After nearly 12 years of hitting a Titleist driver I am heading over to hitting the new Ping G10.  Now, to make myself perfectly clear...I am a Titleist guy to the bone.  Titleist makes a very high quality golf club from Driver to putters so I am not changing because I have lost faith in Titleist.  I will be still carrying a Titleist staff bag with Mr Business Golf on it so I am not jumping ship, much anyway.

So enough of the Titleist commercial and lets get down to why I am going to be hitting the G10.  It is very simple...30 to 35 yards of distance.  Yes, I could not believe it either, but it is so.   Compared with the same shafted Titleist 905R against the Ping G10 I am across the chart improved.  More swing speed, more ball speed, higher launch, longer carry and about the same accuracy. Straight down the middle of the fairway...but now through the dogleg and into my backyard on the dog leg left par four I live on.

And the big thing about this is I am not hitting the G10 in the sweet spot...yet and to top it off, I am swinging at an average of 5 MPH less than what I was swinging with the 905.

I’ll be working with the G10 through the winter to get ready for next season’s tournament schedule.  Plus, I will keep you up to date on this big change in my club solutions.
