Titleist 915D3 vs TaylorMade R15 430

[Yellow Jacket]

As we all know, Titleist drivers are short, high spinning garbage and TaylorMade makes the longest, lowest spinning drivers in the game.

 

Right?

This is great!

Thanks for sharing!

Gc2 showed all shots either on the toe or low on the club face none in the center. Good numbers for miss hits.

I'm sorry but I can't take anything Shiels says seriously.

[jdhallissey]

Kinda weird that a guy like that misses 6 balls in a row. Now I know I miss a bit flipping drivers back and forth but I will get catch one sooner rather then later. What that just proved is if a driver is fit to you they will go the same distance so long as the numbers match. There is no driver out there that will be longer then another if fit correctly

I take all reviews with a grain of salt. Damn sure wouldn't make purchase based on a review.

Shields is a jackoff. Relying on monitors to measure real world ball flight is a joke. Townkids have their version of reality which is a lazy indoctrinated version of real world happenings. The golf market is in need of a good review and comparison of clubs with honest information.

So will you call your You Tube channel "Real World Golf Reviews by Supercharger: good reviews and honest information"?

I have been trying to convenience Pure745 to start a YouTube Review channel just to show these Euros what's up.

915D2 was longer for me than anything else I hit with the rogue silver. More accurate and forgiving too. It'll be my gamer for the next 2 years no doubt.

Seems like a pretty solid upgrade. I can see that channel really lowering spin on those shots low on the face.

[fujiman.757]

yea yea proofs on the course with trackman, i believe some people will benefit from there current driver but not all if u get the right shaft for your swing it doesnt matter what u play exception of the slider

I think it's funny that Shiels assumes because the Rouge in the 915 provides optimal numbers that it will do the same in the 913. All that he proved is that each head is different and requires a different fitting. The 915 is not 14 yards longer than an optimal fit 913, good for good.

Ka'li stiff in the 10.5* vs rogue x-stiff 9.5* ......fitted? Pfssst

He was fit at TM and Titleist's national fitting centers in the UK. If you think the fits are poor, blame them.

[oskaru]

To be fair, the TM fitting was done with the SLDR 430 head back in spring.

I really like his channel. Especially the course vlogs.

[BarronDDS]

It always seems as if people WANT Titleist to fail. They continually make great looking and performing clubs that seem to be very well received on tour. I dont understand the hate... all drivers these days are nearly equal with the correct fit.

[fujiman.757]

agreed a lot of people might get massive gains because they were never properly fit ever, Im a titleist nut but i cant buy the 915 because i was fit for 913 d3 and my setup is perfect i hit both 915 and 913 same distance

[oskaru]

Barron: All brands have their own group of haters attached to them. Though, I dare say Titleist and TaylorMade have slightly more than others.

I think it's just as silly as the whole "iPhone vs Android" flame war that's been going on forever. Different products to suit different people.

Looks like that dude needs the 460 head pissing out 1.40 smash factors haha
[/quote]

Yep. Its fun to watch but he isn't a great source for information that could help you buy a club. His smash numbers are typically pretty bad and if you notice in some reviews his other numbers like launch and dispersion are all over the map.

[mosesgolf]

I like watching Rick Shield's head to head videos but some of the launch monitors he uses are juiced imo.

200 plus yahd 6 irons? Oh come on now.

That would be a good watch. I wonder how much (if any) Shiels and Crossfield make of their youtube video?

[david92]

What I thought was a good comment in the accompanying thread was that someone observed he managed to hit the 915 higher off the face than the 913 which could easily explain the difference in results

I've actually hit the Rogue silver 60 in the 915 then in my 913 D3. And they're not the same. Completely different feel.

That Callaway 6 iron is a full degree stronger than my MP-60 5 iron. So I don't think the numbers are wrong.

[trumb1mj1]

It's silly to do a distance review like this with different shafts.

[BreakingPar]

Entertaining watch, but as with all his vids, I'd take it with a tub of salt. And just because a kaili works in the SLDR 430 doesn't mean you should just stick it in the next driver and call it a "fit"

[pochen23]

I feel that the video is honest. I have never really watched this guy until recently, and looking at this R15 460 and 430 review video, he seems to be a TM guy. I think it caught him off guard when 915D3 won. It seems like his R15 was launching alot higher than his 915, maybe it really is the shaft.

[oskaru]

pochen23: I'd say he's more of a Ping guy more than anything. If you watch his WITB video that's accurate as of last month you'll see.
