今天難得天氣轉暖,45度F/7度C。馬上拿起倚天劍和屠龍刀去練習場舞2下,Callaway Quantum Max 9度配上Matrix TP5HD R硬度桿身,上次打也是一樣的配置,今天是測試天氣暖和點,對於擊球的精準度是否有提升?另一支Titleist GT2 9度/Ventus TR black 5S,這是我最愛的木桿,很愛Titleist木桿的擊球回饋和效果,做為桿頭底座和桿面都是金屬材質,對比Callaway360度碳纖維材質桿頭,在擊球穩定性和精準度上是否有差異?
我必須說上次小試Quantum Max是氣溫差不多0度到2度C,身體很難熱起來,揮桿比較硬,握桿擊球也容易滑動。今天這樣的溫度只能說是基本可以接受,握桿也比較好握,不容易滑動(我這2支木桿配的握把是Iomic sticky),測試效果會比較接近實際下場狀況。鐵桿熱起來後,就先打Quantum Max 5球,再換GT2 打5球。休息打其他桿子,再休息一下,換打GT2 5球,再換Quantum Max 5球。這樣下來腰和上背就覺得有點酸了,所以就測試收工撤了。
先說Quantum Max,它的擊球打感應該是最特別,爽度滿格!因為擊球感覺很彈,尤其打在甜蜜點上,有點像打網球拍那樣的擊球感覺。球速也很噴,非常熱血,常常打出去球就已經不知道飛哪了,下次會在indoor裡有launch monitor進行測試,才能比較清楚瞭解球的飛行軌跡和數據。彈道來說不會高,launch angle應該在15度以內,是比較性能導向的桿子。和之前Callaway 木桿的基本款是有點不一樣。
但問題在我之前的疙瘩;就是擊球的掌握度或精準度/striking control。由於360度的碳纖維特性,使我不容易掌握桿頭/桿面的擊球位置,可以參考圖片,Quantum Max的擊球點比較分散在中間偏低位置。相較於GT2的桿頭底部為金屬材質,所以在擊球點的掌握上更在中間和中間偏上位置。這是比較可以接受的結果。因為中間偏下的位置會產生比較多的倒旋量,對距離也不好。
第二個問題是,由於是360度碳纖維材質特性,我比較容易會在striking的時候壓桿面,也就是可能10度的擊球面,被我壓成8度或更低的角度。導致我的球飛不太起來。我回家後就把Quantum Max桿面底座的配置螺絲換重,從2g換到7g,拉5g起來,看看能否改變這2個問題。因為上一次的測試在低溫狀況,這次溫度有起來,對擊球的位置掌握和擊球質量很糟!這是我用Callaway木桿從Rogue來,覺得最有難度的一支桿子。

"Man, today the weather finally warmed up a bit—45°F / 7°C, nice change! So I grabbed my drivers right away and headed to the driving range to swing a few. First up was the Callaway Quantum Max, 9° with the Matrix TP5HD R shaft—same setup as last time. Today I wanted to see if the warmer weather helps with accuracy and control on strikes.
My other one is the Titleist GT2, also 9°, paired with the Ventus TR Black 5S. That's my absolute favorite driver—I love the feedback and feel from Titleist woods. The head and face are all metal, compared to the Callaway's 360° carbon fiber head. So I was curious if there's a real difference in stability and precision.
Gotta say, last time I hit the Quantum Max it was like 0–2°C—body barely warmed up, swing felt stiff, grip was slipping all over the place. Today was way more comfortable, grip felt solid, no sliding, so the test should be closer to real on-course conditions.
After warming up with irons, I hit 5 balls with the Quantum Max, then switched to the GT2 for 5. Took a break, hit some other clubs, rested a bit, then did another 5 with GT2 and 5 more with Quantum Max. By then my lower back and upper back were getting sore, so I called it good.
Starting with the Quantum Max—its feel is super unique and honestly max fun! When you catch it on the sweet spot, it's like super springy and poppy, almost like hitting a tennis racket. Ball speed is insane, it just launches—balls were flying so far I sometimes lost where they went. Next time I'll do indoor with a launch monitor to get real data on flight and numbers. Trajectory isn't super high; launch angle probably under 15°, it's more performance-oriented. Definitely different from older Callaway base models.
But here's my issue from before: control and precision on strikes. That full 360° carbon fiber makes it hard to feel exactly where I'm hitting the face. From the dispersion pattern (check the pic), my strikes were mostly center-low. On the GT2, with the metal sole, strikes were more center to center-high, which feels way more predictable and acceptable. Low-center hits add too much spin and kill distance.
Second problem: because of the carbon everywhere, I tend to deloft the face at impact—like starting at 10° but pressing it down to 8° or lower, so the ball doesn't get up enough. When I got home I swapped the sole weight from 2g to 7g (+5g) to see if it helps fix those two things. Last test was in freezing cold, this time temps were up, but still my strike location and quality sucked. This is the toughest Callaway driver I've dealt with since the Rogue days.
