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
3 wood: g10
Irons: I5's green dot
Putter: G5 anser

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

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Current state of the program.  I can only do 25-50% swing speed, probably under 50% since I was hitting the ball out to the 150 yard marker (yay!),  to get the arms down and somewhat turn the body through impact. I mean somewhat. Arms down + body turn don't like to mesh at all. Anything faster and the body does stupid uncoordinated stuff. Mostly, I am stuck in the old pattern of staling the turn and flipping at the ball.  So, until I see progress. I am not posting anything here.

      Thanks for the video! Do you think a ball between the arms type of training aid would get me in a better position? I also have a Tour Striker Swing Trainer (PlaneMate-like contraption) if that could be helpful.

      There are some little things here and there — the shoulder turn is a bit flat, and the arms move around you a bit too much too. Take a look at this video:

      Ugly elbow in question

      My Swing (Gestate0560)

      By gestate0560 · Posted

      I've developed a serious case of the shanks and difficult to control push fades/slices with my irons lately. I used to draw my irons pretty consistently. I currently most draw driver. Also, I don't like how my elbow sometimes pops out from down the line, especially with driver and/or if I'm trying to hit it harder. I can control the elbow a lot better with irons, but quite difficult to have good contact and speed while controling it on driver.
