I’m just recovering from a stroke, but hoping I will be able to play sometime this season. Want to get fitted for a new Ping driver, as I play with Ping now, and have an old G30 driver that I don’t hate. Loved your video Sir. Thank you for your insight. 🇨🇦💝👍
PXG does offer special discounted pricing for active or retired law enforcement and military, for me in the states being in that program myself, i can get the 0311 black ops for $449. And most everything on the website is discount to some extend which it's awesome
I'm becoming a big fan of PXG clubs. It took me a while to get there, but I'm here. They make great clubs, give a nice discount to veterans, and put all of the really nice premium touches on things like head covers, etc. I have the 0311 GEN 6 Driver and GEN 6 hybrid XF and I love them both. Great clubs.
As good as the Ping might be - I just cannot get comfortable over it with how busy the club head is with those weird turbulators or whatever the hell they call these things on the top. The Cobra LTDx was in my bag the last 2 years but after testing - nothing compared to the Callaway AI Smoke!
Golf WRX or My Golf Spy? I recently went for a fitting at PXG and put the black Ops against current G410. G410 had the carry, Black opps on total due to lower spin.
Played around with a mate off 32 handicap, he got fitted for the Ping G430 max 10k. Even with 10k you still have to hit it middle or vey close. 10k is an advertising plug that’s working. Looks wise that PXG is tidy
@@andreashley6084 in 12 months he will be off 20 as he does a lot right. 10k will have nothing to do with it. I think we all hope that new club will work miracles 😀
You show the distance, but you never show which driver more accurate. For years I have seen James hit the Ping more accurate but choose a different driver because of distance. I use to do the same thing. I have always been a TM guy, but switched to Ping due to accuracy. I hate the tabulators but love the accuracy.
So I think this is pitched at the longer driving low handicapper. I bought the taylor made iQ10 and it is very forgiving. Never so made so many middle of fairways in my life.
I am a mid to high handicap golfer and I have never liked the Ping drivers , stopped trying after the G410 , I have been playing Taylormade Pre twist face , did not like the twist face and Cobra drivers up to the Rad speed , Just got a Tour Edge E722 to try out this year . looking forward to that . cheers . :)
Loved this! Those are the two clubs I was wanting to game this year! Gave the Qi10 LS a run but the Ping 10K beat it out! Plus I didn’t like like looking to see if the face popped out after each shot! Lol😂
I brought the ping 430 last year when it first hit the shelves but sold for it after 6 months just couldn’t not get on with it went for a fitting and found my driver I now own lay a PXG
Hello James I seen a video of the same pxg driver the guy had the loft at 8 degrees he was hitting it far. He said that it was like a long driver with forgiveness
James why do you look at average drives on forgiving drivers as they are always within a couple of yards surely it’s better to see which one gives the best maximum distance when you go for one.
Not impressed with PXG clubs. Poor customer service, poor assembly. Crooked screws and epoxy smeared on shafts. Custom fit and came out of specs. Wanted me to pay for return shipping to fix. Dumped them.
everyone likes preferences and you can see and hear James had a lot to say about what bothers him about the Ping... at this point, drivers are all the same... and it's the same story every year... more distance, more forgiveness, and shut up and give us your money... oh wait, look at the colors we have...
No one buys PXG’s. I work at golf courses in Myrtle Beach. It’s rare to see them. And they’re more expensive than most. They are good clubs in their own right, but you just don’t see them much.
I always find it funny how golfers say “oh I need/want a traditional looking driver” but then are referring to something that like 10 years old.. if you want a traditional looking driver go get yourself a old wooden driver… lol..
@@JamesRobinsonGolf still would have been good to see dispersion on the indoor test as you hit a lot of balls indoors? But still enjoyable video as usual
Best friend and playing partner hits the g430 10 k .....and loves it ....but I have the cobra ltdx from couple years back ....and we have almost identical swing speeds ...and we can switch drivers and to be honest there is not any distance gains either way nor forgiveness....I do play my ltdx with a upgraded carbon infused custom shaft at 3 wood length 43in ....and if I were going to spend 600 on one of the new drivers it would be the ping 430 10k ......
One has to wonder if the clubs have hit a limit. A this far and no farther. I used to update my clubs every 1-2 years. Now, I wait until I feel I’m losing yards due to metal fatigue. My hybrids were a classic example. Lost 15 yards and upgraded and got the 15 yards back.
I agree with your statement 100 % I gamed the taylormade sldr 9.5 from time it came out until about 4 years ago .....and only reason it came out of the bag is because I noticed a significant loss in yardage ....I thought maybe it was me ...at first ...but it was 20 yards shorter on average the last year I gamed it and it felt well....dead ....like it had lost its pop ....now I wasn't playing everyday but up to 5 times a week and at least 3 ....and that's not counting range and indoor practice ...it had been hit 10 of thousands of times I am sure ....but I feel there hasn't been much gains for at least 5 years now maybe 10 ....on the equipment side ...but things like you say do wear out and get fatigued ....I do feel unless you just want to spend the top dollar on a brand new model....you can better spend your money on clubs that are prior models maybe one or two seasons back and use what you save on tee times or lessons and the money is better spent....I just changed out my irons...to ping I 230s ....was gaming the s55 and would still be but the 7- pw are getting where the grooves and faces are slick and when any water comes in to play it can be an issue ....I hate changing irons ....but that's just me ...
How did the driver “forgive” your swing? You hit 500 balls a day. Get a high handicapped player on your show, let’s see how “forgiving” those clubs are.
Hi all manufacturers claim there club is the best so while i was thinking that you would like to put the callaway smoke against the new titleist to put these manufacturers to the test😅😅😅
So they make them lighter with carbon fiber then add tungsten weights to make it heavier!🤔🤪! Yes , I know why but I think it’s getting rather silly!!!! Learn how to hit the damn ball where you want it to go through practice, practice,practice!!!!
Fun fact: the PXG clubs are pronounced “Oh three eleven”. Their clubs are named after the US Marine job codes. 0311 is infantry.
Fun answer….who gives a ferk😂
That's a bit cringe.

"Turned into what it shouldn't have, a long drive competition" 😅 Basically describes ALL my practice sessions!
PXG does offer special discounted pricing for active or retired law enforcement and military, for me in the states being in that program myself, i can get the 0311 black ops for $449. And most everything on the website is discount to some extend which it's awesome
When comparing clubs like drivers can you also show dispersions as this is a criteria most look at probably even more than total distance
Although the PXG was slightly longer it looked as though you had more shots that went left. I would have liked to have seen the dispersion of both .
PXG Engineers are ex Ping Engineers…
Shouldn’t be overlooked… 🤷♂️
True. Prob why I play pxg irons and putter. Ping driver hybrid and wedges. But can easily be interchanged
For $600.00 it should carry itself around the course!!!!!
Just spat my coffee out
I guess im a different kind of golfer, where as I dont care what the looks or sound is like but If its in play more than other clubs its in my bag.
People sound like whiny brats …”it sounds bad “ ….. GTFO 😂
"Well, if you love it so much, why don't you marry it?!"
Peter Finch to his Ping driver: "I do! "

I have the ping 430 MAX and have never loved a driver more
Love the sound of the PXG. The ball flight of the PING seems much higher.
As good as the Ping might be - I just cannot get comfortable over it with how busy the club head is with those weird turbulators or whatever the hell they call these things on the top. The Cobra LTDx was in my bag the last 2 years but after testing - nothing compared to the Callaway AI Smoke!
I’m going smoke too baby!
Could u compare some of these to there 2-3-4 yr old models, like Qi10 vs Sim2 which is half the price?
I’m thinking there is very little difference especially against the Sim2.
Golf WRX or My Golf Spy? I recently went for a fitting at PXG and put the black Ops against current G410. G410 had the carry, Black opps on total due to lower spin.
I think I did mix them up actually 🙌🏼😂

32 handicap… can you blame him for thinking ill pay anything to improve 😅
@@andreashley6084 in 12 months he will be off 20 as he does a lot right. 10k will have nothing to do with it. I think we all hope that new club will work miracles 😀
the 0311 can also be way over 10k with the right weight configuration
You show the distance, but you never show which driver more accurate. For years I have seen James hit the Ping more accurate but choose a different driver because of distance. I use to do the same thing. I have always been a TM guy, but switched to Ping due to accuracy. I hate the tabulators but love the accuracy.
That’s exactly why I do on course as well buddy. Nobody can really test accuracy inside
I’ve overlooked PXG never thought I’d had it my bag but here we are replacing Ai smoke for black opp
As a Dave, I agree I hit the crown of my driver only when I don't want to. And I never want to.
James downplays Ping until his driver swing is rubbish and then what do we see in the bag...😢
So I think this is pitched at the longer driving low handicapper. I bought the taylor made iQ10 and it is very forgiving. Never so made so many middle of fairways in my life.
the 0311 can also be well over 10k with the right weight configuration
The KBS TD shafts don't get enough love, IMO. Terrific, stable shaft, and it isn't $400. I wish PXG offered it as a stock option!
I am a mid to high handicap golfer and I have never liked the Ping drivers , stopped trying after the G410 , I have been playing Taylormade Pre twist face , did not like the twist face and Cobra drivers up to the Rad speed , Just got a Tour Edge E722 to try out this year . looking forward to that . cheers . :)
Tbh I think the TSR3 is still top tier. When you flush it there's nothing better and even when I miss the forgiveness is still really good.
Loved this! Those are the two clubs I was wanting to game this year! Gave the Qi10 LS a run but the Ping 10K beat it out! Plus I didn’t like like looking to see if the face popped out after each shot! Lol😂
I’ve had ping the last two drivers and I looked the turbulators. Makes it more modern looking to me
“Here’s the PXG in the rough, and here’s the Ping smack in the middle of the fairway. “ Bro listen to what you just said.
Great head to head James and I could easily game either one
I just got fitted for a full bag of PXG. Loving the black ops!
I brought the ping 430 last year when it first hit the shelves but sold for it after 6 months just couldn’t not get on with it went for a fitting and found my driver I now own lay a PXG
How was dispersion in the studio?
Pointless IMO. Outside accuracy is real life
@@JamesRobinsonGolf Then maybe hit more than 2 shots in 10 minutes of video. My god.
@@The_RUclips_Critic indeed
The Black Ops driver is legit and if you can get the hero price, it's not terrible.
I traded a bunch of used clubs I got at thrift for a Sim 2. Works great. Was fun to do

The ping driver is going to be worth a lot more when it comes to trading it in.

I play the gen5 pxg great driver also 0211 irons, great video James
The gen 5 0311 driver has turned me from a hater to a fan girl 100% got a 3 wood coming soon as well!
PXG Black ops drivers were too late for the mygolfspy best driver test.
I always find it funny how golfers say “oh I need/want a traditional looking driver” but then are referring to something that like 10 years old.. if you want a traditional looking driver go get yourself a old wooden driver… lol..
Do you care what the cook looks like as long as the food is amazing and clean?
Nothing mentioned about dispersion on a forgiving driver test? I don't get that.
Its gotta be the 0311 as that may be the best band ever
That pxg best looking driber this year lads
Looks like you are gaming or testing a lot of PXG clubs! Watch you everyday too!
They are killing it this year IMO!
Ya nice club of the new ping and the PXG.. but I think the new cobra Darkside is the one of the top driver of 2024.. do a video and you will see!
My PXG Black Ops with the Graphite Designs XC shaft is outstanding.
Cobra LTX best most forgiving driver I have used.
Your recommendations are spot on, I'm sure, but £500 just isn't justified, IMO. The used market is where I club shop now.
Agree 100% - just bought myself a rogue at max for £160. Bargain compared to these new driver prices
100% guys. I actually filmed a really interesting used video today will be out next week
Agreed 👍, I have like $450 into my entire bag, including a pull cart and bag
@@JamesRobinsonGolf look forward to seeing that, love your content
@@nathanpuckett448 that’s a great effort - new stuff is lovely, but can get similar performance with 2nd hand for sure
Didn’t show the accuracy of each driver which is more important than distance?
That’s what on course testing is for
@@JamesRobinsonGolf still would have been good to see dispersion on the indoor test as you hit a lot of balls indoors? But still enjoyable video as usual
PXG vs ping that's a hard one Brad designs on both
Is there an uncharge for the shafts on both the Ping & PXG?
Gen 6 0311 sent my Ping G430 LST to ebay.
How do you configure the weights in the PXG to make it 10K ?
Best friend and playing partner hits the g430 10 k .....and loves it ....but I have the cobra ltdx from couple years back ....and we have almost identical swing speeds ...and we can switch drivers and to be honest there is not any distance gains either way nor forgiveness....I do play my ltdx with a upgraded carbon infused custom shaft at 3 wood length 43in ....and if I were going to spend 600 on one of the new drivers it would be the ping 430 10k ......

Were you fitted for both or either drivers?
James you looked so off balance on the first ping follow through, surprised it one the first drive
Turbulators are butt ugly, but the driver definitely performs as does the PXG.
I think you were more consistent with the Ping. And… golf is a game of consistency
Have you stored the Ping 430 LST?
Imagine if James didn't hit pull slices. He might have 320yds of average distance. He's right tho, the PING 10k sounds horrific.
😂😂😂😂🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
Are you keeping the plastic on the front of these drivers?
If Pete went to China, he could marry it.😅
Did you check swing weigh on both drivers you can also adjust the back weight on the ping which makes it a better driver 🤷♂️
You can adjust the standard ping but not the 10k its fixed
@@JamesRobinsonGolf no I took out the 28 gram weight in back to a 25 gram to make it d3 swing weight which I was fit for
Makes a big difference because ping head is so heavy
Buttbots and cameltoe bots love James Robinson. Hahahaha
I really don’t know why lol
@@JamesRobinsonGolf great daily golf content. That's why. Inspiring too buttbots say
MyGolfSpy, not GolfWRX
James...do you think that 10k ping is overrated 🤷🤷 ibe read the standard one is better 🤷👍👍👍
They both ping drivers.
I think Bryson DeChambeau wins the masters this year
How did the driver “forgive” your swing? You hit 500 balls a day. Get a high handicapped player on your show, let’s see how “forgiving” those clubs are.
If you purchase in Dubai you pay even more
Way to much Money
You keep coming across that line bud. Lets see you start hitting some high draws
What about tour edge driver
Hi all manufacturers claim there club is the best so while i was thinking that you would like to put the callaway smoke against the new titleist to put these manufacturers to the test😅😅😅
Consider it done 👍🏼
I can't stand the sound a Ping driver makes ... a tin can on the end of a stick ... horrendous.
So they make them lighter with carbon fiber then add tungsten weights to make it heavier!🤔🤪! Yes , I know why but I think it’s getting rather silly!!!! Learn how to hit the damn ball where you want it to go through practice, practice,practice!!!!
Talking balls have you tested the 'clear ball'
No buddy?
Really nice. Felt soft and great round the greens and also went a good distance. Worth a try out with Chris In 'talking balls'
Where can we get them mate?
Ebay 25.00 dollars for one dozen. Carl used them to win masters
Thanks Skye
QI10 Max is better than both
Ya...well... that's just like ... your opinion man
