Hey Guys,
I am interested in a high loft Driver. I have a 20+ handicap and have a tendancy to push and slice off the tee. I have read about the offset club head that is designed to correct this. I am interested in the PING G5 13.5 degree. Anyone use an offset or hear good thing?
Thanks!

dont get an offset driver, if you really want better drives work on your swing

Nothing wrong with an offset driver. Personally, I prefer not to use an offset driver, but that's only because I hit more hooks than slices.
If you want an offset driver, go for it.

i have not heard very many bad things about Ping. Alot of people seem to like their products. you might also look at the Nike Sasquatch. they also make a 13 degree version. something to compare the Ping to

I agree with Tiger. Nothing wrong with offset drivers. It's just another game-improvement idea, just like cavity-back irons, hell/toe weighted putters and oversized drivers.

If you are asking about high-loft/offset drivers, there is a very good chance it will help you, maybe a lot.

There are lots of golfers out there who would never, ever think of trying one who would also benefit greatly by using one.

I have not tried the one in question, but as you can see from my sig, I like Ping drivers.

There will be less sidespin in a higher lofted driver. You will be more consistent and may even have longer distances if you have a slower swing speed.

I hit my offset fairway woods pretty well. I can't hit the 3W off of the fairway (just from a teed up ball) but I can hit the 5W pretty well.
