ping g30 sf tec anti slice

[garyinderry]

Supposedly the anti slice driver. Here is Rick shiels review. I would tend to believe him.

Its the hook I was fighting for most of this summer. Super strong grip main culprit which I was softened recently. I read up on the Mizuno mp650 driver after using the 650 hybrids as they had an open face which I hooked a lot less. I purchased an 8.5 mp650 on a whim and tried it out. The thing was an eye opener. No matter what swing I put on it and how strong my grip was I couldn't make it duck hook. The weighting with the slightly open club face wouldn't let me hook.

I decided that I needed to up the loft as 8.5 was stupidly low and got my hands on a 9.5 of jocko. Again this doesn't want to duck hook at all. Hitting this a lot better than the 8.5.

Anyway I will stop babbling, the Crux of the post is that the weighting on the driver can really affect the flight. I had previously ignored these options in the past. I could have moved the weights on Taylor made r7 and r9 drivers but didn't as I didn't think it would have any effect.

IT DOES! much more than manipulating the face open or closed.

In summary, if you slice give the ping g30 sf tec a try and if you hook, get a Mizuno mp650. Try it for yourself. You can see Rick trying to cut the life out of the ball and it just wont slice like his regular driver. Its the same with that mp650 I have to wrestle it to make it duck hook which is unbelievable when you see the hooks I can do with a normal driver.


:thup:

Interesting as I've been fighting a nasty hook for a while, at one stage it was just completely ruining my game. But after some practice I think I've just about eliminated the game wreckers, and now I can slice it sometimes with the best of them

I think to some extent getting a driver that helps you out is fine, but what about the rest of the clubs you hit? I'd of thought most hooks will be down to some technical swing issue that is replicated across all clubs, it's just that it will be more prominent in the driver due to its low loft. And if you don't address that properly then will you ever sort it out?

I like Rick Shiels.

Sounds too good to be true. Good vid though.

I've just subscribed to Peter Finch's channel this morning funnily enough Chris!

This. When looking for a club review nowadays, I'll always go to Rick and Peter first. Love their stuff, especially the Monday Night Golf Show, Peter is hilarious.

In regards to this driver. Even if I had a big slice I wouldn't buy it. Buy the normal G30 and fix your club path and face delivery with a lesson.

 

[garyinderry]

Yeah really enjoy both of their channels. :thup:

The technology isn't new. Moveable weights has been used in drivers quite a lot. My mate used to shift the weights īn his Callaway razor extreme and say it really worked. I just ignored the option in my old drivers. Is that what the slide weight thing does on a SLDR?

 

[One Planer]

I had a TM R9 when I first took up the game.

That had moveable weights. Face closed and more weight in left heel.

I could still (... Read as would) cut a huge slice.

Personally, I'm not sure any amount of tech' can account for a poor swing path/face angle.

Maybe the ball will slice less, but it's still a slice.

 

[garyinderry]

Maybe the technology has moved on. Had I not hit the Mizuno mo650 I would be very sceptical myself. I am believer. :rofl:


Someone with a slice, get down to American golf and test this driver.

I have the SF Tec, I have never driven the ball as straight or long in my life. If I compare Sunday best with the G30 against the 913 im 20 yards better with the G30, genuinely and I have never bought into this new driver giving more length marketing but this just worked.

Don't get me wrong, a bad swing will produce a bad slice and no club will ever fix that. I have an OTT swing and have had for years, it's tough to correct so Im happy taking all the help I can from a club.

 

[CMAC]

its marketing GUFF! and I've not even watched the video- I don't need to, you cannot change physics laws with a miracle club.

I'm going to go to ag and slice the bejeebus out of it:whoo:

same shaft? same length?:mmm:

 

[apj0524]

I have one of these on trial and I like it, but I can slice if I don't concentrate on my swing path, so I agree with RS it wont cure your slice but will help.

When I concentrate I can hit a nice soft draw by release my wrists at impact and a soft fad by hold off the release so it think it will stay in the bag. For Some reason can not get on with the R1 at all and this is supposed to be an easy Driver to use ??

 

[Val]

same shaft? same length?:mmm:

To be fair it's a different shaft.

Titleist had the Diamana S+ Blue 62 - 64g, 4.5 torque and mid launch

G30 has the TFC 419D - 59g, 4.9 torque and mid launch

Both feel very similar and offer similar ball flight, unsure if the torque and weight would add that much length. The only check would be to try the other shafts in the other driver I suppose.

The bottom line for me was accuracy over length, my misses with the G30 were more manageable and the extra length was a bonus.

The 650 does the same for me. So much easier to keep the ball in play.

Less annoying than Crossfield?

 

[davemc1]

I don't really get it? Surely being a pro he could replicate a slice more than the likes of me?

I heard the k15 was there "anti slice" club and I soon sorted that out!

Its gotta be worth a go though.... Fairways here I come, but probably still not the right one!

where are we thinking the best place in the nw is to have a crack? I'd ideally want to see the ball flight for real and not just on a simulator into a net

 

[garyinderry]

Clarkes at north west national rainford should have it. They also have a range to see the flight.

 

[Dan2501]

Way less. Peter Finch is genuinely funny, whereas Crossfield is funny in a David Brent laughing-at-him way. Give the Monday Night Golf Show a watch on Rick's channel. That'll give you a great idea of what they're like. Especially the Q+A at the end. Pete's story about why he's not on Tour was hilarious.
