  1. Thanks for the explanation, Derek. I tried it (keeping the tush out) even without understanding the why of it, together with an attempt to keep a straight spine, at the range today, and it seemed to work perfectly. Won't know for sure until Saturday when I play next.
  2. I have sets of Ping Eye2s, Eye2+s, Zings and Zing2s. Have been playing the Zings for the last two years because I hit so straight with them. But I'm fond of the other sets and have no desire to sell them. They were all bought used and together cost less than a single new set of comparable quality would cost. The Eye2s and the Zing2s are better under soggy fairway conditions than the Eye2+s and the Zings. They're all fine clubs.
  3. Derek-- I have exactly the same problem and in addition to coming late in a round, it seems to be related to achieving a good shoulder turn and arm extension (on the takeaway) -- as thought it is a (perverse) compensation for achieving something good. Would you explain how keeping the tush out in the downswing works? I.e. what does it accomplish that prevents the pull? Thanks!
  4. Forgot to add this: just because the clubs were for someone slightly taller than you doesn't necessarily mean they are longer than regular length. The lie may be for a taller player but the club length standard. Get the number of the Ping customer service rep closest to you, and call him to ask if the length is standard (you will provide the serial number). Then check is the lie suits you. The lie is coded by the colour of the dot on iron. Black is standard and fits a variety of heights b/c it is the length of your arm from the ground which is critical. Ping has a chart which you can download and then see what colour you should play. Alternatively, a good golf shop may be able to fit you for ping irons so you will know if the ones you have will beed to have the lie changed (this can easily be done).
  5. My advice is not to sell either unless you are over 60, in which case you may wish to sell the 3-wood. Keep them both as you will grow into them. You'll probably be able to hit the 5w in 6 months and the 3w in a couple of years. Likewise, you'll be able to hit the 4-iron (unless you are a senior). A 5-wood is a replacement for a 2-iron, and a 7w and 3h are about the same in distance. A hybrid is a very useful club for several reasons: its trajectory is lower than a comparable wood, and this can be handy. It is very good out of the rough. However, hybrids can also be difficult to hit, especially the lower ones. I found a 4-hybrid much easier to hit than a 3h when I was just starting. Persevere and ability to hit all these clubes will come.
