Ping G440 K Driver

I know !

But (how much) does it *help* ???

BTW : I actually slice *only* with the driver !?

My advice, go to the range and film yourself with the camera/ phone pointing the direction you are hitting. Then slowly look at your swing path.
I was sat on a plane and deleting hundreds of photos and videos. I came across three videos of me on the range and had a good look at them. I was massively coming over the top. And had been doing it for a couple of years. When I played the video slow, you could see my right shoulder pushing forward. I have consciously tried to stop that and also focus on hitting more through the ball. When it is right the difference is not 10-15 yards but well over 50.

Interested to know how you get on with it. My last three drivers have been Taylormade and my M2 is getting on a bit. Undecided whether to stay with them or switch to Ping

Tried it on Saturday. Definitely a big improvement over my current XR16

Major thing I noticed was a lot less drop off on the mishits. Ping seemed to be going about 20 yards further on the not so good strikes.

Unsure whether it’s worth the extra money over the standard G440, would need to demo them side by side but will definitely be a big improvement on my current driver no matter which one I went for

Oops: there are two things you can do: get an extremely draw biased driver and hope that works - however, this is a bit of a patch: it wil engrain your swing fault by masking it. OR, better: get three lessons on driver only from a pro, and also ask them what club would suit you. So, fitting and lessons combined.

Golf is a confidence thing.
If you're ab,e to look down on any club and it breeds confidence in you then you're going to swing it better than looking down on something you really don't like.
Some minds work like that, some don't..
No right or wrong answers....I couldn't use the 2 tone TM drivers of a few years back.
The look just messed with my head as did the white headed ones.

For me that confidence comes from hitting it and seeing that it works.

The only time I think it really matters to me what I'm looking at is with putters, because there are some wildly different looking putters out there. But drivers pretty much all look the same to me.

Confidence for me comes from consistency - I get quicker as I play a round if all going well...

On the looks, I disagree a little in that they all look the same. I hate a mahoosive looking driver and some are smaller, or disguise their volume better than others. But, as said, I am not a fan of matt finish heads, so Ping tend to fall away on that point alone.
