Does anybody here think I could beat Davis in net stroke play if I called "no punchies" and "no skippies"?  I would need to take 2 of his 3 best tools away from him, but if I took his delusion away from him I feel that would be unfair.

I suspect you're a troll.  I belong to three private clubs, including two of the most exclusive west of the Rockies, and I find that Ping irons are an almost infallible indicator of someone who flat can't play.  I've seen good ballstrikers with Mizunos, Wilsons, Macgregors, Titleists and Powerbilts (In fact, often PB's), but Ping guys hardly ever parachute one close to the pin on one of our slick greens.    I think Ping might appeal to the same type of guy who buys Cadillacs, i.e. someone who never got the memo that BMW's, Audis and Infinitis exist.  Oh well, that's cool, someone has to keep the Chinese economy from imploding.

The ignorance level of this guy is just through roof that I'm sure will bring comments to his statement for even more years to come! Lol first of all I dgaf if you claim to be associated with 1 or all of the country clubs or private resturant n bars in the country, it doesn't change the fact that you "neurodoc" don't know wtf you are talking about; and by now you shouldn't be allowed to even speak! much less give your worthless opinion!!! And not just when it comes this subject, or any subject pertaining to golf.., nope, I'm literally talking about any F****** SUBJECT PERIOD!! But In all fairness I don't doubt that you may be associated to some hoydie toydie patheticness of some kind,  as a matter of fact I am sure of it! But being it may.., you need to know that just because you may know someone, because God knows you don't have any real friends, just because you "know" someone who can play golf.., doesn't makes you a bonified expert!! Truth be told.., there's nothing on this earth that could ever even get you halfway to one! So just do everyone who might have to listen to your nonsense in the future, and to all of the players in this forum but most of all do your dead self a favor and... SHUT THE **** UP! The less people who hear what you mind is thinking the better the entire world will be that's how ineffectual you are!

No - he's right.  Everybody that plays Pings sucks.  I've seen it myself.  The other week, I played golf with a few strangers and, sure enough, one of em had Pings.  Man, he sucked. 

Then I noticed that I, myself, had Pings . .and all of a sudden it became very clear to me what's going on here.

If it's any consolation, it seems like you can also suck with an old set of Dunlop DMTs, an even older Taylormade Burner Bubble 5W and a Nike Covert driver.

Do you think you can catch the Ping-flu just by visiting the HQ??  I gotta admit, I haven't played all that well since last September.

It's a good thing that I saw this thread; I was going to go to a Ping demo day this Friday.

Actually the driver is the best club I hit. Irons, on the other hand, may as well be pool cues.

Yes. And the response contains so many misspellings, non sequiters, and I don't know what to call thems, that it borders on the bizarre! And this is the guy's second post on the forum?! Wow! He is really out to make friends and influence people!

I call those "fly-by" posts. We get them occasionally. Someone did a web search and a Sand Trap thread popped up. So they join and post a rant. Then we never hear from them again.

Ping is Mandarin for Suck. The "i" they brand everything with is an inside joke that Karsten came up with one night while smoking hash with one of his engineering buddies from General Electric. Apparently Karsten was big on Eastern philosophy (hence the Ping name) and an arsehole (hence the "suck" translation).

I do remember a guy I used to play in league with. He had a powerful game, and like quite few skilled golfers, a dedicated experimentalist. He was constantly changing clubs, looking for something better. More than once he lamented selling his Ping Eye2 irons!

    • I did read the fine print tonight. It said replace with “similar features & function”.  8 yeas ago my purchase had features that today are available on the lower end models and the current version of my model has more “bells & whistles” than what I got 8 years ago.  So I am thinking they honored the agreement and I can’t argue the offer. since getting a credit for the full purchase price all I am really out over the past 8 years was the cost of the extended warranty, which was less than a low end  treadmill would have cost me. now the question is which model to replace with.  I’ll stay with Nordic Track or I forfeit the $1,463 credit so I will get Nordic Track.  And they honored the warranty and were not hard to work with which is a plus.
    • Generally speaking, extended warranties are a terrible deal and should almost always be avoided. They are a huge profit center for the companies that offer them, which should tell you almost everything you need to know about how much value most consumers get when purchasing them.  This is correct, and the old adage applies - only buy insurance when you can't afford the loss. This usually doesn't apply to most consumer goods.  To your second question, no I don't believe the offer is fair. They are replacing it, but it is not being replaced at "no cost to you". Since the amount being disputed (over $500) is non-trivial, I would probably push the issue. Don't waste your time on the phone with a customer service agent or a supervisor. They have probably given you all they have the authority to do. Rather, I would look at the terms of your agreement and specifically legal disputes. The odds are you probably agreed to binding arbitration in the event of a dispute. The agreement will outline what steps need to be followed, but it will probably look something like this.  1. Mail the Nordic Track legal department outlining your dispute and indicate you are not satisfied with the resolution offered.  2. Open up a case with the AAA (American Arbitration Association), along with the required documentation. 3. Wait about 4-5 weeks for a case to be opened - at which point someone from Nordic Track's legal department will offer to give you the new model at no cost to you.  They certainly don't want to spend the time and energy to fight you over $500. 4. Enjoy your new Nordic Track at no cost to you. I recently entered binding arbitration against a fairly large and well known company that screwed me over and refused to make it right. In my demand letter, I made a pretty sizeable request that included compensation for my time and frustration. Once it hit their legal department, they cut me a check - no questions asked. It was far cheaper to settle with me than to send their legal team to defend them in the arbitration.
    • I never thought of looking at it on multiple purchases like you said.  Yes, the extended may help me on 1 or 2 items but not the other 5 or 6.
    • Day 84 - Forgot to post yesterday, but I did some more chipping/pitching.    Back/neck were feeling better today, so I did a much overdue Stack session.
