Hi Guys,

thinking of chaning to Ping from my current callaway X20 regular shaft.

Had a try on G15 on soft iron shaft... Much lighter to hit = less fatigue, distance looks reasonable as well.

Is the only fitting at Bishan?

Caddy Posts : 5606 Join date : 2009-12-26

nope, Golfhouse Marina or Suntec. Bob's Golf, Urban Fairways, used to be TPY range but may have moved, quite a few other places. Pick up the free GOLF tabloid on the ranges. Ping/Wingolf advertises their fitting days there.

Thanks...Prices are pretty much fixed at these places I guess?

Hi Simoner,

The Scottsdale series has some really bold and interesting designs i.e Wolverine. It gives a soft feel but lacking on the "solid" feel and sound. I like the designs but not a great fan of the thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) insert. Just my personal preference, I still like the stainless steel face.

Regards, PG

ping bros!

I'm waiting for arrival of Ping I15 5-PW! Finally will be playing Ping irons again after starting out with an Eye 2.

Btw, would there be value for Eye 2+ beryllium copper set in Singapore? I still have it in cold storage.

Heh pushslice,

Caddy Posts : 5606 Join date : 2009-12-26

I picked up my G15 draw off 3Balls for approx US$200 (which includes shipping) and it was in top notch condition (of course, I won it via eBay).

Hi Cornball, I don't think we can order from Ping.com, I usually order from Custom Golf, Bishan. Likewise you can get it from GH too, cheers PG.

I was considering getting G15 driver, but than again how far can it go?
Last Saturday for the first time play on Saturday, it was frustrating cos
the front flight were so slow every hole have to wait till I lost focus,
but luckily my Nike Sumo2 help me a lot I drove the ball 230 to 250yds.
So how to change driver when my faithful Nike driver SR shaft is doing a
good job for me.

Putter Ping Redwood Black beauty!
cheers
