Went into American Golf today to try out a Ping G20/25 3 wood against my old trusty Callaway Big Bertha War Bird, 3 wood. Hit my Callaway best overall total distance on machine was 200 yards, carry was between 165 to 170. Some shots not as good. Then onto G25 total distance was only few yards longer but carry was up by about another 20 yards. Nothing to get me excited and I was a bit disappointed to be honest.
Spoke to the guy in store and mentioned SLDR who said this is not easy to hit, my swing speed is 88 mph. He then mentioned Adams and I was thinking of trying this. So he pulls out the Tight Lie in 16 degree loft with a regular Mitsubishi Bassara shaft, this club has a speed pocket designed so the face has a trampoline effect. I have a practice swing and am impressed and like the feel. I hit a shot with it and the carry is 190, total yards 208. Hit a few more and the carry is up to 200 with total run to 211. However the dispersion is awesome only 3-5 yards off centre. This club hits hit 200 carry with 208to 213 run consistently. I only get 200 with the Callaway about 25 per cent of the time but consistently with the Adams.
I was very, very impressed with this club, as much impressed compared to the disappointment of the G25.
Has anyone else hit/looked at these clubs and what's your thoughts........
