it.
I did get fit for the TSR but it was a much less comprehensive process for sure. As you mentioned, a good fitter can make all the difference.
@@LetsPlayThru I was not prepared for my fitting and I would never recommend a full bag fitting like I tried to do. In all there was probably 100+ shots including all the ones that were tossed. I gave up before we got to the woods.
Do you have an opinion on how big of an impact shafts make once you get past the amount of flex. In other words, stock vs custom,I have seen strong cases made for both sides of the argument
Well, I don’t think I could make blanket statement on that. Stock options will work for some people best and others need more custom. Each golf swing is different.
I do think with irons it makes much less difference than woods.
Will be interested to see if you put it in the bag or not.
Great video
Thanks!
Why not make the same adjustments on your Titleist and compare.
I def will be doing that
@@LetsPlayThru that would be a good video, comparing the two in the same same settings.
Put the driver fitters against each other at the same fitting! That’s the true test!
I'm confused because a weighted heel driver head promotes hitting it left not to the right. Putting the heavier weight on the toe would help against hitting it left.
I was fitted for 4 PXG clubs earlier this year, driver, 4 Wood and 4&5 Hybird. First time ever being fitted, it was a great experience, and the pro I worked with at the store was fantastic.
Interesting that you went with a 4 wood. I’m curious…what was the thinking behind that?
@@LetsPlayThru We tried a few things, and that's where we ended up, I can't remember if it was a gapping thing, or quality of hits. But we did go back and forth a few times to verify.
Ok nice, that’s all that matters in the end.
weight on the heel makes the face close. weight on the toe makes the face open. you have it backwards. weight = resistance. Look at any adjustable driver with a draw setting. weights always move to the heel. draw bias drivers are the same. look at a Cobra driver
I’d still keep the Titleist. 😉
I would too, but put the Titleist on its flat setting and a few grams of lead tape on the toe.
Yeah put it in the flat setting. My TSR2 is set at C4. flat and + 0.75° up.
All about the fitting. I would bet you could improve the fit of your tsr3
How hard is it to get fit by the maufacture? Go to a big box store and they have to fit every brand in the store. The PXG fitters fit one club all day every day.
Great befio
A lot of people go with the TSR3 at fittings. Watching TXG they can’t stop raving about the Titleist.
Hey man was wondering… M4 Driver (2021) or Tour edge Exotics C722?
C722
Take your surefit hosel to B1 or C1 to flatten your TSR3 then try it again.
Gabe, you absolutely have to test an iron set from Maltby. You can get 5-GW of their STi2 for $220 and I guarantee they will blow your mind! For $310 you can get 4-GW of their KE4 Max, which is the set I would recommend testing.
That’s a solid value for sure, I’ll try to make it happen
@@LetsPlayThru Awesome to hear! I've been gaming the KE4 Max and I think they're up there with the most forgiving clubs on the market. The STi2 are also highly regarded, and at $220 for a set, there's almost no reason for the beginner golfer to buy used sets.
So im a little confused. If you close the face on impact shouldnt you put more weight at the toe to try and keep more open? PXG is a good club though Ive got the gen 5 and it checks all the boxes. I switched to a ping 425 max for dispersion purposes but I never got fit and being 14 months into golf my swing is still changing. I think most fitters can get a lot more out of your clubs. IN my opinion confidence is key and if your confident in a club it goes in the bag.
Yes, he actually put them in both places. I may have mis-spoken on the video
How bad were the worse ones of your current be pxg? I hate when they strip out the bad shots because those bad shots are what most of us hit on the course and not on the range.
My opinion on fittings is they need be done over several sessions as we all have inconsistent swings and days. Along with that, is your current driver able to be modified with weights? A lot can be and I bet that would make a difference on your gamer. Maybe make it better dispersion.
The yardage difference is meaningless here as that is rounding error. I would say you do not need to change you driver as dropping another $500+ for whatever they fit you in is not worth it based on the numbers.
Kaboom Baby!
Did you think about putting that shaft in your own club to see if it’s the head or the shaft that’s making the difference?
What was the price of the pxg driver with upgrade shaft vs the titelist? 1 yard is nothing.
$499 + $100 so it’s the same price as the TSR …$599
I’m buying a new driver this winter.
Not sure what I will be buying, will be doing lots of testing.
Currently use the Calloway Rogue.
Awesome Dave, let me know what you end up with. BTW, how was the harvest this year?
It’s been quite the yr. Lots of rain to start the yr, then the tap turned of late June.
It’s not the crop I’m used to having but thankful for what I have. There are areas way worse then me.
I will still be able to take a couple golfing trips this winter … who knows maybe into your area again.
Have around 37% left to harvest.
Take Care.
I love and play pxg but wouldn’t a fairer challenge be keeping your same shaft and just testing different heads? Might be all the upgrade shaft that made the difference.
I think he said he put the weight in the toe at the 8:00 mark. Putting the weight in the toe does indeed slow the toe down preventing a hook.
Can you review the non tech volcano torched irons driver and wedges
Not non, Bomb tech
There have some photos surfaced about Costco Kirkland brand introducing a driver and should retail for $199.99.
Yes indeed. Should be very exciting
You get fit for your swing on that day, but you take both those same clubs and do it again a different day and you will see your gamer will most likely outperform it due to familiarity
How much did you warm up ahead of time?
Quite a bit. I hit a bunch of balls in my sim before driving over. Then I hit more when I got there. They give you as much time as you need.
Could have laid the TSR3 in the flat setting and beat the PXG
Never been fitted and probably never will bc I live in a rural area with the closest place being about 100 miles away I'll stick with what I have. I actually have been playing a cobra f8 set to 9°. No clue honestly on the shaft because it just says "acuity" no flex or weight lol. I am under the impression it's a cheap shaft as it seems acuity is some sort of off the shelf cheap brand at like dicks or other big box sporting goods stores. Driving this year for me has been solid! Only hitting 230-250 but straight with the occasional pull.
Now that’s what I call entertainment! Now, just refit the TSR3 to the PXG specs and I’ll bet you’ll be extremely happy!
Thanks Mark
There is no "X" model. Where'd they find this guy?
Pxg is hard to beat
He didn’t bet you. He bet everyone
I dare say go to any brand with any driver and theyll beat it somehow
Put the titleist flat and tow weighted
Why not put the TSR3 in the flat setting and compare it to the PXG ?
Yes def will be doing that
Time to adjust your driver flat and more weight on the toe. TSR3 is adjustable.
If you adjust the T driver maybe better!
hold on a second that's a one yard advantage on a driver you've only hit 5 times up against your regular driver you've hit hundreds of times how far could you hit this pxg driver once you were use to it another major point is custom fitting no matter if its an iron or driver being proffessionly fitted is always going to help brilliant video I know you never got your 100 but didn't you learn a lot from the data
That’s a very good point
I know for a fact, the Mizuno STZ 230 can beat the Titleist.
Your friend Is driving using the red markers, shame on him.
This has nothing to do with the driver. It’s all about the fitting. Shows that there is a HUGe difference between fitters.
So, get a fitting by a titleist pro…100% guarantee the TSR3 beats PXG all day long…
so what we learned here was that getting fitted for your clubs matters. Don't most serious golfers know this already?
More so that very small adjustments matter. I was fitted for my TSR as well, but as I’ve gotten to be a better ball striker and my handicap gets lower its harder and harder to pick up an edge.
Another interesting lesson for me was that for years I’ve been +1° upright with my irons. Always assumed that carried thru to my driver. I learned I was in fact flat with driver. So again, assumptions are dangerous and micro adjustments matter.
Just flatten your lie on the Titleist.
4 shots vs 3 shots and the 4 shots lose by 1 yard. so lets remove the other shitty shot from the 4 shots and then youll have 3 v 3 and your driver will win out instead......
You stand so far from the ball
Complete scam. The gen 6 went 30 yards further than my driver. They definitely changed the distance settings when they switched the clubs on the computer.
I seriously doubt a big company like PXG would jeopardize their reputation doing something like that. Specially when you would have to depend on the fitters to go along with it. Sooner or later the information would leak out. Accusing PXG of pulling a scam without any evidence to back it up is not appropriate. Try their clubs and maybe you can have a better opinion.
@@frankperez526 I use pxg irons which I was fit for. Was also fit for my cobra Aerojet. No chance the gen 6 driver is 30 yards longer.
I just don’t see them or any other company doing it. It would destroy their reputation and not worth it.
What weight was the KuroKage?
I've never looked down at a PXG driver and didn't like the look! 🐊🏌🦅🇺🇸⛳️
Definitely sharp looking throughout the line
