Hi I have been watching your videos with GSPro and I love them!! Your tour events are great to watch and I love the Ric Flair celebrity appearances lol!! Your drives are amazing and they go for miles!! I was wondering if you do online lessons at all? My driver is the worst part of my game and I’ve been working on it over a year without much progress. Thank you for your time, I really appreciate it! Have a great day and looking forward to more awesome videos!!

GREAT video !!!! ... Nice to finally see a review by someone with some gas. Speed shows what heads can do. I am SO SICK of Brits who can't hit it out of their shadow with a running start posting driver reviews. WELL DONE Willy !!! .. You need to meet some of my crew - You'd fit right in ;) ... OH - And nice swing too !!!! ... I can get you a 7* if you want one ;)

Am I the only one who couldnt tell a real sound difference between the two in the video? The camera tends to try and level out the volume so it doesnt come accross how different it actually is.

Just changing my g430 max 10.5 for the 9 degree. I've gained over 10mph ball speed this of season and spinning the 10.5 abit high even when lofted down can't wait to get it.

@lawbinson Жыл бұрын

I don’t have nearly your speed but deliver too much loft at impact with the Pings set to 7.5. Had to go to a TM 8 head turned down to 6 but would love if there was a Ping head that could get to 6.

@WillyLong Жыл бұрын

The ventus 7x black with velcore. Tipped slightly. Really like the combo. I did back in the day! It was A LOT of fun. Had a pretty serious shoulder surgery in 2020. Just happy to be able to swing the club again. Right now I play professionally on mini tours. It’s really hard to do long drive and competitive golf simultaneously. I’ve tried before and the real golf definitely suffers. 😂

Wow, that is a lot more ball speed on the 430. I wonder if that’s just due to better ball speed across the face or if it is actually hotter?

@WillyLong Жыл бұрын

I did hit the 430 better as far as impact location, but does definitely seem to be a little hotter. Could be because the thinner face. So yea! A little hotter

@jimmyculp8756 Жыл бұрын

I replaced the 26 gram backweight with a 15 gram. In theory, I should now have a 460 cc LST?

@WillyLong Жыл бұрын

🤷‍♂️ could definitely lower the spin. But it could effect the ball speed/ smash factor numbers lightening up the head. At least that is what I have found with some heads. The 430 lst does have a carbon crown which the max doesn’t have. Do you like it so far ?

@Vermonstered 9 ай бұрын

Really if you're not in tournaments and just playing casually you could upgrade your clubs as you break them or wear them out. There's such small incremental gains year to year it'll yield maybe a stroke a round. You're better off not being a serial upgrader and using the money just paying for lessons and getting a formal fitting session once you want to get a fully fitted set.

@romewasnotbuiltinaday 8 ай бұрын

absolutely not. Get the 425 with a mid launch, mid spin shaft. They're usually blue.

@Jack-xy4fy Ай бұрын

Or you could get a cleveland halo xl2 that costs like half the price and outdrives both them on distance with similar levels of forgiveness

Are you sponsored by PING, or just a dedicated customer? Any reason you can't use a different driver manufacturer that allows you to drop bombs with a lower degree lofted driver?

@WillyLong Жыл бұрын

Definitely not sponsored. I pay full price for them. They just make the best drivers in my opinion. I definitely could but that means I gotta spend more money on drivers lol. I have a tough time spending money on them if I know they won’t go in the bag. I do have a very low lofted Long Drive driver that may have to make an appearance soon.

Love your energy and presentation but I do worry that not many were hit in the center of the face. Am I wrong? I have had a G425 Max for just over a week and so far I like it. I was gaming the Cobra Radspeed Volition model but the head busted (not due to my swing speed) and I am not sure I don't like the Ping better but can't quite explain it. Got a stiff shaft in the Cobra and a X-stiff in a 60 gram shaft on the Ping.

The taller face towards the toe on the 425 in my mortal golfer opinion separates these 2 drivers in every way. The 425 is way more forgiving and will turn the ball in for you on mis hits and I’ve had them both. I actually bought a back up 425 in case something happens to it because I like the driver so much. But for goodness sake enough already about the sound. All these KZfaqr guys whining about the sound but yet bag ‘em. It’s an out door sport. What about these base ball kids using aluminum bats their whole lives in batting cages and at practice. Those things sound like canons compared to a driver. Hearing people whine about the Ping sound reminds me of an old man in his recliner with a blanket watching the PBS channel!!

Request a digitally lofted head from ping next time in the lowest loft that they can find for you. That 9 degree head you have might be 9 or it might me closer to 10

They will hand sort thru them all if you request a digitally lofted head in as low as they can find for you. I believe they charge $20 for this only to get you exact spec you are after
