re: Has anyone tried both M2 and Ping G

Ping G400 is a must hit if the Ping G is in consideration.

G400 feel is amazing compared to the G. (i realize feel is subjective though. YRMV)


ETA: As for your original question. Have hit both. As others have stated, it's all in the right shaft/head pairing for YOUR swing. Watching videos of numbers is fine and dandy, but his angle of attach and smash factor play in an awful lot to those numbers. Distance is not everything with driver. Confidence is more important for dispersion (unless you play on wide open courses all the time). Give me 245 straight vs 255 all over any day. M2 lacked in feel for me, Ping G had weird sound. I am saving for the G400 as sound was much improved and feel was incredible.
