I went to the local golf store to check out the Ping G30 Ls driver after I saw a review by Rick Shiels. I tested the stock shaft that was stiff. Is a blue shaft that I don't know the name of. I really didn't hit it well at all. I switched to the upgraded shaft. The stiff 65 gram ping shaft. It transformed how I hit a drive. I did hit a majority high right but even those shots were 260 carry. This really impressed me because the spin didn't balloon up like other drivers. I don't know if it was the shaft or the club but I have never had hit the ball so long. My 3 best shots carried 280 yards and rolled out to 317.  If you get the opportunity to hit this club I would highly recommend it.

I'd never hit a Ping before yesterday, but stacked up against the Nike Speed, R15, and Big Bertha 815, the LS Tec was seriously impressive. I'm not crazy about the head shape, with that weird point at the back, but the turbulators are nice and it performs really well. I was getting very nice numbers and having an easier time squaring the face.

I traded in my G25 which I had played for the last couple years to the new LS G30 with tour 65 s shaft.The shaft is excellent for my swing speed and tempo and the lower spinning head is giving me a lot more carry and rool.So far I have only been able to hit it into a simulator but I am hoping in a few more weeks a few driving ranges should be open.

    • Day 6: lighter session today after a long day. Just some mirror work and slow swings to try to get my feels down. 
    • @Philip Belgium,  If I haven't already, Welcome to TST.  Your injury sounds serious and I hope you fully recover.   Thanks for sharing your story.  ..... each day get 1-2% better.   (A ray of sunshine and a positive outlook)
    • Day 91 (1  Aug 25) - Pre-tournament practice round today…had some great up and downs for par saves.  Rain came in this evening so it will be a totally different playing course tomorrow.  
    • Jesus, when he keeps saying scissoring moment, ugh that is a horrible sounding phrase. Just makes me cringe. It doesn't help my mind went to Mr. Garrison from South Park. 🤣 If you know you know.  I think for the most part, golf shaft companies have gotten this figured out. They ask questions like, what tempo do you swing at. The whole scissor terminology sounds like they want to stand out a bit.  Yea, golfers load the golf shaft differently, and different bend profiles can help out. I do think swing speed matters as well. You probably want a golf shaft with lower torque if you swing faster. 
    • Played 9 holes, shot a 39.  Kind of got around. Everything between the trees, so in play. Short game was rusty. Got to get back on that. Greens were stupidly slow because they got a lot of rain yesterday and probably couldn't cut them down. Usually in the summer they are firm and pretty fast for how sloped they are. Got to work on face to path a bit.
