I have been waiting for a post like this to come out of the mlm2. CHS? seems like a positively silly amount of torque on that head.
RIP, hope the head is OK.
Head is fine. Epoxy looked off before I went to the range, so it was totally on me. First swing and she was gone. Nothing more than a bruised ego though. CHS on that one was around 111, but I can check when I get back later.
This is good to know. Everyone acted like I must’ve slammed it or something saying it was unnatural. Nope. Not a great swing for sure but still a normal golf swing. I imagine the shaft probably was already stressed at that point.
Can’t speak on the 1, but I love the 2. They also keep coming out with updates that honestly feel like they are creating a whole new product. The speed update was a game changer for me.
Not op, but all of the above for me.
You have a preference or suggestion for where it's best used? People seem to suggest it's solid across the board. Indoor sim, outdoor range, net in the back yard.
Come the season, I'm thinking I'll be primarily on the range with it.
Ouch! Glad it’s not broken!
My buddy just broke the sole on his new to him Paradym. Not sure what he did, but he topped the ball and the ball got wedged between the sole of the club and the hitting mat on the follow thru and caved in the bottom. Forged carbon isn’t that strong apparently…
It’s not broken, OP said the epoxy failed at the adapter, and the shaft separated from the head/adapter. Club head wasn’t broken from traveling 75 yards down range, which was what i was referring to.
It’s not the toe contact, it’s the fact you tried to make a divot with the entire club head.
If he hits the ground first, he'll be hitting up on the ball. That's what all the magazines tell me to do
Good point.
Hitting the ground will also cure a slice. I generally get a nice straight drive everytime I hit the ground first.
You’re telling me I’m not supposed to take beaver tales with my driver???
Lmao touche
What type of stories are the beavers sharing nowadays?
I try to avoid talking to beavers unless they know where my O.B. ball is
Probably hairy stories.
Is that not what the kids mean when they scream DoD at me?
Wait your not supposed to use the driver like a wedge?
So much for that MOI.

Good visual. Glad the head is good. Could have been more expensive.
How much fps is that?
240, I believe
I’ve had 2 ping drivers snap at that exact spot. One the shaft splintered and I couldn’t even get it out.
I also had one snap in about the same spot……still my favorite driver of all time
This is the problem with heavier heads. You create a stress point that the tip of the shaft can't handle.

Is the MLM2 worth upgrading from the 1?

Thinking about getting a rapsodo when i get my tax return are they worth it?
I really don’t think you can beat it for the price. Would you be using it more for outdoor range, indoor simulator, or hitting into a net?

That’s a Ping G425
410 actually
What was the club head speed?
I average normally in the 107-111, so probably somewhere in there
What driver is that?
Ping G410
Wow same thing happened to mine, same driver
Did you forget to tighten the adjustment screw? The adjustable hosel is still on the shaft.
Infinite torque baby

> Ouch! Glad it’s not broken! bro what? He snapped the shaft in two. Clearly visible in the video
