Ping G10 Driver Review
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION:
Ping’s driver line is one of the respected lines in the world. Its G10 is the clear winner when it comes to covering distance. The result is an additional 15-25 yards along with great accuracy. It swings better than the other clubs and has a wonderful TCF 129 D stiff shaft. It has a very traditional look and is straighter than the Genex, but not as straight as the other squarish drivers. Its slightly longer shaft is designed to have its weight deeper and farther in the back to launch the ball farther and with less spin. Therefore, it helps decrease backspin on drives and gives more boring flight with plenty of roll.
Something special to the G10 is its larger profile. The club head is 460cc, like most other drivers these days, but the profile is deeper and allows for a greater margin for error. The club shape drives all energy produced and sent by the player to the shot; very little energy will be wasted. The club shape just looks great in general; smooth and dark black paint, square face angles give rise to a very appealing driver.
The Ping G10 gives a lively, yet low sound upon impact; a solid, yet exciting hit. Be careful, though. Ping Golf has designed this driver to launch the ball a bit higher than the loft degree would have people expect.
PROS:
The good news is you don’t have to over swing since you get very good distance on off center hits and it stays on line. The G10 is great for accuracy and distance. The Ping G10 is a technologically advanced driver with an emphasis on Moment of Inertia (MOI) and Center of Gravity (CG), two things needed for power off the tee.
CONS:
The G10 is slightly longer than the standard drivers due to the slightly longer shaft. Make sure you don’t overswing with this club or the longer shaft will punish you. While this might take some getting used to, those who master it might be able to milk the benefits.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
Ping has certainly produced a fantastic driver, a super-upgraded G5 of sorts. This driver is recommended for pro and amateurs alike. After some getting used to, you’ll be able to launch far, high, and straight down the middle with the latest in the Ping G line It is definitely recommended that the customer try out the driver first; you might not be used to such high launching at the same loft degree.

Having your stuff organized and handy may not be the secret to better golf, but it definitely improves the golfer’s attitude. This is especially true if you travel with your golf clubs. Knowing that your clubs are safe and sound is truly important, and the realization that you’ve got a place for all that you need. Travel Golf Bags and Covers With lots of makes and features to choose from, you can find the right golf travel bag and cover for your needs. Whether you’re a basic kind of golfer who just wants to make sure the clubs are secure, or if you’re one of those linksters who needs room for a cooler in your golf bag, there are a variety of durable, convenient golf travel bags to choose from. Combos: The Easy Way You can get the best of both worlds by choosing a combination golf travel bag/carrier combo: they’re designed to weigh about the same as a regular bag, and they make for easier travel and less bulk to packYou can order them with wheels which makes it easier to get around the airports, or over to your golf cart. They have many different designs that you can choose from including ones that are padded and reinforced with cloth to sleek metal designs. If you are looking for a piece of luggage that is convenient and multifunctional, then the right choice for you will most definitely be the combo golf travel/carrier bag. Golf Travel Bag with Cover: Familiarity Breeds Comfort Some golfers like the way they have their bag set up though, and don’t see any reason why they should take everything out and repack it for a trip. In that situation, adding a durable bag cover or case to your equipment makes a lot of sense. These are designed so you can just put your travel bag inside of them, close all of, and take off out of town. You can buy models that have wheels, as well as models that are uniquely designed to save space by featuring “hideaway” construction that will make it easier to find a place for when it’s not in use. Think about What You Need If you don’t travel very much, it probably doesn’t make sense to spend lots of money on a travel case or high-end golf travel bag. However, when you consider what you’ve invested in your clubs, shoes, and other gear (not to mention all those lessons, right?), you won’t want to skimp on protection for your investment. Take your time to check out all your options, think about how often the bag is going to be used, and take it from there. Read more on Titleist golf

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION:
The Adams Idea TEch A40S is an exceptional hybrid golf club and marries performance with forgiveness. It has two tungsten weights ports in the sole which gives the advantage of more inertia and therefore increased power in your swing and it also moves the weight to the back and lowers the centre of gravity of the club face. The steel face helps the ball speed for those who don’t have the most powerful swing get those extra yards without sacrificing accuracy as it provides more top spin when driving down the fairway. It can also be used to increase the backspin to help when approaching the green.
For a player who is looking to improve their skills and is willing to put some effort into achieving that goal, the Adams Idea Iron is a great product. It’s designed for players with a medium handicap through to the best players in the world.
For the medium handicap player to the best tour players in the world, the Adams Idea Tech a4 Iron is very forgiving. The forgiveness shows all the way through the forged irons as well. This is due to the weight of the club being very low which increases Moment of Inertia and therefore reducing twisting upon impact of off centre hits. It also includes a four-way cambered sole which reduces ground interaction to hit the ball sweeter than ever and acquire a more consistent round score. With Adams Golf patented Quad Cavity design and the Forged stabilizer bar which sets the mass behind the point of impact, you can be sure that the feel and feedback of the iron is spot on. Simply put, the Adams Idea Tech a4 Iron delivers the ultimate feel.
This club set had just as much tinkering by the design team to make these Hybrid Irons look as exceptional as they perform
PROS:
Excellent feel and performance.
CONS:
Some players have complained about ‘lacking’ confidence when using this iron.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
Recommended for all golfers.

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION:
The Ping iWi Anser putter takes advantage of a system of interchangeable weights to offer a club that can be easily customized to suit a golfer’s need on any particular day.
The club head weight for the Ping iWi Anser is 345 grams, on the light side of the iWi putter series (the iWi Craz-E is the heaviest at 370 grams). Two removable 12-gram steel inserts come standard, and an optional weight kit can be purchased that offers two 20 and 28-gram weights that can be inserted in their place with the provided wrench. That’s a big asset for those who want a heavier putter, or for those who find that they need extra heft on a particular day to keep the club head straight. .
A two-piece insert encases a stainless steel in an elastomer to add a softer feel. But aside from all the technology, the club looks like the classic Pings of old. It has the popular plumbers-neck hosel and a heel-toe balance that help golfers get a good look at the ball and balance the club through impact, and it performs like anyone would expect from the company that’s been one of the biggest names in golf for the past 50 years.
PROS:
Interchangeable weights to suit a golfers needs at any time, even in the middle of a round. Gives a heel-toe balance that helps golfers.
CONS:
None.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
Anyone needing a quick adjustable putter on the go.

Chip with Your Putting Stroke Take a lofted club like a 7-, 8- or 9-iron and grip it like your putter to avoid chunking or skulling your chip shots.
