 Right welcome back to the Averige Golfers channel and down here at 4Golf to test another Jumbo grip there was so much interest and a bit of confusion as to why a few weeks ago when I tested out an 8-year-old driver with an XL Jumbo Max grip on why did it perform so well? The obvious thing was to stick a new grip onto my current driver we'll do some testing and see, was it pure fluke or is there something in these Jumbo grips? Mae'n dwi'n ffordd. Fe ydych yn ffordd o'r Ffawrgol yn ffordd, felly gynny'n ffordd o'r Armukgardd yn Cheser. A'r ffordd o'r bwrdd i'r gwrdd y club o'r ffordd o'r Ffairways i'w gwrthod. Ond mae'n golygu ei gwybod o'r twist o'r Ffardd o'r Ffawrgol yn ffordd ac mae'n gweithio'r bobbyl iawn. Oherwydd mae'n gweithio'r bydd. Y cweri o'r ffordd o'r ffordd o'r ffordd o'r ffordd i'w gwybod I had used an eight-year-old driver, wasn't my driver, wasn't my shaft. I literally borrowed it just for the video. We were baffled by the numbers that were achieved and hence why I'm back here today. So I have got my Jumbo Max Ultra Light Grip large on a modern shaft. It's on my current driver. But I've also got a regular shaft, the identical shaft with a regular grip on. That's what we're going to do. We're going to return back to foregolf, collect data with both these driver's shafts, see what the difference is between the two, and then you're going to return, join me here, where I'm going to try this out on the fairways in reality. But for now, back to foregolf. Right, so I am as interested in this as anybody to be honest with you because I was, like I said, so confused with the performance last week. So what I'm going to do, I'm going to start off. I've already collected data and hit balls with my regular shaft, regular grip. Just as a point of reference, I used the Epic Max LS Head and there's a 50g stiff shaft in it. As you can see from the three shots that I'm going to show you now, my performance was pretty decent. Testing the tips has done me a few favours to be fair. First ball out there, 240. We've got another ball out there at 241. And as you can see, that final ball was right on the tips to be honest with you in terms of my own performance at 246. That's as good as I've hit all year in terms of anything with that Max LS driver on a video. The confusion lies with last week when we recorded the sort of the Jumbo Max grip video, I recorded data at high end 248 and last week when I tried it off camera, we broke that 250 bario for the first time. So it led to me ordering some of these grips and what we've got on today. It's a Jumbo Max Lite, it's slightly different and this is large. It's a large grip size, so slightly smaller obviously than that XL, but not a lot in it to be fair. Put it on to this same shaft as what we've got. I'm going to hit some balls and I'm going to tell you again what I see out there. Record some data and what did I actually experience today? I've got to admit, first thing is that switching into it this week, it doesn't feel anywhere near as alien. So even though it's far from the norm, just having to go over in these previous two weeks and the sessions that I've been in here, it feels okay, I'm used to it, I'm much more comfortable when I thought last week I didn't think I would anywhere near be able to hit a shot. But anyway, let's stop talking for a little bit, I'll let the first one. We're on track, man. Let's see if we can get one going and see what happens. Can we get up and out there again? Right, here we go. That's another high launching ball. Once was a left bunker, is it? So we've got left bunker as the line. 240 carry, that's not a bad start, again. So the 240 carry was again very similar to a ball, I'm pretty sure we achieved that with the other driver, regular driver shaft on. So we've achieved nothing different as there. Probably one of the things that you notice with this grip on. And I don't know whether again this is good or a bad thing. You certainly have to work just that little bit harder, otherwise the clubhead can seem to be just get left behind a little bit. So it's important that you go on to that sort of first tee with some positivity and don't hold back on this, right? Let's give this one another go. That's a ball. That's gone for miles. It's going in the bunker. No, wow. 256 yards, oh my God, that is literally. That is the longest ball we've recorded at any point, han? We've got a yes from Han. I'm pretty sure that I have never done anything like that in terms of carry. I thought we were going in the bunker, but 256. That's I said to you last week I recorded 254. That's way out there and far, far different than what I was expecting. I'll be honest with you in the warm up to this. We've not seen massive differences. I've tried both shafts getting ready and we were in and around that sort of 240 mark plus, but 256 is by far the biggest ball we've hit so far. And again, no logic to this whatsoever. I'm going to try one more ball. Still a little bit confused by this, right? It's another solid strike as well. We got right down the middle here. My God, I mean, this is just flying down there. That's 253 yards. That's incredible distance. And again, the confusion is and I've come off the sort of regular shaft just sort of 15 minutes ago. And I can assure you we haven't broke 250 with it. I don't want any spoiler alert right now, but to achieve two balls while the camera's on a 256 and 253. I'm again, a bit like last week, a little bit confused, because it's very difficult to apply some logic in this. A lot of people last week spoke about how that one, it kills their hands and I'm certainly really understand that it does that. And also people sort of delayed the sort of release of the club head a little bit. And again, there's some logic in that, relax the forearms a little bit. So again, all these logics that might apply to as to why you might increase certain numbers, but it's still, for me, leave so much confusion. But the mere fact that we're now in sort of. Well, we're a number of balls in and yet again, this three weeks running, I've broke 250 with a jumbo max grip on. Suggest that is something in this. I just for whatever reason, I just can't fully jump into it and accept it. I don't know why. What a ball to finish stroke one. Another drive and another straight shot, which is the bit that absolutely it riles me in some ways, to be honest with you, because like I said, I would love to be able to put more logic in it. The only thing that I can say is that it's killed their hands. And again, we've seen more shots that have gone straight in terms of dry ball data. I'm going to flip back to what we gathered between the two different shafts earlier on at Forgolf. And to be honest with you, there's no real story there, unfortunately either, because all it tells me is that there's a little bit more clubbed speed with the with the with the fatter grip. Now, again, there's logic applied to that. There could be a little bit delay in the release of the club head. People talk about relaxing of the forearms, not being able to really grip tight and throttle down. So again, that killing of their hands. So logically, have we produced a little bit more clubbed speed? Therefore, a little bit of ball speed, I don't know. The launch angle again was a little bit higher. I know out on the course I've seen again that it launches the ball consistently high. But the one thing that remained consistent throughout and the only thing that remained consistent throughout is that I hit a ball on camera. I think at 256, one at 253. And in the dry ball data, we got one out at 251. And with the regular grip, we never broke 250 once. So if you just look at that alone, yes, there is I think that suggests there is extra distance by using this grip. But whether it provides it consistently enough, whether it provides straight enough shots consistently enough, I still don't know if I'm honest with you. I know being out here on the course was a different situation today, even from the first tee that we started off trying it felt a little bit alien. Maybe I was a little bit tentative with it. So it's something that you have got to get your head round a little bit and get used to. But we're now in what this is, the ninth hole. A bit of fair few drives here with it. I'm now comfortable. I'm releasing that clubbed fairly well. And as you've seen what we finished off there is a decent drive. So I'll see how I get on for the next few holes. And it'll stay on for a little while. And I don't know big debate because there's another video coming to you in the next couple of days where I've put an extra large grip or a jumbo grip wherever you want to call them on to a seven iron and on to a five wood. And that's what I've been testing out here today. And you'll see my theories on how they perform, then whether or not it's something you'll see in my bag for the rest of for the near future at least anyway. Right, as ever, thanks for watching. Before this tractor makes too much noise in the backdrop. Comments down below. Hit that like button and I will see you all soon. And thank you to Cardin Park for letting us use the course today. It's been absolutely glorious that he's getting really close. See you later.
