are you really going to trade your g15's and get these right when they come out? You would of only had the g15's for a few months, how much money do you think you will loose on the deal?

I don't trade clubs in, I usually give them away or put them in my collection of clubs for later use

oh ok, wow you must have some money. That means you have the 2010 AP2's, 2010 AP1's and the Ping G15's sittiing in your closet and at the end of the summer you will get the Ping Anser forged irons. Thats pretty cool but alot of money.

Why are all you guys so consumed with the equipment that others own? To be totally honest golf is an expensive sport relative to other sports so i'm not sure why so many guys open their eyes when others own multiple sets of clubs. I regularly cycle with guys who do not even blink an eye at spending $5000-7000 on a custom bike with Campy Record, etc so owning multiple sets of golf clubs just does not seem that unusual to me anyway?????

Once again we have the misconception that the manufacturing process has some impact upon the club's playability.

Oh but it does. Playing forged clubs takes an automatic 2 strokes of your e-handicap.

YEs -- and after playing one round with a new set, off a handicap of 30, you can say that they are "more accurate".

Of course. And even if they aren't, the 'feel' and 'playability' are always worth tradeoff. Without dispute.

I saw my first set of these in person yesterday. They were righty, so I couldn't hit them...

They look cool as hell. But, then I took it off the rack and set the clubs down...they look like I15's at address. Still chunky and heavy-ish looking. Thick topline. Didn't like the hosel. Eggh.

The S57/S56 looks a better set to me. I haven't hit any of these though...the golf show is the only time I get to hit Pings besides the I/G series sets. Being a lefty, in Ohio, sucks in regards to having access to clubs to demo.

Bummer to hear that.

I've always liked the performance of the i-series (all the way back to my days with the i3s), but I never loved what I was looking at. Too bad to hear that the forged set looks clunky and odd like the rest.

Golf is no more expensive then cycling or triathlons. And its not uncommon to have a few sets of golf clubs as well as a few bikes in the shop. I own 2 sets of clubs a couple of drivers and at one time a had 8 bicycles sitting in my office : ) I only have 3 bikes left : ( My golf club costs will never catch up to my bike costs. I have more invested in one front wheel then I do my custom Ping G10 irons.

Great point. As a long-time cyclist and former shop mechanic, I've just begun to reduce the bike stash. Spending $400 on a driver is pretty trivial compared to $400 for a rear hub or $1,000 for a decent fork. The lady is happy that downhill racing is out of the picture for many, many reasons.
