Nice. I ordered mine today and am really excited to get them. Too bad there is about two feet of snow on the ground. Boo!

I got the same as you have. How is the stopping power on full shots with the 54?

We're looking to bring them back, likely in a forum.

Works great for me, if anything they can almost spin a bit too much on full shots when they're brand new. Previously used the 52°/58° now I have the 50°/55° (bent from 56)/60°.

Weird ... I responded to this last night but I don't see it anywhere.  Usually when I forget to actually post, it'll still appear in the window patiently waiting for me.  Oh well.

Anyways, yeah, these things stop the ball with no problems whatsoever.

So I obviously really like mine and over two years later, they're still in the bag, and they're going to stay in the bag for quite some time.  However, I need to put a new grip on them and none of the stores near me (or even online ones that carry grips) seem to have the great grip this one had.  Has anyone been able to re-grip with their wedge grip?

Hmmm ... I think Ping puts their own grips (and shafts too?) on their clubs, so that might be why you're having trouble finding the replacement.

I got mine (all of my clubs, in fact) regripped with Pure Pro Midsize at the Newport Cup in September 2015.  Those grips are still going strong so if you can't find the Ping grip this one is worth a look IMO.

I've been able to find some Ping grips, just not the wedge one, at a few stores.  I figured there may be another way.  But the ones I found are generic Ping so that makes sense.

Oh well, they're still great clubs, but a new grip will be better than their "awesome grip that has been in use for over two years" grip.

Golf Galaxy used to carry Ping replacement grips. I haven't looked in a while, but check their site.

Thanks.  They have a basic grip and the putter grip online.  I think I'll end up being fine with a non-Ping grip for this.

Even PING's online store doesn't offer the Glide grips. I'd call them and see if you can get it through them direct.

      New Maxfli Forged Irons - $800!

      By M2R · Posted

      I appreciate that you have taken the time to come back and update. Based on what was previously discussed I feel like the points were; forged, feel good, price, and possibly players distance. If you like the "looks" of those Maxfli irons and if price is a major point, then going straight to the source, Maltby, might make sense. Specifically, the TS3 iron. I was looking into this myself and found some reviews: Fit2YouGolf, Lets Play Thru, and ELITE FIT GOLF. As per your update I found the Maxfli to be ~$1300 fitted the way I wanted. Where the TS3 with the same fitting and assembled by Golfworks was less than $750. I suppose the downside is to actually hit the iron you will need to get lucky and find someone in your golf circle who will let you hit theirs or order a 6 or 7 iron to test. However, the way I look at that is being equivalent to some fittings. If you like the results and buy, then the fitting is free, otherwise the price of the fitting is a sunk cost. If name brand is important, then I submit for your consideration - THE BEST OVERALL IRON of 2024...... FACT !! 😉 A bit tongue in cheek that but also, I feel some good points were discussed.
