What do people have against PING?

[richy]

Im a ping fan, however when I tried the G15 irons I couldnt help but think they looked clumpy. The results were good but I also got the same results from better looking clubs.

You have to like what you're looking at!

I'm prepared to believe Ping make good(ish) clubs - just can't understand why they leave the casting flash on them

Because they are made of some alloy that is so flipping hard it is impossible to remove.

The new forged Ping irons are a trifle,... how can I put this....delicate

It was only a small stone

You'd still hit that twice as good as a whole Titleist iron

Quick go back to where that broke because the only substance known to man thats harder than a ping iron is diamond, and it must have been some size to do that.

Just not as good as Titleist.

I find Ping stuff a bit odd. Not the recent woods but certainly the irons. I like the brand I guess, and would love to get into their stuff but it never seems to happen.
I tried the irons endlessly in the past and never took to any of them. Every time a new model came out, I'd be in the range shop asking to test a mid-iron and would take it back within 10 minutes.

Having said all this; a G15 driver is on my radar.
Then again, every driver is on my radar, in fact, I plan to start a sanctuary for drivers.
The only one that won't be found grazing in my paddock is my Callaway FT-3 which IS going sooner or later.

I had a G5 driver b.t.w. great club, wrong shaft.

Nothing really, just winding up some of the Pingers who think they are a bit special.

We are.. We support a maker that exceeds at everything it makes, unlike any other.

Saying that, Id hate to see commando (remember them?) make irons! they would be like comedy rubber clubs, not pretty and dont go very far.
