@rickshiels , dang man. You ever check your old videos.. no beard, and you look so young. Lol then analytics = only 38 comments. youtubed g30 reviews and 💥 💥 Rick Shiels 1st to pop up. Great job over the years, still enjoy watching your videos. Now my daughter is golfing, well she's been golfing for a couple years but she started watching your tutorials to tighten her game up. 2 generations following!!!
Got fitted for a driver last week and hit several different ones including the Ping G30 and the Nike Vapor Speed. I've always liked to stay loyal to Nike, but I had to go with the G30 because it was simply fantastic. The Nike Vapor Speed was good, but the Ping G30 felt so much better. I hit about 20 drives and at least 15 of them would have found the fairway on a golf course. The forgiveness on mishits was excellent and every drive I hit felt like a "controlled bullet" off the club face, if that makes sense. I can't wait when I get to bag it within a week or so.
My face cracked recently and I got a loaner until I get it replaced by Ping. The loaner "sounds" a bit different, but it could be my swing wasn't on point two nights ago. We'll see tonight.
I tried the G30 at Golf Town and it felt unbelievable. I'm not sure if the simulator was right, but it said I drove the ball 299 yards. That's at least 20 yards longer than I have ever hit a ball. I'm pretty sure it must have been an error on the simulator, but I did hit it 290+ yards twice and averaged 275. Whether that is true or not, the club felt amazing. I wish I could afford this club. I highly recommend at least trying it out if you're looking for a new club.
(I'm french excuse me for my English ;-) I have Ping G25 i love Ping and I think I'll love it even more with G30. This club it is very beautiful. I still love your videos!
tried this club today vs the R15... beat the R15 by a mile in terms of carry distance and spin numbers. I was spinning less than 2000 on all my hits and carrying 230-240, which is my typical. Looks like it's a good time to replace my cobra bio cell!
Put my R11 up against the SLDR and the spin rate difference was enormous. Losing at least 15-20 yards with my R11. That said, I am begging for better accuracy and more fairways. Will compare the G30 when it comes out and whichever gives me the better accuracy will get my business.
I'm now thinking of treating myself 2 one of these. love the forgiveness & lower spin & that i can open the clubface 1° just have 2 get used 2 the turbs :)
Looks like a slick club there... Though it's too bad I can't really try them out as demos at any of the golf stores here. :| Last Ping club driver I used, could easily go over 260+ yards, and that's just the i25.
Hi Rick, could you honestly say that the stock shaft actually spin as low as you hit them. Ping must have seriously improved their stock shaft options. I would really like to know hoe their Tour 65 or 80 in stiff perform. has anyone tried it please let me know. I have a 96 to 100 mph club head speed.
Like the tests Rick.I am a 75 year old 20 handicap. I have always had driver with round about 11 degree loft.Would you recommend this in the G30 0r G25 in a senior shaft?

Not me coming back 9 years later to see if this is a good used driver to upgrade to from my RBZ. 😅😅 broke golfer problems. lol
I’m doing exactly the same and I have a rbz stage 2 haha
Anything's better than one from the early 2000's.
I’m here looking cause I have a G30 on an Oban Kiyoshi Gold local for $140 🤯
Me too!! Just picked one up!!
Why did I just do this same thing today 😂😂😂😂
Love my g30 driver. It is so forgiving and long that my friends have bought one too after seeing how i hit it.

Best driver I've ever used. IMO, much better feel, sound and performance than the the 'G."

I tried every driver there was...but the G30 was magic. I hit it at least 30+ yards farther and much straighter than any other brand.

Eagled a par 4 today with this driver. Ls model.

Can you review the Wilson Staff FG Tour F5 driver.
Like the tests Rick.I am a 75 year old 20 handicap. I have always had driver with round about 11 degree loft.Would you recommend this in the G30 0r G25 in a senior shaft?
Looks good rick. What sort of height were you getting out of it?
I hit my buddies G30 on Sunday and hit the longest drive of my life, 325 yds! Amazing driver, I wish i had the dough to swing it.
Are you going to do a G30 fairway wood review? I want to get a 3-wood.
Did they optimize your club with different shafts on the G30 or did they just go with everything stock?
rick have you a link for the g30 vs sldr cant seem to get it,great review
Did you try the g30 with the tour shaft option?
What if someone sky's it using the g30 and hits a turbulater the ball could go anywhere ? Haha great vids keep them up :)
Love the g 25 but wouldn't buy this simply because of those fins they look rubbish.
I hope they are going to give you a G30 gratis Rick? Because you've just helped to sell them a bucket load of them!! Lol.
I just got one for 100 dollars today. I’m excited to try it out. I couldn’t pass on it. Too god of a deal even though I already got a driver 😂
Nice I just found one for 200. Do you think it’s a fair price?
Found one for 40, today. 😮
How come u wrecked the driver
It seems like you are not so postitive about the G30 in your other video ua-cam.com/video/cOVYMHhF7So/v-deo.html and the results are much different?!
typical Ping product - high on performance low on esthetics.
I just bought this driver for $80
@Jeff williams yes it's a great driver I like it, was $499
