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.

      I have an update… I don't have much of a response, because the fact that they would ADD the numbers for the lead and trail shoulder together… I mean, wow. I was giving them too much credit. Nobody would think to assume they were doing THAT. That's beyond comical. One of the biomechanists I talked to put it this way: "So if I squatted down and went from 180 to 90 deg knee angle, then I would say 180 deg range of motion because I have two knees?" I'd type more (maybe), but honestly, I'm laughing a bit too hard. 🤣 Update: Mini Manavian blocked me on Instagram, so I cannot see his post showing Bryson with about 50° of range of motion (with a driver) from P4 to P7, and 75° only if you go out to the mid-follow-through. What a terrible loss for me. 😉

      Thanks, interesting to read. The swing is definitely very timing dependent. I hit it consistently I guess but consistently bad.

      I've shot 91-74 on the same day before. Couple of years ago played a two round tournament on Bethpage Black. I shot 72 in the first round and 90 in the second. First round I played very well. Second round I played okay, but had about 5 shots that hit the lips of bunkers and bounced down into them. A couple of those wound up in footprints - I was unamused - and I failed to get them out. Anyway - lots of bunkers and my bunker play isn't great and then add a couple of footprints and me getting pretty tired and it added up to a lot.  Only you can really tell though what's causing the variance. It might be that your swing is very timing dependent and when it's timed well you play well and when it's not then it goes all over the place. In that case, some lessons and working on your swing could be the key. If it's more that you tend to feel like you hit it fairly consistently, but you have days where the shots come off and days where they don't, then that's more likely a course management issue. If that's what you need to work on, then you could read Lowest Score Wins and build a plan of attack based on that.  Rest assured though that a pretty big range from high to low is fairly common. Even PGA Tour players often have 18-20 shot spreads from best to worst rounds in a season. It's a common affliction among golfers.
