    <p>The Pings look unreal (very important, if you can't play, at least look the part) and get great reviews. Don't think i have ever swung a Ping club though. </p>

    I switched all my gear to Ping when I picked up a five iron. Straight away before I had hit a ball, I could feel how balanced it was. Awesome feel to them.

    <p>Never really used ping golf gear but dad still uses the old ping zings and loves them. His golf is fairly shithouse though!</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>Would advise to go steel shafts as well, at least for the irons. Woods I prefer graphite.</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>Tried the xhot and the rocketballs when I was looking for new irons and preferred the rockballz out of the 2. They were easy to hit but I couldnt shape them. Having said that, they were the rocketballz irons (which are game improvement irons so quite forgiving) and not rocketbladez which I think are aimed at the better golfer?</p>

    <p>need to do more than hit a few balls with them on the range, I always hit someone elses clubs (mates or Pro Shops) better than mine, but if you can, get out on the course with them too and dont rush the decision.</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>While the old saying a bad craftsmen blames his tools, if you get it wrong at your level (nearly awesome I assume? ;)) it can have a big impact.</p>

    <p>yep, nearly awesome is a good description (both nearly and awesome are vague enough to make it sound accurate)</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>I won't rush it, it's a pretty significant outlay. </p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>JK i thought it was the other way around with the Taylormades? I am definitly not looking for those player irons. And shaping the ball is not on the radar either. I am looking to improve my 2nd shot, which is what is killing my score at the moment. And by improve, hitting it straighter is the main one. Sick of getting my length right and dropping it a couple of metres off the side of the green, for a fucking annoying length chip shot</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>i think my mate has a set of Pings from last year i might have a crack with. </p>

    <p>Just had a look and I think you are right, the RocketBladez fit in to the game improvement irons category. The better player ones are RocketBladez Tour and the max game improvement ones are RocketBladez Max.</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>The ones I tried were RocketBallz - so non blade version</p>

    <p>Golf balls are so damn expensive and there is nothing more upsetting than opening up a new ball only to hack it into the rubbish.  I haven't played regularly for a couple of years due to the young CF jnrs, but I used to buy pre-loved balls off this website.  The quality was good</p>

    <p>ha, I played in a pairs tournament a few years back, and the round on Sunday morning was alternate shots, we'd been using my golf balls (was using Bridgetone B330) and he just couldnt get the feel of them, so on about the 5th hole he pulled out a new Pro V, that I proceeded to hit over the fence into the bush on it's 2nd hit, I then did the same to the next ball he pulled out after 3 more holes...he fell to bits and we used my one for the rest of the round :)</p>

    <p>playing a corporate day tomorrow, with the bank. always a good one this one. </p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>Haven't played for more than a month, so went for a swing at the range at lunch time. I fucking sucked! shanks, worm burners, slices, and pulls, the full spectrum of shit. suddenly i can't even hit my driver?! tomorrow might suck, so i will just hook into the piss with a bit more gusto. hope a couple of the hole sponsors have bikini girls like last year. </p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>fuck golf</p>

    <p>I always find a rough session at the range makes me actually focus better when it comes to playing real golf the next day. Otherwise I can turn up a bit too casual and start smacking the ball over fences and shit.</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>You'll be right. And as you say, can always hook in to the piss/bikini girls.</p>

    Playing like a fluffybunny. Surprisingly it's my much maligned irons saving me. Beers are great though, and some tidy bikini girls

    My handicap has gone out from 14.3 to 16.9 in a month, very frustrating . I feel that I can play to a 12 at my best but am probably a year away from that level.<br>
    Played qualifying round for our club champs yesterday, playing to my handicap until a fucking 12 on a short par 4 . 3 OB's and one into the hazard. Get one more chance next week.<br>
    I use Srixon z star driver ,3&5 wood .have got Ben hogan irons. I use Srixon Qstar balls 4 dozen for $99 at the golf warehouse . <br>
    It's a frustrating game as I am in my 2nd year of playing and have really levelled out.

    Onewhero golf club, a very scenic country course 25 minutes from Pukekohe ,over the Waikato river.<br>
    Before I sold my business, I was playing at least 3 times weekly and shooting in the 80's every time,now started new job<br>
    Playing 1-2 at best and feel like I'm a stranger with my swing.it will go out further as a lot of low scores re dropping off.
