JohnBarry Posted June 22, 2010 Share Posted June 22, 2010 With Myrtle Beach tomorrow, and my Adams Speeline, with the wrong shaft in it, I went to Golf Galaxy, and found my new love: Quote John Barry Bring the Funk, Back to Golf The Golfer's Trip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smooth7iron Posted June 22, 2010 Share Posted June 22, 2010 Nice. The G15 is a great driver. Enjoy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moecat Posted June 22, 2010 Share Posted June 22, 2010 Is it with the Aldila Serrano or the Ping TFC shaft? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnBarry Posted June 22, 2010 Author Share Posted June 22, 2010 Ping TFC, Regular Flex, Mid sized grip and 10.5 degree loft. I actually bought it right after a guy turned it in. Wish I could have met him in the parking lot! It had no scuffs, no marks, nothing.

SPY VIP GolfSpy_X Posted June 22, 2010 SPY VIP Share Posted June 22, 2010 That head is great...hope it works out for you John. Post some pics of the trip if you get a chance.

ja2thacub Posted June 22, 2010 Share Posted June 22, 2010 You gotta love ping drivers! I was actually a little bummed when the TM burner superfast was what fitted me best. Oh well.

JohnBarry Posted June 23, 2010 Author Share Posted June 23, 2010 Wow, just going to this club, and I think the shaft change from a stiff to a regular flex had a lot to do with it, but instead of about 230 in the air, I am a good 250 to 260, and even mis hits are not dramatic slices anymore, they are in play. Now, to take the range to the course! Quote John Barry Bring the Funk, Back to Golf The Golfer's Trip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SPY VIP GolfSpy Dave Posted June 23, 2010 SPY VIP Share Posted June 23, 2010 Nice John. I am trading in a bunch of old gear for a nice G15 today. The sound of the head is great.

JohnBarry Posted June 23, 2010 Author Share Posted June 23, 2010 It's great, I went from 230 to 250 in the air last night at the range. I am much straighter and much happier as a person, I could actually sleep last night!

SPY VIP GolfSpy Dave Posted June 23, 2010 SPY VIP Share Posted June 23, 2010 It's great, I went from 230 to 250 in the air last night at the range. I am much straighter and much happier as a person, I could actually sleep last night! After hitting 2 fairways on Monday, this is great news. When I demoed one yesterday, it felt like I could actually aim with it. This is something that I am unfamiliar with.

Popeye Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 Ping drivers always seemed great to me, but I never actually bought one. If JB likes it so much, I may actiually pull out the AMEX and spring for one. My old Titleist D1 is getting tired !!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheLongShot OH-IO Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 the ft-3 needs a replacement but graeme gave it some more shelf life? lol i hit the taylormade line and then the ping and they both did not compare to the callaway but i think it is a mental thing with me, ping's have dramatically improved many of my friends game.

SPY VIP GolfSpy Dave Posted June 23, 2010 SPY VIP Share Posted June 23, 2010 Just got back from the demo range again. Hit both stock offerings and an Oban Devotion upgrade. Good news it that the upgraded shaft did not make a huge difference. Seem to like the TFC better. Launch monitor and fitting next week for the final decision. Dispersion is so much better.

pfingst Posted June 24, 2010 Share Posted June 24, 2010 I actually liked the I15 better after hitting it back-to-back with the G15. The I15 felt more controllable to me, and I thought it looked better at address. The G15 wasn't bad - it was actually very good - but I thought the I15 was better yet. The loft choice is interesting, with offerings of 8.0, 9.5, and 11.0, seeing as 8.0 is too low for most people and 11.0 is an awful lot, but I suppose they know what they're doing. Anyway, congrats on the new stick, and good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SPY VIP GolfSpy Dave Posted June 24, 2010 SPY VIP Share Posted June 24, 2010 Question for those who know... What are the differences in characteristics for the stock shafts?

Moving from the DST already? Damn, you're worse than I am. I'm actually getting terrific results from mine. I hit 14/18 fairways on my Dad's course when we played on Father's day. I'm liking the distance also.
