I went out for my first round on my local course today. I'm happy with the swing after the winter layover. I was +2 for 9 holes with 41* temp and a breezy 15-20 mph winds. Putting was just average but that should come around.
Anyway before the round I met a gentleman on the tee who had a Ping G5.He said he was unhappy with it as he was hitting it too low. 9* driver with a NV65 shaft. He must have been 75 + years old and a friend had just him the club while on a Florida trip. Almost brand new. I'm thinking that green lizard plus the 9* just did not fit his swing speed.
So I had my 10* G2 in the bag. It has a BB solutions burgundy shaft. Offered to let him try it for a day and see if it works for him. He countered with a week.
I have been hitting the G2 too high.
I took the G5 for a spin around the course. It's lower, long and accurate. Slight draw. I'm forced to take different angles on the doglegs as I was driving through the fairways.
I HOPE THE G2 WORKS FOR THE G5 OWNER. I am very happy with the G5.
My G2 was purchased 3 years ago used. Had a plethora of sky markers from previous owner. I paid $90 shipped. What say you on a fair trade price? I am considering $40 and I put a new grip on the G2.
