Does anyone know what screen Mark is using in his garden? It look amazing but I cannot find details anywhere

C P - 5 months ago

This is still in my bag.

9.5 degree version with a 76g Proforce V2 stiff shaft.

It's a bomber. Just don't miss.

Mark Dickinson - 5 months ago

Would love to see you test a 910D2 against something more modern - I still game that driver and recently compared it on trackman to a TS3. 910D2 came out on top which was a surprise to me

Carlos alem - 6 months ago

hey la verdad increible video me encanto aguardo por el proximo material me despido les envio besitos gracias

JRS - 7 months ago

one of the longest drivers i've played with uses a 907D2. he's pretty bad with all the other clubs but hits these ridiculous low bombs that have just the right anount of spin to curve upwards or fall out of the sky.

Callam Coulthard - 7 months ago

Hmm, OK. Here goes: "Cult" drivers (the L4V and the 9015D have their own mega threads on Golfwrx): Orlimar HipTi 420; Adams 9015D; Cobra L4V X speed; Adams Fast 12 LS; Bridgestone J33R; Cleveland Launcher Comp; Wishon 919THI; KZG VC420; SMT DB455; Nakashima NP1; Bangomatic 460; Geek DCT; Krank Rage; Krank Formula X or XX; Nickent 4DX Evolver; original Ping Rapture (not the V2); Snake Eyes 600 or 650; Knuth High Heat; Zevo or Snake Eyes Compressors (forerunners of jailbreak tech). Any current offerings by Lynx, Benross or MD Golf eg Lynx Black Cat. JDM cult drivers: Ryoma D1; S-Yard T388; JBeam FX BM 435; Onoff 358. Know you're only after driver suggestions but have to drop the following - Fairway woods: the original Orlimar Trimetal low profile fairways; Tour Edge CB2 or CB4; Sonartec fairways. Hybrids: Sonartec MD hybrids. Irons: Maxfli Revolution Black dots. Good luck with that!

Callam Coulthard - 7 months ago

Oh forgot. The Makser driver that most of the Euro Ryder Cup Team were using in one match in the 90s; MacGregor MT 460 (red sole) that Greg Norman used in his run to 2nd place in the 2008 Open; the Alpha C830.2 Plasma; Tiger Woods King Cobra driver from the 1997 Masters; John Daly's Cobra Ultramid from his USPGA Major; Freddie Couples metal headed Lynx Boom Boom from the 90s.

Sir TogII - 7 months ago

Great series this and I really like the little digs at the miracle workers out there :-) I can tell you another "secret", Bryson did not gain 40 yards by signing with a different manufacturer....

ohiomoto - 7 months ago

If people want to waste their money on "stuff" then sell them "stuff". Some people get more enjoyment out of buying things than actually using them. No different than buying a high performance sports car to sit in traffic on the way to work. Not my thing, but to each his own.

Sam Foskett - 7 months ago

Would love to see the cobra Amp cell driver tested loving these videos btw!!

Mark, I play the 907 and have done for 8 years. I hit it straight and average 250. Looking to upgrade to a new driver and wondered what you might suggest that would have a similar feel and maybe a little mor distance. I'm a 15 HC.

Daniel Christian - 7 months ago

Orlimar Trimetal

Xander Coomz - 7 months ago

Another great vid. Ok here goes, my last attempt at recommending a club. And given your equipment partnership this shouldn’t be too difficult to obtain. Please (PLEASE) can you test a Srixon W506, available in the early 2000s. I owned two and still have one of them. Shafted admittedly with a UST V2 shaft, it’s still one of the longest drivers I’ve ever owned. So Mark, Srixon W506..... please

Matthew Croad - 7 months ago

Always down to the muppet holding the club Bruh. Keep up the good work

JP Lardner - 7 months ago

Thanks. Got one and still use it. See no need to modern up

Mark Wheeler - 7 months ago

Hi Mark, can you find an old taylormade R5 and test please

Philip Van Heerden - 7 months ago

My dad's still plays the 907 D2! My old driver with a proforce V2 shaft. Still goes well.

huddy bozak - 7 months ago

Should have reshafted for better comparison

huddy bozak - 7 months ago

What's up with the music in the background. Real distracting.

Charlie Minotto - 7 months ago

I think we can take at this point from all your video's about older drivers that not much has changed in the last 15yrs.

JULES DOWNER - 7 months ago

i too am really enjoying this series . is there a bad driver out there? can you test a Dunlop one please?

Daniel Summers - 7 months ago

Old Cleveland Launcher. I have one if you need a loaner :-)

Jonny The Weasel - 7 months ago

You can test my old Ping G30 if you like?

XesserX - 7 months ago

I would love to see you try some of the white Taylormade models with wings on them again! You tested a 3-wood I believe it was, some years back and were very surprised by the sound it made. I also think it went quite far actually... Could be fun to see again.

David McClelland - 7 months ago

I paid 23 quid 2 months ago mint condition with a pro force V2 shaft. Cracking driver. And that was the delivered price

David McHutchison - 7 months ago

I still have (and sometimes use) mine, which I got from Kev Harper

Bob Pegram - 7 months ago

Test an Adams Redline 430Q driver. It can be adjusted for total weight (swingweight) and weight distribution in the head. Thanks.

dillingerexcape87 - 7 months ago

i have this club at 10.5 loft with a regular diamana mitsubishi rayon shaft. 60 gram i believe. i bought it probably 9 years ago for 80 USD. My favorite driver I've hit so far. I prefer it to my Ping g400

David Hutton - 7 months ago

Hi Mark. If you fancy an interesting test, I'd love to see you try the Cleveland HiBore XLS. It was my first standalone driver purchase (after a budget boxset) and cost me about £30. It had a really interesting head shape with a huge stepped face/body, and easily the loudest driver I hit (and I mean loud! Turning heads at the range for sure!)

Interested to see you test something a little unusual

Chester - 7 months ago

5:00 Sure I would sell them another driver. You told them, and they chose not to listen, so you may as well get the sale rather than another shop.

brown55061 - 7 months ago

Mark I read an article several years back that said the 905T Titleist was still one of their hottest faces ever and that it stacked up against the 913 and 915 at the time. But I find that pretty hard to believe. Maybe see if you can debunk that theory, a 905 should be fairly cheap.

Keith Stannard - 7 months ago

Really enjoying all your old driver reviews. I refuse to pay £100's for the new fad so try to use good quality 2nd hand ones. Would be grateful if you could review Titleist 905R and the Ping Rapture V2 - which is best for an 18 handicapper?

Conor Green - 7 months ago

Another good video Mark, good job.

Can you do a test of the Callaway x hot driver against the rogue/mavrik please.

I started playing in '13 and had the x hot as my first set, just replaced it with mavrik irons and rogue driver/wood/hybrid.

I'm noticing a good gain in distance but largely due to a straighter flight (have changed from 10.5 to 9 degree). However, I've had some swing changes with my driver in particular so it is hard to see what impact the equipment is having v a better technique.

Cheers

chachifeere - 7 months ago

910 series was the start for all the good titilest drivers

Larry Young - 7 months ago

Mark, could you do some testing with width of stance with the driver???

Larry Young - 7 months ago

Hahaha....you got shafted, sir....

Francisco Magariello - 7 months ago

I've played this driver through my junior years in an Aldila VS Proto and it was fantastic!!! Got to a 2 handicap with that! Sorry I haven't kept it

Dave Gannon - 7 months ago

Hi Mark - my son Zac’s first attempt at a golf vid any feedback welcome https://youtu.be/wdzJDDkRtxY

SethyGaming - 7 months ago

Man, I am tired of simulators and club testing. Muppets belong on the course playing more!

Ian Shepherd - 7 months ago

new cobra F8+ from 2 years ago is like 150$ us right now im sure you could find a used one for 100$ (in fact ill sell you one for 100$)

Thom Bendtsen - 7 months ago

$25.00

Ed Gamble - 7 months ago

The 907D1 is my current gamer. 9.5 deg, 460 cc with an Aldila 67 gm stiff ‘exclusively for Titleist’ shaft. I’ll be upgrading to a Mizuno ST200 this summer.

Chris Dark - 7 months ago

Would love to see the original king cobra TI deep face driver. Loved that thing!

gts golf - 7 months ago

don't hold the pose with that shaft, it was trying to wrap round your neck.

Andrew Natt - 7 months ago

Great vid, thanks

Andrew Natt - 7 months ago

This video reminds me - My best mate was carrying his clubs (post game beer) past the clubhouse, walked a little too close to the wall and snapped his driver head off! Had to get it reshafted and chose the cheapest shaft he could find, then hated it and wacked it on ebay.......

Vidur Renjen - 7 months ago

I still use the R9. A great driver. Would be great to see a review

adsflavzz - 7 months ago

I literally just picked one of these up locally for $40 (Aussie dollars) with a 76 gram stiff Proforce V2. It is straight and pretty long when hit well. I think a lot of Titleist snobs turn their nose up at this model but I quite like it. It's a good hidden buy. A friend had a 907D1 back in the day and that was also a really easy to hit driver which is even more forgiving. Good review Mark.

Philinlucky44 - 7 months ago

cool vid as usual, The first upgraded club i bought moving on from an original starter set was a Taylormade Ti Bubble 2, 10.5 deg Driver I loved it back then in the mid 90's It would be fun to see a review from you and the numbers you get from it !! they sell on ebay for about 15 quid bargain..... thanks Mark

ajaytuk - 7 months ago

on a non related subject- what would you say is the best shots gained app at the moment?

ajaytuk - 7 months ago

Bargain- but I thought you were going to say 15 quid ! I got a new driver yesterday for 9 quid- I put a new grip on :-)

Tony Croxon - 7 months ago

The one I replaced my TZoid with was the Cleveland Launcher... Brilliant club, clean lines and again, trustworthy

Holeinone - 7 months ago

975D

Tony Croxon - 7 months ago

I used to play the Mizuno TZoid. kept it fur years!! That always felt solid and trustworthy. Only 'upgraded' when I couldn't squeeze any more yard's out of it.

Chris L - 7 months ago

Alrite Mark, I'm new to golf this year and for my first driver my mate has given me a Callaway X2 Hot 10.5° regular shaft. Could you test please

Ben Young - 7 months ago

905R pleeeease!

David Higgins - 7 months ago

If titleist, 905r. Try Nike ignite driver also

Matty P - 7 months ago

909d3

Matty P - 7 months ago

There was also a D4 that was tour issue only.

matt becham - 7 months ago

They were heavy to me and sounded dead.

Patrick Scribner - 7 months ago

How about one of the old Cobra drivers? I think I have an old Fspeed driver sitting around in my bag. Man that thing was lout to hit

Joel Crow - 7 months ago

These are still beautiful drivers. I love the old teardrop-shaped heads, miss them so much!

Charles Farley - 7 months ago

Would like to see you put a cheaper version of your standard of shaft in there and retesting.

Nigel Day - 7 months ago

Mark , I love these older club reviews.. would you consider doing a video on adjusting driver lie angle ? And can you override these changes? Is it even a thing ?

joacim collskog - 7 months ago

callaway f9

steven staley - 7 months ago

Test the ping K15 please

nawtynick9 - 7 months ago

Please review Titleist 905R

outburger - 7 months ago

please do dual weighted r7 and a cobra long tom. interesting series. thanks for your efforts

Peter Hutchinson - 7 months ago

How about testing a Titleist 983. You can buy them on Ebay for as little as £10 plus postage.

Rob Biles - 7 months ago

Give the TM Aeroburner a wack. Lets see if the wing has still got what it takes.

Alex Hooper - 7 months ago

Couple cult classics out there are the ping G15 and titleist 910 d2/d3. Others that are interesting. Cleveland hibore and taylormade RBZ Tour.

Kridian01 - 7 months ago

Hah, if my current driver (2014) broke today, I'd have to pull out my D2.

JP Quinn - 7 months ago

I had a Srixon W-506 (I think), circa 2005. Reckon that would still perform well.

Chris Wilson - 7 months ago

907 d1 was my favorite driver back in the day!!!

DanTuber - 7 months ago

D1 and D2 cost a fortune when they were released.

Craig Brown - 7 months ago

It woild be good for you to test these older drivers against say a £20 brand new slazenger or Dunlop and show the potential benefits of second hand against a really cheap new driver

Solomon Li - 7 months ago

Great looking club.... I always love when Mark goes after the shaftoids. LOL

Craig Lightowler - 7 months ago

Mark move on from this shit now it was good in lockdown but we are not now get some proper material up I like watching your channel but you need to be careful coz dan is taking over if you don’t start putting some course flogs up plus you don’t post as much as you normally do why is that???

Daniel Cohen - 7 months ago

The Comet shaft wasn't as good as the Nimbus 2000.

Blue Lizard - 7 months ago

Would love to see some old fairway woods reviewed

Joe Graham - 7 months ago

Wish you would have picked the 910 d2

Diver - 7 months ago

I'd like to see a Wilson Invex please, if you can find 1. Loving these tests.

Andy Taylor - 7 months ago

Ping G5 next Mark.. Enjoying these old Drivers..

Mitch Morris - 7 months ago

I still use the 3 wood in that model

RingroStar - 7 months ago

Please test a Driver of the Cleveland Hibore Series (original, XL, or monster)

Euge140 - 7 months ago

Nike Covert 2.0
I have 1 in a regular shaft if you are interested?

Steve Kennerley - 7 months ago

Hi mark, great show. Have you ever played with a ping rapture, I have the original 460, is there much different with V2 apart from the shape? Cheers Steve
Ps loving your set up

Damien Reid - 7 months ago

I’d love to see how the Wilson Deep Red Fat Shaft would get on

Andrew Risebro - 7 months ago

Hi Mark, good video.
Does the shaft cause you to strike on different parts of the face?

Costrou - 7 months ago

Titleist 905R

steve harper - 7 months ago

Callaway big Bertha alpha ,it’s what I play at moment , just wonder if it’s me that cannot hit it, or it’s the club, irons and wedges all good

steve harper - 7 months ago

As long as your honest with the customer, it’s their choice to change not yours , coming from a salesman to be fair , some people just like spending money

BigMalky - 7 months ago

Thank you Thank you..... I had this driver until last year! Great you thought was good but even better you said it was for better players

terry Nolan-King - 7 months ago

How about the tm r7 I loved that club and I think it would perform as good as any of the new ones

terry Nolan-King - 7 months ago

@The Dirty Lawn Boy still have mine aswell keep threatening to get it out and give it a go

The Dirty Lawn Boy - 7 months ago

Hell yeah, I have the original r7 425. Best driver ever!!

Mike Warmbold - 7 months ago

R7 Quad was such a nice looking club. 460 and 425 option makes me think it is exactly the same as newer TM clubs, ha.

Lee Fairbank - 7 months ago

Selling 1 now £25 ,,and a r5xl £25 ,haha

Steven Jumper - 7 months ago

Is an sldr old enough?

Brett Harris - 7 months ago

With the people that are constantly buying new clubs I like yourself tell that's it no better. However I would keep selling them clubs as for some people it's about the chase of the mythical club that will change there game.

Simon Chadwick - 7 months ago

I use a Taylormade R7 Superquad. Not sure when they came out but it was a while ago! And my putter is from 2002 I think. I change irons a lot more frequently than drivers.

kevin Humphreys - 7 months ago

Love the club reviews off e-bay ....This is our Avenue for picking clubs up . Test the club at a affordable price and if it grabs you and does good then pushes you into buying the newest clubs x

Ian Collins - 7 months ago

Watching this series has led me to looking on a used golf club website,
Quite good to see all the Drivers that was out of my price range are now well within my grasp RAZR for £75
I'm resisting the urge to go down the rabbit hole

Matt Brooking - 7 months ago

Wow that shaft! I’m sure you could see it bend on back swing!

Randy Mahony - 7 months ago

Never played a Titleist driver. I wonder how you would hit it with your lite shaft in it. Stay safe. Cheers

cprince77 - 7 months ago

I still have a 907D1 in the basement if you want to give it a go, I think the funniest thing is that Titleist even hated these clubs... If you go to their website and look at the archived clubs, the 907's aren't even there...

Wesley Fontaine - 7 months ago

Cobra f Speed and S3 ...test please. Bought mizuno mp driver because of your test. Will play a round tommorrow to test it. Cheers love the content.

DaFuqUwnt * - 7 months ago

I still game the D1 it's very long at the back almost triangle shaped, o can imagine this was to help get the ball up in the air but it's only a 7.5⁰ so who knows

Donald Rider RIDER - 7 months ago

Had that driver, it was great!

Finbarr Buckley - 7 months ago

Actually just got a super mint 910 d3 driver from eBay. Such a pretty look. Mainly why I got it. It was 10th of the price of a modern driver. With the adjustability, I can dial it in the way I want it. All this new branding in golf is insane

Stephen Azevedo - 7 months ago

When the Mark Crossfield Documentary inevitably begins production, may I suggest the title of "262".

James Platford - 7 months ago

I've just bought a mizuno mp600 driver to keep in my spare set...
It's in great condition cost £42.20 inc postage and it absolutely flies....
I can't believe driver tech has moved on that much in 10 years

Jon Hall - 7 months ago

Got to be the 905r. Just an awesome club.

David Stephens - 7 months ago

Would love to see you try a Yonex driver Mark. They lose so much on the second hand market, so you can get relatively new ones at rock bottom prices, but back in the late nineties/early 2000s when I was starting out in golf, I loved the feel of the Yonex ADX woods and I got great results with them.

Alternative Golf - 7 months ago

The new Yonex versions are

dave palmerton - 7 months ago

A lot of nice clubs available for the money. Just a word on your presentation; you seem so relaxed in your reviews, the words flow off your tongue. It make the audience feel they are with you alone in the garden; well done as usual.

2piecechickenbox - 7 months ago

Callaway Big bertha 454 Ti up next!!

Craig - 7 months ago

Great series Mark really enjoying it. I wonder if the message is getting through to the golfing masses yet? I unfortunately have my doubts because I saw a Rick S****s "has a new driver" video which had over 400k views in a day.........so sad. Nick Faldo success video please Sir (I will keep asking)

Barry Emery - 7 months ago

Of course you would sell them another one if that is your living, you have told them that in your opinion changing driver every 3 or 4 months is not the way to improve their game, it’s not your fault if they choose to ignore the advice. Money would be better spent having a series of lessons but at the end of the day, the customer is always right, or not!

Brian Waldo - 7 months ago

I’m enjoying the “old” club reviews. I’d be interested to see a review of the Ping G5. I have one in 13.5* with a reg Prolaunch Blue shaft. I use it at a local course where my usual driver is too long and my 3 wood is too short. It’s reliable and consistent and just fun to smash.

P Dub - 7 months ago

What are these white dots you put on your clubs?

Brian Cleminson - 7 months ago

They let the GC Quad launch monitor 'see' the clubface better.

Trizzy - 7 months ago

Keith Finley - 7 months ago

D1 was the horrible triangular shape. Straight but short like the square ones. D2 was great with Aldila VS proto.

Alan Nield - 7 months ago

Taylormade R7

Will .M - 7 months ago

The Titleist 905R(previous gen to the d2) was better, IMO. Test that ☝️.
D1 was the triangular shape.

Andrew Thomas - 7 months ago

@Matty P 975R new to me last season with a 75 gram V2 and it is a beast. Love the shape, love the sound.

Matty P - 7 months ago

905R was possibly best driver titleist released for till the 917 d3

Aussie Golfer - 7 months ago

Another great video buddy

Mick Barrett - 7 months ago

I had the d1. Only just sold it last month to eventually upgrade. Didn't hit anything better in all that time. Great driver. Great content pal

It'd be fun to see you take these drivers out on the courses! and $22 bucks...then heard it was $28, so close enough! Would love to see y'all play actual golf with these! Especially that one mizuno driver!

Thanks mark. These clubs are classic and can help just about anyone.
