1978.0. "Ping Woods " by MOEUR8::CUSSELL () Mon Jan 23 1995 05:52

    
    There was once a time when I couldn't look at Ping woods but after
    trying them on holiday last year - I'm converted. Living in France, the 
    problem is the price. How much would a Ping Driver (Regular steel shaft, 
    black laminated wooden head) be in the States?

    Geoff,
    
    A Driver alone runs about $100-$120 US.  The set (1,3,4,5) can be had for
    around $250-$300 US.

    	still for sale.  looks to be a good deal to me.

    Hi ,
    
    	I thought I would share some very valuable information. In the
    past I have received some great tips from this file.. and now feel
    I should payback your kindness.
    
    	Buy a ping eye2 wood 5 wood. Metal shaft. Not sure if the zing is
    				     OK , I happen to pick up a used eye2.
    	Buy a ping zing wood 3 wood. Metal shaft.
    	Buy a ping zing wood 1 wood. Metal shaft.
    
    	They are by far the easiest woods I've ever hit. The 5 wood
    	can hit it as far as my Bertha 3 wood. The 3 wood can nearly
    	match the Bertha driver.
    
    	But the distance is secondary to just how forgiving they really
    	are... It's as if the club only needs to be in the vicinity of
    	the ball for it to carry the ball somewhere near the intended
    	target.
    
    	I am truly amazed... even though I tried the taylor made burner
    	and Big Bertha family of metal woods.. there's isn't any
    	comparison.
    
    	
    	Now.. maybe for me personally these clubs are the best... but
    	for you they may not be. I still feel you should give them
    	a test drive. Borrow one and see how you like it?
    
    	good luck!
    
    	Walta
