I have been given such an amazing opportunity to visit PING on the cusp of releasing a HUGELY anticipated lineup and wanted to brief everyone on my current relationship with PING...

I first started playing golf when I was 12 and my first set of irons were the eye2's, they were great and really helped me get hooked into the game of golf. After that the Ping ISI driver came out and you were not a cool golfer if it wasn't in the bag. I remember mine very clearly, it was a 10* RUD Stiff, I absolutely bombed it! After that I couldn't help but play Ping Golf clubs, my next set was the i3+ blades and they were also great. Because of my love for the game I followed suit and started working in the golf retail world. As of today I am a fitting specialist and take pride in getting people set up with clubs that work for them. I enjoy what I do and seeing people improve because they have the right clubs in front of them brings a smile to my face. Right now I am playing a full bag of the latest ping equipment (Rapture V2 Driver & FW, i10 irons, tour-w wedges) and am playing golf better than I ever have.

With PING releasing their new lineup of G15 and i15 clubs in a few weeks (August 17th Release Date) I wanted to know as much as I absolutely could about the new lineup. After talking with some great people I am now set to fly out to Phoenix the week of August 2nd and visit PING. During the visit I am planning to get fit for full new bag of PING's latest clubs. I will also be talking with Fitters and Engineers to learn as much as I possibly can about the newest Ping lineup. I will be documenting my trip the entire way from the moment I fly out of O'Hare Airport until I leave Sky Harbor Airport. Because I will be documenting this and taking notes of everything I learned, I wanted to get everyones feedback before I leave. I wanted to know what you would like me to ask or learn about while being out at PING. I have a long list already but am curious what others in the golf world would like to know. I'm open to suggestions and can't wait to hear from everyone!

Back from the Trip! To say it was awesome would be the understatement of the century! There is sooo much to cover that I'm going to need a full day to gather together everything that occurred during my trip. Until then I'll leave you with two teasers...

-I'm calling it now the G15 Hybrid should be renamed "Game Over." This thing is the real deal and all of the other hybrids in the industry are going to be jealous of this one! It's high, straight, and longer than any hybrid I've ever hit before.

-The Ping Fitting VIP Fitting Bay is one of the coolest places to try out new clubs. The facility there is outstanding and the staff is top notch. Cannot say enough great stuff about these guys!

Will be back soon with the FULL Run-Down...
