I notice a few of you have mentioned that the audio of the video is sped up in parts and makes me sound like a chipmunk haha! I am looking into it, it's very strange as it's not affecting everyone! I am pretty sure it's only happening on the Youtube app! If you copy and paste the link here https://youtu.be/tDdtC1pH3ec and watch on your browser it should work just fine!
Thanks
Rick

Am sure a lot of money time and research has gone into this product, but am sure longer distance off the tee is every golfer aim as one does not intend to hit the toe or heal of the club! your video showed the danger/s of receiving a ball flight which you did not intend! In saying all this, I will look forward in trying the club out just for my own curiosity! Many thanks for the demo!

What do you think since there is very minimal difference from last year?
Seems like even some tour plays are struggling with twist face. Tiger was playing the new M3 at Torrey Pines and he was really struggling to find fairways I think he hit like 12 out of 58 for the week and it was a double miss. Maybe he should go back to the M1 he played at the Hero. Still great to see Tiger back making cuts.

I'm currently using a TaylorMade burner superfast 2.0 just wondering what your thoughts are on that driver cheers
I think these in depth reviews are invaluable and a great addition to your channel.
Very well done and please keep it going. Please do the new Vokey wedges soon and please explain the bounce of the club.

I`m thinking of changing my Ping G30 SFT this year, so I`m planning to try out the Ping G400, Callaway Rogue Draw bias & the TM M3/4 (seeing if they work with my old mans low heel strike). But I suspect that none of them will be any better than my current "fairway finder".
I know you use Pro v1's for consistency but what are your thoughts on using "own brand" balls for driver testing. Dont know if its just me but i preferred to use callaway balls with my last callaway driver and now use tp5x with my sldr. Do manufacturers "design" the ball to work better with their kit?
I hope this makes sense. i'd be happy to ellaborate more if needed.
This video contains all information I want to know about M4. Well done Rick!
A sound level meter is a measuring instrument used to assess noise or sound levels by measuring sound pressure. Often referred to as a sound pressure level (SPL) meter, decibel (dB) meter, noise meter or noise dosimeter, a sound level meter sound level meter uses a microphone to capture sound. The sound is then evaluated within the sound level meter and acoustic measurement values are shown on the display of the sound level meter. The most common unit of acoustic measurement for sound is the decibel (dB).
You will want one that offers recording so you can check after the shots and not have to have someone holding and looking at it for you.
I don't know brands you have in the U.K. There are apps available for smart phones, however they are not very accurate. I hope this helps, and thanks again for the reviews.
Loud drivers are a big turn off for me too.

This is the driver that I want. I have it earmarked.
I like the data sets where you show the averages of 5 shots as well as the new overlay.
not the club but the review, by far the best out there Rick
There are probably many aps, i have tested one called NoiseExposure on my iPhone.
I did an comparison with professional equipment and didnt notice any difference. The app uses the microphone on the phone to measure.
Hope this helps
Cheers
Interested in hearing your thoughts and I can't wait for more #indepth reviews
Do you use the same balls on the course as you do with “GC Quad”. Would certain balls make a difference to some of the data? Cheers mate.

These are just too long, it’s like you’re filling unnecessarily to make it 15mins.
Sorry Rick!
I play the callaway fit xtreme. Looking to get a Rouge
I agree.2016 M2 still is the best.
I'm using ping g30
Looking at new driver this spring
Love the looks and feel of m2 and on the fence about twist face
So tell me... What driver are you using now? Which are you thinking of switching to next?
Watching your videos to figure out what to switch to next! Maybe Rogue!? Waiting for the full review!
Considering ditching my old Ping G25 if G400 Max happens to be as satifying as it appears
Very useful
Not looking for changing the driver at current stage , it served me well
Good to know that manufacturers are looking into invention of new technologies
I currently use SLDR 430. I’m really struggling to find a replacement though. I really don’t like the look of fuller 460 heads for some reason. So that’s most current drivers, especially Callaway Rogue, out of the running.
Hate turbulators, horrible word for something that doesn’t work. Unless of course the dictionary definition of turbulators is: ‘Name given to useless or ineffective invention which inventor publicly denies doesn’t work whilst working on his next invention’. In which case it’s a brilliant word! So Ping out.
I’m frightened of snakes, so Cobra out for much the same reason as I don’t use Taylormade mallet putters.
Love the look of PXG Drivers, I really do. But I’m not going spend six thousand pounds, or whatever, on something I’m likely to put a sky mark on about a week after remortgaging.
Titleist 917 D3? Possibly. But my pro told me the numbers don’t lie and everyone’s getting better results with Epics and M2s.
I’m kinda ‘meh’ about white headed drivers which is why I never really considered M1/M2.
I absolutely almost quite like the look of the new Taylormade M3/M4 but then I saw a review YouTube.....
Damn you Rick Shiels you picky bugger!
I see a lot of comments for F8, worth testing?
If I were to switch... most likely M3. Love the y-track concept
It’s all very hard to actually measure and may just be in his head I doubt he would’ve noticed that if he didn’t know about twist face
Think I’ll pick up last years m2 for £250, similar performance and I prefer the white and black
It’s the twist face and sound he doesn’t like which a shaft won’t help
Don’t mean that in a rude way just wondering what you’re getting at
