PING G430 MAX 10K DRIVER REVIEW // Worth The Money? 

Cheers John. I was surprised how well it performed, especially with on that shot out the heel and it went bullet straight!

Thanks Wesley. Will do pal 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 keep liking them and spreading the word please, mate 👍🏻

Gotta admit it’s pretty good in initial testing. Looking forward to going through a full fitting and trying some adjustments on it with weighting and exotic shafts

Cheers pal. I’ve been struggling with it if I’m honest, and these reviews so far haven’t put the clubs in the best light, if truth be told

It’s something we’re looking at doing

That’s age and marriage for you! Not to mention I’m now a Grandpa at age 44 😂😂😂

Well it’s an expensive club, that’s for certain. But, I’d get hold of a 2nd hand G425 and put your shaft in it. That was a 10K driver before 10K was a marketable thing. Save you some pennies

@@robpottergolf didn’t know that. The max version?

Damn it! I got it off the Ping G430 Max HL Driver spec. Believe it or not, they don’t actually say on Ping’s website what the weight is in the Max 10K. Cheers for the heads up.

@@robpottergolf no problem. I only know because I custom fitted mine and replaced the 28 for a 25 to keep the swing weight playable with my shaft

@@matthewthompson6329 interested to hear what your shaft is and what length. I am putting a ventus in the 10k and will want to play around with weight

@@ericjones5291 I have a diamana D+ limited 60TX playing 45" I put a midsize grip on it and changed weight to 25 to play D3

Well you’re welcome to come and come give us all the facts and schematics for the next vlog. Happy to have a ‘Statto’ section. Could prove to be popular.

Not at all mate. I chose to take an indefinite break from doing anything on RU-vid. Mix of family commitments, career commitments, wanting to concentrate on my own game without distractions, my own ill health, creative blocks which resulted in confidence issues - so much more than meets the eye. I never started RU-vid to earn money. I was actually blind to the fact you could, when the channel was first created 12 years ago. Literally had no clue. I have been monitised on RU-vid, but due to the break I lost that. The plan to return started 12 months ago through a chance conversation with Nick and myself and we started to formulate plans, ideas and visions of what we’d like to do together and with it, I decided to re-launch the channel. I have another review that’s currently in edit, and hopefully released in the coming week. But again, due commitments that Nick has had, that’s been outside his and my control, I’ve delayed the release of this particular review as we’ve been unable to film for 4 weeks or so. Plus there’s a course vlog in edit that was shot a few weeks ago in Ireland. So more to come and things will grow with time. And if it doesn’t then who cares? I’ve got a full time job that I love, and regardless I’ll have that as my main focus. I’ll continue to do it for as long as I enjoy it and Nick has time and desire to want to lend his knowledge in the reviews.

@@robpottergolf woooah buddy, you really didn’t have to go that deep to satisfy my question. I was merely thinking out loud and curious. I’m a massive RU-vid consumer and it all fascinates me. I got the impression from what you said in the videos that this was going to be a new venture with regular uploads. Do you still speak to the folks that ended up growing big channels? Could you get them on some videos? I can’t help but think that the golf RU-vid community is not a very nice, friendly place. People just seem to step all over others to advance their own interests and leave smaller channels behind and just try collabong with bigger channels to get exposure. Smelly little world from the outside looking in

Just wanna be transparent, pal. If you’re prepared to give time to watch something I post, then only fair I respond if you have an enquiry, a critique, or a compliment. It’s something I’ve always tried to do, even when I used to appear on Ricks channel. As I say, Nick has had some set backs and I’ve had a few things crop up beyond my control. So it’s been a catch 22 as what best to do. Release the review we shot a few weeks back with a gap before the next or just wait til I have more footage filmed and then I can drop them regular again? Weather has been garbage so couldn’t get out to film, and it’s hardly gonna show the courses in a good light at the moment. Although I do have one course vlog from Ireland that I’ll get out very soon. As for getting other, more established folk in the channel, it’s tough. It’s their full time job, so getting them on means it’s time they’re not creating content and there’s nothing in it for them. Yes, I was lucky getting Rick on the channel 5-6yrs ago but that was just a review of the season and frankly, it got very little views. And your observation about the RU-vid space is an interesting one. I keep my thoughts and ideas to myself regarding what I’m going to create now. I had a few experiences with some creators where I naively shared some thoughts of content I wanted to do, and next thing I know, they’d done it, or something strikingly similar with they’re own twist. It’s one of the reason I stopped creating anything for as long as I did. Kinda had enough of what I’d witnessed and asked myself the question of “Do I need this?” But I missed reviewing equipment, and well, Nick is the best in the business in my opinion and I’ve always wanted to film stuff with him. So we both had the same idea at the same time, like literally, so we’ve decided to go for it and see how folk take it. Honestly pal, I appreciate the feedback. And for you to give that feedback/observation shows I’m still slightly relevant, which is a good thing and makes me want to crack on with stuff. So thanks for watching and thanks for getting in touch.

@@robpottergolf good lad 👍

Coz he chose to wear it!. Hasn’t realised the Paris Fashion week judges had such an interest, in the golf apparel, of RU-vid presenters 😂😂😂

Work in progress, my friend. Always room to improve and develop. It’s something both Nick and I have discussed between ourselves. Thanks for watching and commenting though.

Someone always has something negative to say...dear lord.

Cheers, Nick. His G425 Max is the OG 10k driver, mate. So he’s fine with that for a while 👍🏻

Coz they’re the big story currently. More reviews to come with other clubs, though. Stay tuned, coz we’ve lots more to come in the coming months.

Cheers Lee. Means a lot pal.

😂😂😂 good luck with that

@@robpottergolf on it's way, still loves me after 40 yrs

It’s on the cards pal. We’ve an interesting test coming up soon with some exotic shafts

@@robpottergolf I swing it around 100mph it’s given me another 5mph. However it does feel whippy like a senior flex. At first you think I can’t use this. Ridiculous.

More to come! Keep liking and sharing the reviews please mate. We’ve loads of ideas we wanna bring in the coming weeks and months 👍🏻
