I have been hitting a Ping g2 for the last 2 years or so, I bought it brand new in 2005 with the tfc stiff shaft 10.5 degree. The club has some signs of wear including a loose/separated ferrule. For the last six months the club seems to have lost its "pop" I am a high handicapper with a swing speed of about 106, i am a long hitter and suddenly i am hittling terrible snap hooks with this club. I recently demo'd a Taylormade Burner and a CLeveland hibore and hit them both very well. Is it possible that this club is "broken" can drivers really lose their pop?

I'll assume you read my other reply to this question at the other place you posted it. But there could be another reason for what's happened. You might have changeed something in your swing, and this G2 no longer fits your game. Could be flex, could be kick point of the shaft, or it could be the weight of the shaft. Try hitting the G2 and one of the other two clubs you mentioned at the same time. Well, not exactly at the same time, more like hit one ball with one and change back and forth a half doxen times. This will eliminate the chance that you were just having a really good day when you were last hitting the other drivers. When ever I try out a new driver, I always take my current driver with me so I can compare them side by side on the same day, with what should be pretty much the same quality of swing. I can't speak for you, but I know I've had a few days when I seem to hit the ball pretty well, and other days when I'd be better of to stay home. Like the last time I played 9 holes and hit a big pull hook every time I hit my driver. The day before my ball flight was a slight fade with the same driver, so it's my fault, but I don't really know what I was doing wrong either day. As much as I hate hitting a big hook, I don't normally hit a fade either. Hopefully I can square it all up today at the range. Good luck with your G2.
