Essentially less than 10 yds total distance if you throw out the SLDR, which he stated was the most inconsistent/least forgiving, just higher launch and lower spin with the SLDR/r15 vs. the r11s/r1 and the m1/m2 right in the middle...still less than 10 total yds. Would have loved to have him describe the ball flight without looking at the numbers. He dies explain the subtle differences between them and even he did not care for the SLDR despite having the best numbers of the ones that hit the fwy.

R11 and R1 I hit well, hated the SLDR, never hit the R15, and jury's still out on the M2. Rocketballz Stage 2 was a good one, too........

Sounds about right, what we all know but ignore when the new models come out. I would concur with the sldr- longest driver when nutted, but not forgiving. I'm sure when he does the ping test it will be similar results. It would be interesting to see a test that compares off center hits to see the forgiveness differences in all the models.

That's where the gains have been made, for sure. Both in direction control and loss of distance.

I am currently bagging a M2. Probably the most forgiving driver I have ever owned and I have had a bunch.

What I would love to see is for him to add one of the old TM Burner drivers made from 2004-2006 into the mix. My guess is it would be just as good as the R11.

Last year at our yearly fundraising golf tournament, the guy who won longest drive was actually hitting a TM 320 Ti, released by TM in the year 2000. There were actually two guys at the tournament hitting that driver, and both of them were among the best in terms of distance. And those old drivers were obviously way easier to control than the SLDR.

rsvman The TM 320 Ti is my driver this year. Began the year playing the TM Mini but didn't like the smallish head and 14* loft of the one I had so I found a new, in plastic 320 Ti head and made my own Mini with an Aldila NVS 65 in gezzer flex - 43 1/2 inch length. A little shorter than my Ping G10 at 45" but way more accurate.

I still play my Superquad TP and absolutely love it. I have tried an R1 and a few others, but it just feels too solid to give it up.

raggmann54 Nice. It's still a pretty good head.

I know we have beat this cat to flat, but the first comments in the video state that in 5 years of production, TM came out with 20 drivers and Callaway put out 24! Damn.

rsvman

sdandrea1 I know, right? Who knew that anybody on earth put out more drivers than TM??!?

rsvman i was shocked. I've been harassing the wrong devil!
