The decision to purchase a new driver has a lot to do with where I play. I'm a senior (76) player and play 4 days a week here in Texas. Playing the Senior tees, I can't always hit driver on the various par 4s. A few years back, I went to Club Champion for a driver fitting. I ended up paying $1000 for a Titleist head and upgraded shaft. No complaints about the price, I agreed to everything. That's the point though. When is the right time to spend that much money on a club used for only eight shots in a round. I really find myself asking, "how much difference will any new/different equipment make in my score"? My current index is 9.1. My 2 cents!
I just picked up the g430 max. Got new for 399$ at my local Golf mart. Not the 10K version. It is incredMart. Fairway finder . Also it is my first ping driver. I had the TaylorMade Qi 10 but this one is just better for me all the way around. And I know James Robinson is going to hate me for this.. I like the turbulators😂
My fitter put me in the standard max 430 , as he had more options to fit around me. No really distance gains either and very happy with it 52% of fairways hit enough said
Have a 430 max and have a G400. 430 max is a better forgiving driver for me but still use the 400 in my second set of clubs in Florida. It works fine for me as well.
I'll make a prediction; both you and Robbo will change drivers next season as all you tubers tend to do even though they all talk up the second hand market, last season's model and cheaper brand new options.
Turbulators are horrible. I've avoided ping drivers due to them. I've got a ping 5 wood and 4 hybrid and would consider the driver if they hot rid of them.
@andybt3989 nope and I won't. I cant get over the turbulators. Very off-putting. But yes they are probably good as the t wood and hybrid I have are excellent 👌
10k user since the week it released and not looking back! So forgiving with high launch and low spin…yes please.

I don't even see them when I set up. I have never used the alignment aids on clubs. Sounds never effect me. Yeah Ping, I love their clubs.

not tried any of these new ones, I'm still playing the Ping I15 driver, 3 wood and 5 wood
Just love their straight fairway finderness

Well done Chris 👏 😊

I have a g430 10k Max love it.
I bought this model during Black Friday sales at GCFC, traded my F7, got it for £93.00. I felt like the police should have been called.
I've got a g430 lst with a ventus blue in it, it'll take a lot to get me to part with it 😂

Have you actually swung one? That’s what counts! Not aesthetics!

Love my G430 LST, 10K head is just to big for my eye
The ping G400 was close to 10k with a rating of 9.8
One of the main reasons I’ve never gamed ping the turbulators and sound of them always put me off
Performance overrides everything for me! Couldn’t care less about looks and sounds as they aren’t as important!
@@andybt3989 agreed andy
Just keep the same design and paint it a different color. You really can’t improve much since these things came out in the modern style.
Lol. This ping driver isnt much different than the last one
