For those that have followed my long and boring posts re me not getting on with my driver (SLDR). I have tried and tried and tried to get on with it. The bottom line is that it is worse than my previous driver PING G 15.
I have sought advice on here and in essence it ended more or less saying me swing was crap. The same swing that served me ok with my previous driver. One thing stopped me buying a new driver. I paid £329 for this SLDR magic WAND. And it could not cast a spell. So I was loathe to make the same mistake again.
i went to PING at Gainsborough and had a fitting for a driver, I was given the spec for one but in essence my driving that day was shocking. To get summat out of the SLDR I seemed to have to work hard with my swing.
Anyway working at the pit in the medical everything that gets sold at the pit is dropped off in the medical to get passed on. Tuesday morning there was. G30 driver sat there. I was purring it was for one of the lads to pick up for £130 and was legit. I have first dibs for £125 if he don't want it
i was like a craphouse fly caught in the light.
last night I took it for a blast in a nine hole comp.
first drive. I dint hit it right but straight down the middle prob 170 yd. with my SLDR it would of gone 30 yd right.
second drive 240 yd with massive side wind straight down the middle.
third drive dint hit it right but 150 straight down middle hit path and kicked 90 degree right.
fourth hole on a par five 220 yd straight down middle so much so I had a chance for the the first time ever to play second shot over the water. Which I dumped into the pond.
fifth 180 safe.
Sixth 190 yd into a gale no probs.
in essence no probs. strange thing is that I was playing second shots on the course where I had never been before. I never knew which clubs to chose coz ad not been there before.
heres my quandary I think I have made my mind up but I still have niggling doubts.
the club is the exact same speck except the shaft in the second hand one is a regular (same as SLDR) and PING recommend a soft reg. I have 99% made me mind up to change but do I buy new to PINGs spec, or plump for the second hand one. Is there that much difference between the two shafts.
massive help required chaps and chap petted.
