We’re getting into our 2019 vs. 2020 model testing! Starting with the new Callaway Mavrik Sub Zero: see how it stacks up against last year’s Epic Flash Sub Zero!
Russell made a massive charge on the last 3 holes of the 2026 Charles Schwab Challenge this weekend to force a playoff with Eric Cole. Henley drained another putt on the first playoff hole to win his 6th PGA Tour event! While he is a Titleist staff member, his WITB is far from a simple blend of the latest gear. He mixes brand new with some very old clubs in order to play his best.

What happens when a 10 handicap and a +4 handicap go through a full driver fitting at one of the most advanced golf performance centers in the world? Brian Knudson and Andrew Von Lossow headed to the Titleist Performance Institute in Oceanside, California, to find out.
Both players go through a complete Titleist GTS driver fitting with the Titleist fitting team to see how swing speed, launch conditions, strike location, shaft profile, and head setup can completely change performance off the tee. Even though the golfers have very different games, the fitting process reveals just how important proper equipment can be for maximizing distance, tightening dispersion, and improving consistency.
You will see how Titleist fitters analyze every part of the driver setup including loft, weighting, shaft selection, and head model to build a driver specifically for each player’s swing. While the skill levels, club head speeds, and desired outcomes are different both players show how deep and versatile the new Titleist GTS driver lineup is.

people will switch out to the Mavrik because it sounds, feel, looks better?……small gain is still a gain. I think for the fitted person big gains will not happed.

I like the Flash sound a lot. Sound is subjective. Everyone loves the sound and feel of the TS drivers and I hated them

Just goes to show how awesome today’s equipment has become. So good that it’s near impossible to make improvements. $500 for 2 yards at 177mph ball speed = nil gains at mortal weekend golfer ball speeds

You are so correct sir ! Wife wanted to give me a new driver to replace my current gamer (XR-16 with Matrix Ozik 6X3 White Tie shaft) so I gave it whirl ,, total distance gained,,, 2 yards, not average, but my best was 2 yards longer,,, salesman tried to sell the tighter dispersion ( 1 yard average),,, XR-16 still in bag,,,
