Picked this bad boy up at the beginning of this season. Ping Tour Chrome X-Stiff shaft. First new driver in over 10 years!!!

I prefer all leather gloves (no elastic material at all) whatever I can find at a decent price. I used to be able to get Taylor made RBZ gloves for about $10 a pop but I’m pretty sure they discontinued them. The all leathers don’t wear like the ones with with synthetic stuff. Those tend to stretch out and lose their snug fit. Right now I’m playing a foot joy glove and I like the thickness of the leather. Should last a long time as the other all leather gloves have.

Golf Pride MCC Align Midsize grips I bought a set of these for my irons during winter this year after finding out how much I love midsize grips. I have to say I am very impressed. The grips alone are average to plus but where they really shine is with the alignment aid. They go on the underside of the grip and the thought is to help you with your grip alignment. However, I believe where they shine is in a pre swing check of grip pressure. The red line on the grip is made of a tougher, yet slightly raised rubber material that really isn't that noticeable unless gripped on the tighter side. It helps in getting your knuckles in the right spot and helps to remind me once I do have the proper position, to lighten up my grasp on the club. Because they are new to me, I cant say that this will disappear from the back of my mind or if it will wear rather quick. I guess time will tell. But for now, count me in as a happy buyer. Definitely on the more expensive spectrum when it comes to the grip category. I paid $11.99 per grip and with 5-GW & AW I think I was out the door at around $120 US. As for now I say it was worth the investment. If you are getting new grips anyways, the difference in price would be from $8-20 and for something that I feel can be considered a training aid that you use every time you golf is a win in my books.

My putter has been my most replaced club from my bag over the past ten years. My putting game has come and gone more times that I can count. And while constantly working on my putting stroke, I have found that mallets are MUCH more forgiving. My blade has felt just as good as a mallet when my stroke has been on. But I feel that a blade is probably best suited to a golfer that strikes the center of the face consistently. (I am not!!!) I current have a EvnRoll ER5 (Mallet) and I feel that it is here to stay. In comparison, the bladed putters I have owned in the last few years are as follow: Cleveland Huntington Beach Soft - This had rave reviews and I always liked the look of blades much better than mallets. After one year of use I felt that I wasn't happy with weight or feel of the putter. Bettinardi Queen B - Felt great in the pro shop on the putting matts but was absolutely terrible on the course. Felt dead and lifeless when you actually had to hit it. Played for 5 rounds and returned it during my satisfaction guarantee period. Scotty Cameron Newport 2 - This was by far the best feeling blade I owned and had it for two years. But towards the end of last year I still felt something to be desired. Off centered hits weren't terrible but could definitely be better. I suggest you bring out your new club as much as possible while you still have your return period to see how you like it in every day conditions. I know it would have been a tough pill to swallow if I never got a chance to return my Queen B.

I too did this recently and it has made such a difference. The gap from my 5 iron to 4 iron was only about 10 yards. Before, I could get maybe 210 MAX out of my 4 Iron and my next closest was my 3 wood at 240 (old faithful, cant find a decent replacement) To fill that gap was a great feeling on the first round out when I found myself 225 yards out on the first par 5 of the day. Another note is that the hybrid is so dang forgiving...

Hey all, wanted to introduce myself. I live in Northern California and try to golf 2-4 times a month if possible. Local courses I like to play are corica in Oakland, canyon lakes in San Ramon and Oakland metro. As follows are what’s in the bag: driver-ping g430 10k max 3 wood- cobra bio cell (2015 maybe) 4 hybrid - callaway paradym 5-gap wedge - callaway apex 21 iron set 52 - volkey sm9 wedge 56 - Cleveland RTX4 wedge 60 - volkey sm9 wedge putter - even roll ER5 Golf ball - chrome soft Let me know if you have any questions on my gear!

I bought the new G430 10k driver and was fitted with the ping tour chrome x-stiff shaft. It is brand specific but wow is it buttery smooth. During the fitting I felt like it might have been a little too “flexy” but when you have a nice smooth tempo, I feel that it aids in a nice ball flight and draws so nicely in your favor without it being to soft.

This is my first review and have yet to see a member review on this driver, so here we go. I have owned and played this driver for about two months and have played 10+ rounds with it with countless practice sessions on my simulator. As a golfer with a swing speed of 110mph and a ball speed of 160mph, finding the right driver can be a game-changer. The Ping 430 10K Driver offers commendable forgiveness, making it a solid choice for players looking to improve their consistency off the tee. One of the standout features of this driver is its forgiveness. Even on off center hits, the club still manages to deliver decent results, although shots off the hosel may still tend to slice with my experience, which could be a drawback for some players. In terms of distance, the Ping performs well, though not exceptionally. While it may not provide the longest drives compared to other drivers I’ve recently hit in pro shops, it still offers respectable distance with accurate results that should satisfy most players, especially with a 280 yard carry potential. Spin control is another area where this driver holds its own, delivering average spin rates that contribute to a consistent ball flight. However, for those seeking exceptionally low spin for maximum distance, this may fall slightly short of expectations. The dispersion of around 20 yards in each direction indicates decent accuracy, allowing for consistent performance on the course. Overall, the 430 10K Driver is a reliable option for golfers seeking forgiveness and consistent performance off the tee.

How do you like these? Would you prefer one over the other or feel that both are a good combo? How and when do you typically use them?
