First I've heard of G20 problems. I'll have to ask my brother in laws how their G15 irons are holding up.

My old set of G15's is in my buddies bag and his still look good as well. The finish on the 20's is quite a bit different so maybe that's where they changed something in the manufacturing.

Yeah the G15 irons I believe did not have this laminate process or whatever it actually is.

Ping sent me back a generic reply.

Generic "Ugh, yes, we know, our bad, of course we'll replace it" or generic "Live with it"?

Yeah, I get to have it replaced and then I will sell them.  :-)  No more ping irons for me.

So, Colorado, Colorado, and Wisconsin ... maybe its a weather thing?

Yeah there could be something too that.  You and Mike have never had any problems if I recall correctly.

I think it's has more to do if you walk on a regular basis, at least that's what I was told.

Just with one club recently and got it replaced. No issue with the i20's or the S55's.

I haven't sent one in yet as I have two tournaments next week (Sunday, Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday). I can't send it in until after I finish playing in these and return from Washington D.C. (I head to the airport from the golf course on Thursday) so I haven't contacted PING yet about it, though I plan to contact them a couple days before I arrive so that I can just send it in immediately when I return home.

I think it's has more to do if you walk on a regular basis, at least that's what I was told.

I think I've only ridden in a cart for two or three rounds of the probably 100+ I have played with these irons since I got them last August.

Was there a reason why walking would affect it more than riding?

I bought my S55's on eBay from a guy in Washington state so I don't think it's a regional thing.

Not sure, maybe the clubs "clack" together more when you walk.

I looked at all my irons closely and it is starting on my 5 iron as well. Getting the 8 and 5 replaced and then I will be selling them. I honestly don't know how ping can keep putting this product on their irons.

So strange to find that there's such a consistent issue with PING irons like this. Sucks to hear that you keep having these issues. However, now the fun begins with finding a new set. Since you are on a completely different level than me when it comes to golf it will be interesting to see what you end up with compared to me with my fitting last night.

      PRGR Launch Monitor

      By Clemsonfan · Posted

      Is it? I bought the Stack radar to replace my PRGR based on what Stack told me! When I am swinging for speed, the PRGR would miss 50%-80% of my backswings due to a higher speed. The stack seldom misses those- at least for me.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By Clemsonfan · Posted

      As an analyst by nature, I would like to compare the scores under both systems. It is something we can easily do if we have the data. I actually thought the new system was less fair to those whose game was on the decline - like mine! Old: Best 10 of last 20 scores with the .96 multiplier. Course handicap excluded course rating and overall par. New: Best 8/20. Course handicap includes course rating -par. My understanding is Stableford caps scores at Net double bogey like stroke play. If so, handicap should be slower to rise because you are only using 8 versus 10 scores. If I am missing something, I am curious enough to  want to understand what that may be. My home course tees that I play are 72.1/154 now. My best score out here is 82. When my game started to decline, my handicap didn’t budge for 13 rounds because of good scores in my first 8! I know I am an anomaly but my handicap has increased almost 80% in the past few years (with only a few rounds this year). For a few months I knew I was losing every bet because my game was nowhere near my handicap. I suspect I have steamrolled a few nuances but that shouldn’t matter much. When I have modeled this with someone playing the same tees and course, one good round, or return to form, will immediately reduce the handicap by some amount.
