It’s that time of year again, new driver day! 😍 Will anything beat the Ping G430 Max (cheating stick) that I’ve had in the bag for 3 years? Will I end up with the TaylorMade Qi4D, the Callaway Quantum or something completely different? Maybe even the new Ping G440K, who knows?
Huge thanks to Ryan and Scottsdale Golf!
Hope you enjoy, Gaz!

Always struggle hitting in sims
Gaz do you have some kind of deal with Scottsdale? why do you always go to them for a fitting. get yourself over to Chesterfield to SGGT and see Lawrence or Jordan hitting out onto a range with Pro V1's, It will be so much better
Just bought a second hand G430 max 10k. The hype is real. I had the ai smoke max which was also great but so much easier to miss with that wild right shot. The ping gave me so much confidence
Ventus black works well for you, why try a devotion in the TM? Id have thought finding the best head with the ventus would be the way to go… and once settled on the head maybe try a different shaft or 2.
Totally get it cos today is the first time I have been consistent and longer with driver in a sim
I have my lessons with Chris, he’s the man
love paying for youtube premium to watch an add in the video
Wouldn't worry about it I'm off 4 went for an iron fitting shanked it all over the place
G440K
You have the same swing as me and im getting a fitting soon as my pro gets the projector fixed at his studio
Great fitter is Ryan, fitted me for my Miura irons!
Pretty pointless video gaz.
Just replaced my Ping G430 Max with the 440k , definatly an improvement on the 430max !!
Keep the ping mate , you keep going back to it for a reason . That's why the pro's won't change unless they have to
The amount of close up shots where we couldn’t see the swing, ball direction on the screen etc made the whole video a bit weird.
I'm with you – hitting driver indoors feels claustrophobic, like you're going to hit the wall or ceiling with your club even if there's no chance of it happening. You end up swinging a bit restricted.
I do feel like there is a gap in the market for golf pros who do lessons in simulators and can fit clubs, but don't work for a specific brand. I got fitted for my QI35 by the pro I use for lessons, and it was great because he knew my swing and I felt totally comfortable in the fitting (familiar studio, familiar fitter, etc).
However, there is just that little voice in the back of my head that I only tried the 3 QI35 heads, along with a variety of shafts because he's associated with Taylor Made. If he had access to more options, I might have walked away with a better product even though I am happy with my driver.
Long story short – I get why you (and others in the comments) have the issue with getting fitted and you feeling it's not your actual swing.
Sam's new place will be open soon, and then you can replace the ping 😏
The GT2 is amazing
Driver is so hard in the SIM mate and you get tired then you try harder swing goes off I find myself chasing numbers and data 🤯🤯🤯
New Titleist coming out soon save it for that 😊
