ping clubs online

[beggsy]

i thought ping did not allow any of there range to be sold online yet on american golf website they are advertising them

 

[hangover]

they are advvertising them but you will not be able to buy them online.

to purchase you must ring the helpline or go instore. most sites AG included advertise the products but also show a disclaimer that Ping do not allow online ordering/automatic checkout on their goods

I know of one site where if you know your spec you call them and they give you a code to stick in at the checkout part of the website.

Just out of interest, why don't PING allow their stuff to be sold online?

Are they not missing a trick?

 

[full_throttle]

i would guess to ensure that what is being sold online is not fake/replicas

 

[surefire]

Because all Pings are custom fit, so you can only order if you have been 'fitted'.

Ping were hit with a lot of fakes when they first came out and were big in the 80's and 90's and when they came back en vogue from the G5 onwards were often copied. Its their way of trying to prevent customers getting conned

Is it also to try and control prices and avoid price wars on the web? Im sure i read somewhere that this helped keep certain lines keep "in shop" such as the G15s whilst the G20s are launched. Might be wrong of course.

I suppose it stops being fitted and buying cheaper online... I quite looking at the second hand clubs on the used ping website and sometimes thinking would they be better than my current mizzys... Anyone have an opinion on who's better at custom fitting mizuno or ping?
