In our forums, our members have been going in-depth on the subject of drivers and driver shafts. WRXer ‘Bushwood Country Club’ kicks off the discussion with his current weapon of choice: “Ping G410 LST, 10.5 Degree, Mitsubishi Tensei Pro Orange, 60G”, and WRXers in the 5 to 10 handicap bracket have been sharing their perfect pairing in response.
Here are a few posts from the thread, but make sure to check out the entire discussion and have your say at the link below.
- Flyers99: “I haven’t found anything to beat my PING G400 with Veylix Arcane shaft.”
- scooterhd2: “Ping G410 plus, 9 degrees turned to 10. Tensei Pro Orange 60S. Has been an absolute fairway finder for me. Really feel confident on the tee box for the first time. Feel like I can pick what side of the fairway I want to be to on to set up the approach versus just aiming down the middle and hoping things go okay.”
- craz-e: “I would probably say I am roughly a 5 now after a few bad rounds. Currently playing SIM with the Hzrdus smoke green.”
- Haber: “7.3 playing a 10.5 sim max with a AD GP 6S. Waiting on a 6X to arrive as well for some testing but liking the flight I am getting with this set up now.”
- JakeW13: “Driver: Ping G410+, 9 Degrees Flat setting, Weight in Toe. Shaft: Accra TZ5 65 M5. This driver has been absolute money for me. I play with one of the better golfers in the state of Massachusetts, and he swings the club about 3-5mph faster than me, but I have consistently outdriven him due to how optimal this Ping driver has been for me. I’m sitting around 111-114 swing speed, average spin rate around 2,200 and am averaging a 290 carry. Just bought a Ventus Black 6x with TM tip, so I’m going to try testing a SIM setup. I’d like to configure SIM to be a default fade shot shape because I’d love to eliminate the left side of the course. I’m thinking 10.5* tuned down to 8.5 or 9.5, with weight in toe.”
- LHGolf4: “8.3 right now, Cobra F9 with HZRDUS Smoke 60 stiff set to 10.5 degrees.”
- jcorna01: “Currently an 8 with a new baby, usually closer to 6. PING G400 Max with the stock stiff Alta. Trackman tells me that I’m leaving yards on the table, but the amount of confidence I have with it motivates me to stay put. I’m not playing 7,000-yard courses. I might give the next PING driver a waggle.”
