New clubs driving me nuts... go on have a laugh lol

[needy]

Hi All
12 handicap player here been using Ping i5s for years but decided to change as there looking very worn out weights missing / rust etc etc so bought same spec Ping iblades and its gone all wrong
Ping iblade:-
Round 1 ripped card up after 10 holes and walked off
Round 2 - 96
Round 3 - 105
Im stood over the ball not knowing if im holding a golf club or a baseball bat

SO

Went out yesterday with my old Ping i5s and shot 84 loved every minute of it

Feel free to chuck a comment in LOL

Cheers

Whats impact/ball flight/distance like compared to your old Pings?

IBlades are not an easy club to hit. My 1 hcp mate ditched them for i500s.

 

[needy]

stinger / medium in all directions / about 20yards further each club

interesting thanks

I also play off 12 but I wouldn't go anywhere near a blade style club, they scare the hell out of me
My train of thought is, why make the game harder for yourself.

 

[Imurg]

Sell the iblades and replace with a ser of i210
Thank me later.

Lee Westwood said exactly the same in last months mag ?

I am off 6 and could not hit the iblades properly .
But I found them 10 yds shorter And very high.
Went to ping for a fitting and i210 were the nicest clubs I have ever tried.
Had them six months now and they are a fantastic club.
We’re your shafts the same?
You say same spec but shafts have changed a lot since i5.

I haven't read it, honestly ??

 

[needy]

thanks for all you replys
i bought them from a pro shop online so never tried them
the way i feel at the moment is sell them and keep using my worn out i5s they just feel so right for me

 

[clubchamp98]

I think these days with the high cost of irons.
You need to be fitted or this can happen.

 

[needy]

i didnt have a unlimited budget so i set myself £400 which is what i paid for them .... regarding the spec i made sure that i bought the same spec as i had

 

[needy]

And if you want me to chuck another bomb in i also bought a M1 (stiff) and am having a mare with that too

Love my new Spider tho LOL

 

[needy]

400 quid.
Were they 2nd hand?

yes

 

[needy]

Putter great lol
Its when you walk in the house after a round and the Wife asks " Hows your new Clubs" to my reply of " Brilliant really like them " after spending £500 on irons and driver which she went nuts about as i havent finished renovating the house yet lol

 

[needy]

shhhhhhh she might hear you lol

 

[pendodave]

Ah OK, in that case my suggestion of contacting Ping isn't valid.
Ebay or maybe the retailer will swap/trade them for another set.
Ebay the M1.

Glad you love the putter ?

I think that ping are pretty good at retro fitting their irons, so if you go through a ping pro/fitter you might get some joy.
Alternatively, cut your losses. You could probably recoup a decent chunk and use that to buy the cleanest set of i5s on eBay. Job's a good'un.
Also, I'm an 11 hcap and have shot 80 and 92 in the last week with exactly the same clubs. Sometimes we just fall off a cliff, especially if we have something in our heads.

Regarding the driver, prices are quite high on eBay at the minute, I’m selling my m2 on there, already nearly at what I paid for it last year and has another day to run. Unless you paid over the odds you should be able to recoup the outlay.

My new clubs are great, need a new body to make them work??
