 I started today's video with a bold statement. Prepare to be shocked. And you will be I swear. Yeah, prepared to be shocked. And I don't think it's... I don't think that it's going over the top, I know that I was particularly shocked or surprised at the results that I've found and the test that I've just finished and are about to explain what happened. I've got two drive heads, I've got the epic speed and I've got the Big Bertha B21. dwi fydd prosiect yn gwahanol eich cyfnodol wedi gwneud y 21 yma, yn y 20 o gwneud ac yn fath o ymddechrau Calloway.

If you watch the channel regularly, you'll see that I tested 3 driver shafts and one of them was 1 inch shorter than normal, or standard if you want to call it that. And it produced incredibly good results. So what I wanted to do is put it back into the epic speed but I also want to put it into the big berth of 21. And see what happens, and that's where the shop came. Right, okay, let's get some context into what we're doing. I'm going to test both driver heads with that shorter shaft, like I said, it's hazardous smoke. It's one in shorter, it's 50g in weight, it's regular in flex and if you did watch the video the other day then you'll know that it performed incredibly well. Almost, well it didn't lose distance, it performed better in terms of distance but dispersion was tighter, the spin number was lower, I was just finding the centre of the club. And for me, since the B21 came out, I was amazed how well that thing performed, it got sent to me for those who just a little bit of a story as to what happened with that driver. When it was sent, it had a regular 45g shaft in it. I was told to swap the shaft out and I didn't do that, took it out on the ferry by mistake, recorded the video. It performed incredibly well, baffled me a little bit, I came in door, did further testing, changed out that shaft to something that I would think would be more suitable. And the numbers dropped off, didn't perform anywhere near as good. I was bewildered with it, but so much so that I kept it in the bag and still to this day the B21 has been the driver that although we've not played much golf on the fairways, that is what I had with me. And like I said, I'm not the best driver in the world so for me confidence is a big, big deal and the one thing I would say, the B21 gave me a lot of confidence in that I was finding a lot of fairways. And then the other day I put this shorter shaft into the epic speed and when you're stood only one inch closer to that driver head with the mast that you've got at the end of E, you feel a greater amount of control. And that ups that confidence level before you've even made a swing. So for me, that's a massive deal in terms of how well you play as a golfer. So what I'm going to do today is the question is this, isn't it? It's a different day, it's a different swing. So I'm going to test numbers again with the epic speed with the one inch shorter shaft in, but I'm also going to put it in to that of the B21. Now, there is a slight difference in terms of loft. There's going to be half a degree difference, nine epic speed, 9.5 in terms of the B21. Don't get too hung up on that. I'm not looking to find a winner or a loser. And again, with most of my reviews, sometimes we get a lot of comments saying you should have done this or we should have done that. Look, if we did, you're getting bored listening to me already. If we tried to cover every possible permutation to put the video together, they'd be going on forever. So simply use these as very subjective in terms of what I collect. Use it simply as a guide in a barometer of perhaps help you with your purchasing decisions. I'm going to shut up. I'm going to hit a ball, first of all, with the speed. My driver performance has been good. If I could play like this on the fairways, I'd do all right. I'm going to tell you already that the sound difference is if you put me in a blind test, I wouldn't be able to tell a difference. So acoustic wise, although there's slightly different tech in the epic speed, I would say in terms of the face, in terms of the noise that I get back, I couldn't split these two clubs whatsoever. It's a sound I like, I'm impressed with. In terms of the driver head, the difference is between the two. This is your more traditional teardrop shape, a little bit elongated, sits nicer at a dress, but there's a big difference when we move into that B21. And that's what I'll move into. You might as well carry on running. It helps my editing be a little bit easier. A quick question for you. How many of you, when you've been for a custom fit, have been offered the opportunity to try driver with a one inch shorter shaft? The answer to that question is, from my perspective, is not many in the times that I've been asked. I think it's a big, big deal. I know it's something within that sort of Callaway fit cart, and I think it's a great option. I really do. Let's just make sure I get this. I've got to take this down by one degree. But again, it's like custom fit is massive, and there's no way you could have found out. Well, if you don't try it, you're never going to find out the differences. But seriously, being having the option to try that one inch shorter shaft has been a massive eye-opener for me on a personal level. I already, like I said, my confidence has already boosted using this B21 down to its performance. Now, if I can get anything better out of this B21 with a shorter shaft, then I'm an happy man. Huge difference at address. The one thing I don't like about the B21, and again, is because I'm fickle, is that elongated crown. But because it performs that well, it's something I've got to overcome. It's just been, like I said, so good to me in terms of out there on the fairways. I would recommend any average golfer to give it a try. Solid, you know. What a ball that is. What a ball. Again, acoustic-wise, I always say it's difficult to pick up on a microphone, but they're very, very similar in sound. Not a lot to split them at all. And like I said, the main difference being that elongated look at the top. So for me, I'd be swayed towards that speed. But the big surprise and the big shock that I referred to is in the numbers and in the performance. I've already collected data. Let's have a look at it, and let me tell you what the shock is, because I think you'll be impressed with what has been put together on both sets of numbers, to be fair. Right, so some context in terms of what the shock is. And I think what you've got to start off with is ability levels and how good of a driver of a golf ball am I. And that's not the greatest. Very much I would highlight it's being one of the weaker part of my games. So the shock that I referred to is maybe I'm a shock to maybe more than you are. I don't know, but in terms of the data, it's been incredibly consistent. And to performing at levels where like I said, I would struggle to normally do so. Now it could be, it's a particularly good day and I'm swinging a club well, who knows. But I'm going to start off with the driver numbers of the epic speed. What you've got to look at first of all is that ball speed and the consistency of ball speed. This is all about the shock comes not only in the overall performance, but in the consistency levels it's achieved. So look at those ball speeds, 146 through to 151. But the majority in around 149, 148, 149, 149, 151. Incredible in terms of how that performed. And again it goes back to me finding the centre of that club face more often. There's no coincidence we ran this test today and the one last week with the shorter shaft and the consistency levels in terms of ball speeds were incredible. 25 spin, again massive, great number, exactly where you'd want it to be. Average carry, 243. 243 carry, with a ball in there, three balls at 247. Now in the olden days when I used GC2 the numbers were a little bit higher because I don't know why but the data seems to have a little bit of a difference in terms of carry distance. I've tried to drive the ball in theory, GC2 a little bit longer. But if you go back in my numbers for the last two years since I've been recording on Trackman and you'll struggle to find me in it over 247 on many occasions and to do it on three occasions in six balls is incredibly impressive for me. I just want to finish off by saying we've got a, let's have a look, launching at 12.9 what we've got, P-Kite 89, just unreal in terms of performance. Dispersion chart up for you now. I'll let the side down, I'll let one ball leak out to the right which I'm absolutely gutted about because believe me those other five will literally throw a blanket over them in terms of where they went off. I aim at a pile on in the distance and believe me they were all literally straight at it so I'm gutted that one leaked out to the right hand side but amazing in terms of for me. I'm going to switch into the B-21, throw the details up for you now. We're going to go into ball speeds again because this again is so impressive and can only be one thing, 147.7 but look at the consistency. 146, 147, 149, 150. Incredible two five spin, spin number slightly lower on the B-21 which was a bit surprising but also equally impressive as well probably a slightly better number and look at that carry distance averaging 242. I mean it wasn't in theory as long as the speed we haven't got any 247 balls in there we've got one at 245 but the consistency number every ball in that six shot over 240 carry with 25 spin being the average we're going to quickly zoom over launching at 13.1 pk of 89. The reason I'm shocked, well I'm shocked because forget the two groups of B-21, Epic put them all together and that's the best set of driving stats that you will ever see from me if you go back and route through every single driver review I've done I don't think you'll find something where there's been a consistency level of dispersion and then overall performance and overall performance being ball speeds launch, carry distance put all them things in the mix you've got 12 shots there that I was shocked when I was hitting the balls out there because even when we had the camera on when we weren't recording the data I was talking to you I was literally hitting balls straight down the middle so shocked would be an understatement but maybe I'm just shocked at my own performance in this case and it could have been just a very very good day but what I would urge any golfer to do I'm not going to dwell any more on the data but I would urge every golfer to do if you get the opportunity is to try a one inch shorter shaft in your driver because I can't believe the difference it's just made and it will be in my bag in 2021 there is no doubt about that right as ever thank you for watching subscribe, comment below any experiences you've had that are similar to those then please share with your fellow golfers get that conversation going make better, more informed buying decisions and I think you have to hit that like button as well if you don't mind right I'm off, see you soon
