PING 2009

alright had the PING here hostage for three hours monday. to the point! G1O clubs will not be touched!! they know they have a winner there and nothing will be different.. prices the same also... sooo good news as the driver is hard to beat for $299.00 really easy to hit, hybrids a no brainer, fwy woods good. irons G10 for the ame improvement and i10 for the better player.. NOW>> the RAPTURE line is getting the face lift here - looks and price! shat> driver wil be more $449 BUT- comes stock with a real deal Diamana Blue board.. no watered down version. so a definite plus for all. it is the performance driver out of the two. lower spin, launch and deeper sound. it is all titanium now - no graphite top and a more shallow face look and design.. it was nice to hit and thus ordered a personal use for myself.. the fwy woods got a different look- again more shallow design, louder pitch and diamana JAVLYN as stock shaft.. the combo produced a mid launch and the shaft is a winner aain - a better option from the start.. Hybrids- hit the 17* rap v2 with stock javlyn shaft.. now- this baby was exciting to hit.. flat roof top flight that went hard down the range. Rap irons- subtle changes and more cosmetic than function. the irons in my option do not fit the rapture line. as i see the line built for the better player.. except for the easy to hit game improvement irons.. in short- worth a look for all and please all post up as you get to hit them.. prebooks - contact me for info...
thanks, ken PING Golf : Home Page

Ping stuff is way too expensive for me, I have to buy used usually. Doesn't mean I don't enjoy hitting them. I'm looking forward to hitting the new rapture stuff.

Interesting, especially about the new Rapture not having any composites (all metal). Also have noticed the price of the G10 not coming down so assumed they are leaving it alone. Good strategy!! What about the S57 irons? Thanks for the info.

Held one of the S57's in my grubby hand, last night. GG had just rec'd a demo 6-iron. Wow!!!! WOW!!!! What a beautiful stick! Milled face, shiney finish. And, Ping says the S57 is more forgiving than the I10??????? I've not even been tempted to look at another love other than my Eye 2+ BeCu's. After lightly and lovingly stroking the curves of that S57.....

They also rec'd the new Rapture demo iron. Now, that there is something you would NEVER find anywhere near my bag. Looks like someone took a KMart Knight brand iron and upchucked lime gatorade all over it. One of the ugliest, green weenie looking monstrosities... It well better play good. Ugly ain't necessary if it ain't got no other benefit than making you the laughingstock on the first tee!!!!!!

yes- did not say enough about the s-57's.. they - PING said they even see their i-10 SALES DROPPING BECAUSE THE NEW 57's will be more appealing to the / that i10 player.. i hit a 7i demo with DG s300 shaft.. and the PW.. really nice and yes-- if i am looking at PING clubs and good enough to hit smaller blade styles.. i am getting the 57's.. looks alone i like more so - some bling - chrome raw and polished - have it look mean. and like said - th eraptures are all game improvement... all - i hit the demo 8 iron about 160 but 3stories high!! ti face plate and offset - i think i can sit in the cart and have at it and score well...

my bag---- right now i have the G10 with Fubuki 73 stiff in it at 45 topped off wioh a white iomic grip!! one driver in my stable.. irons- been playing them for 4years now> nakashima nx-1, PX 5.5... wedges>> muira black magic wedges with KBS black nickle shafts- you guesed it white iomics.. scratch set also with spinners and leather stich back grips, putters- spyder, tp mills, 350 milled but usually sell them after a few weeks in the bag.. old 20+ year old answer is back up or a $20 hireko putter i made gets the nod. i'm a mess
