Was hoping to also book a mizuno fitting, but according to the range that is the dealer, mizuno doesn't have its fitting kits yet.
Has anyone tried any of the new drivers?

I don't even notice them... even less so now my ball finds the fairway or first cut most times.

Might not be the correct fairway or first cut but, you know, it's a start....

Where were you playing,? I thought I saw a shooting star on the 22nd in the afternoon over Epsom… didn’t realise it could have been one of your drives…….. FROM KENT!

Well, as I beat your score at your old club and new club when we played, I don't need to worry about the driver anyway! ?

Tried the Ping G430 sft today .
bit windy so not ideal ,hit some absolute bombs and my misses were not to bad.
better sound , used my own Alta shaft as it has a midsize grip .
I think it’s defo better than G425 but it’s marginal.
is it £459 better NO.
then tried the Callaway Paradym instant dislike . Can’t say why but thinner grip always makes trying clubs a lottery.
both clubs had 10.5 loft but the Callaway looked about 6* loft.
must be the way the club is constructed but was a bit offputting.
but have to say I hit it well.
very dull sound though. Much lower flight.
going to try the Ping Max tomorrow just hope the wind dies a bit.

Shame about the 18th at croham though mate ?
Had a crack with the Ping 430 today. A few shots with my M2 which averaged 220 carry , 235 total 14 deg launch and just under 2000 spin. Club speed was well down though mid 90s . On to the ping tried a couple of the Ping shafts. A slight increase in overall distance. We then went down to a reg shaft, but a heavier one, I think it was tour something 70 gram. The difference was a big one, launch was a bit higher , but the Carry went up another 15 yards with a nice flight, total dist over 250, ball speed and CHS were both up.
Very temped, but being tight £460 is a bit on the steep side for me. Going to try the Mizuno when they get the fitting kit in..
The mizuno is going to need to do a lot I think.

Would it gave been possible to pop a different shaft into the m2 to see if that made a difference?
I'm tempted to think that, as well as popping on new grips and checking lofts/lies at the start of every season, we should all spend 30 mins on the monitor checking our driver set up is optimised for whatever passes for this year's swing. After all, given a particular swing speed and head delivery, it's pretty well known maths to make sure the setup delivers the preferred flight.

But...but....fitting is a con.....all shafts are the same......

The Mizuno won't be much cheaper though. Why not get the G425 in the same shaft? Won't be much in it, but there'll be a difference in the price!

Interesting that a heavier shaft helped gain distance. Did the fitter explain why?

There’s one on EBay now.

Yes heavier shaft normally slows you down.
but launch conditions must be better.

If it goes longer and straighter why the hell should anyone care about the noise??? I don't! Never understood that argument.And the noise....

Pardon..?
It is I suppose, but this guy has a trackman, we hit decent balls of my normal tee hight, where as if I wanted to do a comparison the best I could do would be a sim at the driving range with crap balls off a rubber tee.
