Whoah, the video bar is timestamped. Is that brand new for TH-cam or just new for this channel? Good video topic by the way, my 200-yard wide driver dispersion is the product of a 'mild' two-way miss.
I own the Ping G SFT and, let me tell you, bad swings can still produce a severe slice. That said, I don't slice nearly as much a I used to. I attribute that to the club as much as to my deliberate attempts to practice and improve my swing. Great video!
Old comment....but I'm hearing you!! lol I can go in there and put a swing on whatever Ian can conjure up and I can guarantee you I can miss it way left (slice for me).
Great video but why is there so much difference between models? I play an M2 2017 d spec set upright and still slice the crap out of it, in my specs I may add. 65g tenasi blue shaft with midsize grip. Because that was the case I bought a Cleveland launcher stiff Cleveland gold shaft midsize grip and it’s either straight or if I get it wrong the miss is always left. What is causing this? Any ideas? Anyone? Please?
@@metsman1983 Pretty sure he means there's alot of lefties up here in Canada. Not sure if there's a study on this or not but I'm pretty sure it's because most of us learn to play hockey first, which usually feels more natural playing from the left if you're right handed. Might be completely out to lunch on this though lol
Great video. I suffer from the high right pushes with a touch of a slice the odd time. If I can tweak my G410 plus set up by shifting the weight to the toe it would probably help. Given there is no upright option, only flat, would lowering the loft help counteract the high ball flight or would it leave the driver open and undo the weight movement from neutral to toe?
If I could subscribe 22k more times, I would. More golfers need to find this channel. The amount of people watching golf channel's programming, who would prefer this... It's gotta be north of a million. If they only knew what they were missing.
The Limited Addition TXG 9 Degree Ping SFT with the Ping Tour Shaft - numbered 1-500. Group buy - $500 Canadian. Don't laugh, you could easily make this happen.
Mark Crossfield says that slice/hook corrections work during a fit but after a couple weeks players usually go back to their old habits despite the fitted club. What are your guys thoughts on this?
I can't get enough of this channel. I've even gone for my first ever club fitting today! The results were very interesting, as it turns out I thought I had a loft problem with a really high ball flight, but it was really a spin issue. The G410 and the Maverick both performed basically identical to my old TM Burner Superfast 2.0, at least in my hands. But as soon as I hit the Sim MAX the spin was half and I gained 40 yds... The downside was it came with a 30 yard draw that I could just not seem to do anything about. After watching so much of this channel, I had some ideas but the fitter didn't seem to want to try and dial it out... I guess the moral of the story here is it seems like a waste of money to go to anywhere but TXG at this point. When are you opening a location in western Canada?! haha
Hello Ping my old friend, I’ve come back to you again. With visions of 300 yard drives still a creeping, and the vision of thundering drives implanted in my brain still remains, was the sound of ......
Adjustable drivers are awesome for people who have very consistent dynamic loft and face to path deliveries. For us mere mortals, all those adjustments are useless, when we are delivering the loft and path all over the place. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Ian, you are so good at explaining flight characteristics, you must have been born with a golf club in you hand 😁 I would really like to meet you and Matt in person one day, both of you are amazing.
Awesome content. thank you so much guys. I recently bought a TaylorMade M6 driver and I was having trouble squaring the face (slice) on my fast swings. Adjusted the Loft up by 1 (+0.75 deg loft) Wich closes the face 1.5 deg. and this has definitely fixed that problem. Not only hitting more more Fairways now but so much confidence when setting up to hit a drive. I enjoy all your videos. Keep it up!
Great vid boys. Sometimes having the confidence in your club is gunna behave how you need it gives you the leeway to aim further left/right and really start shedding those nerves off the tee and play better golf!
Late to this vid...but you're definitely right. Gold is so much about confidence to commit to a swing, and a line. If you lose the confidence you swing can go off the rails quickly.
It's official...you are now my favorite TH-cam golf channel. I follow about 20 different sites and there is a way to tell your favorite, even if you aren't trying. It is always the channel you save for last. You start with the channels you like, but the topic isn't necessarily of interest. The ones you save for last are the mainstays (you guys, Etches, Robinson, Crossfield, Shiels, Finch, et. al.). The very last one is one of the mainstays BUT the topic is also very interesting. You guys have won that battle for 2 solid weeks. That is tough to do. Keep it up!
As a high speed player swinging at around 121 and have a miss to the right as a right handed player I would love an option for a club the has stability in the shaft to control the dynamic loft and maintain lowish spin and not leave the face open at impact, it’s my biggest issue and playing tournaments with OB on the right is absolute fear, every “players” driver is anti left and that’s all I hear from everyone that’s what they want, I’d love to see the ball turn over, straighten up a flight that over draws for me is so easy, getting a straighter flight once I’ve seen one start right and fade is an impossibility, especially under the gun in tournament play
Average at best ...lots of tour pros who draw the ball have there settings on a draw .... and use a right handed golfer which compromises 98% of Golf population !
I am doing a driver fitting at Club Champion (I know it's your competitor, but you are nowhere near me) but this video really encapsulates my problems with my driver. More often than not I have a shape that goes right, sometimes it is a fade, but it also sometimes is a slice. If I could just force it to a draw bias this may solve my issues. Are you able to do this with a lot of different clubs or only the Ping? I think the TS driver series has the capacity to dial in settings like the Ping. Unfortunately, the Ping just doesn't suit my eye.
Make sure you try Mavrik Max. But keep in mind that if your swing path is hard out to in, the best you're ever going to do is turn your slice into a straight pull.
Great job guys! I used to have a 2 way miss with occasionally bad hooks. Ian fit me into G410 LST last fall with the weight in toe and slightly open. Now I'm seeing the ball fall with a nice little fade almost every time...but more importantly I can don't have to worry about missing both ways! Thanks!
how much would he charge to get fitted?? he seems so knowledgeable with this i would luv to get fitted with a ping driver i currently have like a 10 yr old cleveland launcher!!! im thinking a new driver would be way more forgiving n maybe some extra yrds!!!!
I was having a lot of consistency issues with the Driver. I put my M3 into the Anti-Left setting you guys talked about here, and found more fairways than I had all year! Keep up the great work guys!
Such a stupid title. You expect me to believe that you've figured out how to not hook or slice the driver when I see the best golfers in the world doing it every weekend?
Incredibly insightful and love the way the video bar is not split into sections. Matt's swing is swing goals, better and better as we go along. Love you content! Keep up the quality!
Just wanted to say that your guys’ content is nearly unmatched! Subscribed two days ago and have been binging video after video. Recently got the golf bug again after playing on Memorial Day and this channel is just great. Keep the content comin!
These videos would be so much better with golfers who actually struggle with these ball flights. Matt is too damn good and he isn't giving me any confidence in these configurations being applicable to a normal hacker like myself
Since there is 3 spaces available for weights, has anyone attempted buying extra weights to insert into each slot, essentially adding more mass (and power) to the club head? Genuinely interested if there could be a benefit, but i'm bad at science LOL.
More specifically, i want to help avoid sending my ball towards the slice side, and help get the the ball up and in the air, would there be any logic to setting weights in the neutral AND draw setting? Thanks.
Hi TXG james from kent Uk here , I’m left handed and have a g410 and slice the ball left what would be a safe best setting from my . Please help cheers .
I’m sorry. I’m new to golf and this is confusing. Trying to fix a slice I just bought the 410plus. Think the slice got worse. Made adjustments up to 11.5 loft and set to draw helped a little bit. Did I buy the wrong one? Should I off bought the SFT?
Problem for a hacker like me is my swing changes too much from shot to shot. Left hook, try to adjust, then slice..are you saying this will help me create a one side miss? I have a draw biased driver now but I still have a 2 way miss.
I just took my G410 SFT out on her maiden voyage for 9 holes. I only had 2 nice drives down the pipe. The rest went right, I’m a southpaw. What setting does the guy driving left handed have hosel set at?
I have the same driver a PING G410 plus. If I try to smash it hard it the ball swings to the right. Any suggestions on weight settings? Or my swing isn’t up to scratch. From Melbourne Australia.
Love this vid!! I know the answer is always ‘get fitted’ but considering Covid & the fact that I just want a g410 driver…… Slow swing speed with fade/slice but working on my game and worried about getting stuck with SFT, potentially at 12’. Could it work to go 9’ G410 Plus, in draw setting lofted up to 10.5 to help face till my swing is sorted. Then I have option to take away draw bias down the track?
Was hitting my R11 great. New toy-410 plus. Hit it good but 5 grams heavier than R11. I remove the draw/fade weight. Gives me more speed. But gets into my head that its compromising my swing/intention of the club (hit it good but still getting to know her). Thoughts? Love the channel. Thanks
Shouldn’t a closed face lower the loft?? Why does it effectively make the 10.5 a 12 degree when the face was closed all the way for the anti slice? I thought opening the face would higher the loft
Oh wow is this possibly why I am now slicing my driver? I used to have a draw with my driver but changed from standard loft on my m3 to lower and the lie angle changed too. Now I am slicing the litttle fecker like you wouldn’t believe.
Have the G410 myself. Bad shot is a slinging draw, assisted by the toe. Have experimented with different positions, but everytime I throw the weight in the toe, the ball just flies STRAIGHT right😂 could probably do with a lighter weight in the toe
Guys, With the Fade biased driver (G410LST), did you use any custom config or did you just adjust to extent the club allowed you to? How flat was the lie angle? Is ‘open’ a setting on the driver? TY for all the great videos.
While I appreciate the adjustability of modern drivers, isn’t all of that adjustability just hiding (and promoting) an otherwise bad swing habit? It seems like it would be better to correct a bad swing rather than try to adjust it out of your game. It would get more complicated (in my opinion) when you move from said driver to a different club in your bag that isn’t adjustable as now you’re left wondering if the problem is the club or your swing. Thanks for all of the advice; I found the channel during quarantine and promptly subscribed. On to 100K!
Finally upgraded my TaylorMade R7 SuperQuad to the Ping G410. I’ve noticed I’ve been slicing the G410 more consistently and more right. After talking to a fitter he recommended a Ping Tour stiff flex shaft rather than the Alta CB 55s shaft. So now I’m waiting on a new shaft to be delivered. And I’ll see what happens next.
Ive thought for a while, for example, a ping lst 9 degree set to fade and a 10.5 degree sft for a draw in the bag would benefit people more than a driver 3 wood setup. 45.5 inch bomber driver, 44.5 draw driver, 4 wood, 20 degree hybrid or some such bag composition.
How does the moderate swing speed player keep backspin down when using these draw influencing setups? If I understand correctly, the SFTec would tend to increase backspin all the while many reviewers indicate slower swing speed (90-93) players can benefit greatly from a low spin driver head.
Swing path -7.2 out to in . Gaming g410plus in draw setting 9 degree lofted down to 8 was the fitting spec . Club speed 105 Face angle -2.0 Face to path 4 Angle of attack 0.5 up Ball speed 155 Would you recommend lofting up to max 10.5 and closing the face to avoid the high right miss ?? Asking for a friend 😂😂 Great content as always gents 👍🏼
I have a friend who hits a big fade. Plays an old driver with a really light 55g soft shaft. Because of the shape he aims left. I talked him into trying my driver G400 LST -1 deg so open in a 75g X flex. But told him to aim it straight and swing right. Ball went down the middle with a baby draw. Everything you say in this video is spot on but people are there own worst enemy they slice so they aim left (righty’s) set the face open to path and shock it slices. So they aim further left. BTW love the vids keep it up good luck on 100K
By the numbers it really seems to be the Lie Angle that dictates everything. Isn't there a trick by changing the sleeve of your RH driver to the sleeve of a LH driver and the lie angle changes???
Would you guys say that the 2016 m2 is a fade bias driver?. My miss is a hook and that driver for whatever reason seems to eliminate that completely. But I have no idea why... any ideas why?
How would this work for a right handed golfer who slices far right, could the Ping driver help me out cause this is exactly what I do with my driver and I would love to be in the fairway with a 200 plus bomb
Absolutely agreem G410 is the one club I always go to when customers needs to have one side of the course taken away. Also, I'm one of those hook guys myself. Been playing an 2016 M2 HL @10 degrees with an Oban Kiyoshi White 1" short. That beauty stops my hooks all day.
Got a sldr s moved the slider all way too draw and gave it a bash and works a treat alot straighter and some big carry numbers too. Could you guys test this using the stealth plus? Using the slider. Similar club to sldr.
Very impressed, I suspect 10.5 is the absolute max loft I would want. Could you get this for a 4w or 5w (currently I play Epic 5w delofted to 17 degrees so effectively a 4w). I suffer from the "over fade" with both driver and fairway wood
Whoah, the video bar is timestamped. Is that brand new for TH-cam or just new for this channel? Good video topic by the way, my 200-yard wide driver dispersion is the product of a 'mild' two-way miss.
it's about time they implemented that. I wish everyone used it.

As a lefty whose drives go straight for about 100 feet then turn left this is very interesting. Great job guys!
I'd love to hit that anti Slice driver, cause eliminating a push fade would be great. Just aim down the right and watch it come home... #DriverGoals
Great video. I suffer from the high right pushes with a touch of a slice the odd time. If I can tweak my G410 plus set up by shifting the weight to the toe it would probably help.

I like to call my drive a “power fade”
Hey I was with you. Now I have the power draw into the fairway beside the one I'm hitting.
I've always referred to my drive as a "manly fade"

Best golf channel, period.
Nothing even close
I’ve found some better ones but this one is really good!
Quetion: With the SFT in closed setting, did Matt just ground the club and swing or did he first adjust his grip to square the face before swinging
Could you see similar results for the fade setting with 410 Plus? Great video !
Great Video, should have tweaked the LST to see how close you can get it to the SFT though.
Follow up video perhaps?
I switched from my LST Ping G410 to Callaway Mavrik, amazing driver.
Such a weird video. Pings 410 is supposed to adjust loft not open and close the face.
U guys rock 2.0m+ sub channel! #JustHoldOnBoys!

Lefty??? Hard to keep all this understandable...
Great video but I found it difficult to convert the findings from left to right handed.
Now that the range is finally open again I will definitely be tinkering with my driver. I could not stop the slice last weekend.
no low spin 9 deg sft option is why i just bought a cally b21.....

I'd love to get a 9° no fade G410. Perfect driver for me.
When i put the driver to upright i hit straight pulls 😞😞
This makes me want to build a fade biased driver now, as someone that hates to see the left miss
Why not use a mid to high handicapper to do this test. Guy
Would be better if demoed by a rightee not dissin lefties either
You guys need someone to slice that driver?
How would this work with a out to in club path swing??
Another great video guys.

How close of a anti slice setup can i make on a G425 MAX to best mimic a G410 SFT
A good way towards it, probably 70%.
No club can fix a bad slice swing
8:21 Kenny Perry's fit session
I've always thought Titleist drivers have amazing hosel adjustability, and even the TSR3 has movable weights now too. Still think PING takes the cake.

After talking to a fitter he recommended a Ping Tour stiff flex shaft rather than the Alta CB 55s shaft. So now I’m waiting on a new shaft to be delivered. And I’ll see what happens next.
Ive thought for a while, for example, a ping lst 9 degree set to fade and a 10.5 degree sft for a draw in the bag would benefit people more than a driver 3 wood setup. 45.5 inch bomber driver, 44.5 draw driver, 4 wood, 20 degree hybrid or some such bag composition.
How does the moderate swing speed player keep backspin down when using these draw influencing setups? If I understand correctly, the SFTec would tend to increase backspin all the while many reviewers indicate slower swing speed (90-93) players can benefit greatly from a low spin driver head.
Swing path -7.2 out to in . Gaming g410plus in draw setting 9 degree lofted down to 8 was the fitting spec .
Club speed 105
Face angle -2.0
Face to path 4
Angle of attack 0.5 up
Ball speed 155
Would you recommend lofting up to max 10.5 and closing the face to avoid the high right miss ?? Asking for a friend 😂😂
Great content as always gents 👍🏼
I have a friend who hits a big fade. Plays an old driver with a really light 55g soft shaft. Because of the shape he aims left. I talked him into trying my driver G400 LST -1 deg so open in a 75g X flex. But told him to aim it straight and swing right. Ball went down the middle with a baby draw. Everything you say in this video is spot on but people are there own worst enemy they slice so they aim left (righty’s) set the face open to path and shock it slices. So they aim further left. BTW love the vids keep it up good luck on 100K
By the numbers it really seems to be the Lie Angle that dictates everything. Isn't there a trick by changing the sleeve of your RH driver to the sleeve of a LH driver and the lie angle changes???
Would you guys say that the 2016 m2 is a fade bias driver?. My miss is a hook and that driver for whatever reason seems to eliminate that completely. But I have no idea why... any ideas why?
How would this work for a right handed golfer who slices far right, could the Ping driver help me out cause this is exactly what I do with my driver and I would love to be in the fairway with a 200 plus bomb
Wait, so closing the face actually increased the loft from 10.5 to 12 or did I misunderstood Ian?
Absolutely agreem G410 is the one club I always go to when customers needs to have one side of the course taken away. Also, I'm one of those hook guys myself. Been playing an 2016 M2 HL @10 degrees with an Oban Kiyoshi White 1" short. That beauty stops my hooks all day.
Got a sldr s moved the slider all way too draw and gave it a bash and works a treat alot straighter and some big carry numbers too. Could you guys test this using the stealth plus? Using the slider. Similar club to sldr.
Very impressed, I suspect 10.5 is the absolute max loft I would want. Could you get this for a 4w or 5w (currently I play Epic 5w delofted to 17 degrees so effectively a 4w). I suffer from the "over fade" with both driver and fairway wood
