Looking to replace my really old Ping 410. What drivers are you guys gaming these days? I tend to slice off the tee box so hoping to find something that might help with that a little

If you liked the 410 you will love the 430. Its a great driver that is consistently ranked pretty high on review lists. I gamed it for quite a while before switching to the ai smoke.

Yeah, I've been bagging the 430 with the Tour 65 shaft.

Went from a G425 to a Qi10. I'm a fan.

Driver is a big purchase. Get fitted.

Definitely going to get fitted. Anyone have any recs for a fitting studio in Austin? Was leaning towards Barton Creek

Been playing the 430 Max 10k since last October and I absolutely LOVE that club. It should help with your slice. I tended to fade/slice my old driver (Callaway) and this club straightened that out.
People think I'm an idiot or something, because all I do is cut lawns for a living.

Another vote for the Ping G430 Max 10k. It's on sale now and I really like it.

If you really have slight slicing problem I have a Ping G430 SFT (straight flight tec) with adjustable draw bias I'd sell you. I couldn't stop hooking it so I got the 10k. Have a slight draw now.

425 LST here. My first Ping driver. It's been a solid reliable performer.

410 LST is still going strong for me. It's not that old. Definitely get fitted if you just want something shiny.

New Elyte X is awesome. Added 25 yards to my driver with better dispersion.

But yes definitely get fitted.

Playing the TSR3. I almost switched to the GT but I love this driver.

I put in a Tour AD VF-6S and am very happy with it.

Cobra DS Adapt Max K. (Mine is 9 deg, but avail in 10.5)

Just changed from a Stealth 2, and the cobra Max K is ridiculously easier to hit fairways. No distance lost, if anything gained because of increased confidence. Actually more penetrating fight angle as well. I was fit for both, but my swing had deteriorated in last 1.5 years and at my age I don't plan on taking another 1.5 to fix it. Enjoy getting off the box immediately, and work to improve from there.

Edit 2: played High Meadow Ranch today. Only 1 got tagged as OB, b/c could not find it in high rough but no one actually thought it made it out, so assumed bad bounce. Life is soooo much better playing from fairways or first cut. Carded best score there ( only play 2x year) , because not playing recovery on most second shots. OP, have your fitter put this one in the mix and play with the stock shafts and lofts. The 33 available adjustments are wild. The Denali stiff was no bueno for me, but the Venus Blue stiff is a not common but available stock for this head and it hit all the buttons. Trajectory (departure/decent), and the spin numbers were in the right range, which is rare on a max K driver.
"Green" is the new RED.

100% Barton creek. All their guys are great but go see Bobby, it's an awesome experience.
