    Ping has set the bar pretty high in dynamic fitting. I hear that other OEM's and getting close. I'm anxious to see what comes out.

    same here thanks, i've heard it described as a "swollen thumb" and i think that's spot on. even in person, their looks along make me walk right by them. don't know if that's fair or not, just the truth.

    haha! i mean, it's a bit unfair, but looks go along way in the club game. like i said, i'm not sure i'd even demo it based on looks alone, especially when there's so much competition out there. might be something that should be addressed.

    PING's fitting system is amazing to witness, and experience. Even if you're not seriously considering PING gear, I strongly recommend going through the process, you may change your mind. Their customer service is amazing as well.

    I can't hit the ball with the G15 hybrid, it just feels awful. I've got a bag full of PING gear, and love my G10's. They took a huge leap backward on this one.

    I haven't hit the i15 yet, so no feedback there.
    I like to think of myself as a student of the game... it's just too bad that I'm in special ed.
