  Hope there will be some update before Christmas or I have to leave PING as main partner.

  Hoping for something good in 2014

  Hoping for something good in early 2015, indeed. Times are good now, any update will be fine.

  An update (or several) to fix all their "issues" would be warmly welcomed ...

  Thank you Haze.

  Hope the same to for your Cally irons, feel confident mate but we should not delude ourselves for this product. They always do what they really want, for them and for us.

  Would need a breath of fresh air, feel Ping entangle.

  Ok, I'm on my way.

  I know I can have a quality jump on leaderboards if I will update my clubs, I know it's possible just because I'm using this middle class clubs with excellent performances, scores and wins but I want and I need to change without left PING products.

  At that moment it seems not possible so, sadly, I will wait a couple of weeks yet then I'll go to reforge my clubs. At that moment too this G30's will look old so it's a very tough decision for a mediocre player like me.

  Any suggestions will be appreciated.

  David

  I know your pain . I had the same problem once because I loved the Ping line of clubs . I had the Raptures then the mid level G20s and then the 83+ G20s . But you can only go so far with them . I hated having to give them up to improve my game more and become a better player .

  The plus for you is that you are at a level where the pro shop is yours for the taking . Whatever you want its yours , all of the top clubs are at your disposal . So I suggest that you go for the top shelf gear and be done with it . You can have the same meter speed  from driver to irons and wedges 3 wood included for a consistent meter . What more could you ask for other than a new set of Ping clubs .

  So keeping that in mind you cant go wrong but you will have to give up the Ping line if you want the best results .So after saying all of that I would go ;

  Big Bertha L96+ driver L 97+ 3 wood

  Nike L 100+ Irons

  L 96+ Versa putter

  You can also invest in the new Cleveland wedges and have a 3.5 meter speed all the way across the board not including the putter . That will pretty much do you to level 200 by then no telling what new clubs will be added to the game . Have fun play well and good luck with your game .

  It's not pain dude, it's a simple consideration to waste money for something good.

  I'm no longer concerned with Callaway irons here,  I switched to Ping Irons for this upcoming season (G20's)  G25's felt good when I tried them out, but found a deal on G20's I couldn't pass up and didn't see much of a difference in them (IRL that is).

  Would be cool to see them (G30's) here, with improvement this time over the G25's since they perform much better in real life, meaning a more decernable difference than that of the G25's over the  G20's.  

  I see myself gaming the G30's in the next season and playing the clubs here at WGT that I play in real life was always my reason behind pushing/wanting the Cally irons in the first place.  Same as the yellow cally ball,  it's what I play IRL and makes it more fun for me to play it here.

  But now I'll be playing the Chrome soft yellow (yellowsoft?)  ;-)

   

   

  Here's some info I found online between the G25's and G30's

  Results of our independent testing
  For our testing we used our Trackman launch monitor, Bridgestone RX330 golf balls, a 6 handicap golfer that plays once a week with an above average club head speed. We compared the G25 to G30 seven iron, +1/2 inch, and two degrees upright. After a warm up period, four shots were recorded.

  Baseline Data for the G25 seven iron

  Club Head Speed	Ball Speed	Carry Distance	Offline	Total Distance
  86.4 mph	115.7 mph	160.1 yards	5.1 yds right	164.8 yds
  88.7 mph	115.8 mph	161.2 yards	36.3 yds left	167.4 yds
  89.1 mph	118.1 mph	169.9 yards	10.0 yds left	180.2 yds
  88.1 mph	116.4 mph	160.7 yards	14.6 yds right	165.1 yds

  Next, we had our tester hit four more shots with the new G30 using the same Trackman launch monitor and golf balls. The results speak for themselves.

  Data with the G30 seven iron

  Club Head Speed	Ball Speed	Carry Distance	Offline	Total Distance
  89.3 mph	120.9 mph	171.2 yards	1.8 yds left	177.3 yds
  88.5 mph	118.9 mph	167.9 yards	2.0 yds right	175.1 yds
  88.5 mph	117.3 mph	181.8 yards	12.3 yds right	203.9 yds
  90.0 mph	121.1 mph	169.8 yards	16.0 yds right	175.0 yds
