Today we're getting a premium shaft in one of my drivers! Which one will it be? Will the new choice from American Golf go in the final bag for 2024 or will the cheating stick from 2023 reign supreme? Hope you enjoy, Gaz!
Gaz, you're a smart cookie, you call it the cheating stick for a reason and it's brought you some proper scores in the last year. Just forget about trying to change it. Shout out to Sam for the ping fitting as well 😎
Best advice I was ever given... When you find that one driver that's a sole mate just don't change it, or never sell it ! This guy seems to want to prove he can reinvent the wheel tbh 😮
Great video Gaz. Just goes to show if you find the right set up you should stick with it. Bet you don’t find a replacement this time next year either😂.
I would love to go and see Ross for my fist fitting, but a bit too far from Manchester - still not sure where to go near me except an American golf, which everyone says not to go to - my driver was part of a package so time for a new one now
Ross is a top bloke and very fair, you can pay your fitting fee, and as with you, Gaz, he put everything against the Ping. So you have the numbers and data to back it up, and I think it's the best way to look at a new product, what £100-150 as a fitting over £550 on a new toy that you have no real idea if it's better. Enjoyed the video.
Thanks Stephen. Exactly that, we are the most depth out there 🙌 we only showed a small amount in this video of what we did too. We hit a lot more shots 😂
Best outcome. Why is everyone on YT trying to justify not choosing the Ping. Some are even having head to heads without an apples v apples setup. (Do they not pay similar 😂) It was sound of the G425 why you should play a cally or TM, it’s turbulators are off putting, to choose titleist. Ping just flat out performs, what is it people don’t think it’s brand is sexy enough in the “bag show” stakes? Be interesting to see a in depth fit with the 10k v the standard G430 max. But you’d probs need to drop to 9deg on the 10k to match launch and they have a UK shortage of them. Mine not due until June 🙈
I had to replace my PXG Gen1 0811 driver this summer as the face was cracking..... I bought the same head 2nd hand to replace it for 100 quid (I'd already upgrade the shaft in a fitting to a Tour AD 😉). I tried the Gen 4 and Gen 5 versions recently and I couldn't see much difference. I need to get some numbers to prove it but the confidence I have with the older model and any minimal gains that might be available make it unlikely I'll change.... That said, I'd love to see what the Qi 10 has to offer 😆. I'm surprised that when you lofted down, which opens the face, you tended more towards a draw🤔.
Great video and loving watching Ross fit people…..so knowledgeable! Curious, I see some people say qi10 standard is a low spinning head and others high spinning head, just curious Ross, do you think it’s lower spin than stealth and stealth 2 or higher than those heads? Also, I thought standard head weight for qi10 is d4, did you configure it with back weight to be d1?
I think it's a little bit higher than previous models from what I've seen but in all honesty I haven't done a spec for spec head to head test of them. And swing weight wise it would have been the length difference rather than me changing the headweight that reduced the swingweight. Most stock off the shelf come around D6 now which is mad
should of tried 10k max ping with him, its meant to be low spinning compared to regular g430 max, as it sits between last g430 and the max. You might of been able to keep the forgiveness, familiarity and cheating stick but gained the few yards you were looking for ?
Wasn’t the test flawed from the start - as your ping has a 45 1/2 inch shaft but the ones you were trying were 45 inch (as the fitter didn’t have a longer one in stock)…?
Shaft length killed him… I think the extra shaft length helped the ping fade , it’s known as you go shorter it becomes easier to square the face or even close it .. shorter means faster face closure
