thats alot of PING

[Benzo]

play what works!!

[BeBoP]

any detailed specs on his putter?

[Seve0992]

Doesn't the i5 have non-conforming grooves? I'm assuming his have conforming grooves though?

[N8Dawg34]

How is he a Taylormade staffer with only one product well 2 counting the bag. Thats alot of Ping though! He probably doesnt have a basement or garage full of clubs like half the people on here. Finds something that works and stays with it!

[Pert1862]

I see hime being a Ping man by next season! Sorry to see that seemore go though, they make great sticks.

Being a Ping fan and having a bag full of their clubs, i always like the idea of having more players on the Tour rep them. However, i doubt we'll see him as a Ping staffer next year as they probably don't pay as much as TMAG does.

[linkerpan]

Funny how in the Taylor Made website, in the section dedicated to Tour players, D. A. Points is nowhere to be seen. But, they show Snedeker, Stroudt and Pampling in pictures wearing hats of the competition. But already Mizuno updated the website and congratulates Siem on the victory.

[omjhd]

Surprised TM staffs him with that many competition clubs! Most TM Staffers carry only 1-2 other clubs but I guess he has a nice deal worked out! Loved that LEGO belt he was rocking too!





Now off to the garage to grab Mom's putter.....

[SoCalTitleist]

CINK was playing Ping irons also.

[JLV]

Different levels of sponsorship on tour, Points is probably on a bag and hat deal, which alot of guys are on

[KillerBgolfer]

How do the I5's compare to the i20s?

Clearly his irons have conforming grooves.

[stevemp60]

In all my years of trading,trying, buying and selling, Ping I5's were the only clubs I bought and sold twice, and I still regret selling them the second time.

Yes. Ping has made i5 irons with conforming grooves for tour play. The tour people know which sets are conforming and who has them.

[TripleGrindSole]

WRX homepage says he has a Tour AD in the fairway. Which is it?

someone correct me if I'm wrong but the only Ping pro to leave for a different OEM sponsor then return to Ping was Calcavecchia

You look at Ping's list of staffers and all have been life-time Ping pro's....I think that's their business model ....still it's interesting to see many pro's still bagging Ping's much like how Points does.....Atwal, Mayfair, Lumpy to name a few

[CosmosMpower]

Tour W's don't have conforming grooves either, must be special.

[bub72ck]

Homepage also says he was playing a Taylormade Burner fairway not a PING. Could've sworn he had a HFS in hand yesterday.

golf.com shows that he is using the tour gorge wedges. you can also see those in the bag on all the pics.

many of the non conforming clubs the pros are using are only available to the public in that way but are obviously made conforming for them.

[vanya]

I wish Ping would sell some conforming i5's. My favourite ever iron model.

you could always have a set of i5s regrooved...just a thought

[golftejas]

I'm liking the bag with the Chief Illiniwek symbol - - attaboy D.A. !!

[/quote]

I have both....i5's have a little more offset and I found i20's slightly longer. 155 vs 165 six iron for me at 86mph (could have been the shaft). I have DG S300 in i5s and CFS Stiff in i20s.

i20s are more progressive with the 4iron a little chunky and the PW more player lilke.

I often go back to the i5s (especially if it is wet out) as, like many on here, I think they are the best Ping iron ever made.

[jd findlay]

Many TM pros play irons from different companies.They have different levels of contracts.Many only are required to play the driver,plus bag and headwear.

[bifftaco]

Man do I love those i5's. I had a set and debated re-shafting or going with the G15's and went with the latter. My game is better off, but those i5's are just sweet. I just think it is cool they are still being used on tour in a winning fashion. Impressive!

Fred Couples is the only other player I can think of who played Ping & left. They do keep their players & some have never played anything else. Also the list of players over the years who have played a Ping club is like a who's who of champions.

I never played i5s but I do really like them.

[Arafel]

His Anser putter isn't BeCu, it has to be an old MnBr because of the sound slot in the bottom.
