do you have a current gamer that you will compare or just feedback in general on this one?!

Dumb question, as you have probably hit a lot of different drivers in the past 6 months.
 
Was cleaning out my bookshelf and found an Arccos Driver unit I forgot I had. Will strap it to my EXS220 for Saturday’s round.

nice find! thats awesome!
 
Played yesterday. Had the first tee time and nobody was pressing behind me so I played the EXS220 driver for score and also hit my Epic Flash to get some comparisons. Temps were decent around 60* at tee off and 70 ish when I finished. Rained Thursday and Friday so roll wasn’t premium but decent for as much rain as we had. Driver swing has been off a bit but think I sorted some of that out as the round went on

Hole 10 - EXS 204, Flash 200, both in play. Led to a par

Hole 11 - EXS 233 miss right, Flash 183 bad miss left (into next fairway). Par

Hole 12 - EXS 195 miss right, Flash 192 miss left - par

Hole 14 - EXS 226 FW, Flash 240 FW - par

Hole 16 - EXS OB, Flash 215 FW - double bogey with the OB tee shot

Hole 18 - EXS 225 FW, Flash 220 FW - par

Hole 20 - EXS 208 miss right, Flash OB - double bogey after and errant OB 2nd shot

Hole 21 - EXS 222 FW, Flash 208 miss left - birdie

Hole 25 - EXS 171 (hit a tree on right side), Flash 237 FW - bogey

Hole 27 - EXS 225 FW, Flash 231 FW - birdie.

Not sure why but for some reason I kept pushing the ball right with the EXS220. Usually that means the shaft is too long for me and I am getting shallow with my swing. But it’s 45" just like my Flash is.

The thing is those high pushes are usually really long drives IF they don't hit anything.
Unfortunately, there were trees on nearly all of those holes that got me into trouble.

Overall it seems like the Flash puts up potentially longer distance but the EXS220 seems to have a little more consistent distance if that makes sense.
I’m not a big sound guy but after hitting these more side by side I think the EXS220 has a more pleasing sound than the Flash.

Ok cannot guarantee the accuracy of these distances this week. I was using GPS and placement. Some might be off but great day driving the ball aside from first tee shot right.

1 255
2. 267
3. Par3
4. 287 cart path bounced
5. 267
6. 3w
7. Par 3
8. 282
9. Bad swing 205
10. 267
11. Par 3
12. Iron
13. 3w
14. 265
15. 259
16. Hybrid
17. Par 3
18. 278

I had some help on a few of the deep balls with a slight wind or down hill. 18 was off and came in 302 but I know I didn't hit it that far and tees were way off on start.

As far as accuracy... I pushed a few right (my swing not club). loving the feedback and sound... Kinda sounds like a powerful cut.

definitely getting the ball out there. are you playing the 9 or 10.5*?
 
I've got the 9.5. I think it was just a great driving day... Didn't have that smooth swing last Thursday.
 
Well, some thoughts.

I turned the 220 down to 8.5 today and the numbers were quite good. Got back into the 160’s ball speed but the spin was just ok. Still hitting 34-35 yard peaks with it set low too.

Now that I have...too many...of the current releases, I think this has the most powerful and all around pleasant sound for me....and that’s got me really wanting to give it a crack at the bag again.

It also has me really wanting to hit the new Pro. Badly.

Going to try and get some head to head data tomorrow for fun. I’ve got to coach some of my HS girls in the morning first, but I hope to still be able to get some LM time.

Both with the same Evenflow Riptide Small Batch 60 6.5, at the same length, same loft, and same swing weight.
 
For those curious....

And don't mind the mark on the 220 up high, 250+ driver swings we are lucky that's the worst I have done :oops:

Need to put the original EXS in this test also! That EXS 220 Pro shaping looks great!

Did you try wiping the face mark with a magic eraser or light rubbing with a scotch brite pad ?

It’s scratched dude, those things won’t work on a scratched black face. Not worries about it anyway, it’s not a biggie.

I couldn’t tell if it was scratched or just Was paint from the ball left behind.

same strike on the pro model would result in a bomb!!!
 
That Pro shape looks great
 
Figure some will be interested in this, some interesting data based on strikes/misses. Tour Edge claimed 400 RPM from the standard 220, I'm in that wheelhouse. Also, the Pro was hit cold which makes it more impressive to me personally, highest ball speed I have hit in months.
