Testers Wanted: Newton Driver Shafts ×

Ping i25

Recommended Posts

Guess what showed up at my local golfsmith! Demo only. I got to hit it on the monitor about 50 times. I even got to unwrap the plastic and was the first to hit it!

I currently game an i20, so obviously I was quite interested.

 

I won't spill the beans now, but I will stand by my earlier predictions that it will fare quite well in the driver test.

So, now we know (distance, anyway). And now I will have to resist the urge to replace my i20! I love it and don't need a new driver, but...NEW STUFF!

Dave, I might have to take a trip to your area and visit the good folks at Haggin Oaks for a demo or two.

This past weekend I did a driver fitting and I went in with no favoritism towards any club and I walked out with a Ping i25!  Love this driver, it blew away any other driver they had me hit.  My old driver was an Adams Speedline F11, numbers really sucked and they were suprised I was still palying it, I hit SLDR, Jetspeed, both Bertha's, G25, Titleist D2, different shafts and well over an hour of just hitting balls. My fitter lofted a 10.5 up to 11 degrees and put in a Tour x Stiff shaft in which was nice because they were testing me with an Oban shaft and I didn't dare ask about the extra cost for that.  Overall the i25 gave me the most consistent launch angle and also spin rate against all the other drivers and I think it looks pretty badass with the matte black racing stripe.  On top of it all gained close to 25yds compared to my old driver which is also pretty badass, I can't wait for all of this upstate NY snow to melt to so I can get outside and hit it for real.

 

Hit the i25 people, you'll love it!

It fared well in the MGS test - I went to a TMag demo day last Friday and really flushed the SLDR time after time - clearly had a gain over my current driver which is an R11s.

 

Still I want to hit it again along with the I25 and even though it didn't do well the Alpha once the higher loft model is out.  I'm really digging my i20 irons regardless of what driver I end up with.

 

Don't worry the snow will eventually melt - I recall one winter when I was a college student in Ithaca where it seemed like it would never end and then suddenly one day all the snow was gone and by mid April we were playing - that was a year where I played 45 straight days from mid-June to the end of July - it was great - one of my favorite summers ever.

Driver: Taylor Made Stealth 2 10.5 Diamana S plus 60  R flex   - 44.25 

Fairways:  Ping G410 5, 7, 9 wood  Alta CB red 65 R flex

Hybrid:  Ping G410  26 degree  Alta CB Red 70 R flex 

Irons: Ping G430  7-PW, 45, 50 Alta CB black 65 soft R flex 

Wedges:  Ping 195 S54, E58

Wedges and irons are - 1/2” and one degree flat 

Putter: Sacks Parente Duke 32.5”

Ball: Titleist Pro VI or Callaway Chrome Soft X ls

 

While not at the same time I was fit for every club in my bag as well as the Pro VI ball. I use the chrome soft x ls on my league course.  It has much softer softer greens than the club that I belong to. 

I’m on a mission to shoot my age - lifetime lowest round is 66 and I’m currently 67.
