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.

      Athletic Motion Golf Video Featuring Our Own Erik Barzeski

      By boogielicious · Posted

      The first issue Erik spoke about is something we worked on for my swing during both GEARS sessions. GEARS was showing my pelvis center moving towards the ball during the back swing. I wasn’t the 4” guy though! This forced me to correct on the downswing to give myself space. My hip rotation was to high as well. We corrected it by first getting the weight off my heels in my stance and getting my posture correct. Then the feel was shifting back into my right hip at a 45 degree angle. This kept my pelvis center from moving towards the ball at the start of the backswing. I also didn’t sway back as much as I felt I did because of the angle I was shifting. Feel Ain’t Real. The cool thing about GEARS is as you work on something you can see the exact (Real) change happening. On video, it is much harder to spot this issue because of the 2D nature of filming. But I know what to look for now. Sadly, I was hurt all last year and most of this year so I really haven’t been able to work on it much. I did do a lot of backswing work though.
