Mostly Ping WITB (with some comments)


Recommended Posts

I have been a Ping fan for a long time, probably because I always wanted my dads Eye 2s.  I was lucky enough to be on staff with Ping when I was a club pro, so that didn't hurt.

I also do not like "Brand Headcovers". My driver is an iliac Headcover with my 2 boys name on it, my fairway and hybrid head covers are Seamus.  Still haven't found a putter headcover I like.

Ping Hoofer stand bag and because old age sucks and so do my shoulders I have a Clickgear 3.5 push cart.

I don't hit the ball very far (driver swing speed is 100-102) but I am straight and know that's how I need to play the game, so I put an emphasis on clubs that I know where they are going.

Driver: Ping G400 LST 10.5 set at 9.5 with Rogue Silver stiff shaft  (I have played Ping Drivers for a while,  I have been fit for other drivers that could get me an extra 5-8 yards but when I get on the course I don't know where they are going.  So I stay with Ping on this club)

Fairway: Callaway Rogue Sub Zero 15* Project X EvenFlow Blue 6.0 (I tried to find something better but can't so it stays, this was actually a buddies club, I hit it a few times and he never got it back)

Hybrid: Callaway Apex 18* Kuro Kage Stiff shaft (this could change, stay tuned)

Hybrid: Callaway Apex 23* Steelfiber i95 Stiff shaft (just reshafted this to the Steelfiber from the stock Kuro Kage. Just want a little more control and, honestly, I like to tinker)

5 iron: Ping i500, Steelfiber i110 stiff, brown dot, standard loft

6-PW, UW: Ping i210, Steelfiber i110 stiff, brown dot, power spec lofts.  (These are a good mix of distance and accuracy.  I have played ping irons forever and they just work for me, have tried other irons at fittings but nothing matches as well for me as these irons)

Wedges: Glide 3.0 54* and 58*, Dynamic Gold X100 soft stepped (8 iron shaft in my 54 and 58.  This helps me control my trajectory and spin, its made a world of difference in my wedge game)

Putter: Ping Nome TR, 34.25" Orange Dot (2* flat).  This has been in the bag since it came out, I have tried others but I putt best with this putter.

Enjoy the pictures

Very nice set up

Thanks.  I am pretty happy with it, the only club in danger of losing its spot is the 18* hybrid.  Just want a little more forgiveness from that spot.

Nice set up. Whats the issue with the 18* Hybrid that has it on probation? Maybe too tight a gap with the 3-wood?

Since you're already a Ping guy, the G410 hybrids have a lot of pop and they are adjustable so you can really dial in your gaps.

But hey, you're a +.5 and I am a lowly 7.4.  So I will follow your lead!

Nice set up. My G400 Max is a "pry it out of my cold dead hands" club. I have a PXG 3 wood with an Even Flow Blue shaft and love it.

From one Ping fanboy to another, cheers. And I did game your Dad’s Eye 2’s. Easily the longest lasting iron in my bag - 15 plus years :)

It’s perfect for gapping but it’s not the most forgiving and could use a little more height off the deck. We will see I just ordered a G410 hybrid.

That’s how I feel about my G400 LST. It’s point and shoot for me

Cheers! I almost pulled a trigger on a set on EBay. Just for fun I would love to have a set and go out and play

Do it - just use one extra club - the last time I played with mine was four years ago - sadly I traded them in on the G30’s that I currently game - they have steel fibers too - lighter than yours - those shafts are all the rage among the mini tour players at my club BTW

I love the shaft, its light but same ball flight as Dynamic Gold, and the joints feel a lot better after a driving range session!
