I'm a mid handicap golfer and I review both the new CALLAWAY Ai SMOKE and the PING G430 MAX 10k! I take a deep dive into both drivers and battle between which one I should pick!

Try the new limited edition Callaway Paradym AiSmoke MAX Triple Diamond! A combination of the MAX model and the Triple Diamond. Long and forgiving, I have it and love it. And head is a full 460cc size.
I tested the Ping 430 10k max. And I tell you it‘s so easy to hit really a small draw with every shot. Loved it and bought it. Check!
What a confusing vid this is. You first start out by saying you’re not a great driver of the golf ball. Then you go on to say you were fitted for a diamond driver and bag a G425 LST model? This sounds like the typical golfer who refuses to play a driver they can play well to have appearances in their bag. The Ping G425 Max is one of the best drivers ever made, but yet you play the LST model and it sounds like you don’t play well with it? And enough already about how loud Ping drivers are. Geeez it’s an outdoor sport, there’s nothing better than crushing a driver down the pipe and that Ping sound is music. It seems like you need a honest driver fitting.
The 10k is simply a legal issue, they can go further but the club would be illegal. Ping got to 9.5k moi 10 years ago, so this years 10k nonsense is just marketing. Agree the Ai Smoke was a more interesting club, I also hit it better than the PING, but mainly because Ping shafts are rubbish. Unfortunately with regulation, drivers are not really getting better, very small refinements year on year, but mostly its brand building and marketing by all the major players. So you are right, to optimise things to the nth degree, get fitted, by a reputable unbiaised fitter.
Contemplating the Callaway right now.. Good video, disappointed about you hitting the Ping so badly… surly this is about your fitting mate .. a different shaft possibly? Good numbers on the Callaway…
I’ll take straight over extra distance. All drivers are at the max for speed so what’s a few more yards if I’m blocked out from hitting the green? I play to a 4 in my early 50’s.
Did you test the ai smoke max at all? That’s what I’m edging towards as a 12hcp although not expecting it to be long.
You have me thinking I need to put the Callaway in my bag. 😂
