here's the shortlist below - sorry to those who were on but didnt make the final 4

it wont be a shock to know we are looking to fit those selected into one of PINGs 4 current iron models so looking for a good spread of hcaps. other factors were current irons used (anyone with a very new set was dicounted), not having been custom fitted before was an advantage as was struggling with an issue that we feel the current PING range can help with.

user history also taken into account!

Aaaaargh - not wanted something this bad since entering a competition to win a puppy when I was seven

Seriously - next week I'll have the money for my new set of Ping irons and I'm going to ask to try out that second hand K15 driver they have at the range as well - so club wise I'm not bothered.

Really wanted the experience though, you can't buy that.

Nice to have made it as far as the final 20 and been considered (though not sure if I would rather have known or not ☺)

Always next time.

Mikes op said it would be an opportunity for 4 forummers.

Some don't post for years but still have the cheek imo to apply for a great opportunitys,
but give absolutely nothing to the forum,but still make the shortlist.

I havent ringfenced any places for subscribers yet - earliest this would happen is the summer

Also never ever said you have to have made loads of posts in order to get selected - always keen to reward good quality loyal posters who fit the criteria but I wont ever make opportunities a closed shop for prolific posters

hence why we try to pick some stalwarts and some newbies/occasional posters

A chance for us all... That's good to know Mike, as I'm sure others are the same as me where you check the forum and good few times a day/week depending on work, but normally hours after the last comment on the post and it feels you have missed the boat on adding anything of real benefit to the post.

I guess my MP58's are classed as very new then, considering I have never been custom fitted and have just passed the 1000 post mark. Didn't even make the shortlist!! :rant:

Oh well, always next time I guess

I've just been back over your application

the info you supplied about your current iron play didnt really tell me anything - it basically said it was OK but you thought it could be better with a custom fit. your then stated your weaknesses were a pull or a slice - thats a technique (coming across the line) not equipment issue

contrast that with some very indepth submissions from others and that gives you an idea why you didnt make the shortlist on this occasion

before anyone else asks sorry thats the last bit of individual feedback I'm giving but rest assured I read every application and give it proper consideration

At least you still have four friends on here Mike.:whistle:

Just shows what a great opportunity this one was, and how disappointed some forumers are to miss out.
