This club is great. Anyone looking to hit the ball a good deal farther should consider buying this club. I do think that before buying any club (driver,irons,putters,etc.) that you should deffinately hit it or play a round with it first. Before I bought it I was able to hit the ball about 250-260 but now i am up around 285 consistently. Not only is this distance great but the accuracy is excelent too. The ball comes off the clubface better than any other driver I've hit before and it really intimidates people when you crank one. It has a nice solid feel and some workability but do not expect to be shaping shots around doglegs with it. Overall it's a great club maybe a little expensive but it pays off with what you get.

WOW!!!! That is all that is needed to describe this club. Defentily the most forgiving driver on the market. I have been playing for one year now, and this club has made the game more enjoyable and fun. Not only is this the easiest driver that i have ever hit, but it is also the furthest. Just last year i got a Taylor Made 360 Ti... nice club, however no comparison. I would hit the taylormade 180 yards (carry)..... not to bad, but once i demoed this i couldnt resist buying it. The first day out with it i was hitting drive almost always in the fairway and carrying them 200 to 230 yds. I am only 14 years old, and not very big, once i get bigger, i have no doubt that i will be hitting this club 280 yds. Trust me if you are trying to decide on a club this is worth every penny of it. Another great feature to the club is that it has the option of lofts.... all the way from 5.5 to 11.5... i have the 11.5 and with it, i get so much help. if you have problems getting the ball in the air, you will never have dificulty agin. Great Club, i expect to hang on to it for a while! Customer Service Not Used. Similar Products Used: CLEVELAND LAUNCHER 330cc's ...... another amazing club.... try it!!!! |

Ping ISI Tec 8.5
A great club, very forgiving I bought a demo 8.5 degree RSS ISI Tec from the local pro shop about 4 months ago. I had owned the ISI but after swinging this club it was a simples decision. The club feels much more solid and is at least 15 to 20 yards longer. Make sure you get fitted. Similar Products Used: I have tried almosy every mfg looking for the right driver. |

Tisi tec 8.5* with Aldila HM tour 85 shaft
I have used this driver for about 3 months now and feel I can give a fari review now. When I first got it I thought I might not like it because of how big the head is but that was no problem at all. I absolutely love this driver. I got one with a Aldila Hm tour 85 shaft on it with x stiff shaft because of my fast swing speed and because I never like stock shafts. This club has the perfect combo for me. I am not afraid to use it on tight par 4's with water on one side and O.B. on the other. I can absolutely smash the ball with this club, consistently around or over 300 yards. I can also shape the ball real easily with this driver, and I have never found another driver in which I could do that. I would always have to use my 3 wood if I needed to shape the ball, but not anymore. I would say that the make sure and get the right hosel configuration or you will probably think the club is bad. I like the standard RSS because I like to be able to easily hit fades and draws. My ping Ti3 3 wood I have a RF3 which is flat. These hosel configurations are for me and every person is different. It may be a little annoying and time consuming, but it is definately worth being fitted especially when you pay as much as you do for these clubs. I also recommend buying them off ebay. I paid $300 with the custom shaft on it and would have paid $500 if I would have purchased in my local golf shop. I got my Tec driver and my Ti3 3 wood for $500 off ebay and would have paid over $1000 with tax at my local golf store. Similar Products Used: Titleist, all Callaway's, wilson deep red |

This is a very forgiving and easy club to get used to. Until I got the Ping Tec I was content with occational drives in the 220-240 range that sometimes stayed in the fairway. I either had a fade or a pull. With the Ping the ball stays much straighter and carries 240 on most decent hits which are far more frequent. I use a 10 degree RSS which was recommended by the Ping rep. I had a chance to try all the hot drivers at a manufacturers demo. The Ping was the most consistant. |

Ping ISI Tec 10*
The driving range where I practice has an excellent demo facility so I've had the luxury of hitting most of the clubs on the market over the last few years. I have loved this PING since I first hit it but I couldn't bring myself to spend the $450 that they were asking for it so I proceeded to buy and discard 5 drivers over the last 18 mths before finally purchasing the Ping Tec. It was worth every penny. After consulting with my pro I chose the 10 degree for forgiveness and installed a bi-matrix stiff shaft to lower the launch angle. The combination is amazing and I am hitting the ball higher, longer and straighter than ever. I found a demo on Ebay for $200 bucks and had the shaft installed post factory which saved me about $190 from retail. This club is the real deal and I would recommend it to anyone that is looking to increase distance and accuracy. The one drawback is that it is difficult to work the ball one way or the other, but that's what three woods and irons are for.

This is a great driver. Bottom line. Awesome value, its extremely light, large clubhead, perfect for a mid handicapper. Bought it at the end of last years season on clearance, fell in love with it at hit, played my best round of the year with it, 250 yard drives come at ease. I find it easy to hit even though I am 13 years old, its very light, expect a faster swing.Its an investment thats worth it. Made by a great company, worth every dollar.

Ping TiSi Tec 8.5 Driver
The Driver I purchased is definitely longer than the Taylor Made, but the soleweight fell out after only 9 months of once-a-week use. The stock shaft is not the typical stiff, more like a regular, so swing no more than 3/4 for more accuracy. Customer Service The Pro at our club has sent the driver back and indicated that Ping would replace it within a week. It pays to give your pro the business, especially when a problem arises.

Love the driver, I hit hit it long and usually straight or little draw. Quality of workmanship a concern for a name brand product. Second round I hit it the back weight fell out and through the year head cover has fallen apart. I understand these two problems are common for this model. I would have expected better from Ping. Customer Service Suggestion to all - if possible deal directly with customer service from Ping. Excellent service when dealing with them. Hats off to Louise from Customer Service Ping Canada, thank you for being so co |

I used a demo of this club for a bucket of balls and I am now looking for one. Wow is all I have to say. Long, straight and comfortable. I tend to swing very hard and this club just felt great. I was using some sort of graphite shaft. |
