Driver: Old v. New ... big difference?
a jackass is a jackass and said jackass' opinion means nothing, regardless.
this applies to let's play thru and any minions he may have.

Par4QC If there would be any visual comparison that 'might' be close, it would be with a Titleist driver head
My nephews first thought was it looked like a Titleist. It is an original design from Southern California Design Company.
If you had a boat load of money you could go to them and they could do all facets of making a golf club. From design to manufacturing to marketing.

rsvman2 Agreed. It might be a great driver, but it is by no means the same as the Mizuno
Performance wise it is. I think the takeaway from Let’s Play Thru and Rick Shiels is that the quality and performance of the Kirkland is there for a third of the price of the main OEM’s.

Same as golf forums. Blah, blah, blah. lol YouTube is a fantastic medium. You can find all kinds of things of interest. From nonsense to informative. From Penny the talking cat to the rise and fall of the third reich, to how to fix things. They all want clicks and likes. It’s how they make money.

Totally agree, and I stand by my statement that that clown is a blah blah KING.
I use YouTube frequently for home, car repairs and maintenance, guitar lessons, etc. It's a gold mine. I'm just not impressed by this particular Tuber.

That's fine you don’t like his personality. His results were the same as Shiels. I bet dollars to donuts that (again) had he given the SMT irons a positive review you wouldn't see anywhere near the vitriol against his videos like you're seeing here now.
Back in the early days of FGI the late Steve Almo private messaged me and told me what was what. So just know that a lot of this is baked in over many years. You dare go against the grain, certain people will come out of the woodwork.
FGI was a huge component site back then. If you liked OEM's you were told to get on the bus or get run over by it. lol That bus is now all rusted out and in a junk yard somewhere. lol But old habits die hard.
Cool story bro, and as usual, your view of things is way off base.
A jackass is a jackass, no matter what spin you put on it to make you feel better about liking said jackass, when most everybody else does not.
Spuzzy knows what's what. Transparent as glass.

Holding grudges is hard work. I’m just here for a good time.
C'mon Sneaky. I'm trying to not like this clown and you're sucking all the fun out of it.

Ha, ha. 
The clown appeared to get it right as far as the Kirkland driver goes though. lol At least he agreed with everyone's favorite golf YouTuber Rick Shiels.
Bottom line is this. If you're looking for a modern driver with the latest tech regarding distance and forgiveness then the Kirkland driver checks all the boxes. And it costs 1/3 of the price. That should be the takeaway.
I could understand the attacks if he didn't like the Kirkland driver. But he did. So it's not a stretch to look at the motive. He committed the crime of not liking a set of irons that many here took offense.
Looking forward to what my nephew finds. Again, he has a swing speed of ~ 109 mph and has an aggressive swing. He can be wild off the tee. But at least if he's in the woods off the tee (odds are he still will be) it will have cost him a lot less to be in the trees. lol

I'd probably buy one if I could get a senior flex, but not based on his review. There's just something about getting clubs from COSTCO that seems cool. I loved their wedges but the putter was too light for me even with the heaviest weights. The quality looks to be very good on all their clubs.
