Ping G25 Driver

You guys are all experienced golfers, can I ask what you think of someone very new to golf getting the G25 driver? I tried it the other day and liked it very much, but I was thinking that at my level of play I prob won't benefit much from getting such a good driver.. opinions please?

Haha! I see that this is quite a common feeling! Was just thinking that $500 on the G25 when I see Golf Direct selling the TM RBZ for $199  

Give yourself time to try other drivers. No need to hurry. Look around and you may come across a good deal.

G25 is a good club, and if you decided to get 'rid' later sure plenty of takers, RBZ i'm not so sure got takers

Any clubs you can hit is good, I tried someone RBZ with a nice shaft that day after that I don't wanna return him....     

I'm beginning to think that it's the shaft which makes the most difference.

Not only shaft, the shaft must be blessed by you know who.....  

After being beaten to a pulp by this thing, I was finally able to fall asleep without the nightmares. 
Now someone dredges up this thread again.
Bad Dreams, bad bad dreams.
And just when I thought it was safe to go back to the course.

Thanks for the replies.. After trying a couple of drivers, from a cheapo Wilson, to Nike VRS Covert to my father in law's TM R540 and the G25, I think I'm still in love with the G25

Then go for it. Just make sure you get the same shaft that you tried. Enjoy!

Simple solution, just buy that demo club. Maybe they sell cheaper too.  

Haha.. it belonged to my friend... stock shaft I believe

If you don't mind the loud ping noise and the big head... there's little else to dislike

Oh....then buy from your friend or T-loan. Because I'm sure many of the bros here also encountered before, whenever used friends clubs always feel good but once buy liao....the old problem come back.

Ha. Friend just got it don't think wants to sell. Plus it's my friends hubby so a bit hard to T loan. Guess I'll just have to take a chance and buy. I don't have a driver anyway so will be my first

The sound solid ah?is it like those breaking glass type?

my personal opinion..PING has the best drivers in the market. I like the sound and the flight of the ball..best thing is the stock shaft is solid...no need to change to aftermarket. But to each his own

I recently bought a Matrix 6m3 Black Tie from a bro here and used it on my trusty Razr Fit head.

WOW!!! Hands down the best combo!

The manufacturer's brief on this shaft stated that it was for hard hitters who want to go at it.  Low spin and low launching.

Guess what, I swing smooth, I need help with launching my tee offs. 

So in theory, this shaft shouldn't even be in my hands.  However, the results were totally unexpected.  I have a piercing drive and it muted my misses significantly! Increase in distance, easily 20m.  

My take on shafts, screw reviews.
Keep an open mind, try out shafts of all price ranges, flexes, and manufacturers. Find one that makes you go ,"WOW!!!!"

like denmeister. I tried shafts and shafts and then some more.  finally I stuck a 3 wood fujikurs rombax into a head that used to launch too high for me. so guess what. I have a 43 inch driver!  

AND I didnt lose any distance!  

i say try em all. have fun

Now that I got my driver settled, now looking for a 75g shaft to make my 3w play like hara's mini driver!

Anyone has a 75g 3w shaft for my r11?

Wow bro 75g heavy leh

Not really, the stock shaft was 70g to begin with. I put in an aftermarket YSQ shaft but it was too light.  Keep on topping and I am very handsy with it.  A heavier shaft will force you to utilize your bigger muscles to generate the speed and it is more stable. 

If you are handsy with a heavy shaft, you will get tired fast.
