This driver has enabled me to at least think than now I'm driving the ball as I did "back in the day." The club sets up nice, feels substantial during the swing, and best of all, the ball actually goes where I've intended. The grip is unusual for me, in that it's a bit larger than what I've become accustomed to. Before I stroked any shots, I was a bit leery about that, but now that I've actually used the club, I'm actually considering having some of my other clubs regripped in this manner. I would have given an excellent rating to this Ping, (I've used Ping irons before,) except for the fact that something feels loose under the grip close to the end of the shaft. I'll have that fixed, but my first impressions are VERY positive! bgc
Unless my memory has failed me I believe that this is the best driver I have ever used. I'm not a huge guy and I struggled with a bad slice with my driver. I believe that the crux of my problem was that I simply felt I had to crush the ball to get distance. I tightened up and my hands didn't turn over at contact -- I was chopping wood. This driver has a large sweet spot and an extremely lively face. It gave me the confidence to slow down and relax. I don't need to rob myself of yardage with a hook faced driver just to hit straight anymore. If you take it easy this thing will drive farther than just about anything and it's almost as easy to hit a a 3 wood. I'd like to buy all the rest of them so that other folks will have to use a lesser driver. You know what scratch all that, this driver sucks folks. The best thing off the tee is a MacGregor Bobby Grace putter. Swing it wearing a welder's mask because when the ball explodes the flash might damage your retinas or you might get a shard of golf tee in your eye. Once you get rid of your driver look me up for a $200 Nassau. In all seriousness though I highly recommend the Ping TiSI -- and don't be afraid to let the driver do the work for you. This thing is really sweet.Read full review
Purchase on ebay was easy and simple - buyer was great. I bought a 9 degree, stiff-shaft driver because I wanted to try something with a lower trajectory - and the Ping TiSI is highly rated. I like the look and feel of it, but I just can't hit it that well. I slice the ball pretty bad with it. My old 10.5 degree, graphite shaft Callaway drive hits much better. I just do not have the swing speed to hit this club well - not the fault of the club. So. . . I am reselling it on ebay, of course!
I absolutely love this driver. It feels so balance in your hands and i can not get used to the radical club shape of new drivers. This driver sets up to the ball nice and has a great sound. The large club face allows you to control the ball and is forgiving on off center shots. My Dad just bought a new high dollar driver and I have taken a demo G-10 to the range for two days now and i just don't love it like my TiSi, so i just bought a slightly used one on ebay and will put a Fujikara shaft on it and gladly have a better product than the g-10 for 1/3 of the cost!!!
Cant complain about this guy for the price. I picked mine up generously used for about 40 bucks and it hits like a raped ape. Makes me wonder what that V2 rapture is like off of the tees. Would highly reccomend this driver if you can find a similar deal on one that has been gently used. Look for the PING graphite shaft when shopping these out. It seems to make all of the difference.
