The topline looked better on the I10 to me...just a little slimmer. The I10 felt a little softer especially on the less than flush shots. I had immidiate(sp) confidence with the I10's, not so much with the AP1's.

Im pulling the trigger on the Pings.

On another note I hit the Gq0 driver and the thing felt like the shaft was two miles long.

Im thinking of cutting a 1/2" of my Cobra to see what happens. My driver is the only club I walk up to the ball with doubts. When I hit it good, it is really good and can straight out bomb it, but I can really FUBAR it at times and it doesnt matter how far you hit it if you cant find it. Funny I will order my irons probably 1/2" over and I will cut down my driver atthe same time!

Having played Ping for 17 years I normally think you've probably made a wise choice. And what isn't wise as long as you can hit it and feel confident with them in your hands. But today I hit the AP1s and was just floored. Flushed and straight almost every time. And I liked the feel alot. I need to hit more for comparison but I'm already biased and ready to jump the Ping ship. What shafts were in the clubs you hit??

I still need to hit them outside. Anybody from Austin know if the Golfsmith on I35 will let you take clubs to the outdoor range?

Thanks! Can I pull whatever I want off the rack and get it taped up?

No... but they have a huge bin of 6 Irons, with all length shafts and flexes..

Keep this in mind you are possibly going to spend $1k on clubs...if they don't let you hit outside take your business elsewhere. Hard Drive also has Ping not sure on prices, but they have a really nice fitting area. Doppler stuff, etc.

Correct me if I'm wrong but if you are trying the i10 wouldn't the AP2 be the better comparison?

I thought the clubs kinda broke down like this. G10/r7/X-20/AP1/S9 i10/r7T/X-20T/AP2/Fp
Inside the OGIO Exodus
Driver: Ping G10 10.5* w/ TFC129 Stiff 45"

They are and now I am back thinking I want the G10's. I just cant find anything that shows me the smaller club head and minimal workability of the I10 is worth a little more forgiveness of the G10.

if you think the shaft is to long get a red dot shaft which is about 44.5 inches long.

      Day 206 3-11 Focused on wider backswing and reconnecting arm in downswing. Wasn't really happy with how swing was looking today. Wider backswing is very different for me. Went back to do a some longer pauses at the top. Hit a few foam balls.

      This is an awesome breakdown. most of the bigger tournaments usually have one wave with the advantage, Thank you for the breakdown. If it is soft then it will be a lower final score

      Over the past 15 years, the winning score has ranged from -10 to -20. Mostly around -13.  Here is Thursday and Friday weather. Saturday and Sunday weather. I think the course will play soft. Plenty of sky cover, lots of rain on Thursday. Fairways and greens will probably stay soft throughout the week.  In terms of tee times, I think Thursday morning and Friday afternoon have the biggest advantage. I bolded the big group of each set.  Most beneficial with the weather Round 1: No. 1 tee, Round 2: No. 10 tee 7:40 a.m., 12:30 p.m.: Mark Hubbard, Thorbjørn Olesen, Mac Meissner 7:52 a.m., 12:42 p.m.: Bud Cauley, Vince Whaley, Chandler Phillips 8:04 a.m., 12:54 p.m.: Emiliano Grillo, Christiaan Bezuidenhout, Max Greyserman 8:16 a.m., 1:06 p.m.: Kevin Yu, Cam Davis, Gary Woodland 8:28 a.m., 1:18 p.m.: Ricky Castillo, Ryan Gerard, Patrick Cantlay 8:40 a.m., 1:30 p.m.: Adam Schenk, Garrick Higgo, Matt McCarty 8:52 a.m., 1:42 p.m.: Brian Harman, Maverick McNealy, Davis Riley 9:04 a.m., 1:54 p.m.: Sami Valimaki, Lucas Glover, Matt Fitzpatrick 9:16 a.m., 2:06 p.m.: Michael Brennan, Harris English, J.T.

      We have a very difficult but mostly showy course this week. Lets see what they got. This course offers so many chances to get into trouble it is really a mental minefield. I am excited to see who can handle it and who cant. Last year we got a foreshadowing of JJ and Rory, I am excited for this year Who do people have winning? what will the winning score be? I am thinking 12 or 13 under
