We didn't do direct testing against the Max that day, so I don't want to say it would be faster or slower (that can also be player dependent). However, with the crown/overall head composition, it is more of a combination between the Max and the LST. Also, in fittings, we have seen spin rates of 10k average a bit lower than what the normal Max head produces.
So, aside from the sliding weight and slightly smaller footprint, why would someone choose the MAX over the MAX 10K? It seems more forgiving and potentially longer.@@MilesOfGolf
The sliding weight could be the difference for a player if they need to change CG. However, we have definitely seen 10k be very popular because of both its forgiveness and speed. It's an amazing driver.
Can you talk about the sound a bit more. I've been reading a ton of negative reports, even from folks who say they were never really concerned with sound, but this 10k is a whole new level of bad. Thanks for your opinion in this regard.
When it comes to sound, what one person likes to hear can be different than another. G425 was a driver where people would make comments that they didn't like the sound, however, there were multiple times in fittings where customers made a note that they love the sound. When it comes to the G430 line, when talking with golfers who have tried Ping drivers in the past, they have noted that they believe that the sound has improved from previous generations. -Luke
So if a golfer now has the 430 LST (10.5) but has a slice (I know it's in my swing path), would switching to the 10K produce straighter drives and more or less distance? In other words, should I "Upgrade"?
Had the LST and my miss was way right (out of bounds right) with the fade bias of it and would have the occasional knuckleball that would fall out of the air. I've only had the Max 10K for one round but for me, my flight straightened out and my spin was very consistent. I kept every drive in play. It sounds a lot worse than the LST but I don't care about that.
Here at Miles, we are always very hesitant to say that a club will produce a certain result before you test it out. Theoretically, the CG placement on the 10k, compared to the LST, should help out with a miss to the right. However, every golfer is different and that's why we always suggest getting a fitting before making any upgrades.
@@mjmayle1I was fitted for the 10.5LST as my numbers were far too high with spin, the only way I know I can get the club going in the direction I intended is a very strong grip with my left hand. I have even lofted it up to 11.5 with 17g weight in draw setting. Personally I love the driver when hit how it’s designed to be, my drop off when not is too much. I will be looking at the 10k very soon
Wouldn't the 10K sit in between the MAX and SFT? Or were ball speeds with the 10k faster than the MAX due to the carbon?

Why would you get a fade bias driver if you have a slice? Bizarre
Why not SFT?
Maybe a little less loft on the 10k as compared to the lst?
