Clément, our field test engineer, sent the Driver 900 to Golf Laboratories in San Diego, USA. Why did he do this? Well, to have their robot hit balls with our Driver 900 to analyze its performance.
The aim of the first test was to compare the Driver 900's performance against a panel of competitors on the market. We found :
They are all mounted on the production shaft closest in characteristics to that of the Driver 900 high-speed, the UST Mamiya LIN-Q M40X White 6F5. The heads are set to the loft closest to 10°.
The robot is set to swing the club at a speed of 110 mph, with a 0° angle of attack and centered balls.
With 287.3 yards, the Driver 900 takes 3rd place in this test in total distance.
But the first conclusion to be drawn from this test is that the results are extremely close. We're talking about a performance variation of 3% between the shortest and longest of these 6 drivers. Even so, we're able to detect slight differences in distance because we're using a robot whose swing is virtually the same every time. Even a professional golfer can't achieve the same level of precision. So if a golfer were to hit 6 balls off the tee with these 6 drivers, the differences in distance would be explained far more by variations in his swing than by differences in club performance.
Last test, we tapped the 3 shafts on offer (LIN-Q White M40X WHITE 6F3 (regular), 6F4 (stiff) or 6F5 (x-stiff)) at the following 3 speeds:
Here are the results:
We can see that the shaft that gives the best results at high speed (110mph) is the 6F5, at medium speed (95mph) it's the 6F4 and at low speed (80mph) it's the 6F3. CQFD.
That's how we selected these 3 shafts, so that they offer the best performance for these 3 speeds.
Of course, this is still a robot test. The results provide a theoretical truth that you need to compare with your own swing. Depending on your tempo and if you're between two speeds, your results may be slightly different. Yet another good reason to test a Driver 900!
