In our forums, our members have been discussing the equipment change that made the biggest impact on their scores. WRXer ‘Vater’ kicks off the thread saying:

“But in the past few years, I’ve been more honest with myself and made changes like getting rid of my four iron in favor of a hybrid among 3-4 other changes.

If you had to pick one thing, e.g. using a 4/5 wood instead of a 3 wood, using lighter/graphite shafts, putting more hybrids into play, etc. – what would you say has made the most positive impact on your score?”

And our members have been sharing their game-changing changes in our forums.

Here are a few posts from the thread, but make sure to check out the entire discussion and have your say at the link below.

fixurpitch: “Finding the right putter. Finally found one that I have full confidence in. I approach each putt now believing I have a chance to make it. Don’t get me wrong. Switching to graphite iron shafts has been a big help. So has a 7 wood in the bag. But I’d swap every iron, wood, and ball in the bag to keep the putter.”
Midway Nole: “Moving to lighter steel shafts in my long irons. They’ve allowed me to hit down more, increasing spin and shortening rollout. I’m a picker, and I’ve been fighting 3-6 iron since high school. No mas.”
chinaski: “Rangefinder. Basically really learning my yardages; especially with wedges and partial/flighted shots.”

Next “Ping Slam” putter announced: Ping PLD Limited Zing 2

Following the Pal and Pal 2, Ping today announced the release of the third of four “Ping Slam” putters, which commemorate the 1988 season in which the brand won all four men’s major championships.

The precision-milled PLD Limited Zing 2 putter commemorates Curtis Strange’s 1988 U.S. Open win — the first of his two consecutive U.S. Open wins using the putter.

“We’re really enjoying celebrating the ‘Ping Slam’ and reliving some wonderful memories from 1988,” said John A. Solheim, Ping’s Executive Chairman. “Curtis’ thrilling win at the U.S. Open was soon followed by the U.S. Women’s Open champion using a Zing 2, giving us wins at both national championships that summer. The next year Curtis won the U.S. Open again with his Zing 2. That was a remarkable run for the Zing 2 and secured its place in Ping’s putter history.”

Arriving on tour in 1984, the original Zing 2 was inspired by the Zing was cast from stainless steel. Ping cites the heel-shafted design and heel-toe weighting as key elements of the putter’s popularity.

The putters are custom-built by Ping WRX master craftsmen at the company’s headquarters in Phoenix, Arizona. Each putter is serialized for authenticity and includes a custom headcover. Ping’s engineers and company historian scoured the archives to retain the integrity of the four classic designs during the milling process, spending time in the legendary Ping Gold Putter Vault to ensure the integrity of the designs.

Pricing, availability

Only 88 of the 100-percent milled, 303 stainless steel, natural finish putters are available via pingpld.com at 2 pm ET, Tuesday, June 13 at a price of $990.

Later this year (December 5), 35 complete sets of the PLD Limited ‘Ping Slam’ putters will go on sale for $4,990 (limit one per customer), which will include a custom-designed display unit.
