Are LS drivers becoming irrelevant??? Plus we name which driver manufactures made the biggest leap this year

In episode 326 of *Golf’s Fully Equipped*, hosts Johnny and Jake dive into the evolving landscape of driver technology, questioning whether low-spin (LS) driver heads are becoming obsolete. They argue that core models from Callaway, TaylorMade, and Ping—like the TD Max, QI4D, and Optum X—are so advanced in terms of weighting, MOI, and launch optimization that they can replicate the performance of LS heads without the need for a separate category. The hosts highlight that players like Gary Woodland and Xander Schauffele have driven the ball better with back-weighted, neutral setups, suggesting LS heads no longer offer a unique advantage. They also praise the massive leap in PXG’s driver performance, which has gone from being overlooked to being a serious contender in fitting rooms. The conversation shifts to irons, where the hosts lament the confusion in the market due to overlapping categories and unclear differentiation between models. They advocate for consumer experimentation and fitting, emphasizing that the best iron is the one that feels right in your hands. The episode closes with a humorous, candid reflection on the podcast’s unstructured, authentic style and a tease for the upcoming Masters preview from Augusta.
