  1. Can Ping change the loft of a driver like they do with their irons?
  2. I have 50(6) and need a 56. The Mizuno comes in either 56 (10) or 56 (13). How do I know what bounce to get?
  3. I currently have 20 deg hybrid (3 iron) I am looking at 4 iron replacement and found the Nickent 4DX ironwoods. But they are 23 deg. Is 3 degrees that much difference. I would prefer a 24 deg hybrid as my 4 iron.
  4. I was at the Ping Office in Phoenix and had their free fitting. I dont have all the stats about clubspeed, ballspeed, lanch angles etc. I currently hit a 10.5 driver. When I strike it well it goes 260 plus yards. But I am inconsistent with the driver. My miss is to the right but generally I can hit a mid - low shot like a line drive. At Ping they said I was not generating enough spin with my 10.5 which they said was costing me yards as the spin will add carry. They recommended at 13 deg G15 with a stiff TFC149 or 12.5 deg with reg TFC149 shaft. I demoed the 13 deg on a course I essentially ballooned every tee shot. It was straight but 10-15 yards shorter than my 10.5. I returned home went to the Ping fitter and he aggreed I needed more loft to get more spin. But after watching me hit he felt a stiff TFC 149 with a 12 deg would be sufficient. Basically saying more spin more height more carry more accuracy. Any thoughts on this?
  5. With that in mind what would you get (or what is a better wedge both performance and durability) CG15 or CG14?
  6. Can someone explain why if I hit the standard (black) iron well that when custom fit the clubs should be more up right (yellow)? what affect will that have on my shots and how much time will it take to get used too? will I be hooking or drawing everything? the thing I took away was the rep said most of my shots with the standard were close to the toe by being upright will hit the ball in the sweet spot.
  7. What difference would I notice between a Ping iron with a stiff AWT shaft and stiff Z-Z65 shaft?
  8. What factors should I consider when deciding if I go with the ping zing or ping anser putter? thanks
  9. I work in the fitness business. Trying to decide if I should go back to school for physio, chiro, teacher or a program where there are plenty of females to males in the classroom. I was advised by others not to pursue golf management courses despite my passion for golf. Time will tell.
  10. I dont have a home course, or the course I play at is covered in snow for 6 months or so a year but this place I would love to call home http://www.sunridgegolf.com/
  11. Tiger. Because is never fails to amaze me. He has taken golf to a whole new level not just with his skill and fitness but the way he has taken golf into other generations. I wasnt old enough to be into golf when Jack was around but he never did much for me. The only thing colorful about him were his pants. Player and Palmer fascinate me more than Jack. Maybe I am biased about Tiger as he uses a SQ like me.
