Sneakylong 'Smaht' demoing it on the course opposed to just the range. I can't see me moving off the G425 SFT.

Only way to demo effectively. We're spoiled here. Some people keep the damn clubs for weeks.

My playing partner today was an 86 year old guy with a PING bag full. G410 driver, G425 irons (8-W), G400 woods, K15 hybrid. Guy is about 5'9" with a short swing. Hits a baby draw 20 yards past me on EVERY hole (200 + yards). I beat him today (77 vs 85) only because he can't chip and putt, but holy shit - he's 86 (avid tennis player in great shape) - my freaking hero!

      sdandrea1 If I remember correctly, the SFT weight was heavier than the sliding weight and more in the heel than the sliding weight.

      Good thinking on trying the 10.5 regular… especially at such a light weight. You can always try adjusting it up to 12 if you want… it’ll also close the face a bit for you. Even if you don’t have a lot of clubhead speed, your transition with that first shaft might be too quick which would contribute to the high spinny balloons.

          Always play my Pings at the highest loft because I want max draw bias. That’s why I chose the Cobra FMax and AirMax hybrids because of the weight in the heel and offset for max draw bias.

          I see a lot of golfers set up with a closed face by toeing the club face in at address. If they just adjusted the loft to the highest setting they’d get a closed face without the manipulation.

              sdandrea1 Ive never liked the Turbuators either, but the G430 does look a bit cleaner with the carbon fiber "checkers" and the T-shaped framing on the crown. I too, wish they would UnTurbulate. The performance can overcome the look though. YMMV. I'll take some better pics next time I'm at the shop.

              I have a G that I bought used a few years ago. 12 degrees, Alta shaft, Senior flex, SFT. I didn't like the look of the turbulators at first either, but after I kept hitting one drive after another right down the middle, I forgot about "the look" and just enjoyed the results! My next driver (whenever the time comes) will be a Ping as well.....

                Sounds like he ought to be MY hero too! Maybe today's the day I start working out....again....🤣

                  DonM Would they be Holy Grail?

                  Ha,ha. Hell no. I've yet to find a Holy Grail club. Kinda like space aliens. Not sure they exist. 😎

                    Typhoon Steve will be unstoppable now with his g400sft

                    I had a Holy Grail day with it today. It was our monthly Scramble. Hit every fairway and it's as long as anything else I've tried. I might stick with the R flex Alta CB. Love the sound and feel (again). 😉

                        Demo'd @Bravopilot's KSIG putter today. Nice unit. Has a pleasing click at impact and the ball rolls off nicely. Alignment marks are easy on the eyes. Stock Super Stroke grip is good. I put the 2 x 20g weights in it and it still feels too light to me. I struggled with my lag putts, but from 10 feet in, was able to stop the ball right at or in the hole (made 2 of those). If it was mine, I'd go with the Flatso and add an inch of length to the shaft. I have no idea how well the finish will wear. The paint on the sole and the weights looks great, but who knows how it holds up. Headcover is VERY nice. I'm not a fan of PING ANSER style putters (prefer half and full mallets), but if I was, I'd put this in contention. It's a great price for what seems to be a high quality putter, once you dial in the grip, weight, etc.

                        I have not hit the KSIG wedges yet.

                          johnnydoom You're just taunting us now!

                          Everyone here already knew this model is an awesome unit. 😉

                            sdandrea1 Nice review. I’m an Anser/Anser2 fan. A few of our guys have the ksig and I tried it on our putting green. No complaints! The wedges though as you’ll see are not Vokey or Callaway Jaws sized… more like midsized. I little too big for me.

                                Typhoon wedges are not Vokey

                                Good size for average hackers and also no special grinds, IIRC.
                                Square set up for the most part.

                                    Spuzz no special grinds, IIRC.

                                    Yeah, FWIW I hate all the grind and bounce options. I’ve have the OG pm grind wedges forever and they come in one bounce and grind… it’s what I like amd I’ve never had an issue. Too many options has your always second guessing

                                        Typhoon Too many options has your always second guessing

                                        Too many "letter" grinds now.
                                        Basic heel relief that doesn't increase bounce a lot when you open the face is all I need.
                                        No idea what letter that is? C? or maybe S?

                                            When you move off it use it as a door stop, so you don’t have to rebuy it a third time. Lol. Like I said it’s a classic. I’m not buying anymore clubs right now. I’ll never sell my G400 even though it’s in backup mode.

                                            It has a better sound than my G425, but sound doesn’t bother me. I remember the Cobras that sounded like an aluminum baseball bat. Everyone could hear you on the range when hitting those drivers. I’m results oriented, so that trumps everything.
