That has to be the best and most interesting "fitting" video that I've seen . Thanks to all 3 of you for your contributions to this video .So much covered in an edited down to 24 mins package . i believe i heard Sophie mention on the RS podcast that she has her own Ping fitting coming up . Look forward to that . Many thanks again .

Went over to Ping a couple of times and each has been a great experience with good feedback and great discussion points to why the fitters are recommending the clubs they are. Would love to go back again for a iron fitting after seeing this video well done Mike & Ping

I loved this video. Played for + 30 years. Still, until this day I haven't done any fitting myself. Always bought my clubs after hitting them on my own. This made me question why?! (Although I pretty sure George would have ended up with the same club if he would have bought them off the rack.) Perhaps different grip size and shaft length. Very interesting to see the process. Pretty sure I would end up with something different than the one I choose from my gut feelings. Next time I definitely going to find a good fitting center. Thanks for the help. This changed my mind! 👍😊

@maxcaysey2844 3 года назад

I was fitted for my current clubs back in 2002... I play the Titleist 690MB, 2-PW. They are all 1.25" longer, 1 degree upright... While I still like the feel and length, I would have liked 1 more degree upright... I'm not as limber as I were, and therefore would have linked a more upright club. I use jumbo sized grips and all shafts, except putter are TT Dynamic Gold S300... My woods are a Titleist 909D3 10.5 degree, 44" and a Titleist 913F3 16.5 degree 42.5"

I was fitted at Ping recently for driver and fairway woods, Paul the Ping fitter had me hitting my own hybrids (Titleist) and my own woods (Ping 4 wood), and my gapping was good and he recommended not to change. What a great experience and a competely honest and valued opinion. I bought a driver and a 3 wood anyway, and I'm very pleased with the outcome, adding between 10 and 25 yards on my distance on the course, which given that it's winter and less roll is brilliant. Thanks Paul and Ping, I'm sure I'll be back for a putter fitting, and maybe irons too? 👍

@sophiewalker2542 3 года назад

@Wanderer1202 3 года назад

Using both is the golden standard I think. TXG is a bit too enthusiastic about the optical launch monitor’s ability to extrapolate form the first few inches of ball flight to the actual ball flight. Like they do actually ball testing on a QC4 which yields pretty much nonsense results.

@stephendibari5010 3 года назад

Then one of the staff members at my local golf shop found the i500's with the exact same specs as the G710's. I wouldn't trade my i500's for anything, the best set of irons I have ever owned.

@johanmelander4521 2 года назад

I have a question regarding chasing distance in relation to trajectory and set configuration. I hit my short and mid irons really high, but sometimes struggle with peak hight with my 2-4 iron. If I would go with stronger lofts on my irons and include an extra wedge and hybrids, meaning irons 5-pw and 3 extra wedges plus one or two hybrids. Isn't it generally speaking easier to hit a stronger lofted iron which is shorter?

@JSmih7 2 года назад

Question as someone who has never been fitted before. George has been used to playing with a Silver lie angle so it makes sense that his habits will force him to continue hitting as if the club is a silver until he has adapted, however during fitting when this shows they ditch the blue lie angle? When is the right time to try to set new habits?

Time for a change of irons though, but won’t go back to Ping if they still use this which it appears they do. I doubt they will miss me anyway 🙂

@sophiewalker2542 3 года назад

We fitted using the trackman also, Mike wanted the board also to double check. We also tried out a few different lie angles as dynamic and static lie often change

@sadoldgit313 3 года назад

@@bnzstheboy6520 I got Ping G for the first time then the 410 about a year ago. Both sets needed to go back to have the lie and shaft reduced, in the case of the 410 from Green to Black, which is two steps. I am 5’5” and borderline on blue black and 0.25 inch shorter shaft. I was blocking/pulling all my shorter clubs left of target but was constantly told I would adjust. In the end, after six months, I got them adjusted and, miraculously, the pull disappeared! Credit to Ping it only cost the postage and they were very quick.

@galdessa1 3 года назад

Re watch the video, 7 yards increase in carry.

@stevedietrich8936 3 года назад

From the looks of it, the i10 7 iron standard loft was 34 degrees. The i210 power spec loft is 31.5 degrees. If these numbers are accurate, then the majority of the distance gain is due to the lower loft on the 210. However, those feel and accuracy gains (small sample size, I know) were real.

@stevedietrich8936 3 года назад

The i500 loft in power spec is 29 degrees, so the additional 8 yards above and beyond the power spec i210 is again mostly due to loft reduction. The i500 8 iron in power spec is stronger lofted than George's original 6 iron (30.5 degrees).

If you wonna change the flight look at that attack angle first. Then look at new clubs. That attack angle not really mentioned but lessons needed to change that first in my opinion

@justinstephenson9360 3 года назад

That was pretty much my first thought. If I am reading the data right (always a problem) he was averaging 0.4 degrees up. For a 7i he needs to be more like 3 degrees down. That will change the launch angle down to around 18 degree. IMO he will regret going for a power loft if he changes the attack angle. The extra carry distance is a complete illusion - the stronger loft caused that. This is not a criticism of the i210s - I play them and love them. It is just that the better use of money for the golfer in the video would have lessons to fix the attack angle and only then consider changing clubs. Bearing in my the i500 was Pings first go at a hollow bodied iron it will interesting to see what improvements are made when it is replaced

I'm kind of at a loss with all this "data" we now have in the Golf industry. My clubs are old, Adams Tight Lies, which I bought in 2006. I just started playing again after a 8-10yr break. The course nearest my home has a few Par 3's, 180-189 yds. Well, I hit my 8 iron 180-195 yds a few days ago on the 189yd Par 3 and pin high on the other 2 Par 3's which are 180yds. I can hit an easy 7 and be pin high as well. When I look that up to compare avg yardage with irons, I'm hitting my 8 in the PGA Tour range (160-200 yds)? Hold on...lol Im 58 yrs old?? So I just dropped my clubs off to get new grips (still had original ones lol) to see if that improves my game. I also had standard grips and should have been using Medium size instead. Now, my clubs obviously aren't as "forgiving" as all the new clubs, but IMO, working on a good swing is more important than using any GII's. And the reason I say this is because if you have a bad swing, and use a GII, are you really fixing anything other than letting your bad swing be hidden by that shiny new GII (game improvement iron)?
