I read the Golf Digest review and was all pumped up about ordering the Ping G10... To my surprise the club did not perform as it was described... I lost distance and for some reason it seemed that every drive had a slight push to the right compared to the Taylormade Tour Burner... I am not sure if it was due to the longer shaft put in the club but for me it just did not set up nice or feel comfortable... As for looks the orange was fine and the moon shape alignment did not distract... I could not tell a major difference between it and the Ping Rapture... My friend that is an avid Ping guy hit it and duck hooked every shot compared to his Ping Rapture... Neither one of us were impressed with the G10... I have since went back to my Tour Burner.
Only advise I would give is to make sure you go and demo a club before purchase.
Update: (August 09)
After playing this club off and on for the last year, I still do not hit it as well as I would like... I was able to change my swing enough to have a slight draw... I also found out that the stock shaft was not a good fit for my swing and upgraded to my favorite shaft... I also had the new shaft installed at 44 3/4" for better control... I can tell you that when the G10 is hit on the sweet spot it peforms just as well as all of the other drivers on the market... The problem I have with the G10 is with forgiveness... Off center hits have a major loss in distance and direction... Unlike the Burner, the G10 is more of a player's club... It is ideal for a 9 or lower handicap that can hit the sweet spot on a consistent basis and is able to work the ball left and right.
