NEW VERTICAL GROOVE golf DRIVER REVIEW PGA GOLF COACH Rick Shiels tests and reviews the latest NEW VERTICAL GROOVE GOLF DRIVER that has just hit the market! Rick uses ProV1's and tests using GC2 and HMT launch monitor technology. On the website it claims to help you hit the ball 40% straighter. Rick tests it to find out how true that statement actually is. ►Become a FREE SUBSCRIBER to RICK SHIELS now http://bit.ly/SubRickShielsGolf ►GolfWRX Featured writer http://www.golfwrx.com/ ►Golf Monthly Top 25 Golf Coach http://www.golf-monthly.co.uk/news/notice-board/new-golf-monthly-top-25-uk-coaches-list-revealed-89709 ►Official Resort Partner: Lumine http://www.Lumine.com/ ► Official Apparel and footwear partner: Nike Golf http://www.nike.com/golf ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ►My Links: Facebook ► http://bit.ly/RickShielsFB Twitter ► http://bit.ly/RickShielsTwitter Instagram ► http://bit.ly/RickShielsIG Vine ► http://bit.ly/GolfProVine Web ► http://www.rickshielsgolf.co.uk/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Do you not normally line the seam of the ball up, when using a driver?
Big yardage difference.
Bad Form Tony....you made yourself look the fool.

If you want more straightness, look for more backspin. But backspin cuts down on distance . . . so you cannot have everything.
If you want lower scores, hit more fairways, and just flat play better golf, try lessons.
I agree with the other comments, though, you could have used a higher loft with this club. Your spin was good but your launch was low
Also...43 yards is a big hook for you? Didn't you used to play something like that as your stock shot? lol

Fucking what?
You'd be 112 X 2.4 = 269 yards carry

Isn't 11* launch a bit low for getting maximum distance?
Violence. Speed. Momentum.
Great video as always. Your honesty on products is the reason you have such a great following.
I wonder how the review would have went if there hadn't been such a bold opening statement.
Salesman and there tricks...
Same with "straight flight" golf balls like Bridgestone E6 and Srixon Q Star. They won't solve a slice, but they can HELP to reduce them. I play the E6 and it helps me "one level" - so it'll turn out of bounds into deep rough, turn deep rough into first cut, and turn first cut into the edg eof the fairway. It's not magic but it HELPS. And nothing can stop it from landing on the next fairway over if you put a REALLY bad swing on it :-D But for us once a month hackers who never practise, I'll take the help if it's available.

What is the elevation, temperature, and humidity set to on your GC2? I ask because when I input your ball data into a flight scope online calculator or when my numbers match yours on skytrak, I get lower carry distance than your unit calculates. Thanks in advance, cheers
Maybe other manufacturer will look into it and this tech will develop and improve on competition, or maybe not, will see. But at least it's great that some are still looking for a breakthrough.
The USGA has no problems with "high MOI" drivers because at the end of the day, how you present the face to the ball determines if the ball flies straight or not. Same with these vertical grooves; if they truly hit the ball straighter, they'd be in violation of the "technology over skill" part of the equipment rules, and never be deemed conforming.
with and without grooves...both hit the ball straight using a hoganisque grip and something jack said about the back of your hand and moe normans follow through....and last and most importantly. ..swing your own swing AP...im just sayin
Thank you for your time!! I'm newer to the game and I appreciate your straightforward and concise explanation.
Ever hear of a "flyer lie"? That's when there's too much grass between the ball and clubface for the grooves to remove. The resulting ball flight is higher and farther, because the ball slides up the face a little and comes off with less spin.
Take your driver and sand wedge out and look at their grooves. The driver's are pretty shallow compared to the SW, isn't it? There likely isn't even any right around the "sweet spot" (middle of the face). That's because you don't need grooves to do anything when you have a perfect lie, which is what you get when the ball's on the tee.
As for spin, I never said that the ball rotates about multiple axes. The ball does only spin about one axis, however back spin and side spin still exist independently. GC2 actually MEASURES the rate of rotation about a horizontal axis (back spin) and the rate of rotation about a vertical axis (side spin) and then CALCULATES the total spin rate and in which direction the ball was spinning (axis tilt). In this video when Rick hit a hook (12:42), the ball had 46* of tilt. Anything past 45* and the ball has MORE side spin than back spin, so by your logic, back spin didn't exist on that shot only side spin.
Technically, what it (the ball) does is rotate with backspin on a tilted (non-vertical) axis. "Sidespin" is just a term to create better visualization.
As for gear effect, that's also independent of the grooves. The more "bulge" (horizontal curvature) or "roll" (vertical curvature) of the face, the more gear effect you get.
A groove's lone job is to channel away dirt and debris from the clubface, to allow cleaner contact between the face and ball, which results in friction. Friction, swing speed, quality of contact, and loft determine backspin. The angle of the face at impact determines "sidespin" (not a real term, but useful for visualization purposes). Open face = fade/slice; Closed face = draw/hook; square face = straight.
They're not, they said " In independent testing by Golf Laboratories, Inc., length increased by almost 10 yards with accuracy improvements of 40% on average. Our amateur testing is showing even greater improvements for mid- to high- handicap players. "
That's obviously utter bullshit, like Rick showed its 99% about how you swing, clearly the sidespin made 0 impact when he left the club face open
who makes this lump of crap
So there you go. That proves this driver is awesome :-D
Do they say where the CG is in this driver ? Like you I can't see how the vertical grooves would make any kind of huge difference at all. Curvature is path & face angle along with impact location.
Many drivers at the centre strike location have no grooves on that contact part of the face at all.
1) great look - I love the way the TaylorMade M1/M2 family looks, and this is even better to my eye
2) great price - USD $100 to $150 cheaper than a TaylorMade M1
3) nice sound and feel of the face, though it's louder (more metallic) than my 2016 TaylorMade M1
4) About 20 yards shorter compared to my TaylorMade M1, but about equal in distance (carry+roll) to my older Ping G30 driver
5) I've lost no ball of the tee with this driver, compared to losing 1 or 2 balls a round with the TaylorMade M1 - I think this is largely because of #3, as a ball hit offline just isn't going as far with this driver and thus isn't getting into as much trouble
In summary, I've decided for now to keep this driver in my bag till I can sort out my driver swing to become more consistent - I just prefer to have a longer iron or hybrid into the green to having to take a penalty drop once or twice a round.
Btw, you did hit it only 15 yards off line(total).
it would really show what you get for the money you spend
I like the look of this driver but would be unlikely to buy it unless a club fitting session said it was the one I needed.
Cheers
"reduces side spin"
First drive; 46 yards right
i can slice all day long!
So they can technically claim 40% straighter, because their only taking about specific hits but because of marketing they don't have to specify this leaving Mr. Shiels confused. Stats are not always what they seem and can be manipulated or just such an isolated range that you can get the number you want and then throw it on the box.
Carpetbaggers abound brah...
As always, great review from Rick and really deals with some good points.
All companies tout something, such as m2 irons being longer (yes with jacked up cheating lofts)
I think you missed a major point here, that TM did correctly with the m2 irons. It's a confidence thing.
Now to mention that "we all know why John Daly" uses it or to whatever effect you said. That comes off very condescending and that lead into this whole video debunking an upstart as a gimmick. John Daly clearly already said he gets a royalty on sales. Now we can say the same for the reason you're wearing anything you wear or any certain clubs you use in your bag?
Please keep your opinions quiet and stick to the numbers.
