Ping Owners Thread - Forgiving and Lasting

Haha!!! Just that the clubs are really helping my game and am enjoying using them.

For those who are thinking of getting fitted (be it any other brands and make) my 2 cents worth - Do it!!!! In the long run, its cheaper and you start to enjoy playing a better game earlier.

i always laugh watching this.

Ping Anser Forged Irons 5-PW (yellow dot), and am loving it!!!!

congrats to your Anser forged..bring to SSN ah!

Just picked up my g15 irons...next to my callaway x-tours, they are truly, truly ugly...however, i'm incredibly hopeful that the regular flex, light shaft and wider sole will improve my irons game...i'm hoping that i will be able to post "ugly but good" soon enough

Yup, Ping clubs aren't aesthetically pleasing but one thing is for sure...it's the most forgiving set of clubs. I am getting about 10m more from my new Ping irons compared to my Nakashima and Callaway X-14

I treid the G15 7 iron at Bishan Range I drive 148 to 155m with it so don't be disapointed
you'll be Glad after u have used it!

wah ...7iron can go so far....range ball some more......!!!!! Amazing....

just went to the range to try my G15 irons for the first time....my impressions so far compared to old x-tours:
Negatives:
1. major loss of feel...difficult to tell where on the clubface i'm hitting it
2. damn ugly....
3. damn ugly....

Positives:
1. Minimal loss of distance on mishits
2. Dispersion is fantastic
3. High and straight

I don't think i'm getting extra distance from these clubs but they are extremely forgiving (as advertised).....i can't say i'm ecstatic by the irons, mainly cause it's damn ugly (sorry, i'm an incredibly shallow person).....but i do like the fact that they're really easy to hit...funnily enough, I used to hit a trap draw with the x-tours but hit straight with these clubs which have more offset....

anyway, can't validate the purchase until i have a chance to take it out on the course..hopefully soon....

I'm using the G15 driver, stock R shaft which I find too whippy.

Anyway, I'm planning to add to my Ping collection, a G15 hybrid. Now, I'm just deciding the loft to help me cover up some distance. I'm hopeless with long irons...

No one else using the G15 irons? I feel like getting. Hee hee

hi g15 wielding bros, sorry for this little advert.

youll notice that g15 pw has strong loft at 45 deg. If you need a 50 deg gap wedge, my CG14 50 deg wedge is avail for sale at the marketplace. Pls check my Sept Sale thread. Tks!

just to share my on course review.....two words......LOVE IT!!!

it's by far the easiest clubs i've ever hit...just aim and pull the trigger....they really squeeze out my limited abilities and make the game more fun to play.....anyone on the fence about the G15 irons should just go out and buy them.....now what do i do with my old clubs!?!?!??!

Serious ah? I'm on the fence on the g15.

Where did you get your irons bro?

i got the 5i - PW from Custome golf at bishan...had to wait about a month for delivery though....so far i've played two rounds of golf with them and the results have been great...can't recommend the clubs enough...what you give up in feel, you gain in consistency...

i bought my G15 with some extra in the steel shaft
I paid $90 for vibration damping. now my steel shafts feels like my graphite shaft yamaha.

I did not know that Ping offer steel shaft vibration damping.
its only 1-2 weeks after I order my G15, when I saw it in the Ping catalogue.

Lucky I managed to add the vibration damping before the irons are install and shipped to Singapore

LOve it

Hey morganoh, where did you buy your clubs? Is it $90 per club or in total?

Gulp !!!! Phew..... this is PGA standard. I can only get 125/130m for my 7i. May I asked shyly what kind of average scores you are now playing at? HC?? Don't be shy, everybody will admire you la.

Bought my g15+ vibration damping in steel shaft from Bishan
$90 is for a total of 8 PC of irons

Woah.. everyone buys their g15 from Bishan. No one bought from Golf House?

am i silly to consider between Callaway X22 and G15?

as everyone says, you need to try before you buy....that's why we date different women before we get married.....the reason why i bought at bishan was because there was custom fitting so i knew that the clubs suited me...so if you can, try both first before choosing...

X22 has similar lofts, offset and forgiveness but I'd opine that the AWT shaft on Ping feels better than the Uniflex Cally steel on X series. Esp. if you can get the Ping ZZ65 shaft for more penetrating launch angle. Durability Ping irons are better too. X-22 are chrome finished so scratches are very visibile. I love the unique Ping dull grey look. Again, my opinions only. But you are definitely not silly to compare them

hmmm.... need to get new set of irons and had been a X14 and X20 user prior to this, maybe could consider the G15 for my next purchase....
