Golf bros, finally carrying my driver 210
Poast new message in this thread
Date: June 11th, 2025 3:25 AM Author: Buff Multi-colored Fanboi But I'm somehow getting this with single digit launch angles and 3800 rpm backspin. That seems suboptimal (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5736063&forum_id=2Elisa#49004390) |

Date: June 11th, 2025 11:27 AM Author: Buff Multi-colored Fanboi My stupid sim doesn't show that, only see it when I take lessons
I hit 15-20 like this with 6-10 launch angles and 210ish carry
Half my drives bounced off the screen and almost hit me so I probably won't go here anymore

Date: June 11th, 2025 11:32 AM Author: bronze gunner Do you know if you're hitting it low on the face? Low on the face results in low launch and high spin, and gives you much less distance than middle and above. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5736063&forum_id=2Elisa#49005162) |

Date: June 11th, 2025 11:34 AM Author: Buff Multi-colored Fanboi Yes and that is what sucks about Ping
I'm still messing around with ball placement (toe vs heel) and teeing it higher
Supposedly the new Cobra Max-K has much better high low face dispersion in general though |
Date: June 11th, 2025 11:16 AM Author: Buff Multi-colored Fanboi Just ordered a DS-Adapt Max-K to potentially replace my g440 max (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5736063&forum_id=2Elisa#49005087) |
|
Date: June 11th, 2025 11:17 AM Author: insecure exhilarant fortuitous meteor I demoed a G440 a few weeks ago. it felt I was hitting the ball with a brick. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5736063&forum_id=2Elisa#49005097) |
|
Date: June 11th, 2025 11:18 AM Author: bronze gunner That's how every Ping driver has felt forever. You either love it or hate it. I love how stable they feel. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5736063&forum_id=2Elisa#49005104) |
|
Date: June 11th, 2025 11:23 AM Author: Gaped Regret Crrrr I have a 430 Max 10k. I feel like I could swing with my eyes closed and still hit the fairway (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5736063&forum_id=2Elisa#49005118) |
|
Date: June 11th, 2025 11:30 AM Author: bronze gunner Same. It's also incredible at keeping spin in a tight range even if you hit it all over the face. Played a 430 Max in 2024 but the 10k beat it out this year in testing, especially on the course. Just straighter and does better at keeping misses playable. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5736063&forum_id=2Elisa#49005145) |
|
Date: June 11th, 2025 11:34 AM Author: Gaped Regret I upgraded last year from a G LST that I'd had for 7 or 8 years. Big improvement. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5736063&forum_id=2Elisa#49005172) |
|
Date: June 11th, 2025 11:38 AM Author: Buff Multi-colored Fanboi I play with a guy in his 60s who uses the g430 10k with nemesys 55
He tees it up high and super forward and absolutely nukes it
Last time at the range he was carrying it past the longest flag at 230 |
|
Date: June 11th, 2025 11:23 AM Author: irate bright base party of the first part I really have to get out there and try one of these. My Big Bertha is okay (and was free) but the Ping hype is real. I somehow doubt that any equipment can really add much distance unless you're playing really old clubs but I could be wrong. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5736063&forum_id=2Elisa#49005119) |
|
Date: June 11th, 2025 11:27 AM Author: insecure exhilarant fortuitous meteor I prefer my Titleist 915 over the G440. I liked the red project X shaft though. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5736063&forum_id=2Elisa#49005133) |
|
Date: June 11th, 2025 11:31 AM Author: Buff Multi-colored Fanboi You probably have a non-conforming face that's ultra hot
Rory's driver was recently banned because of this |
|
Date: June 11th, 2025 11:33 AM Author: insecure exhilarant fortuitous meteor I doubt that's true. it just feels better and I can work/flight it better. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5736063&forum_id=2Elisa#49005163) |
|
Date: June 11th, 2025 11:40 AM Author: Buff Multi-colored Fanboi It's a compliment because it assumes that you beat the fuck off the ball
You mentioned having irons issues too. I would take a steel ruler to confirm that your faces aren't impacted on any. This is a known issue with older titleist irons for high speed swingers |
|
Date: June 11th, 2025 11:52 AM Author: insecure exhilarant fortuitous meteor my irons are Ping i500s from a few years ago. I don't particularly like them and the heads fall off randomly. I played with a dude last fall with g-series cavity backs and the same thing happened. something is off with the epoxy they use when assembling the clubs.
I carry my driver like 260-270. nothing crazy. |
|
Date: June 11th, 2025 11:55 AM Author: Buff Multi-colored Fanboi This is why I prefer Japanese brands for non-bladed irons now
All the American brands put stupid plastic emblems or have other weird design glitches trying to mask that it's a cavity back
Like Callaway advertising the ai200 as forged face and head, but there's a fucking plate screwed into the back of the head |
|
Date: June 11th, 2025 9:55 PM Author: insecure exhilarant fortuitous meteor I’m talking about the heads literally disconnecting from the shaft at impact. It’s happened to me twice and I’ve seen it happen to another guy with similar era Pings in the past 3 years (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5736063&forum_id=2Elisa#49007030) |
|
Date: June 11th, 2025 11:28 AM Author: Buff Multi-colored Fanboi Those super forgiving Callaway drivers like BB have way too much draw bias and backspin, once your swing slightly resembles the correct sequence (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5736063&forum_id=2Elisa#49005137) |
|
Date: June 11th, 2025 11:33 AM Author: irate bright base party of the first part Hm that might explain why I get almost no rollout. I carry about 200 currently, in the midst of a swing change. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5736063&forum_id=2Elisa#49005166) |
|
Date: June 11th, 2025 11:49 AM Author: Buff Multi-colored Fanboi You should definitely demo some lower spin/loft drivers with possibly stiffer flex shaft
Ping g430 lst or 10k or 440 max Cobra Darkspeed/DS-Adapt Max-K or x Callaway AI Smoke / Elyte Triple Diamond
Don't fuck with Titleist unless you get professionally fitted imo

Date: June 11th, 2025 8:30 PM Author: Buff Multi-colored Fanboi Try the Qi10 max too
If you get it with the GD TOUR AD VF 6 it will look just like Tiger's driver |
