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.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By Shindig · Posted

      Day 44, June 17.  Today was some preliminary stretching, exploring what I'll want to set up as a regular routine (both while on vacation without clubs and when I'm back) (aside: this is part of an upcoming goal to stretch daily in a meaningful way, but I don't plan to count it as practice on days that I can meaningfully practice with a club)

      Too Old?

      By RetiredOldMan · Posted

      Having a rough week. Went to the Dr. because I was really weak and could hardly swing my driver.  I take Propranolol 20 mg tablets twice a day. Seems like the Propranolol was driving my pulse down (low 50's).  So we cut the dosage in half and I started taking my blood pressure. It was a little high but pulse came up.   Then yesterday I raised it to 15 mg tab by taking it 3 times a day. Blood pressure 127 / 77 Pulse 75.  Heading out tomorrow morning for 18 holes.    I have my driver set at 10.5* but seem to have my swing speed to low and I can't get the lift on the ball I need.  I have not played this week in hopes I will have the strength to raise my swing speed. I may have to raise my loft to 12* . (I will take my driver wrench) tomorrow. (This Parkinson's is a pain in the butt.)  Will give you a report when I get back.    Retired Old Man, Terry

      You still got to lift your arms. You basically just roll your wrist over in the 1st half of the backswing.

      Day 288 6-17 Low point control without ball. hit quite a few swing where i was wanting the club to hit the ground.  Added a ball with towel behind it, just to see where im at. Wasn't horrible but need some more work. Pretty much full speed swings.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Current state of the program.  I can only do 25-50% swing speed, probably under 50% since I was hitting the ball out to the 150 yard marker (yay!),  to get the arms down and somewhat turn the body through impact. I mean somewhat. Arms down + body turn don't like to mesh at all. Anything faster and the body does stupid uncoordinated stuff. Mostly, I am stuck in the old pattern of staling the turn and flipping at the ball.  So, until I see progress. I am not posting anything here.
