Ping Execs working OT. Possible i59 sighting?

[Stonewalled]

Business must be good if Ping president John K Solheim is working the floor building clubs along with other executives and anyone else willing to work some OT. Impressive.

 

Ping i59 in the foreground? What ever it is looks good.

I would hope it isn't a hollow body for that model.

Don't get your conspiracy theories all fired up.  It's a G410 Crossover.

Take it you have never worked with company where upper level management will try to build rappot with their employees by ‘going in the trenches’ and doing the same work?

Does look kinda hollow in the picture, but sure hope not.

Lol, I hear ya on the  conspiracy theories. I had looked at pictures of the 410 comparing it to this picture. Maybe the lighting or my poor eyesight but I noticed a few differences. The Ping is stamped farther away from the left edge  and more centred on the 45 of the cavity. Also the font is different, more angled to the right vs straight up and down PING on the G410.  Looks like a shiny area near the toe, possibly covering the entire bottom of the club, contrasting the satin remaining area. Looks like a edge (cavity) around the top line on the back of the club , the 410 looks to be flush all the way thru. 

 

Who knows. Maybe wishful thinking like u said.

Well, I'm self employed and have employees, and work 7 days a week in my peak season. Also I'm the trench digger so I know all about building rapport. 🙂

 

Kinda cool seeing everyone in a large company building rapport, well done Ping.

Looks 410xo to me...

I don't think it's a bad thing so don't get me wrong there.  Some are going to appreciate it, some probably won't.  Some want to interact, some are just going to want to be left alone to work.  You'll never be 100% right.

Think your right, kinda makes sense. Highly doubt a new release would be just sitting in the open. Just my imagination getting the better of me.

Another clue that leads to the Crossover is all shafts in frame are graphite. (In addition to the pictures above)

My guess, production is short of employees due to Covid (it is AZ) and Ping has a production back up (I also saw a container of Ping components went overboard a month or two ago, adding to inventory problems), my guess is it is necessary to get product out the door to keep retailers/custom order customers happy. (Buddy of mine received his Ping 710 irons and Ping Glide 3.0 wedges last week that were ordered back in early November)

Whatever gets my new G425 irons here on time works for me.
