This is BEST golf club from the last 10 years!?

[@RickShielsGolfShow]

What do you think is the best golf club of the last 10 years?

[@matthewdolby7712]

Taylormade R7

[@RickShielsGolfShow]

@@matthewdolby7712 great club but that launched in 2004!

[@stuartmacdonald305]

Agree with guy. I was never the best with fairway woods tried and got fitted in to the ping fairway wood and shortly after also put the 7 wood in the bag. Now fairway wood area is probably the strongest part of my game and vastly overtook other areas. So easy to hit and make good contact with shaping in the bottom. Although with Rick talking about the M2 with Taylormade and the like of cobra releasing modern replica’s like the M4 they have released. Taylormade if they made a modern release of the M2 might be a bold statement but I think would out perform the stealth range on sales

[@colinlyman456]

Thought Yellow was for extra videos, was this not in one of the recent podcasts? Mis-sold like the F9s should be green :)

Cobra One Length Hybrid - Easy to use, versatile fairway finder that gives 3/4 iron distances from almost any lie.

[@rlh2214]

Just bought the ping g425 max 3 wood and currently have the M2 2016 driver in the bag too

[@DaveENC]

I game the G425 max driver and 5 wood and both are outstanding clubs for sure. I'm also using the Spider X but I think it's defective...it can't be me.

[@alexlandsberger1423]

Yeah I have never had good luck with any spider putters I use a ping wack-e

[@FenwayJoe7129]

I agree with you. Just saw this video and it made me smile. I have the G 425 Max in the 3, 5 and 7 Woods. They have definitely helped me play much better golf. I had them since last season and have played many rounds with them. I like the 3 and 5 so much I don't even use a driver any more. Great video. The 7 is great too.

[@andrewjohnson1740]

I might have to go with the Cobra F9, though with a little recency bias. Mostly due to the performance/affordability combo! Many of the best clubs when they came out weren't priced to be affordable for many average golfers

[@wallywinglepop7379]

I have both the Driver and 3 Wood and they might be the best clubs I’ve ever owned, pretty forgiving, extremely hot face, only complaint is the yellow color, it’s grown on me but I wish it wasn’t a bright yellow

[@stephendibari5010]

Yes 2016 M2 driver !! I bought mine on eBay last year in excellent condition for $170 with a senior shaft. Last year I’ve had two custom fits at 2ndSwing and firstly custom fit for a Hzdrs smoke yellow 5.5 then in November a Small Batch Evenflow Riptide CB 6.0 shaft. Average smash is 1.49. This baby isn’t leaving my bag anytime soon. Extremely forgiving. Best driver ever owned and I’ve been playing nearly 30 years! Out of curiosity I just bought a 2016 M2 3 wood in excellent condition with same Evenflow Riptide shaft as My current Sim Max 3 wood and 5 woods. Going to be fun comparing 3 woods, love the feel and performance of the sim max. I do notice that the 2016 M2 3 wood has a sharper leading edge and is much smaller and it doesn’t have twist face

[@johnaleixo9070]

I completely agree. Ping knocked it out of the park with the G425 family of woods

[@paultheriault7229]

Titleist 910H 19' - putting hybrids in my bag helped so much

[@nupelife007]

I have the G425 max driver and it has done wonders for my game. I’m getting more hits either real close to the green or at least within a wedge shot of the green from the tee.

[@jaygcapps]

I recently this last Christmas needed a new hybrid because I had a super crappy old Nike one and I picked up a Ping G425 4 hybrid and my goodness. It’s a fantastic club. I love it. Makes me want to look at the 3 wood for the line. Amazing club.

[@paulbillingham6769]

Absolutely am a fan of P790s. Hired some at a driving range and thought that these are the clubs I would be happy to play with for the rest of my life.

[@justinsing3110]

I recently took my G425 Driver out to the course for the first time and it has given me so much confidence! I use to hit the Callaway Big Berther Titanium 454, which I would hit these nasty slice shots constantly. And now I'm hitting straighter shorts with a baby fade! When I did hit the Callaway straight I would get around 250yds max, and with the G425 I hit it 297yds :D. Will be testing out the fairway wood soon as well :D

[@brettwiltshire]

I have just started using the G425 LST and it is incredible. I had issues with slice and I am now hitting 90% of my drives very straight. The 3 wood is just awesome an so easy to hit clean and straight and I have yet to get the 5 wood. I also love the G425 irons as well.

[@Willthethrill478]

These more than 10yrs but I’d say: Adams titelie, calla big Bertha drivers, TM 300 series drivers, TM original utility, OD 2 ball, Cleve wedges, tM rocket balz 3wd, but so many, some of my faves

[@Allotment-diaryUk]

Sports Direct Chipper. Amazing club.💪

[@NZFarmboy80]

I love my Titleist 712 AP1s still going strong after 10-11 years

[@dustin5007]

The Ping G410 are the best hybrids I've ever used. Forgiving and really easy to hit.

[@adamprice9231]

I’ve just taken out the 2016 m2 HL out of the bag and replaced it with the much older 905r from titleist. The m2 had a regular shaft and 905r has a stiff and it just feels so much more controllable for me. And I love that classic look behind the ball.

[@rexoner2000]

I saw this last week and became obsessed with buying the G425 3 wood (max). Tracked down a local person selling one and bought it for a great deal. Damn near brand new, the seller didn’t like it.Took it straight to the range it was odd. But I figured out a proper swing for the club. Works best with an effortless controlled swing rather than a full “kill it” swing. This might be nice to keep in the bag. Still love my Old Taylormade M1 3 wood.

[@MrAhuraMazda]

Cobra F9 is a beast. Ive never hit a driver that separated launch and spin as well as that club. It just puts the ball in a different window from any other driver I've used. Cobra F8 3 wood with the Baffler rails is a personal favorite too. Ping hybrid with the flat setting.

[@adamwright5055]

Agree with the G425 3 wood. Love it and have tried them all! The driver has been awesome also.

[@timk1828]

So glad to hear this. I love love love my M2!!

[@juanblanco4131]

The flat bottom on the g425's is something I wish cobra did with their woods. I don't like the curved bottom on woods. Makes me feel like I have to scoop the ball off the ground cause there's so little contact between club and ground, but they've compensated with the double rails which allows the user to hit a bit down on the ball and the club won't dig. But I love love my cobra speedzone driver. Sound, feel, price. Super forgiving club. I'm still getting 270 on off center hits. And the milled face just looks and feels great. I'll be playing this club for a long long time.

[@majen66]

I have the G425 Max Driver, 3W and 3i hybrid. They are absolutely my favorite clubs. I like the louder crack off the driver unlike many i guess. Ping is absolute quality and customizing the shafts was a big deal. Each is fully adjustable and does what they say.... forgiving, long and sleek. Truly it's the golfer that makes the difference once you get any set of newer high end clubs and i think forgiveness is a big deal. 5 yards distance (even 10) here or there really doesn't effect my level of golfer at all. Being in the fairway, hitting a target area and good dispersion does.

[@harst8963]

I have the ping G425 max driver, I brought it to the range last summer along with the Titleist TSI3. I'm a lifetime fan of Titleist and it was hard to do but after like 4 drives with the Ping, I knew it was a no-brainer. Not to mention it has a stiff shaft but I need XS, and I could still see how forgiving it is. No complaints on the distance either. Got to try the TaylorMade P790s. Currently using the Titleist 755s!

[@kennethmckinney2532]

I must say I got a second hand Ping G 3 wood 14.5 with the stock Alta stiff shaft and I absolutely can't miss hit it. It sits so flat to the ground and such a shallow face it's beautiful. It performs so beautifully off the ground especially tight fairway lies. When using it off the tee no tee is needed just a tiny cushion of grass. Great club...

[@jdwond3673]

I still use the G400 max driver, and a G400 5 wood. Both work great for me and I really like the 5 wood whether in the ruff, fairway, or off the tee.

[@timhouston1638]

I have the regular G400 driver, and the 3 and 5, but my answer to "best club" is actually my G400 4 hybrid, just awesome! My best/most reliable club by far.

[@axehole25]

Totally agree. I have the lst fairway and hybrid. Nothing beats the forgiveness and consistency of those clubs. I don’t have the driver, as I’ve opted for sim then stealth but ping was right there. Best driver ever-m1 440 2017. Low spin monster that offered more forgiveness than any other small head out there.

[@MrSitemaster2]

Cobra One Length Hybrid - Easy to use, versatile fairway finder that gives 3/4 iron distances from almost any lie.

[@WillPittRFC]

I treated myself to a G425 driver and 5 wood for Christmas, and have used the driver twice on course and the 5 wood once, and they're brilliant. The 5 wood is so easy to hit, I'm already toying with the idea of a 3 or 4 iron hybrid to complement it!

[@timothyryan9441]

Have the G410 19 and 22 hybrids. Almost hard to hit a bad shot.

[@GlennFunamoto]

I love the Ping G425 Max clubs. I have a Driver down to a 9-Wood. Very forgiving, straight, best that I've ever used. I also have the Itsy-Bitsy putter and haven't wanted to change it ever!!

[@pipebliss]

I have the g410 fw and i don't really see how the g425 is better/different. Ping definitely makes the most forgiving and easy to hit fairway woods (for me).

[@terrythomas7439]

I would say the olimar tri metals which are actually even older I have the 13° and 17° and they still go a mile and are easy to hit

[@andrewmacdonald6742]

I had ping, but switched to Honma TW747, love the sound , I've changed the shafts as the honma shaft are a bit soft, I've put evenflow black hand crafted, that I've pulled from my pings, The ping was too loud for me and the head was too big looking, the honma is a beautiful classic design, it reminds me of my old titliest 913D3 in looks

[@ericbriggs7383]

I'd say the Cobra F7 hybrid the best club made in the last 10 years. Such a versatile club and so easy to hit.

[@cumbatengineer]

I feel the same way about my F6 3H.

[@josephnewman713]

I agree with Rick. I test the new drivers every year and have yet to hit one better than my 2016 M2. Shout out to the Srixon ZX irons as well.

[@lukerossi8282]

I have an m4 19* hybrid that looks like it’s been put through a wood chipper but it’s not leaving the bag until it breaks

M2 Driver for sure⛳️ When i upgraded from the R7 I was shocked at how much better the M2 actually was, and the new stuff isn’t much better than the M2 IMO. M2 best club ever, FINAL ANSWER! Love the content👍🏻👍🏻

[@oliveradami199]

I agree on Ping 3w, together with fairway finder 7 wood....

[@ianwooten7064]

I have a two ball putter and I love it. Bought it used about 6 months ago.

[@Vincent-dc6ku]

SIM 2, 3 wood or 5 wood, round enhancers when long shots into greens required. 190 to 210 yards works for me. I had the original M2 until January, changed to the SIM 2, It goes better but feels not as good, maybe the shaft but overall I feel i'm hitting it better and a little further after moving to SIM 2 woods.

[@earlleonardo]

Happy to say that I game the G425 Max driver and 3w, G 7w and 4h. PING S55 irons and two-ball putter. Ping overall, is a great brand!

[@cpat7065]

Really good segment. I bought the G425 driver last year and it really vaulted my game. I am struggling with it this year but I will get it sorted out.

[@johnanderson6614]

I loved M2 2016 and it was awesome. I've upgraded multiple times since then but right now Sim2 has been the best driver I've ever hit and I'm gonna stick with it for a while.

[@mihirarjun2791]

The taylormade spider is a good shout. I switched from an odyssey white hot #9 to the spider and even though both are great for me I found that the consistentcy in terms of distance control with the spider was unmatched.

[@benbridge9700]

#9 to a spider are almost polar opposites when it comes to putters! Love it

[@mihirarjun2791]

[@justinkreyhomes2457]

100 % agree I absolutely love mine. I am a ping homer but I truly like the forgiveness of the G425 line...

[@russellkempe3231]

I was always told by my Elders not to be on the bleeding edge, but be back a version or two. I am totally happy with Taylormade SIM (1) with Ventus blue. For $250, I don't see any reason to change. I am not paying $550 for any driver unless it come with a date with Paige Spiranac.

To me, the best golf clubs will always be the GBB Epics. Specifically the fairwaywoods are my personal favorite. Still have the Epic 3 wood in my bag and it isnt leaving it anytime soon. Ive tried many other 3 woods, and nothing ever came close to the sound, feel and distance of this club. If anyone pulled the Epic driver out in front of me, that would be the club id desperately want to hit! Sadly never owned it.

[@hwats0n]

I have the G425 7 wood and is hands down my favourite club and so easy to hit.

At the moment I’m gaming a G30 driver, G410 3 wood, G410 5-W irons, Cleveland 51 & 56 deg T/A 588 wedges a ping M/G 54 deg wedge, and a SM7 60 deg wedge. And a ping sigma 2 answer putter. I’ve hit the 410 and 425 drivers not ready to spend $600-$700 for a extra 6 yards. Would like to see about upgrading my wedges but a $200+ a club seems to be a pretty expensive test.

[@cesarconda3612]

Yes! The 2016 M2 Driver is the best club from the past 10 years. I still have one (although I game a SIM 2 nowadays). I put it back in the bag every now and then.

For me, it's the Ping 425 Max driver. It gives me so much confidence that I can forgive it for the nasty-loud sound

I paid for a full bag fitting at Club Champion. The cost of new woods / drivers is so outrageous and the performance is minimal compared to 3 or 4 years ago. Thx to Rick and his honest comparisons we know the M2 is just as good as what's been released recently. With that said I'm going to buy a good used M2 and get fit for a shaft. New clubs are sort of a waste of money in my opinion.

I agree, I still have my original M2 driver and every year I put it up against all the new drivers and it out performs them all or stays even.

The flatness of ping woods only helps if your tall enough to have it flush to the group. Otherwise you would have to cut the shaft down about 2 inch’s. Flat woods don’t work for short ppl in my opinion.

[@Ranalol]

A good metric would be clubs that stay in the bag of pros the longest with no contract obligations, maybe a few have the same 3 wood from 5 years ago etc, they could change it but they haven’t. Difficult to measure I’ll admit but saying X is the best without trying all the others in a category or without data is too subjective. The answer would likely be something very boring like a vokey going off of choice of pro, but even then the differences between wedges is smaller compared to other clubs
