Hello and Thanks for viewing my guide! I hope that you find the information here helpful to you but if you have any questions about fitting that are not answered here, please feel free to email me through eBay & I will gladly answer any questions you have. I have been playing golf, teaching golf, building & fitting clubs for over 14 years now and there is nothing more pleasing to me than helping someone better their golf game & a proper fitting set of clubs will set you on the right path! Once you know everything is fitted to you, you have more confidence in your equipment & can concentrate more on your game & not be concerned about ANY issues with your clubs.
PING FITTING: The best method is to buy a set fit specifically for you, not straight off the rack at a golf shop. If you are looking to purchase a new set of PING irons or want to know what color code of PING fits you best, this is a 2 part process. You get web-fit or have a (static fitting) through their site or your local golf shop. Part 2 is the dynamic fitting that will consist of your local golf pro observing you hitting balls, your stance, and having you hit off of a “lie board”. I highly recommend this process for those who are not familiar with what club fits them the best. I also recommend doing this at an outdoor range and not hitting into a net that’s 10 feet in front of you inside a golf shop….get outside & observe the ball flight the entire way. I know of all the cool new indoor golf simulations out there & the Vector launch monitor system, I’ll discuss that in a moment, but you can not simulate being outside.
Understanding the PING color coded fitting system / OLD & NEW color charts:
Along with the lie angle within their color code is shaft length, which is measured by height & wrist to floor measurements. This is pretty accurate in MOST cases but also why you should have the static AND dynamic fitting. I'm 5'8" with 33.5 wrist to floor which indicates a red dot, "now .75 deg. flat" on the new chart & standard shaft length. I actually play orange dot, 2 deg flat, with +1/2" shafts. Hitting off a lie board (below) will help you figure this part out.
THIS IS THE NEWEST PING CHART WITH NEW YELLOW & PURPLE COLOR CODES!
