Slingshot 4D or Ping G5??

[Sanzabar]

Quick question... opinions are greatly appreciated.

I am currently gaming the Slingshot 4D's and I enjoy them... but I kind of feel they arent exactly for me. I have stumbled across a great deal on some Ping G5 irons... brand new standard black dot.

I have a couple of questions...

Which would be the better irons for game improvement?
Is it worth the upgrade?
Should I spend the extra cash on the G10s or G15s?
Can I take them to Golf Galaxy or a golf store of some sort to get them fit (bent to my specs) for me after purchasing them?

Slinghsots are as GI as you can get really. But they are all great irons, if you get a chance to try them, just get whichever feels the most comfortable for you....Good Luck

Ping G5, hands down.

I would prolly get the G5's if they fit you right go check out the ping fitting system on Ping's site.

Yep, G5s for sure, and if you have the scratch get the G15s fitted

They won't bend them. They will be sent back to Ping if you need a lie adjustment. It is fairly inexpensive to have done at Ping.

I had this same problem, except it was between Nike Slingshots OSS and Ping G2s. I stuck with the Ping's and sold Nike's. I had a much better feel with the Ping's, never could get comfortable with the Nike's.

Ping and Nike both make great clubs, and you'll have no problem with either, though the G5s are a bit higher end. Ping clubs can be bent fairly easily, or at least my local guy has no problem doing it. But still, I would buy the Pings as close to your lie angle as possible to avoid having to bend them too far.

In my opinion, Pings have better feel than most cast irons, but that's just my opinion. And I would get fitted for lie angle/length, and get Ping to do the bending for you. They will do it for cheap and will color in the correct corresponding dot for your fitting.
