Ping Hybrid

Sweet!!

I hit the Ping Hybrid today (19degree) in steel and the NV hybrid shaft. With the NV shaft it was one smooth feeling stick. I'm going to have to pick this up. Can anyone comment on the Ping with the Graffaloy PL hybrid shaft?

Hit the Prolaunch and NV side by side. The Prolaunch to me felt weak and was very inconsistant. Ballooned the ball at times. Alot of people swear by the Prolaunch HY shaft so some have had success. I play the prolaunch in my driver and 3 wood so naturally, I wanted to like it in the hybrid. The NV was more consistant, and alot smoother feeling. The NV feels more stout so I'm not afraid of going after it a little more. I have an aggressive move down at the top of my swing, and felt the prolaunch wasn't keeping up. I would have liked to have tried the prolaunch in x-stiff flex but no one has one to demo. The prolaunch seems better suited to a smooth swinger, not a hitter.

I have a 19 and 22 degree with the Prolaunch HY stiff. My driver swing is 104 mph. The HYs hit the ball higher than the NV Hybrid. The G5 head is so forgiving that I can easily hit it with a NV Hybrid. The NV Hybrid and I have not traditionally gotten along, but this head just provides more than sufficient help in getting the ball up regardless of shaft choice. Having said all that, I still prefer the PL HY in this head. Very easy up, for me, with great accuracy. I'm a pretty hard swinger and I am experiencing nothing but great control with this shaft. The trajectory is high but my distance is as long as my Heavenwoods with IRODs. As hybrid go, the Heavenwoods are very long, so I'm saying that the

G5s with PL HYs provide soaring trajectory with great distance. You'll have to demo, because I feel that the Prolaunch will work for a myriad of swing types. Admittedly, those that swing out of their shoes, may be better off with the NV, for sure the trajectory will be much more aggressive.

I just bought the Ping G5 with the Prolaunch Stiff. Too me the ball flight is very consistent but with this shaft I can hit it high, low, fade and/or draw with ease. I have the 19* which enabled me to take the 18* and 20* Cobra Baffler's out of my bag and replace with a third wedge or depending on the course use my 3 iron.

 

Ping has hit a home run with this hybrid. :tongue:

Is it more forgiving than the Baffler?
