Re: Clone Clubs????
hi GB
i have to disagree with you on Ping's being like a sports car! if you look at the Ping range you will find that 80% are cavity back game inprovment irons and most ping pros use the 20% s57s "sports car" irons and most handicapers use there 80% cavity back irons. you also missed out on saying Ping are the only company since the 70s to only sell there clubs only "FITTED" so insuring the high handicaper has the right clubs for his swing.
Ping were the first to use cavity back irons and heal-toe weighting and that started in the late 60s and has been copy by ever other maker over the years. does playing with pings make you play better! i think it does that why i have played Pings for over 39 years. do other makers help players games:- yes. i think they have and i think fitted clubs help even more. you only have to look at the advances in clubs in the last 40 years and look at very little diffrence in clubs form the 60s back to the 30s.
i know that if i was starting to play as a teenager again and knowing what i now know, i would get fitted with what ever make of club i happened to like.
you only have to listen to Gary Player at 74 years old talking about hitting the ball longer now than in his hay-day back in the 60s and 70s.
