I've been looking for a Ping G10 driver for a few weeks now, I have the chance to purchase one for a great price and in the stock shaft in stiff. The only thing I'm worried about is the loft, 7.5*!! For those who have experience with the driver, How is the trajectory? Especially in a 7.5, thanks.

I went to a fitting night and tried the G10 (7.5) and the I15 (8* I think) No problems with either. G10 has quite a high flight. Good driver...

my personal experience with ping driver heads is that the vast majority of heads play with higher loft than that on the sole. so a 9 may be a10.5, or a 7.5 may be more like 9... so i wouldnt be too worried..if you get it and cant play it, shoot me a pm...

Besides, 7.5 is pretty bad ass ;)

I would pass if I was you. A higher lofted driver will be easier for you to control. You could then bring the flight down with a low launching shaft.

I've heard the same thing on ping drivers. For what it's worth, I believe Bubba Watson plays a 6.7 degree g15, although he has an upward angle of attack of 5 degrees too.

I play a G10 9* with a UST mid launch shaft that has the ball flight of any other 10.5* that I have ever hit. With the same shaft and launch point, it stands to reason that a 7.5* should give you the same ball flight as a 9* with the same shaft specs.

That would explain why I hit my 10.5 degree G10 higher than my 15 degree 3-wood - a lot higher!!

I hit an 8* i15 because the 9.5* launched too high...and the i15 head and Axivcore Red shaft are definitely geared as low launch heads. I agree the Ping lofts their clubheads more then what is specified.

I had a 7.5° G10 and hit the ball much higher with it than I do my 8.5° TaylorMade Tour Burner. It is a good driver though.

i had to switch out my shaft to a Prolaunch red, high kick point, stiff shaft to get my flight down low. The G10 definitely launches high. I'd go with the 7.5*.

    • That was a good watch. When I started working on pelvis in the backswing. I thought, this sounds contradictory to those leg straightening threads on the site. Erik has already done a correction. Then the last lesson we went more down the route of feeling the right knee gains flex. It doesn’t, but the feeling keeps my knee position in a good range. Also, I just realized how much extra work my right hip needed to do to stabilize the body with the proper weight shift. Those glute and hip stabilizers got worked. 🤣 I wish this evolution in the golf instruction happened 20 years ago! 😭
    • I've been Playing Golf for: 40 yrs My current handicap index or average score is: 4.0 factor My typical ball flight is: Straight however sometimes slight draw. The shot I hate or the "miss" I'm trying to reduce/eliminate is: squirt to the right due to to much arm not enough turn.

    • The first issue Erik spoke about is something we worked on for my swing during both GEARS sessions. GEARS was showing my pelvis center moving towards the ball during the back swing. I wasn’t the 4” guy though! This forced me to correct on the downswing to give myself space. My hip rotation was to high as well. We corrected it by first getting the weight off my heels in my stance and getting my posture correct. Then the feel was shifting back into my right hip at a 45 degree angle. This kept my pelvis center from moving towards the ball at the start of the backswing. I also didn’t sway back as much as I felt I did because of the angle I was shifting. Feel Ain’t Real. The cool thing about GEARS is as you work on something you can see the exact (Real) change happening. On video, it is much harder to spot this issue because of the 2D nature of filming. But I know what to look for now. Sadly, I was hurt all last year and most of this year so I really haven’t been able to work on it much. I did do a lot of backswing work though.
