Please don’t ask to see my tatts 👍
So the other week I was blinded by the natural beauty of the Ping 525i. Just happened to coincide with my birthday so after having a few quid in pressies and the thought of selling my Ping G Max I thought I am going back to Ping Gainsboro for another fitting. I have been before, loved the experience and off I went.
So I was met by Adam who measured me and off I went hitting a few looseners. Suffice to say I was proper bogged off hitting a 7 iron into a 20-30 mph head wind. I few I hit well by my standards and a few quite frankly were rammel. I then picked up the Ping 525i and what was quite apparent was the difference in forgiveness. A bad shot really was a bad shot. After hitting a few more with different shafts there was not much difference. I hit a few with the 425 and the thing that struck me straight away was I never really noticed the difference at address between the 525i and the 425G. The main difference being the forgiveness.
What was blatantly obvious was my swing was rammel. On all the clubs and shafts I used, my swing speed. Angle of attack, swing path, club face, hitting out of the toe was nigh on identical. It was shocking. The difference between my current clubs and any new clubs was 4 yards further with a pocket nigh on £1,000 lighter. I didn’t need telling, but Adam told me. Contrary to Forum opinion ? new clubs are not the answer.
I mentioned about how I had had a few lessons over the last couple of years yet both pros showed me a different swing.I tried showing him an older swing and ironically hit my best of the day. We had a play with my driver and exactly the same.
Suffice to say but I was proper bogged off. But more to do with my shocking swing than the experience.
That said, once more I loved the 75 minute session. For £25 it was a fantastic one on one. As Adam said “ sort out your swing, hit it in the middle and the effort you are putting in will increase your distance”. It was the truth.Far better than get these for £1,000. Finally he did say find a pro you like for lessons and stick with him.
The hunt for a decent swing goes on.
Many Thanks Adam and Ping.
