After reading all the positive comments online about Discount Dan and Pings, I went online to see what stytles they had and then sent them an email follow up.

Being a lawyer for 35 years, I suspect that Ping cut them off for selling below MSRP, since they replied to me that they don't carry Ping "at the moment". Doubt they will get back their account.

Is there anyone who sells genuine Ping irons at below MSRP? I had never heard of it before this thread, and figured the best I could be is save the state tax by purchasing through one of the online stores who don't have retail operations in my home state.

Thanks.

You could try Carl's Golfland in Michigan. You would have to contact them about pricing because they are not allowed to advertise the Ping prices online but all their other equipment is priced very well and I doubt the Ping equipment would be any different. They also ship for free to the Continental U.S. if you spend over 100.00 (may have been a special), and I noticed that many of the reviewers are from outside Michigan and were happy with the long distance purchase.

Well, I understand that Ping no doubt will cut off retailers who they know are selling way under price. On the other hand, if there is no knowledge as to who is making decent deals, then it really doesn't matter and you might as well buy them anywhere since the prices are the same. It's not like any particular retailer provides great compelling customer service when selling Ping irons. If you know your color code (mine has been Blue dot since 1983), not like I am getting any real value from the retail side. So, may be that is the answer. If you want Ping, you have to pay the msrp.

    • Day 10 (10 Jun 26) - Played in the midweek shootout at my home course - on aerated and sanded greens - day of trying to figure tempo to get the best roll on the greens.  Approach game was decently solid as was shots off the tee.  
    • Ok, I'm trying to find a feel to hit a consistent ball flight (irons).  My current predicament.  1. I try to do the arms down stuff better, with the club feeling like it is way behind me more. It's just a cluster of results. Most of the time, I can't get any speed on the swing. If I get my arms down faster, I just throw them out.  2. I focus all my attention on turning better. Pushing off with my left leg and getting my right side through better. On the DTL view, this doesn't produce anywhere close where the hands and club should be. The result is usually ball first contact, lower ball flight, more centered contact.  At this point, I am going with option 2. Stop thinking about what the hands do. Just make a shorter backswing, keep it wide, turn through. Somehow, the club head finds the ball. My focus is so much on just making sure I turn, it's like, "Oh, that contact was better.... Oh, that bell flight looks playable." If not, I will just be practicing my entire summer.       
    • Nope, they spent too much money. They are in over 28 million on the football roster and related NIL compensation at this point. Boosters associated with any Texas college football team has HUGE sway. The AD is between a rock and a hard place. They put a lot of money into Sorsby, at the chance of winning a NC this year. If you move on, you basically wasted a lot.  This is why Ohio State wants 3 QB's they feel can start. That is why the backups the past 5 years at some point transfer. Texas Tech has no backup near the quality of Sorsby. If they move on, they are screwed for 2026. 
    • Maybe there's something I still don't understand about the situation. Wouldn't Texas Tech do itself a favor to move on from Sorsby at this point?      
    • Day 281 6-10 Full swing, fast, getting low point ahead of "towel".  Working on flow during this seems to help.
