Don’t Be FOOLED By The PING G430 10k Driver… However?

[@gerrymcintosh4477]

I’m just recovering from a stroke, but hoping I will be able to play sometime this season. Want to get fitted for a new Ping driver, as I play with Ping now, and have an old G30 driver that I don’t hate. Loved your video Sir. Thank you for your insight. 🇨🇦💝👍

[@lawbinson]

Hope you are recovering well!

[@stevenmartin-cr8ob]

Fun fact: the PXG clubs are pronounced “Oh three eleven”. Their clubs are named after the US Marine job codes. 0311 is infantry.

[@markspencer7114]

When comparing clubs like drivers can you also show dispersions as this is a criteria most look at probably even more than total distance

[@timdench2583]

Although the PXG was slightly longer it looked as though you had more shots that went left. I would have liked to have seen the dispersion of both .

[@chrisroberts389]

PXG does offer special discounted pricing for active or retired law enforcement and military, for me in the states being in that program myself, i can get the 0311 black ops for $449. And most everything on the website is discount to some extend which it's awesome

[@surroundedbyjaggoffs]

For $600.00 it should carry itself around the course!!!!!

[@martynmantack4026]

Just spat my coffee out

[@solson223]

I'm becoming a big fan of PXG clubs. It took me a while to get there, but I'm here. They make great clubs, give a nice discount to veterans, and put all of the really nice premium touches on things like head covers, etc. I have the 0311 GEN 6 Driver and GEN 6 hybrid XF and I love them both. Great clubs.

[@Wahgwarn]

PXG Engineers are ex Ping Engineers… Shouldn’t be overlooked… 🤷‍♂️

[@suprand]

True. Prob why I play pxg irons and putter. Ping driver hybrid and wedges. But can easily be interchanged

[@seancook2264]

Golf WRX or My Golf Spy? I recently went for a fitting at PXG and put the black Ops against current G410. G410 had the carry, Black opps on total due to lower spin.

[@JamesRobinsonGolf]

I think I did mix them up actually 🙌🏼😂

[@nathanpuckett448]

Could u compare some of these to there 2-3-4 yr old models, like Qi10 vs Sim2 which is half the price?

[@jeffringer7527]

I’m thinking there is very little difference especially against the Sim2.

[@MichaelRafter-q7l]

Morning James. Must be time for a review of driver headcovers. I'm still waiting for the headcover for my Eleven NHS 01 driver so looking at getting a getting a more individual style one. Any recommendations. Keep up the good work 👍

[@isthereanavailable]

"Well, if you love it so much, why don't you marry it?!" Peter Finch to his Ping driver: "I do! "

[@Drophittingthree]

Loved this! Those are the two clubs I was wanting to game this year! Gave the Qi10 LS a run but the Ping 10K beat it out! Plus I didn’t like like looking to see if the face popped out after each shot! Lol😂

[@MidwestMotor]

As good as the Ping might be - I just cannot get comfortable over it with how busy the club head is with those weird turbulators or whatever the hell they call these things on the top. The Cobra LTDx was in my bag the last 2 years but after testing - nothing compared to the Callaway AI Smoke!

[@PNW_Sportbike_Life]

I’m going smoke too baby!

[@NextFairwayNorm]

Played around with a mate off 32 handicap, he got fitted for the Ping G430 max 10k. Even with 10k you still have to hit it middle or vey close. 10k is an advertising plug that’s working. Looks wise that PXG is tidy

[@andreashley6084]

32 handicap… can you blame him for thinking ill pay anything to improve 😅

[@NextFairwayNorm]

@@andreashley6084 in 12 months he will be off 20 as he does a lot right. 10k will have nothing to do with it. I think we all hope that new club will work miracles 😀

[@martyboysation]

the 0311 can also be way over 10k with the right weight configuration

[@stewartgrindlay9760]

10k Max is a great driver. Your mate maybe needs more lessons

[@aarontooley570]

I have the ping 430 MAX and have never loved a driver more

[@jason52973]

I just bought the Ping G430 10k, just adjusted it down to 9.5 loft. Then I had the longest drive I've ever had. 273 Carry yardage clocked with a Swing Caddie SC200.

[@travisd1288]

James downplays Ping until his driver swing is rubbish and then what do we see in the bag...😢

[@kentao4]

I’ve had ping the last two drivers and I looked the turbulators. Makes it more modern looking to me

[@deviusfeilds]

As a Dave, I agree I hit the crown of my driver only when I don't want to. And I never want to.

[@rodzilla4rilla]

So I think this is pitched at the longer driving low handicapper. I bought the taylor made iQ10 and it is very forgiving. Never so made so many middle of fairways in my life.

[@tyhome1]

You show the distance, but you never show which driver more accurate. For years I have seen James hit the Ping more accurate but choose a different driver because of distance. I use to do the same thing. I have always been a TM guy, but switched to Ping due to accuracy. I hate the tabulators but love the accuracy.

[@JamesRobinsonGolf]

That’s exactly why I do on course as well buddy. Nobody can really test accuracy inside

[@Ironpilot249]

I’ve overlooked PXG never thought I’d had it my bag but here we are replacing Ai smoke for black opp

[@adrianrice354]

I am a mid to high handicap golfer and I have never liked the Ping drivers , stopped trying after the G410 , I have been playing Taylormade Pre twist face , did not like the twist face and Cobra drivers up to the Rad speed , Just got a Tour Edge E722 to try out this year . looking forward to that . cheers . :)

[@martyboysation]

the 0311 can also be well over 10k with the right weight configuration

[@darryldisher4615]

Hello James I seen a video of the same pxg driver the guy had the loft at 8 degrees he was hitting it far. He said that it was like a long driver with forgiveness

[@richardsharpe4884]

I was fitted for the PXG black Ops and Gen 6 irons absolutely love the PXG. Had Ping 425 Max but hated the tabulators and the whole reason why I sold the clubs

[@Daniel189HLL]

Nothing mentioned about dispersion on a forgiving driver test? I don't get that.

[@jmahaney3]

Love the sound of the PXG. The ball flight of the PING seems much higher.

[@tommiethatcher7265]

Great head to head James and I could easily game either one

[@craigmcgown4946]

James why do you look at average drives on forgiving drivers as they are always within a couple of yards surely it’s better to see which one gives the best maximum distance when you go for one.

[@martingore8030]

I play the gen5 pxg great driver also 0211 irons, great video James

[@Saxbygolf]

The gen 5 0311 driver has turned me from a hater to a fan girl 100% got a 3 wood coming soon as well!

[@jasonwinslow3543]

The KBS TD shafts don't get enough love, IMO. Terrific, stable shaft, and it isn't $400. I wish PXG offered it as a stock option!

[@richardsharpe4884]

I brought the ping 430 last year when it first hit the shelves but sold for it after 6 months just couldn’t not get on with it went for a fitting and found my driver I now own lay a PXG

[@pitman18458]

How do you configure the weights in the PXG to make it 10K ?

Have you stored the Ping 430 LST?

The ping driver is going to be worth a lot more when it comes to trading it in.

Tbh I think the TSR3 is still top tier. When you flush it there's nothing better and even when I miss the forgiveness is still really good.

[@jimconway5921]

Is there an uncharge for the shafts on both the Ping & PXG?

I traded a bunch of used clubs I got at thrift for a Sim 2. Works great. Was fun to do

[@WilliamHemmingsen]

[@Mdrnsamurai]

everyone likes preferences and you can see and hear James had a lot to say about what bothers him about the Ping... at this point, drivers are all the same... and it's the same story every year... more distance, more forgiveness, and shut up and give us your money... oh wait, look at the colors we have...

[@donaldwilcoxjr.5212]

Best friend and playing partner hits the g430 10 k .....and loves it ....but I have the cobra ltdx from couple years back ....and we have almost identical swing speeds ...and we can switch drivers and to be honest there is not any distance gains either way nor forgiveness....I do play my ltdx with a upgraded carbon infused custom shaft at 3 wood length 43in ....and if I were going to spend 600 on one of the new drivers it would be the ping 430 10k ......

[@jeffringer7527]

One has to wonder if the clubs have hit a limit. A this far and no farther. I used to update my clubs every 1-2 years. Now, I wait until I feel I’m losing yards due to metal fatigue. My hybrids were a classic example. Lost 15 yards and upgraded and got the 15 yards back.

[@donaldwilcoxjr.5212]

I agree with your statement 100 % I gamed the taylormade sldr 9.5 from time it came out until about 4 years ago .....and only reason it came out of the bag is because I noticed a significant loss in yardage ....I thought maybe it was me ...at first ...but it was 20 yards shorter on average the last year I gamed it and it felt well....dead ....like it had lost its pop ....now I wasn't playing everyday but up to 5 times a week and at least 3 ....and that's not counting range and indoor practice ...it had been hit 10 of thousands of times I am sure ....but I feel there hasn't been much gains for at least 5 years now maybe 10 ....on the equipment side ...but things like you say do wear out and get fatigued ....I do feel unless you just want to spend the top dollar on a brand new model....you can better spend your money on clubs that are prior models maybe one or two seasons back and use what you save on tee times or lessons and the money is better spent....I just changed out my irons...to ping I 230s ....was gaming the s55 and would still be but the 7- pw are getting where the grooves and faces are slick and when any water comes in to play it can be an issue ....I hate changing irons ....but that's just me ...
