 Right, okay, thank you for joining the Average Golf once again, still out here in Tenor Reef and still doing some product testing this Ping G410 range. This time is the crossover. I've got the three crossover in my hands right now. I'm about to tee off with it very shortly. But before I do that, let's just talk about how it looks and I'll throw some images up on screen now. The one thing Ping have done with the crossover, it is considerably smaller in terms of its overall profile than the previous model that is. They've thinned out the top liner lower. It's still got a fair bit of bulk that you'd expect and the overall mass of the club is on the larger side in terms of driving irons but for a lot of people that will no doubt inspire confidence and encourage you to use this type of club. I've got the CBL to stiff shaft in it but before I say too much and try and hit this thing let's get back over to the UK and get a very brief tech spec on this crossover and what Ping have packed into this head. Right, we're going to make this very very brief indeed and you can soon get back out in the sun and whilst I'm on that why is he out there in the sun and I'm stuck here in the cold but anyway that's a different story. Very very brief of what's happened to the Ping crossover in terms of technology. First of all the head size compared to the previous model is considerably smaller. The next thing they have done they have put a 30 gram tungsten weight in the toe of this which basically it extends the the weight in the perimeter weight in and once again helps and increases MOI so I'm sure the average golfer is going to be keen on that out there in tenor reef. Internal rib structure which you can see from this diagram I show it in front now it's very similar strengthens the sort of the whole body I suppose the whole structure and once again getting ball speeds very fast across that whole face. That's it that's what's happening in the Ping crossover in terms of technology but we need to go back and see how it performs out there on the course at Obama. So that's my opinion now it looks that's the tech specs from Ping all we need now is some shots so what I'm gonna do is take you straight up to the driving range and here's some shots I started off with earlier this morning when getting warmed up with the Ping crossover. Into the crossover review what do I think so far it's just played last ball off the turf so from a fairly decent lie it's it's not the highest of launching in the current setup I definitely think that they're again CB Ulter stiff shaft and to me they just seem a little bit stiffer than last years and I'd love to know if that's the case because I'm just struggling a little bit to get that clubhead through and I feel I'd like to try these in a regular shaft for me because like I said I'm not getting the greatest of launch angle it is a it is a three iron but the previous models of the crossover were very high launching and I'm not quite getting that at the moment. Right three tee shots there all with the crossover very very similar in terms of ball flight they actually I got a bit more launch angle than I've just suggested I was hitting at the lower ball five they actually popped up a bit and three are very very similar in where they landed but not in terms of dispersion front to back there was a big difference and strike three almost went in the water I didn't realize that was as close as it was but strike three you can see in the distance here's the first two balls not sure which was which I think shot one was further right shot two is here not a great deal between all of those but to be fair I would suggest looking back at the yardage where I've just tased all in around that sort of 200 yard mark I would think it's a handy club to have from a tee I like playing this kind of thing I like the driving iron yet again for me and I've been negative about this hole but I have to be honest about it is that I just don't know no response in the hands in terms of feel for me it's a very hard almost tinny sound again and it's been a negative for me throughout this 410 range it's the same with the crossover three decent shots I couldn't tell you the difference between either either of them in terms of what you normally get out the hands so you would think the pure strike the longest ball you'd get that sweet feeling out the sweet spot didn't feel any different to the other two to be quite honest with you so that's the downside for me still on these 410 crossovers right so final summary at the pin crossover I will very briefly throw up some numbers here for you for dry ball data you have a look through them they're pretty much as I'd expect them to be I didn't again strike it perfectly well inside at four golf when I tested this so I've got a much better opinion I think from what I've done out here on the course to be quite honest with you and I'd suppose a mixed reviews where I'd say it performed well out here but the little things that I have issue with which is like I said the sound and feel perhaps would put me off it the profile is smaller than the original crossover I would try a different shaft for me on a personal level so yeah it's kind of I'm a bit I'm would I gain it I suppose is the answer the answer is no I think for me there are far better driving ions that I've found out there currently that I would prefer to gain I suppose that's how I put the summary in the most honest way as I can put it over to you but having said all that it's performed well and the important thing is as I always say get out there and try it yourself because my opinion is almost irrelevant really it should start just one man's opinion so get out there give it a go yourself stick comments down below thanks for watching and as I end most of these vlogs this week is I'm gonna have a pint
