Good option if you can get them is the Titleist Tour Distance - Costco used to do them and you can pick up some on Amazon Slightly firmer than a ProV1x (my preferred choice in summer or abroad) and a good balance / much better than all the cheaper Titleist range in my opinion £19 for 12 I...

Me too - weekends best anytime March / April good Cheers Barum

Yes through my pro. He was happy to do another fitting but I am just curious to go through the process at Ping after making some swing changes

Yes I did - he thought it was worth it for me as I have been making some changes to the swing recently

Going up next week for a fitting in Gainsbrough - usually my Pro who is a Ping stockist measures me up but thought I would try and get it done by Ping as they have every possible shaft and lie angle to try out. You can book a half hour or 90 minute session and it costs 20-30 depending on which...

Yes had the R11 then read when the R11S came out that anyone with a R11 wouldnt notice that much and there was not much point trading up. I tried a R11S on the off chance (I loved my R11) and changed it straight away (Mrs BB not amused) - more foregiving, easier to hit and bigger head just...

If you have a spare set of Golf Shoes and socks that always helps - good supply of fruit and water - I find myself flagging a bit on 31-36 and all that hard work can be undone by lack of energy and concentration

Will be up in Manchester next week and looking for some recommendations on places to play. Need to be fairly close to centre as I have a number of meetings and work to do but hoping to slip out for a quick 18 Any recommendations welcome

Played there on Friday 1.6 - Codrington course in good condition. I thought it was a good challenge and really enjoyed the layout. Golf purists may say it is a little "manufactured" but I wouldnt! Thought it was excellent. May be a little wetter after this weekend. If I had a criticism it would...

I have had a succession of Ping Tour W and S wedges and am currently using ANSER wedges - love the feel and personally prefer them to Vokey. I particularly like my 58 Tour S (TS) Twin Sole which offers different bounce angle depending on open : close face at address.

Hi plenty of good courses I have been going for 15 years In and around VM Must Old Course (take HC cert) San Lorenzo (expensive but class act) Millenium (good mix of old and new) Pinhal (nice starter) If you have a car get down the N125 30 mins and get to Amoendeirra and play O'connor...

New swing changes and putting have resulted in a pulled muscle last Sunday in a comp - very painful and no golf for over a week now!! Any decent exercise / recovery videos or advice? Had the sports massage to loosen up on Thursday but has not improved or got better in a week now - Cheers Barum

I couldn't go but the better team won on the day. We are trying to get a fans golf society going and hopefully tie into some away trips next season Should be interesting let's just hope we are away at premier league clubs! Barum

We are organising a bluebirds golf day in Cardiff in June - message me for more details if you are a fan and interested in playing. Tidy like! Barum

Yes I have got a set. Really like them - they feel great , look great and are better than the I15's I would say 5-10% more distance - not much between them so its a lot of dosh for not much more basically - if you like Ping and your golf though..... Barum
