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

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.

      PRGR Launch Monitor

      By Clemsonfan · Posted

      Is it? I bought the Stack radar to replace my PRGR based on what Stack told me! When I am swinging for speed, the PRGR would miss 50%-80% of my backswings due to a higher speed. The stack seldom misses those- at least for me.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By Clemsonfan · Posted

      As an analyst by nature, I would like to compare the scores under both systems. It is something we can easily do if we have the data. I actually thought the new system was less fair to those whose game was on the decline - like mine! Old: Best 10 of last 20 scores with the .96 multiplier. Course handicap excluded course rating and overall par. New: Best 8/20. Course handicap includes course rating -par. My understanding is Stableford caps scores at Net double bogey like stroke play. If so, handicap should be slower to rise because you are only using 8 versus 10 scores. If I am missing something, I am curious enough to  want to understand what that may be. My home course tees that I play are 72.1/154 now. My best score out here is 82. When my game started to decline, my handicap didn’t budge for 13 rounds because of good scores in my first 8! I know I am an anomaly but my handicap has increased almost 80% in the past few years (with only a few rounds this year). For a few months I knew I was losing every bet because my game was nowhere near my handicap. I suspect I have steamrolled a few nuances but that shouldn’t matter much. When I have modeled this with someone playing the same tees and course, one good round, or return to form, will immediately reduce the handicap by some amount.
