I'm 66 years old and bought a Ping G10 a year or so ago. However, I sold it and got caught up with all the new club hype and bought another G10 with a regular shaft. Found that it hits about the same as my old Ping G5, an when you sole the club, it looks instills alot of confidence that the ball is going to go long and straight. The shaft is a little longer than the standard 45", but does not impede the balance and swing weight. Ball goes medium to above medium height in flight and rolls a long way. Quite because it imparts less spin on the ball because of the weighting of the clubhead. Quite a handsome club and looks good any way you look at it. Glad Ping is still making these G10s cause if it ain't broke....don't.......it! You get alot of bang for the buck since it is just as good if not better than the new hyped up $500 clubs. Advise: Be sure to get fit or adequately demo club before buying it. bill ramos famousr@aol.comRead full review
Much easier to hit than my 5 iron. I have the Ping i10's so I wanted to stay in the same family so it looks like a matched set. That being said the Nickent 27* really launches the ball a lot higher, even giving up one degree of loft. I used to play Clevelands and used Halo hybrids for my 3 and 4 iron. So just against my experience with my old CG2 5 iron, I've lost about 10 yards on my carry with this hybrid. But, I haven't had a single mis-hit! Everything has been dead on target. Just have to learn to "up a club" every shot. Not much concern there...Typical 5 hybrid shot now = 195yds.
I bought this Ping G10 5 wood to use as a driving wood off the tee when my 3 iron just won't get there; also, to help on really long par 5's. I have to say that I love this club. I'm very picky on both feel and looks, but this 5 wood meets all my requirements. At address, it sits very low to the ground, which I like. It gives the head a very sleek profile looking down. The feel of the club at impact is very solid and true. I've found that I can work the ball left to right fairly easily. My only contention with the club would be that it has too much of an offset, and looks closed to my eye at address. I hit a natural draw, so I don't need the offset. But it does help get the ball up, and will help with guys who tend to push it or slice. Overall, I would highly recommend this club to anyone from a high handicap to a scratch player.Read full review
Sets up nice and square to the ball. Good solid sound at impact. L-O-N-G. This 17* 4-wood is as long as some 3-woods I have tried. Very nice boring trajectory. Orange color looks really nice on the club, and the matching Orange NVS shaft goes well with the Orange and grey headcover. Oh and one thing, and this may just be me, but Ping has figured out how to make a head cover that is not stupid hard to get on and off and yet it won't fall off.
This club sets up well for me. The high degree clubs have much shorter shafts and i found i control the ball much better with the shorter shaft. i have a 24* and a 21* with an 18* coming. i hit the 24* about 210 yds much more consistantly than i hit a seven wood with a standard length shaft. 21* = 225 yds. i have to have everything working to hit an iron 225 and my misses with a 5 wood can be much worse than with these clubs. To me these are like a club as easy to hit as a 7 iron but you can hit it 200-240! what can be wrong with that?
