10.5º loft with regular flex Ping shaft. No pics yet but she's "purty"... Heck, why should I take my blurry pics. Here's some from wrx.. New Ping G10 Driver & 3 wood Pics! - GolfWRX.com
I KNOW it's the honeymoon but I picked this up this morning and went directly to play nine holes with it, no hitting on the driving range. Cold turkey!! The face is dead nuts square, just like my Rapture was. It sets up very nicely, just like every Ping driver I've owned. I was using a Srixon Zur-S and Bridgestone B330-S ball.
First hole I teed it up the same as for my Sumo2 and hit a skyball (high on the face).
Next hole I teed it lower and POW! (who needs "the hammer" ). Straight down the middle, no draw, no fade and as long as I've hit one in over a year. At LEAST 250+ (total distance) and that's being conservative for LyleG. 329 yard par 4 and I had 75 yards in. Wedge playing it at 75 yards was on the green.
Next hole, POW!, straight down the middle and longer. This one HAS to be 265+. 354 yard par 4 and I had 75 yards in. And I'm estimating off the distance to the pin subtracted from the hole length and subtracting another 10 yards just for LyleG. My wedge playing it at 75 yards was on the green.
The whole round went like this. The greens were horribly slow so all my birdie chances went up in smoke but I still got an honest 46. And I outdrove the two young guys I played with on "almost" every hole. And mine were in the middle of the fairway. There's weren't.
This is like my old Rapture on steroids! I was reluctant to go with the 10.5º loft but it gave a very "piercing" trajectory so assume it's pretty accurate in that regard. No balloon balls at all. I can not say enough about this driver.
It sounds fantastic
It FEELS fantastic, the perfect weight
The shaft is the best OEM shaft I've ever hit. It's not leaving this head.
I could have bought this with a V2 shaft but Lyle said the Ping shaft was good and as usual he was right. He (and others in here) were also right in recommending a regular flex shaft. And I don't need the square Sumo2. This is easily as straight as that is and far longer. I strongly recommend you demo this driver before buying something else. All the other good reviews on the web are dead on.
