Ping seems to have setup a contract with Arrcos which includes Arrcos grips on their new clubs. I bought a set of G-425 irons not knowing this. The grips have a Arrcos chip built into the end of the club. The problem is the end of the grip bends about an inch down when you swing. A very awkward feeling. I sent them back to Ping and they regriped them at no charge. I think they are about 1/2 inch shorter now which doesn't make me very happy even though I do like the club performance. Not sure why Ping entered into this deal. To me it has more negatives than positives.

I think the extra inch is just that - an extra inch. (I also don't think it's anything like a full inch).

Clubs should be measured to where the shaft ends, basically. On most grips that's pretty easy because the butt cap is maybe 1/4". With the Arccos sensors, that's a bit more (still < 1" I think).

So, you're probably not supposed to grip all the way out to the end of the grip when you have Arccos sensors. I don't think your clubs are truly an "inch shorter" now.

@iacas the club may actually be shorter. Not an inch but more like .25. I was looking at order custom Cobra clubs a while back and it stated if you wanted different grips to add .25 length to them due to the club now being shorter due to being set for Arrcos  grips to start.

Interesting. Thanks. A quarter inch shouldn’t matter much, and I still don’t encourage gripping out to the sensor.

Thank you for sharing.

iacas  I agree I wish I could learn to choke down slightly on my grips but I have a bad habit of my hands gripping at the tip of the club.  thank you for the information.

      Day 6 (6 Jun 26) - Spent time w/7i, hard foam balls and Divot Board….hit around 20 balls - focusing on impact zone and face position at impact based on club impact track.  Used the drill to control tempo as well.

      I can't get my playing partners to play anything but stroke play.  1 time we played foursome, foreball, and stroke play.  That was the last day.   They only want to play stroke play.

      Have You Ever Clean Your Grips?

      By Archie Bunker · Posted

      Most gloves are white, and most grips are black. Just take a look at the palm of your glove after a few rounds, and you will see why cleaning your grips on a regular basis is a good idea. Can even make your glove last longer. Not just dirt, but a lot of the rubber compounds in the grip shed the black colorant over time, and ends up embedded in your glove.

      My Swing (StuM)

      By StuM · Posted

      Foundation Session 4: I seemed to have a good (high swing speed) session today.  One thing was very different from prior and I am curious if that impacted it. All prior sessions were on grass.  Because of heavy rain last night I did not want to swing on my grass so I laid out my putting felt on my drive and stood on it for the session.  I had several “New Record Speed” with all weights. Q: Could being on a hard concrete surface instead of grass contributed to faster swings?
