BTW my buddy plays once a week way early with a lit golf ball. Says it plays life normal off a driver but irons way shorter and clanky.

That makes sense! Traveling..especially on the other side of the world..is never fun!

Oh, I would imagine the balls are like hockey pucks! It's all for show and would never use my good clubs on them!

It’s a monster and about as straight as I can expect any club to be. Strongly recommend.

I looked into the GT2, but I really don't want to spend that kind of money right now, especially when I am just now working with a pro to dial in my swing and what works best. But the GT2 is very tempting though! I have heard great things about the GT line!

So, to talk about what you said above and what the Pro said when I had my lesson on Saturday. My Ping G30 is over 10 years old. I am still new when it comes to shaft specs and head specs. The Pro was looking at my driver shaft and he said its a flexible one and made for seniors. Which makes sense since my dad bought that over 10 years ago in Florida and doesn't play anymore.

You could see in the video of me swinging the Ping, the shaft looked like it was completely bent going through my swing. The Pro said my natural swing is just forceful and strong that the flex shaft is actually hurting my driving game big time. I was driving the ball about 230 with ball speed almost 7k RPM. Which is crazy!

He put his Qi10 LS with stiff shaft driver in my hands and instantly could see the numbers improve. We tweaked a few things with my swing and now I am consistently hitting the ball over 270-290 yards on 3/4 swing effort.

Now, we are looking at finding a driver that would be a great fit!

Bought a new driver! Testing it out today after work! Freakin steal of a deal! All brand new too!

Driver head: Taylormade Qi10
Shaft: Fujikura Motore X F1 7-X Extra Stiff Shaft

Can't wait to feel the difference from my 10+ old driver that has a senior super flimsy shaft.

For those of you in the bay area - I have a couple extra slots open for Half Moon Bay on the 22nd, Saturday afternoon. Shoot me a DM if you want to come play. We'll be playing the Old Course, so all you short hitters / old men shouldn't be at TOO much of a disadvantage lol. Lots of layups and doglegs where I barely ever pull out my driver. I do hit it 300+ when it comes out though...

Well that didn’t take long!

Looking forward to your thoughts on the new driver. The tech has come a long way in 10 years but as I was told years ago, it’s usually the Indian and not the arrow.

Enjoy those years. Eventually you find "hey I nutted that and it didn't carry that trap".

I swear they move traps back on some courses.
