Won a Ping 430 10K driver in a raffle, already had the original 430 Max driver in my bag. At my slower swing speed the loss of spin with the 10K hurt my distance but man it was straight . Sold the 10K and sticking with ol faithful.

SHHHHHHH , dont let my wife hear that

A higher lofted utility iron, I use a TaylorMade DHY 5 which seems less driving iron / more utility iron seems to be a nice middle of both to me.

Now teste the Tour X please lol

At a slower swing speed I'm the same way but with 5 iron / hybrid, bought a well used TaylorMade DHY 5 utility iron off Fleabay at a good price and so far starting late last season and in sims this winter its been better than the hybrid or 5 iron for me. The DHY especially at the upper lofts are far less driving iron than most of the utility iron category to me , having tried it at several things it actually chips very well when gripped down on and low stingers under bushes come out strong for me, pretty strong out of rough but haven't hit it in really deep stuff yet.

Scoot over

The man does hook up the Vets. Former Submarine sailor here but most of the voices in my head say I am doing much better now.

They all copy if it makes a profit lol.

Mr. Parsons does well by the Vets, I wish it was more convenient to try/get fit for PXP here but in rural Alabama I have seen exactly 1 set used in a store. I have the original G430 Maxx and won the new 10K driver, went to Dicks and tried their 10K version to see how it compared to my gamer before I peeled the plastic off the 1 I won, wasnt hitting well but it was a little farther for me after I lofted it up to hit the spin sweet spot for my swing. May keep the 10K, may give to my son and may trade it off lol. Cant decide yet. As the the Veteran thing, I was in Submarine service just shy of 10 years but most of the voices in my head say I am doing much better now.

That putter is sexy and you know it.

Right after Titleist pays of Ping for the same thing

Your handicap shows you are far better than me but did you try lofting up the 3W ?

I carry a TaylorMade DHY which to me it leans farther towards the utility side than the driving side of most of these clubs, almost a tweener for true driving iron and hybrid. Might be a good option for you to try. I am far from a good golfer so its a bad example but I can get pretty deep in the rough with it and a hard stinger under obstacles is very comfortable and if I am having a bad day around the green its a pretty failsafe chipper lol.

Believe it or not I haven't dug out my wrench to install but I cant see any, if there is it may be the threads. I will either sell or trade this club and or shaft. I am just to slow for a 9 degree diver and a 60 gram shaft.

I am not getting younger and injuries on top of that thinking about a Vanquish in A or R flex. Has anyone here with a slower swing speed had any time on the tee with this shaft?

I switched to these from the Plus 4, the CP series have a reduced taper also.

This is how my new driver looked upon delivery. In fairness to shipper, we have had major delays due to almost a 2 week shutdown to a little snow and a lot of ice. Nearly everything looks like it was thrown off a building when it gets here.

Over priced Driver shaft coming soon. Mitsubishi Vanquish is leading contender , age and injury has slowed me down and if the rumors are true the new aftermarket premium light shafts like Vanquish, Autoflex, etc. can bring back a little pride in my game. Being rural Alabama and to many horror stories about club champion that gives me zero places to test drive one so I will be going in blind.

" I have no idea why " because your a golfer DUH . We just cant help ourselves.

number prejudiced for years, less now. Think the 8 iron was new or nearly new in my 1st 3-4 sets.

New version of Bridgestone balls goes on sale around the 15th of this month.

I have Maxfli Tour S to experiment with but the Bridgestone tour balls have been my go to for over a year, excited to try the 2024 version of the Bridgestones.

Well disclaimer because I didnt buy it but won a new Ping 430 Max 10K along with the matching 3 and 5 wood today.

Sheesh, people from Huntsville

I really like mine, unless its really slick its my go to pair over much more expensive Footjoy shoes that I have.
