The Sound of Ping!

WHOOOOOOSSSSSSHHHHHH; PING! I love the sound of swinging a golf club. I love golfing. But I have a little problem. All my clubs are too short! (get it, a little problem) I have always thought that I would be more consistent if I but had clubs that would fit me. My swing would be more consistent and I would hit the ball straighter and longer. So I set out on a journey to get measured for clubs.

I first looked at clubs online and how they rated. I also did some online fitting at ping's website. Then, Steven and I went out to swing a few clubs and see how they felt. We went to Uinta Golf. It was a lot of fun to swing, swing, swing and have their computers measure how far the ball went and how straight. Steve loves the feel of ping. I kind of liked the cobras. The cobras were a bit longer than the pings too.

Next we went to Utah Golf, or something like that, down in Springville. We swung a few more clubs and then signed up for a semi-professional club fitting with some ping representatives.

I must say I was...disappointed. They didn't have the length of shaft needed to fit me. They asked me which club felt best when hitting but the clubs they had me swing with were to short. so I bladed it every time. The guy didn't seem to understand how to fit someone as big as me. It was a big let down. I think that Steven had the same experience as me.

In the end, I still want some custom clubs but now I want to get fitted by a real professional. I also think that I want the Wilson Staff Ci7 clubs. They were rated very high. I might also consider the cobras I tried. Here's to wishful thinking and the knowledge that I won't be getting new clubs anytime soon.
