Mid-High Handicap DRIVER Fitting | Ping g430 10k vs TaylorMade Qi10 vs Callaway AI SMOKE

[@NiceLifeGolf]

Not going to lie, I want a fitting from this guy 👏

[@ParWars_Golf]

I would definitely recommend, and lessons with jay will be in my future as well. - Darren

[@martywize5909]

I’ve just bought a Ping g425 max with a 45g reg shaft - set to draw setting. Longest driver and easiest to hit I’ve used in 50 years of golf 👍

[@ParWars_Golf]

They’re something special

[@chadbalneaves3607]

The journey to 250yrds begins

[@alanwhite4809]

I’ve had a few fittings, and they always ask what ball I use. I’ve never had a fitter suggest a different ball. Kind of cool.

[@ParWars_Golf]

Yea Jay / gpp do a full thorough job assessing all aspects of golf not just trying to get you into new gear you don’t need. 👍

[@lkae4]

Just got a 10K. Longest drives ever for 4 of the holes on my home track on my second outing. And I'm still rusty from the winter. Unreal. I have an old Ventus Black 5X in it.

[@ParWars_Golf]

Definitely winning the 2024 driver battle right now. Tho the Ai Smoke is a sneaky 1B

[@skol7011]

Thank you for having an average swing speed guy apart of your fitting. Curious though he is fitted with a stiff shaft and I have the same swing speed and I have a regular flex shaft. Cobra LTD max 9 degree average 220-240 yd drives and pretty much in play all the time. I have never been fitted for a driver. Took my trusty Ping G400 max into 2nd swing and golf galaxy and left with my driver every time except when I tried the Cobra and I gained 20 yards and jut as accurate it’s been in my bag for 2 years now 11.6 Hc. I really need to get fitted by a professional and curious how much I would improve. Thanks again for the great video.

[@ParWars_Golf]

Well stiff shafts are still suited for golfers between 90mph & 105mph swing speeds. A regular flex would likely lose Darren some control of the club face. - Nick

[@ParWars_Golf]

A regular shaft could add him some distance for sure. But he’d also like to add speed sooner or later & still be able to keep him in bounds.

[@paulsharpe85]

Love it! So cool to see the difference with the new club and maybe ball too. 250+ yards incoming!

[@ParWars_Golf]

Thanks for watching! New tech is great and good to see it working to help mid to high handicappers but combining that with a few lessons = big growth in a players game, especially when trying to hit it in the middle of the club face everytime

[@paulsharpe85]

@@ParWars_Golf definitely! Jason's great and I'm sure some lessons with him will make a big difference!

[@tedharman5354]

Completely had the feels for this fitting. Our swing speeds are similar so there is hope for me yet.

[@ParWars_Golf]

Ya this was a great experience, I couldn’t believe what he was able to do for me. Just goes to show that a pro fitting can really help your game. - Darren

[@Kirbysports]

Same same well said

[@theythinkimmadyouknow]

late to this party, but my swing speed is about the same, got a fitting for the G430 Max 10K and WOW. Its like cheating, further, straighter and its just easy.

[@ParWars_Golf]

@@theythinkimmadyouknow the new stuff is fire

[@ParWars_Golf]

@@theythinkimmadyouknow they've definitely made lots of progress in the drivers this year! nothing beats finding that right fit to your game

[@drodzdrodz909]

Love my qi10 max so easy to hit.

[@martysmith9601]

good job. I am 56 and have the same swing speeds 88-95 mph. I use a Ping G410 plus , orange tensei cx 60 stiff at 44.5'' . Hit between205-250 yards.

[@ParWars_Golf]

Feel like the ping works for every golfer haha

[@ethanaderemi]

17:43 it's always a good idea to do this, and this was great!!

[@ParWars_Golf]

what, the water logged noodle i found doens't go as well as a brand new pro v haha, all serious, finding a golf ball that fits your game is super important, i learned that in this vid too

[@Kaiju-Goji]

High spin is good for mid - high handicappers we seem to be obsessed with distance at the cost of accuracy and consistency. Out in the real world this guy might have trouble hitting fairways with a low spinning driver and distance drops off on miss hits so the average might be longer in a similar but shorter on the golf course.

[@suprand]

It would of been interesting to see how he reacted with a counter balanced shaft

[@ParWars_Golf]

Interesting thought, I think the stock shaft in my G400 max is counter balanced, though I trust that Jay put me in the right stuff for my swing, the guys a genius with this stuff. - Darren

[@suprand]

True. But the kalil white is about 10 grams heavier than his old ping shaft. I get trying to get spin down but would have been interesting if an even lighter shaft would help his speed. The kalil white is a bit shorter which helps.

[@-What-are-your-thoughts]

I’ve always been fitted into a max forgiving head and a light stiff shaft by professionals and I always felt my drives should be longer for the move I put on the ball. I bought a TD AI Smoke 70g stiff and I’m 30 yards longer. How do they miss this.

[@ParWars_Golf]

Heavy = further

[@PaHoHaska]

stiff flex for that guy ? Seems weird to me .. sorry, but what I could see he doesn't have swing for stiff shaft (his swing speed is about 89-91mph). Just my humble 2 cents ...

[@vincentdobbins4189]

It’s all about tempo. Not, how fast you swing the club but how you swing the club fast.

[@Kaiju-Goji]

@@vincentdobbins4189But if you dont swing fast?

[@soothe5242]

Speed is one element of about 5 pal

[@nell103186]

Must have one hell of a short game to be a 15 handicapper. I would of for sure tried out some regular flex shafts just to compare

[@ParWars_Golf]

@@nell103186 yea distance is his weak point, rest of his game is pretty good, hard hitting lots of 5 woods into greens

[@jbh199]

With a 90 mph club head speed, why is he in a stiff shaft ?

[@jerryjohnson9531]

I was wondering the same thing. My swing speed is about 5 mph faster than his and I use a regular shaft.

[@darcybarnes8337]

You take the 169 yard drive out of his gamer average...didnt gain no 20 yards with new one...

[@CharlotteK2008]

That ping just wants to go left…. The AI smoke was a much better fit

[@ParWars_Golf]

I liked them both, I could easily game either of them. - Darren

[@davevardon8618]

Not a fan of the ProV1 blatant promotion - there are other balls that would get him better distance than his "gamer" (ie. Vice) for a lot less $$$

[@jerryjohnson9531]

I agree about the Vice. The Vice Pro Plus is my gamer!!

[@TT-ov1mc]

Come on there are tons of new and better shafts than the years old Ka'li.

[@ParWars_Golf]

what would you recommend?

[@sweetswing1]

Dude, you literally hit your old ping 230 yards average. No impeachment in the new club really. The "fitter" was really pouring it on but look at your own stats.

[@NickByolo]

Let the big dog eat

[@ParWars_Golf]

He’s hungry for 250 😂

[@tekepenguin1981]

These fittings are the biggest scam going in amateur sports. This fitting was all over the place. Dude has a low 90s swing speed and we're gonna start him in a 6.0 black rdx...😂😅. Like what are we doing??? If you are a professional or sub 3 handicap...sure I can absolutely see you getting g a fitting and dialing it in. If you're this guy, claiming a 16+ handicap... you need time at the range and time on the course. Golf is expensive enough, don't throw hundreds of dollars away on getting fit for a club that 8 out of 10 swings you will NEVER be able to replicate.

[@ParWars_Golf]

Oh man, that’s gotta be the worst hot take I’ve ever heard. I have so much to say but I’m afraid you’re going to ask to speak to my manager afterwards. -Nick

[@nisch2379]

Agree lol 90-92mph and you putting him in a stiff shaft

[@dime81]

It all came down to trying to reduce spin while maintaining a feel that I liked, obviously distance and dispersion were huge factors too. I’m super happy with what he fit me into, I wouldn’t change a thing - Darren

[@brandonheikellia7017]

@@nisch2379 you saw the results… It seemed to work for him.

@@ParWars_Golf don't be upset just by some comment .. especially as he is right

[@steve5456]

Don't waste your money on a new driver, the one you have is good, spend your money on a good professional for lessons and you will get better distance and be shown how to draw and fade your golf balls.

[@nisch2379]

The background music really

[@chrisbrader7720]

Guy needs lessons,then a new driver.Weight on the back foot every drive.

[@ParWars_Golf]

Been swinging it a lot better, but you aren’t wrong. Lessons are needed big time

[@jeffreyhart2282]

No way he’s a 15 handicap

[@ParWars_Golf]

doesn't look like it, but yea the man is, he's really good at always hitting a 5 wood approach into a green =)

[@TenPester]

Dude needs lessons, not a new driver.
