I went from TaylorMade in 2011 to Callaway in 2012 and now to PING.

Opinion on the irons -

  1. Hands down the most accurate irons I have used to date
  2. Feel heavier than my old Callaway RAZR irons
  3. "W" iron, having a bit of trouble figuring out distance as I am used to "AW" from Callaway.."W" is a bit longer club
  4. Overall the irons hit further than my past irons.
  5. Very comfortable grips.  White line on the iron I have missed, it helps getting everything squared.  My RAZR X didn't have that.

Opinion on the driver -

1.  Longest driver ever owned (268 into the wind).  RAZR Fit was average 250 yard, wind would put me about 240

2.  Found that I need to change the shaft from regular to stiff to improve accuracy due to swing speed.

3.  Largest head on a driver I have ever owned, actually helped me feel a bit more confident

Opinion on the fairway woods -

1.  Still not 100% sold on the woods.  I like the fact there is no gloss/reflection from the driver or woods.

Thanks for the feedback.  I'll be reviewing the G25 driver for the site and I think our G25 irons review will be published soon.

The W is equivalent to the PW and the U to the AW. That would explain why you hit the W further than your AW.

Hi Golfingdad -

Yeah, the last three years I would say.  I play a lot of golf though, probably more than most...this last year I played around 60 rounds of golf.  I feel very fortunate to have been able to have done that.


And thank you Kujan for the heads up on that, it was driving me nuts.

I have the G15 irons.  I can't see any difference between them and the G20s.  With the G25s, I only see a slightly thinner sole.

I've never been a big fan of PING woods.  I prefer Callaway woods.

Hi Dragon...yeah I had the RAZR Fit woods and was unable to get the comfort level I was looking for.

I did test the G25 3 wood today against the F26 Nickent 3 wood and was surprised...Ping won.  I honestly thought based on the hybrid f26 that the Ping was going to lose the battle...but not only did it win, it won big.  Distance was about 20 yards longer on the Ping.  Accuracy was much better on the Ping as well.

Funny you should say that, I play G15 irons but love my Cobia woods and hybrid, go figure.

My Bag:

Titleist Bag

Callaway Razr Hawk Driver

Callaway Diablo Octane 3 Wood (I love the 200cc oversized head, in particular since I've often struggled with 3 Woods).

Cobra Baffler Rail H Hybrids 17 & 22. I also have a Baffler Rail H 25 Degree that I will swap out with my 5 Iron on long courses or if I blowing up with the 5 Iron. I'm not always proficient with the 5 Iron, so the hybrid comes into play when that happens...

PING G15 Irons 5-PW

Titleist Vokey Spin Milled Wedges 50, 54 & 58

Odyssey Black Series TD Putters #1 & #5 .  When I sour on one, I have the other.  Usually, I stay with the blade, but when greens are really slow or putting gets into my head , I throw the mallet into the bag.

Callaway Balls - Whichever I can get in RockBottom Ammo Boxes!  I like the HX-Hots and Big Bertha Diablos...  Or the Warbird Plus works if I can't find the others.

I am new here, and I would like to comment on The G25 irons. I had RBZ last year and didn't really care for them at all. Tried the new pings and Wow, I'm glad I did. I've always played a stiff flex, but got fitted(a must) and I'm a reg flex and hit the 7 iron 10 yds farther on avg w/ little effort. Waiting on mine to come in. An absolute must try iron if in the market for new set.

I also tried the g25 driver. I really liked the way it looked and hit it over and over along w/ titleist 913 d2. I hit the d2 much better and went w/ it. Got stiff flex whiteboard shaft.

      A Novice Journey to Building a Bag. (Help Appreciated)

      By retoid ·

      First off please forgive me if this is not a proper post or not in the proper location, still learning the ropes around here. Second, it's important that I mention I am very new to the game with only about 10 rounds of golf under my belt, most being 9 holes. Only this year have I started playing 18. That being said, I am hooked, love the game and am very eager to learn and improve. To give you an idea of my skill, the last 2 18 rounds I played were 110 and 105. Not great at all, however I am slowly improving as I learn. Had been having bad slicing issues with the driver and hybrids but after playing some more and hitting the range, I've been able to improve on that quite a bit and have been hitting more straight on average. Irons have always come easier to me as far as hitting straight for some reason. Wedges have needed a lot of improvement, but I practice chipping about 20-30 mins about 3-5 times a week and that's helped a lot. Today I went to the range and started to note down some distance data, mind you I am averaging the distances based off my best guess compared to the distance markers on the range. I do not currently own a range finder or tracker. From reading some similar posts I do understand that filling gaps is ideal, but I am having a some issues figuring out those gaps and understanding which clubs to keep and remove as some gaps are minimal between clubs. Below is an image of the chart I put together showing the clubs and average distances I've been hitting and power applied. For some reason I am hitting my hybrids around the same distances and I am not sure why. Wondering if one of them should be removed. I didn't notice a huge loft difference either. The irons I have are hand me downs from my grandfather and after playing with them a bit, I feel like they're just not giving me what could potentially be there. The feel is a bit hard/harsh and underwhelming if that makes sense and I can't seem to get decent distances from them. Wondering if I should be looking to invest in some more updated irons and if those should be muscle backs or cavity backs? My knowledge here is minimal. I have never played with modern fairway woods, only the classic clubs that are actually wood and much smaller than modern clubs. I recently removed the 4 and 5 woods from my bag as I was never using them and I don't hit them very well or very far. Wondering if I should look into some more modern fairway wood options? I appreciate any feedback or advice anyone is willing to give, please forgive my lack of knowledge. I am eager to learn! Thank you.

      Is This Club Blatantly Sandbagging?

      By snapfade ·

      I would think that 3 in a row with the same players might get some behind the scenes examination from the SCGA if they were suspect.  Are there any clubs questioning the results?

      What simple fact? A golf match is not a coin flip — there is a fact for you. I'm trying to help you, and you're throwing out what could easily be called sour grapes. Come with FACTS, not weak analogies. Then you've got nothing. Hopefully they've done a better job of making their case. 😛

      By Big C ·

      It's pretty close. The odds of a 50/50 shot going your way 21 times are greater than 1 in a million!  I guess your point is, that simple fact is not enough to declare these guys dirty rotten sandbaggers. I disagree, but fair enough. I posted it here on the message board to get different perspectives, after all.  I probably won't be digging further into specific scores. I have no dog in this fight beyond a generalized contempt for sandbagging. With that said, it would not surprise if a lot of clubs shared my concern and were grousing about it to the SCGA.
