Ping iWI Anser Putter
Moveable weights In clubs which famously are In Taylormade’s leading r7 series drivers have now entered the market In the putter form. Pings new flat stick range ‘iWI’ feature interchangeable weights In the sole of the club. I think this Is a great Invention. Players can find the correct weight combinationation In the head to suit their set up and stroke. A possible nine different weight combinations can be made as long as you buy the seperate weight kit. Left handers will be happy with Ping. Not only Is the iWI anser putter available In a left handed model, the rest of the iWI series Is available In the left handed model as well.
Personally I didn’t like the putter. I didn’t like the feel of It. The pick up felt too heavy for me. Personally, I like a balanced feel putter. Neverless, people who like a heavy feeling blade putter which Is good to create a stable putter face would like this putter.
Ping Black Nickel Tour Wedge
This wedge Is a very versatile wedge. Many shots become playable with this wedge. Bunker shots a great with this club. The ball flight Is more penertrating than most wedges which Im undecided about. If there’s a resonable amount of green to work with or you hitting from further out of the green, this wedge works well. However, I found flop shots In close to the green (for instance pin tucked in close behind a bunker), with no green to work with (especially playing on hard, fast greens) became hard to get close. Neverless, these shots are hard to knock In close as It Is. The penertrating ball flight Is good on windy conditions as the ball will not balloon up In the air. I can see this wedge being Ideal on links style courses.
This wedge can produce alot of spin which Is a big plus. There Is also a variety of loft/bounce options which makes It more likely everyone can find the perfect wedge to suit their game. This Is excellent as some of the other top leading wedge brands produce a limited variety of loft/bounce options.
Ping Rapture V2 Irons
Maybe Im a bit old-school but I hate huge cavity, mega-oversized golf clubs which these clubs are. However, they are easy too launch up off the ground. What Ping have done Is made there Irons at a stronger degree of loft than what convenional Irons have. As they are easy to launch, more distance can be added to the club with a higher launch angle than normal. These are a very forgiving Iron as well. The price of these Irons seems unreasonable. MSRP: $165 for the steel shafts seems way to expensive for these Irons. MSRP: $195 for graphite shafts is in the same boat. Money wasted buying these clubs. There are better Irons out there for a cheaper price.
