 Right, good morning, and thank you for joining the average golf round down here for golf Chester and it is all about team average Yes, five golfers five different handicaps five different ages different swing speeds and ultimately five different opinions We're gonna be testing the tailor-made m6 driver. No tech spec no introduction anymore from me It is all about the testing. It's all about performance all about opinion. I'm gonna shut up and we're gonna start in some golf balls Okay, well straight off for me It appears better. It's better in a matte finish than a glossy finish and for me Looking at a club that's part of feeling right with the swing So if it looks good in here, then we're gonna start swinging So how I like it. So I've never been known for the driving. I've always I can hit an iron quite long So I've managed to get around the course well with that, but the m4 was the best driver I've had Previous and I thought he hit it well, but the minute I started it in this it felt better. I felt Second third shot I was confident that The swing was gonna take the ball where I wanted better shot it sounded fuller Sounded like a dull Like I was hitting through the ball where the m4 Take a ping it's like a loud bang noise. So yeah, it's for me The performance of this was definitely better I mean it averages in it now for a driver if I was in the market for one right now I would definitely swap. I'll definitely change this to the m4. I'm gonna buy it aren't I? It always helps when you look at figures because you can hit a ball and it looks good out there But if you haven't got a comparison as to where it's going It's hard to tell but on the numbers, you know, they were all there for me better Okay, so that was the opinion of Steve Holmes new to the channel 17 handicapper and great to hear the thoughts and opinions of Steve there right next is on to mr Andy Roper you've seen Andy last week. He was a big fan of the Cobra F9 What does he think of this driver from Sailor Maid? I like the looks of it the carbon finish underneath. It's nice isn't it the colorings I like that's good on the eye from above. I really like it I like the matte finish with the carbon sort of underlay on it And I much prefer it with the thinner sort of silver line across the front I wasn't a big fan of that big white step on the previous sort of designs of it I'm not a massive Tailor Maid sort of driver would fan ordinarily I do prefer the look of that to the last couple of models they've done. It feels really good To me I've always got a recollection whenever I've tried Tailor Maid that it's quite a Loud aggressive face and it fires off it, you know, they're all about distance and you know Whereas this one, although you do still get the distance out of it. It's a lot more solid sounding You get a lot more feel across the club face The feedback is great I really like it Yeah, this common phrase at the minute is it seems to be what every manufacturers charging which to me doesn't make it Right, I think 399 is more acceptable, but I'd want to see it closer to 350 personally And it is just a personal thing. I've got a big beam bonnet about the price of clubs at the moment So I wouldn't buy it on the basis that it's above an amount I deem to be acceptable And until they brought it down, I probably only pick this up second hand Yeah, I think anything at the moment really is better than my driver It's the 915 so we're talking four years old tech wise It wasn't a particularly great driver at the time, but it was something that I had good numbers with and enjoyed it And it's been successful for me But you start to notice the the increase in technology that's about nowadays with the drivers I've definitely changed it to this Given the option, but not at the price for the reasons I've mentioned I think the the one thing I would say with the M6 that I felt is that the dispersion felt tighter I felt more confident as I could step on it particularly to put a bit more distance in there without Worrying that it's going to necessarily leak out to the right which can be my bad shot So I did feel a lot more confident with it when I was sort of stepping on it a bit Which would be great. Obviously in certain conditions. It's a club I think that probably changed my mind with tailor-made in terms of the woods and drives I've got the irons, but I've never really been a fan of the drivers for the reasons that I've mentioned Aesthetically the price point and the noise the sound out a bit whereas this one seems to be a little bit more What I'd go for personally in a driver So some impressive numbers from Andy and I think pretty keen on this M6 so so far so good They're liking this driver from tailor-made. So next up. It's time to go to Walter win Stanley Walter playoff 10 was it or 11? I can't remember now is details will come up on the screen So let's see how Walter thinks of this M6 driver. I Think this tailor-made driver looks extremely nice I notice they've gone from the white to the gray or other thinner strip Nice carbon matte finish on the top no complications at the bottom no sliding weights or anything like that I think it's one of the best looking tailor-made drivers They've actually produced because I think the white can fade and get dirty. This is unlikely to do this This will age very well So I think that's something that's important to take into account when you've got a club like this Especially one. It's fairly expensive anyway. Well from my point of view the feel was harsh I thought it was very evident where you hit the ball in the face, although I didn't bring my best swing today I have to say I hit it when I hit it in the middle. It was absolutely fine But the variation between strikes worried me a little bit I've tried other clubs which are much more forgiving and as we're moving into an era now where MOI is key I didn't feel it on this club My own view is someone with a faster swing speed and I'm a senior golfer after all would probably derive more benefit because a They're getting hitting it harder and also they're hitting it more consistently. So from my perspective as a senior golfer I was disappointed with the feel completely the price of this club's 399 and quite close to the other ones like Cobra Strix on at 349 and probably Ping So it's not much more But it is a slightly premium price and I have to say from my experience of using it albeit just once this morning I wouldn't want to pay more than the 349 for the driver. I didn't think to meet would have been worth it Certainly in the hands of a more skilled player. Yes, they'll probably love this and they hit it miles But for me it would be too much money because I simply wouldn't get the value out of it Performance-wise I didn't do very well with this driver. Certainly as well as I'd hope to have done I think launch and spin were down although ball speed was surprisingly up. I felt I had to work very hard I was feeling I had to hit the ball extremely hard, which is not good Possibly losing rhythm and probably losing a little bit of accuracy with it as well So really again feel you know feel wasn't great and I think the performance for me was Disappointed but there's a say in the hands of a more skilled player I think this would go well But to me I didn't I didn't get that performance and my figures were Disappointing well down and I think that's just because of the club wouldn't the way I was with it So slightly different opinion there nice to see that thrown in from Walter Love the different perspectives and the different opinions and it just goes to show how literally it does vary from golf That's golfer and why you must try these drivers out for yourself. But next up Brian Treadwell 10.6 11 handicap golfer very very steady Brian performs very well with this Callaway row Let's see. I had a little sneaky go at this before he left last time round on the testing And I'll be interested to see how he performed under pressure when the camera goes on and only one way to find out Let's get over to Brian get him into some golf balls and then get his opinion the look at the dress very nice pleasing on the eye and It has a what I thought was an offset center on the face of the club Which seems to be much more closer to the heel than ordinary ordinarily and I although it feels that way It feels very natural and I liked it. I liked it a lot It gave me a lot of confidence when I was about to strike the ball in terms of feel It might have been the way it was set up from the grip through the shaft down to the club Again, it just engendered a lot of confidence right from the start And I liked it throughout the swing. It felt very balanced sound Unremarkable in the sense. It didn't put me off anything The rogue has a very distinctive sound which is a bit marmite. You either like it or you don't I don't mind it It's much more about where the ball ends up than how it sounds at the point of impact, which is Passed the point I can do anything about it at that stage But yeah, I again, I liked it There's nothing off-putting about the sound of this club at all if they brought it down to the price of the cobra They're much more likely to have people coming in much more often to swap it and that being said if you go to the right place and Trade in your old clubs. There are always deals to be done. So Coming to speak to James Perhaps if I'm taking this any further and seeing what he thinks about prices felt very comparable to the rogue when I was Striking the ball well And maybe even not so well About this as a club. I desperately wanted to buy the M3 when I bought the rogue But I couldn't hit the M3 My swing is now better than it was 12 months or so ago And now the twist-faced technology doesn't punish me as much as it did a year ago In terms of the data, I will be very interested to see the difference between this and the rogue and if there is a Real benefit to the swap and as I say, I may well look at that interesting when I play when I tried it out I didn't have the D type and because I have a fade or a slice as my worst-case scenario The D type might help fixing that and that might be another reason to think about Stop because I know my rogue is the draw bias. So that would help me Well, I said I would Brian perform under the pressure of the camera will no problem at all He performed really really well and at the moment there's a very positive vibe for this golf club indeed At least that's what I'm reading from what I'm hearing and what I'm seeing From the lads that have currently tested the clubs last but not least it's on to our PJ professional Good friend of mine Lewis Johnson is using the tailor-made M3 currently So this would be an interesting one for him on a personal level. Let's see how we get on with this MC Yeah, I like the look and address and it's one thing that really I liked it from M1 M2 to M3 is the sleeper line on the top and Address and they've gone a little bit more with that so it's a slimmer line again with M5 M6 So I really attractive club address loved it and Sounded very used to tailor-made clubs. So I really liked that how it come off there the club how it sounded and feel of it and actually sort of bottomed a few and And still felt like it come off okay, which is a big plus because it doesn't always come out the middle of the club So that was a big positive yet real good I like it I think 399 is probably across the board with the level of adjustability and that it's got And I think the performance of it I think it sits probably across the board where it should and it's not got there the ultra adjustability as some And but it's got just enough there where you can tweak it and so I think it sits right and Whether that's still a little bit too expensive. I think it's a sort of a General feeling in golf at the minute, but no, I think it sits where it's short for the level it gives and I think and Exactly the same shaft and which is a big thing very Absolutely identical and I was looking enough to get fitted Tailor main performance institute in my old driver exactly the same loft shaft everything combo and numbers pretty much identical Which is sort of a testament to getting properly fitted didn't really give me anything extra Which is it is a shame because it claims to be faster and but certain other mishits Didn't really notice a drop in performance So maybe that's where the benefit would there would be to change but numbers very much similar So right, okay, so it's summary time from my perspective and I've done my review of the m6 driver and to be fair I pretty much give it a good thumbs up It was a very impressive driver for me personally But it's always better to hear the opinions of five of the golfers and I think that's been the main success of this video So far this style of video is seeing the opinions of others and it there are variables There's no doubt about it and things again in this for me listening in the background There was far more positive noises coming from everybody who used the m6. I think I think everybody was pretty impressed It was fair to say Walter was the only Person that was perhaps a little bit disappointed But I don't think to be fair what your Malta swing from on this video compared to his performance on the first video I think he won't mind me saying he wasn't at his best in terms of his own performance So I think overall I got some very positive noises and I think in in certain cases There were some real gains made certainly in the case of Steve Holmes and and Andy Roper as well I think noticing again the the shaft head combination and I've pointed out in this video Everybody is fit for a shaft that is suitable to for them and in the case of Lewis It was an identical shaft at the very end I think again shows that when you get to the scratch golfer we get to the PJ professional Lewis hits very consistent swing His numbers I've just edited this video and his numbers were almost identical with his M3 driver As they were in the previous test in two weeks ago because everybody is hit again Everybody by the way, that's the other thing everybody re-recorded new numbers. So it's based on the swing. They had that day Temperature all the different things that might come in and make a difference So rather than use numbers that we've already pre-recorded Everybody hit golf balls again. And like I said in Lewis's case almost identical with his M3 numbers He performed far better with this than he did with the the Cobra F9 once again a lot more suitable to him And I think but I do think the shaft is a key element of Getting this head shaft combination, right? But overall like I said, yeah, take what you will from it. It's it's at the end of the day It's your interpretation those comments. You see any differences. I think the key message is yes Again, it's about going out trying these drivers out these products out for yourself And more importantly getting custom fit and making sure you get the right head shaft combination That suits you because in my opinion, it is literally different for every single golfer quite possibly different And that's what we're seeing with these videos. So like with the first one You were so positive with the comments I was really pleased and thank you for that and it gives you the encouragement to carry on with this style of video Hence why we've done this one. The plan is is to do this every two weeks So one video of this style every two weeks. So that's what we've penciled in next time around two weeks from today We'll be looking at the G4 10 irons. I think it's the plan so as ever comments down below gives your opinion thumbs up if you like the video and All those other things that I'm supposed to ask you to do. So yeah, thanks for watching. See you soon
