I've got the g20. Best driver I've had for so long it's not funny.

Totally agree, having said that I will be going straight into a G25

Love the high launch

Used the Anser with Kuro Kage Black 60s yesterday.
Liked it, but didn't love it.
Could have been the setting I had it on (-)
I'll kick it back to neutral for this weekend....

Half a degree wouldn't make a huge difference to ball flight would it? More of a subtle tweak I thought?

Could amount to 15m or more in distance depending on swingspeed etc.

Its not the flight im worried about....its the way the face looks/sits at address.

Bring it to Stone Cutters mate, the fairways are very generous so a good place to test drivers.....regardless of how early in the morning it is....:D

I had the same problem with the Anser driver. It always seemed like the face was open at address. I used it for two rounds. The first round with the stock Ping shaft was great. The second round with a PX6.0 was nothing but balloon balls.

I've always scoffed at "draw biased" drivers but recently stuck a fubuki alpha x in a k15 9.5 and WOW. Long high baby draws even when I really jump at it. It seems like cheating... And I can hit a cut with it too if need be. Anyone else tried the k15? It's really hard to miss the fairway......

well my Ping doesnt work..... whenever i hit it 9 out of 10 shots is a slice. I am convinced its the club and not me................ or is that just wishful thinking?

in all seriousness, pretty sure i have a G25 not sure on the degree, when I hit it right and nice it feels alright, I don't get much distance out of it but I am still a beginner. I can out drive my best Ping shots with my Callaway 3 wood, which I am told isnt out of the ordinary for a beginner, is that true?

I was considering trying to get the head adjusted for slice but not sure if I should, as I go to lessons and can hit the ball straight at times (just not often). Also annoys me that I can hit the 3 wood straightish 90% of the time as well as my recovery

When I demoed the K15 I thought the same - this is like cheating! But I couldn't get my hands on a stiff shafted version so ended up with something else that I hit better than the G20 at the time. I always wonder "what if" though.....if I had more disposable income I'd buy one off ebay but alas I do not

I currently game the K15 and have done for quite a while now. I am in no hurry to replace it either as its the most consistent driver I have hit (can still have a bad day with iot though).
