Hey guys. Has anyone compared these two fairway woods? I was back and Golfsmith again yesterday hitting balls on the launch monitor and they both felt pretty good, but I was just wondering what everyone else thought?

I am a 6.9 index with a driver swing speed of around 95 mph. I was thinking I would get the X fairway wood to match the driver (I know, no logical reason for that), but I hit a few shots with the G10 and it felt pretty good as well.

I like a heavier feeling club (the Hyper X is a D5), and the X fairway wood is a D2 (as opposed to the G10, which is a D1). I would most likely get regular flex in either club.

Let me know what you think.

I was in your same spot about a month ago. I had a callaway x 3wood. I loved it off the tee but I could never get it off the deck. So I was going to florida earlier this month for a golf trip, and went and tried the g10 3 wood, so I bought it with the pro launch red shaft, and it was significantly better than my callaway. So I am very happy with the Ping.

I know when I posted the same question a while back others stated they could not hit the callaway off the deck either.

Not sure if my post helps you at all, other than a vote for the ping

Driver: G10 10.5 v2 shaft

That helps a lot. Just curious, was your X the 2007 version or the 2008 version? Also, was it the X hot? I've heard the X Hot is tough to hit off the fairway because it's too big. Also, the new X (the 2008 model) is supposed to be a nice improvement over last year's version.

Mine was not the X hot, just the x version. I got mine just as the x hot's where coming out last year, so I am not sure if it was an 06 or 07 to be honest. But it was the model that was just before the x hot

      This is an awesome breakdown. most of the bigger tournaments usually have one wave with the advantage, Thank you for the breakdown. If it is soft then it will be a lower final score

      The Players -2026

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Over the past 15 years, the winning score has ranged from -10 to -20. Mostly around -13.  Here is Thursday and Friday weather. Saturday and Sunday weather. I think the course will play soft. Plenty of sky cover, lots of rain on Thursday. Fairways and greens will probably stay soft throughout the week.  In terms of tee times, I think Thursday morning and Friday afternoon have the biggest advantage. I bolded the big group of each set.  Most beneficial with the weather Round 1: No. 1 tee, Round 2: No. 10 tee 7:40 a.m., 12:30 p.m.: Mark Hubbard, Thorbjørn Olesen, Mac Meissner 7:52 a.m., 12:42 p.m.: Bud Cauley, Vince Whaley, Chandler Phillips 8:04 a.m., 12:54 p.m.: Emiliano Grillo, Christiaan Bezuidenhout, Max Greyserman 8:16 a.m., 1:06 p.m.: Kevin Yu, Cam Davis, Gary Woodland 8:28 a.m., 1:18 p.m.: Ricky Castillo, Ryan Gerard, Patrick Cantlay 8:40 a.m., 1:30 p.m.: Adam Schenk, Garrick Higgo, Matt McCarty 8:52 a.m., 1:42 p.m.: Brian Harman, Maverick McNealy, Davis Riley 9:04 a.m., 1:54 p.m.: Sami Valimaki, Lucas Glover, Matt Fitzpatrick 9:16 a.m., 2:06 p.m.: Michael Brennan, Harris English, J.T.

      The Players -2026

      By MentalityJohn · Posted

      We have a very difficult but mostly showy course this week. Lets see what they got. This course offers so many chances to get into trouble it is really a mental minefield. I am excited to see who can handle it and who cant. Last year we got a foreshadowing of JJ and Rory, I am excited for this year Who do people have winning? what will the winning score be? I am thinking 12 or 13 under
