With the launch of the Ping G30 the inventory of the G25 is sure to go on sale.  It is on sale right now for $299 I am sure it will be $199 shortly.

I snapped the shaft of my Ping G20 driver and did not have time to get it repaired so I picked up a Ping G25 driver, I was feeling the upgrade.  The G20 was the best driver I ever had, loved it long and forgiving.  You could have shots you knew you hit poorly and it still kept the ball in play and the distance was good.

The G25 driver for me is even better.  I now regularly hit the longest drive I have hit on holes at my home course(s), I have had the club for 5-6 rounds.  It is also very forgiving.  I got it with the Mitsubishi Rayon Diamana Ahina Stiff 70 gram shaft, 8.5 degree loft.  A good shot for me is a towering baby draw.  It goes so high it is a little surprising.  The guys I play with regularly in the beginning would say, you got under it and when it lands they were shocked.  I am pretty sure I am getting the high launch low spin that is the current trend.  I'll have to get on a monitor to check.  I definitely hit up on the ball.  With the G20 I was getting 14 degree launch angle with the G25 it has to be more.

I searched it and there is no G25 thread which surprised me.  The driver is the only Ping club in my bag but when it is time for other clubs I am going to give Ping a look, great engineering.

I just wanted to throw this out there because if you are looking for a great driver at a great price these are about to be as cheap as they are going to get.

Thanks! That's what I've been waiting for. I have a Taylormade 580. Pretty old. I'm sure the G25 will be a significant upgrade. I'm going to start saving my nickels and dimes...

    • It’s simple. Hook it onto the tee box of the adjacent hole. Get a GIR with your approach. Birdie hole. #5 Hook it to the adjacent fairway Hit green with next shot. Birdie hole. I call it the Bill Method.
    • I’ll have to pay attention more attention to the area when I’m there. I know the area to the left of the bunkers off the tee is fescue/native vegetation but I can’t remember what’s around the tee boxes. Something to consider still is that you can’t see the green from the tee. You can’t even see all three bunkers IIRC. So I could have a line on the drive but still not know where it ends up. I think I’d be a lot more comfortable going with driver if I played here more regularly and had a log in my head of where shots tend to end up like I do at the other county courses. I have never hit driver on this hole off the blue tees. I have done it from the gold, but the length and angle are different, and during casual rounds when I didn’t care that much about score. I’m not sure the best time to try it is the second hole of a tournament. Or at the very least, I’m uncomfortable with the idea and that’s probably enough reason not to do it. I see what you’re saying. Wind is supposed to be pushing out more to the right on Saturday, too. I could probably aim right at the bunker and not end up in it. I don’t think there’s anything near the green other than that tiny bunker that would give me trouble. Well, trouble in addition to my short game deficiencies that is. Yea, me too. All I’m thinking is get it in play, put it near the green, chip on and two putt for 5. I’ll have plenty of opportunities to use my length as an advantage later. You realize all of this theory crafting will be moot when I chunk it off the tee, right? 😆
