Trackman compare: Would you upgrade your driver? Which upgrade candidate is best?

[Daddio]

Obviously I'm not as long as most of you all even with these numbers normalized to 85F at my altitude but rollout seemed 'ambitious'. The studio used my preferred gamer balls in fitting. Luckily my swing was relatively consistent. Drivers were set to similar lofts and shaft profiles. Averages for my gamer and the four best candidates to upgrade it:

CLUB / CHS / BALL / SMASH / AoA / DyLft / SPIN / PEAK / CAR / TOT / DISP / MISC
GAMR / 90.8 / 133.1 / 1.465 / +3.7 / 16.6 / 1924 / 70.0 / 214.2 / 240.8 / 11.5R / Largest Oval
----------------------------------------------UPGRADE CANDIDATES----------------------------------------------------
DRV A / 91.5 / 135.1 / 1.477 / +4.0 / 15.9 / 2028 / 65.7 / 217.5 / 248.5 / 12.1L / Oval @ 25% smaller than gamer oval
DRV B / 90.7 / 135.4 / 1.493 / +5.1 / 17.4 / 1885 / 76.2 / 223.0 / 252.7 / 16.4 R / 2nd tightest Oval
DRV C / 91.0 / 133.7 / 1.469 / +4.1 / 17.2 / 2126 / 79.6 / 220.2 / 248.1 / 17.0 R / Tightest Oval
DRV D / 90.9 / 134.0 / 1.474 / +3.8 / 15.0 / 1709 / 58.8 / 216.5 / 250.2 / 9.8 L / Oval only @ 10% smaller than gamer oval

I think C will produce the best results over the long run just based on your club head speed and the spin numbers it’s providing.

 

[Snickerdog]

I like C, dispersion is key IMO. The numbers are good all the way across.

 

[kevin81002]

Driver C. I'm a little worried about how low the spin is on driver B. C looks like the best all around option IMO.

 

[Muchmore]

B or C look the best. Distance doesn't do you any good if you can't consistently go where you wanna go. And luckily, those did both for you. More distance and tight dispersion. Based on your accuracy and spin, I would say C though.

 

[Tee/Ski]

I'm liking C. Lots of good stuff going on with that one.

 

[Daddio]

I probably didn't need to upgrade but that wouldn't have been much fun. Thanks everyone for your help. Looks like C takes it. I probably should've posted the thread B4 I bought my replacement. I went B because it was a tiny bit longer but it might not play out to be as consistent as C.

 

[Jman]

C.

The spin on the others concerns me.

What were the drivers??

 

[Daddio]

What were the drivers??

My gamer was a TM M3
Driver A was a TM SIM Max
Driver B was a CG MAVRIK
Driver C was a Miz ST200
Driver D was a CG MAVRIK SZ

 

[Tevenor]

That explains why D was so low on spin.

 

[bobver]

My suggestion is to do another test with Driver B and C head to head.

 

[Chef23]

If you can pick up 10 yards of carry and total distance I think it makes sense. For 4-6 yards it probably isn't worth $500.

 

[Summit]

B is the one I would dial in a little more. It showed the most potential in ball speed and efficiency. As long as it wasn't miles offline and inconsistent, it's the better choice of them all.

 

[WMac19]

Personally, B would absolutely leave me willing to check out other balls to maybe bring that spin up a bit. I'd probably opt for it as is but I'd be wanting to further experiment some.

Nearly 2 mph more ball speed over C. If a different ball may increase spin while maintaining ball speed, that could be nice.
