  1. Hey Mark – what is the reason of you not gaming the Cobra BioCell + driver.
    If you got better numbers than the SLDR, with no fitting done to it. Is it
    the sound or why isn’t it in your consideration. Keep up the good Work! :)?

  2. What about the Cobra Bio Cell plus? That looks great and you hit great
    numbers with it. Why is that not in the bag, or at least the equation??

  3. Cobra bio plus vs sldr video please. You hit bio plus the best in your
    videos and I’m stuck between the two?

  4. Glad you are open to the idea of what the SLDR is trying to accomplish with
    their “Loft up” campaign. Looks like the numbers are in the favor of
    Taylormade for the moment. I wonder what kind of driver they will come up
    with in another 6 months…?

  5. I tested both 20 shots Ping avg 164 ball speed 298 carry Sldr 161 ball
    speed 282 carry ?

  6. I agree with you totally. I spent 600$ on the 913D3 and shaft this
    year…went to a Taylormade Demo. SLDR in the bag! I hate the fact that I
    am using a Taylormade product…but 17yrds with less deviation….I can not
    afford NOT to have it in the bag!?

  7. Hi Mark – someone who worked for Cleveland in driver design told me a long
    time ago, max launch, lowest spin, max amount of air time produces the
    longest drives. That is why I have the Cleveland CCXL and hit up on the
    ball, getting 155 Ball Speed, 18 deg launch, sub 2000 spin = about 270
    carry.?

  8. Mark, it looks like it’s all about the spin difference. The ball speed and
    launch look very similar. I know the CG’s are different, but I would be
    real curious to see the results if you adjusted the i25 to 10 degrees
    loft. Thanks for the videos. ?

  9. Love the vid and explanations. How come coach lockey hits jet speed over
    sldr? What differences in his swing to yours mean that is better for him
    over the sldr??

  10. This is great. I would love to get your help fitting me optimizing me and
    my driver. Very informative. Thanks alot for great videos!?

  11. Are the MOI numbers the same on both of these clubs? I’m guessing SLDR has
    a lower MOI with the weight being forward. If that is the case, could you
    deduce, using your dispersion numbers, that the selling point of high MOI
    is overrated? Could you possibly do a vid on the differences in
    distance/dispersion between these two clubs with toe/heel hits for us
    amateurs? I think it could be of more help to us when we decide to buy
    equipment. Thanks.?

  12. Mark,

    I’m sure you have millions of comments to cipher through. So hopefully you
    catch this one! I do have a question for you!

    Your carry numbers in the test for the SLDR seem to be quite similar to
    what you showed in your Covert 2.0 Tour test. Is the idea of the lower spin
    the reason for gaming the SLDR instead of the other comparable options?
    Also, have you ever given thought to the SLDR 430? A lot of guys seem to be
    crushing that one FURTHER than the 460!?

  13. Thanks for explaining the loft up and how it works, Im sick and tired of
    poeple going, UUH, imma loft up as well, bla bla bla, and than they say
    they use some other driver with extra low cgi and so on.
    Thing is, with the new Tourpreferred MBs and CBs, taylormade got back into
    my good graces! I like what they are doing at the moment.
    Can u test the SLDR miniDriver?! Essentially a bigger 2,3,4 wood with a
    deep face, I suppose, so they are hit off the ground for the better
    players, but the moi supports the higher handicapper off the tee, too.
    BTW, how is ur experiment going with the jpx EEEASIES?! Anything to say
    about it. (for exampls, Im a 33 HCP and am gaming mp33s, hahah, yeah, but
    im playing better with them than anything else, love the look, gives me
    confidaaance and preferred ballflight) ?

  14. hey Mark. I notice when you take your back swing you right arm/elbow is
    creating a gap with your body or is not perpendicular to the ground.
    According to my instructor I should be doing that, what are your thoughts?
    thanks Abdullah?
