Summary: NO DRIVER WILL CURE A BAD SWING!!! That being said, with my shaft and loft set on a launch monitor, this one is close. Just as forgiving as any other 460cc clubhead and now with the new PING clubs out, you can get this one for a very decent price. Don't waste your money on a new G10, this driver is the same except different in color. Take the money that you would spend on a $400 driver and go get on a launch monitor and determine what you need, then pick up a nice used G5 in the loft you need and have your fitting professional change the shaft to what the launch monitor says you need. C'mon folks, use the technology and practice and you'll save money in the long run.

Summary: Best driver I've ever owned. As long as the others I've tried, but the stock PING shaft agrees with my swing. This one is very accurate. I have a lot of confidence with my driver now.

Summary: I always wanted to get a G5 and thought the 10.5 would be my answer. I hit that one quite well, but it had broken. I switched it for a 9* and after one round i knew it sucked. I traded it for a 12* and i have been hitting it quite better. Due to my slow swing speed i only average about 210 in my drive. Although short it is straight down the middle.

Summary: This driver was disappointing. I bought it with the stock shaft and replaced with an Aldila NVS. Its not very forgiving, and the head feels clunky. Visually its a beauty and well constructed. Bottom line it didnt give me great results. I have the G10 and its solid and explosive.
