Ping G5 Driver

[Kieran123]

Hi guys,

I have an opportunity to pick up a Ping G5 Stiff shaft 9.5 degree for $100, hardly used. Is this a good deal/? Seems it to me?

Any thoughts?

Definitely a good deal if in new condition. My local shops have them new on clearance for $100-$150 but theyre all off set :(

have you tried it out, could give a very low flight

I have the 5 wood, and I love it. It's my go to club. I'm assuming the driver hits just as well.

BTW, I noticed you're from Calgary too. Some spring snow storm, eh? So much for golfing this weekend....

I've had that driver for 3 or 4 years now and it is sweet. But I don't think it's 9.5, I don't think they made that loft. Anyway, my review of the driver is that it's really long, the ball flight is higher than the loft suggests, but it's not quite as easy to control as the newest drivers. If you mess your swing up and cut across the ball, this driver will give you a full blown slice, whereas the newest drivers might only give you a smaller fade (same goes for hooks, too). I guess you could take it as a positive and call the driver "workable in both directions". Anyway, I love mine.

I know. It pisses me off. I have golf booked Saturday, but I doubt its gonna melt down 20cm by then

Thanks for the info lax, I may ask the seller and see if I can't swing it first. And you're right its 9 degree :D
