My company is studying the actual cost difference of moving all of our sourcing to domestic. The actual costs now are not the huge difference they used to be. I think covid opened many companies eyes about how important it is to control the supply chain. Think of the competitive advantage if Ping was able to control their own sourcing right now.

They will be producing their own shafts in the US in the future.

Still hollow but the sound will be similar from the short to long irons. Looks like a slightly larger version of the i59‘s from address.

If they were they still had their own separate designs. Specific ones I remember were the 703 and ID8... there may have even been and ID8 360? I don't remember any other Golf Pride Grip like those and don't remember any made by golf pride branding or anything like that. I'd imagine this could have also stopped when they stopped manufacturing clubs in the US too. 

 

 

I know they had their own designs.  I just didn't think they had a plant making their grips.  The 703's were great.  I just wish they made a round version of them.  The Id8-360's  were also good.  Tte 360's were round. The regular ID-8's had a reminder.  My favorite Ping grips ever were the ones on the ISI's.  They had a different feel (a more "plastic" feel than normal rubber wrap grips.

Another tidbit of info I heard is stock up on the ZZ65 shafts... they are phasing them out next year and will only have stock available for Tour guys.

So when will the i500 replacements be released?

They are "scheduled" for a spring release.

What are they exactly anyway?  Kind of like a DG 120 no?  I always loved the ZZ65 feel.

Black and turquoise to be specific. You must have missed the smiley wink emoji and not picked up on the sarcasm.

Which spring? 😉

[poppman2142]

They have the same finish as the i59’s.

Do you expect them to have a domestic rubber plant? One of their biggest holdups is grips...

Pure grips are manufactured in Phoenix about 10 miles from Karsten Mfg.

So I guess the full pic was posted.  I just had to click the link apparently.   I don’t know the rules on this so I’m going to hang on to it for the time being.  You can dig on Reddit if you want to find it.  

[elwhippy]

Forged Ping equals massive price tag.

Those look REAL nice.  I hope they can come stock with the LZ, those will go directly into the bag and replace my trusty I500s.

[animalgolfs]
