Just wondering,

Anyone compare the new G15 to a Rapture V2? I am hearing the V2 is still better? Any 1st hand experience with them both(Maybe side by side?)

Yeah but everyone says the i15 is cruel and unforgiving. I'm a + hcp and i still like forgiveness. Same is true for the word from Ping staff pros. The G15 said the trajectory is high. ?????

I played with a guy who was using i15 irons and said he'd tried the i15 driver and did not like it at all. He was using a 909D3. He was pretty good.

driver: FT-i tlcg 9.5˚ (Matrix Ozik XCONN Stiff)

Keep us posted on your experiences with it.

Well I played again yesterday and despite hitting a couple of really, really long drives (that I don't think I would have quite achieved with my previous G10) I'm not quite so sure about the G15.

The ball comes off the face really hot, but I'm finding that the club sits more closed at address than the G10. I have to be honest, I hadn't really noticed this at first. A couple of the guys I was playing with yesterday were keen to see my new aquisition and they also commented on it. I'm finding that most of my shots (not all) are either finding the left hand side of the fairway or running off into the semi down that side. Very few are going as straight as the G10, although the two "biggies" that I hit yesterday split the fairway. Distance is good, I'm happy with that. But I feel that I am going to have to start aiming down the right hand side a little bit more to get the ball where I want it. Trouble is, if it doesn't draw then I could be in trouble... My worst shots with the club were a straight pull, something I didn't do with the old club (or if I did, very rarely) but I managed a couple yesterday. I double checked the sole of the club to confirm that I hadn't been sold the "draw" model by mistake lol!! Jury is still out on this one.

      Dr. Raymond Prior and Block vs. Random Practice (The Spin Axis Podcast)

      By iacas · Posted

      It may not have been block practice, though, is one of the main points here. You may have been serving and from the same place, but you were likely trying to do slightly different things. It seems that would only be blocked practice if you were trying to hit the same exact ball hit to you to the same exact place in the far court. I'm not sure that's as random as if the ball that you're given to hit is at different places, too, but again…

      I played tennis in college. I thought block practice was great for serves because you were starting the point and  you could easily adjust where you wanted to place the ball based off the same motion. I equate those to tee balls. I despised block practice for groundstrokes once you reached a certain level and your fundamentals were good. To me, hitting a 100 crosscourt backhands in a row was silly because I would never do that in a match. I needed to randomize it by hitting some deep, some angled, all with different speeds and spins. I share that same thought about iron play. Because we seldom hit the same approach shots hole after hole, I prefer to practice irons randomly.
