You’re a goat brother! Always appreciate your support!!!

Agree!!!!!

Thanks for the kind words Ronnie!!

What was the cost of the shaft upgrade?

@@stevencarrier5060 It was $260.00 from my local Club Champion.

Exactly what I have. It’s SO long when I square it up.

Appreciate the support Gregary!! You know what they say, a Ghost Energy a day keeps the doctor away 😂

I got so confused 😢

Glad you enjoyed it!

Interesting. Didn’t notice that but barely tested the driver with the 28g weight. Went lighter so there was less droop and it fixed my low toe strikes. Had the LST previously in the 9° but had to go to 7.5° in the 10k to get my numbers in the sweet spot

The standard Black Ops would be the closest and could add a heavier back weight to get it over 10K MOI. While I didn’t do a direct test, I think that model would likely be more a more neutral biased ball flight compared to these. Possibly similar to the Mizuno ST-230 Max.

Same for me, tried them both side by side with same shaft, couldn’t get used to the head weight. Love my QI10Max, cranked down to 8.75

Hey question for you - I'm just getting back into golf so I don't know how much driver swing is. Have not been fitted. I heard 10.5 degree is better for an average swing but I have an opportunity to get a PING G430 9 degree for $200 which seems like a steal right now. Would I be okay with the 9 degree or should I look for a 10.5?

I bought both. I agree with you. The taylormade was more draw biased. I like the ping but every so often the slice seemed to come back. Never had the slice with qi10. I play the taylormade in the lowest setting in the upright option. I will probably try the non upright in the lowest setting to see if it straightens it out just a little bit more.

same experience

Have one also!

Bon Scott was my Fave too!

@@darylhoskins5696 just read an article about how the majority of pro golfers don't use the newer or newest equipment, that most don't change their drivers much if at all...🤷‍♂️🏌️

I have the 425 but that 400 is one of the best drivers ever made

I have a golfing buddy who has the 400. Loves it but every other week he shows up with a new driver trying to find a replacement. Always goes back to the ping 400.

I’m a certified comments fitter*** If you were even half decent of a fitter you wouldn’t be making comments like this based on a video. You literally cannot make a valid opinion without seeing the ball flight. Also add loft when he’s already spinning at 3000 😂 bro you ain’t no fitter. But if you are… Be a better fitter and don’t try and fit someone in an comment section ✌️

@@dbo4506 Well "Bro" after 55 years in the industry and untold fitter trainings from the top 4 brands I'm pretty sure I qualify as a certified fitter. As for ball height the angle of the video and the tracer plainly show the height. As for spin, iAs a fitter if all you are doing is trying to reduce spin, then "Bro" you ain't no fitter. Yes more loft will create more spin and more spin keeps the ball in the air longer. This guy is an accomplished player with high ball speed. You can tell by the tracer that his angle of attack is excellent but the ball is flattening out to quickly robbing him of distance. As long as he is hitting up on the ball then spin is secondary to direction and distance. I've seen it many times, trade 500 revolutions of spin for 15 more yards of distance. Finally loft could be accomplished by a ball with more spin. Sorry I upset you but you don't have a clue about all the nuances of fitting

I think you’ll find you yanks have the ‘accent’. We English people speak English, end of..

lol it is your language so I guess we have the accent.

@@martywize5909 Whilst I tend to disagree old chap, you do have a massive impact on our vocabulary if not on understanding what the fook you are saying.

Really it would just be a little less forgiving, and maybe a little lower launching!

I tried this, with both the 25g weight from the G430 Max, and the 22g weight from the G430 LST, and what I noticed out of mine was that I dropped a little over 1 degree of launch, and lowered my spin rate about 300-350 rpm with the 22g weight. I'm currently running the 25g weight on mine, at standard 9 degree loft, and that seems to be my sweet spot right now. But going with the 22g weight should net LST-like performance.

Performance wise (strike location the same) likely would see a small drop in both launch and spin 👍

When I swing 100mph on the Qi10 max was getting 148mph ball speed but spin was still similar at low 3000s and very much overdraw for me. Wanted to like it bc it was so easy to get speed but hated the spin and left miss

I’m a ping guy and swing around 90-92 mph. I went with the Qi max. The ping spun pretty low and. The TM kept the ball in the air. I’m driving it better than I’ve ever have

Yeah I'm a shorter player with a 44inch shaft and the Qi10 LS can really put it out there for me best so far is 336y on a lengthy par4. Pretty dang good for a 44inch shaft lol

@@joshpashia637 Yeah I wouldn’t get that distance unless I got 40 yards of run as I play in the Scotland and it’s mainly wet. 300 is about it for me realistically. Just a great driver tho

@@CharlotteK2008 I hit that on a hilly dry fairway had a ton of roll up the hill before the green though.

Yes but only in the fade setting (if I recall correctly?). Great point either way!

Thanks for the comment! Strike locations were pretty much right in-line with the CG on the solid strikes. Any shots that I, "low faced" were simply swing errors that I do not believe are related to tee height.

don't let them meet Bro

Everyone online has been complaining about Taylor made quality control being horrible lately

That said, I did break the face 1 month in. TM replaced without question.

Last time I checked there is no box on a scorecard to put driving distance..5 extra yards?… I wanna see 5 less strokes!… I’m 62 and I’m sticking with my G20 since I don’t see 5 strokes in any modern driver over the G20! Now, wedges are a different story 🤔

@@jtpalooki7757 well sir, I hit the ball in the fairway more with the TM vs the ping and with more distance. As such, I’m using one less club on my approach. Resulting in an improved GIR and My handicap is now a 1.

@@marksamuelson2378and when were you last a 6?

@@jtpalooki7757 6 handicap? A year ago maybe. When I was last fitted was almost 3 years ago. I was a 12-15 handicap.

Sell me some good garbage bub.

And a ventus 6x black would blow them away 😅😂😊

A good cigar is better.

What does that mean different head for different shaft? It's the exact head. The shaft is a personal choice

@68kcfan ...exactly...the shafts are a personal tool for different swings. Nobody swings the same. Feel and weight. It's complicated as you know. I'd never promote a driver head. I'd promote the shafts.
