· auto-generatedWhat's going on guys it's driver testing day down here with a net we got the flight scope going we're going to crank out some different swings we've got callaway we've got taylormade we've got titleist up in here lots of project x and if I'm feeling a little freaky we're going to throw in that auto flex as well see what's going on all right so we're going to see where the game's at it's been a little rough over the last few weeks so today we'll load up we'll see what's going on what's going on guys I know you're expecting the full driver break now looking through all the shafts the head combos and everything else but I went home to edit the footage go through everything and it kind of sucked wasn't happy with any of it I wasn't happy with my game I wasn't confident I was pretty self-conscious about the numbers I was putting up thinking about the kind of the social media interface in terms of being judged I feel like I wasn't doing the things that I should be doing based on everything else that I'm doing so I felt pretty uneasy on that some of the footage couldn't even see my face so yeah that's why this is a driver breakdown because I basically had a breakdown doing it guys all right this isn't always easy and to be honest the review side I love equipment but with the setup that I have with everything else going on it's kind of not what I do I mean I love equipment I'm going to tell you all about those drivers and the chefs right now but basically the confidence in my own game and the confidence to really sure that wasn't coming through and that's that's kind of more on me and I'm going to do another video like this just kind of about all that stuff because I know a lot of people can relate to it I've related to a lot of people in the past in terms of how they feel about certain things and I'm going to talk about that as well but let's break down these drivers right now so number one big question everyone's asking auto flex shaft man that's unnerving it's a wild thing guys all right so I did see some good numbers it didn't do anything more than the other chefs that I got it didn't give me any huge increases the one thing he did give me was the thought that I actually might miss the nip and I mean you can't miss the net normally even if you shank an iron you still hit the net with the auto flex I mean that face is coming in all over the place sometimes open sometimes heal sometimes toe I'm sure I could get used to it over time and if my swing was more on point it might give me better results but man it's wild I mean it was all over the place like I teared I didn't know what was going to happen so kind of hard for me to say that would be a good thing in terms of my game especially when I don't know where it's going to go off the tee anyway so autoflex you might pick some distance up especially if you've not got the optimal build right now but be ready to get some extra insurance let's put it like that okay in terms of the heads we've got sim we got maverick triple diamond and we got the tsi lots of heat on the tsi right now my take would pretty much be the sim for feel sound and performance is unreal I'm still getting a little bit more used to the head shape just because I've been such a callaway guy for a long time so that kind of leads on in terms of consistency and comfort level for me the callaway is awesome all right he's got the heavier shaft in there that was giving me some slightly lower club head speed but then the ball speed was pretty much maintained all right so in terms of how I was transferring energy I was probably just hitting more on the middle because the swing was a little bit more feel with the heavier chef for me who knows but the callaway the feel is a little harsher than the sim the sim really does absorb and I mean it feels super hot all right the callaway feels great but it's a little harsh off the face you don't quite get that purely satisfying feeling you do from the sim and then tsi tsi3 when I first got it I thought it was too old school looking down very kind of as close as you can get a 460 cc driver to look like a persimmon head basically this is kind of how I would talk about it but then hit it a few times and it's fast and then you start to get used to that look a little bit more it's very classical it's all black and yeah I'm digging it guys I am digging it so I think with a little bit more time with a few different shaft options and really getting dialed in the tsi could play that could play all right so in terms of review this probably helps nobody all right it didn't help me doing it because it messed me up in terms of how I felt about my game even more so and like I said I'm gonna talk about that basically I want to find out how much I want to achieve with the game itself how much I'm wanting to work how much I'm willing to push past because it's kind of a lot of scar tissue from before all right and that's not a bad thing to overcome that and work through it I know that there's I can do that but you gotta be fully committed you'll be willing to voluntarily turn on knowing how much you're gonna have to go through there's gonna be setbacks gonna work through it and that's on me guys all right I'm gonna work on that and I'm gonna see where I get to okay not forgetting the shafts my guys at project x you can't go wrong they're the best chefs for the athletes of today without question we've got the smoke green 70 tx hulk that thing is just solid I've talked about a ton over time basically you put a good swing on it get the club head where it needs to be that chef stands up gives you great ball speed awesome control pretty much if I'm swinging well that's my god too no question all right the rdx blue I've got 70 tx as well that's very it's quite similar to the smoke green a little bit more feel to it and obviously it's counter balanced so I think a little bit more work with that is pretty cool because the feel is not a million miles away obviously it look slightly more field than the smoke green because that is just solid I think that chef's pretty awesome all right same for the rdx black and I'm not just loving on project x because they hooked me up all the time although this pad as well all right the rx black I really like that we've got attx in the driver like I said it allows me to hit the middle a little bit better but speed comes down so that's something I kind of consider over time but the rdx black is really similar to the profile used for such a long time like the diamanta white slightly more feel than the butt strong everywhere else super solid shaft awesome it's pretty awesome okay the other one was the rip flat riptide even floor black not one that I've used an awful lot before now because I use the smart green so much and that thing was great as well all right really that was in the titleist so it's a slightly different feel but give me some really good ball speed numbers looks pretty cool as well guys all right so like I said not the video I absolutely anticipated putting out for y'all if you're still watching at this point yeah I've kind of made it more about me than I did the clubs but hopefully he took something out of that guys right like I said I'm gonna post something up just about everything about everything about kind of mindset mental health the game the challenges fitness business all of that stuff guys right because there's always a lot going on all right I did cherry pick out some numbers y'all can check him out here like I said I was I was pretty self-conscious in terms of some of the numbers game's not that good I haven't been focusing I haven't been working the way that I should have been and then it looks like that it looks like that so I managed to pull some numbers out managed to get the club at speed up to about 120 we've got some decent carries out there ball speed crossed 180 one time nothing crazy in today's world I need to get into the mindset I need to get into my own training basically because with everything else going on it's easy to get kind of stuck down just doing the things that you want to be doing and not really putting in the work that you should be doing which is definitely where I've been at so kind of resetting goals resetting the mind focusing on involvement all right this is the weirdest club review you've ever seen but hey we're here to disrupt how to do things differently so we even did this differently guys all right if you're going to get a new driver tour issue golf that's going to be awesome either way hit what you're going to find make sure you test make sure you find the right shaft they all work guys right they all work so what find the one that's coolest the one that you want to play and the one absolutely allows you to drop bombs off the tee guys all right so either way end of this video there's a lot more to come guys right we just went over a thousand on youtube appreciate every single one of you and I won't make such a mess of the videos in the future all right but it's also cool for you to see because this stuff isn't always easy all right we have to work on it day and night all right and you know how to work pairs off so keep your eyes out subscribe
