Looks

When it comes to the look of the Black Ops driver, when you place it behind the ball it’s fair to say that you’re greeted with a rather hectic aesthetic. Although our tester usually prefers a cleaner and more simplistic aesthetic, they noted that they felt PXG had really pulled the slightly fussier look off, and liked the look of the all-gloss finish, complete with a carbon crown and subtle gray accent graphics. 

In terms of the look of the Ping G430 Max 10K, the driver head is noticeably larger than older models, but the proportions of the club still felt right to our tester. Not only does this driver look good, it sounds good too. The sound of strike is another feature that sets this driver apart from its predecessors, as it delivers a louder and more high pitched acoustic when struck.
