mulegolf Can those of us who don't own Pings still hang around this site??

Yes, but you might be on probation.😋

    Thought I’d annoy Spuzz and bring this one back to the top. I hope Raptures will be my favorite since I just received the ones sold by meagain. It’ll be my first go around with Pings. Just for fun, I’m going to throw my Bang-O-Matic 401 Slupski 12 degree driver in the bag with them and try to get my game improvement on. I don’t know where the ball will end up, but it should make friends with the sky on the way there.

      MidwayJ I didn’t mean to take it that far, but he’ll be conforted to know that my Indio will be close at hand should things go wrong.

        MidwayJ Excellent! Spuzz was always a rabid fan of Bang drivers, too.

        Also a great fan of the Integra Sooolong 450. 🙃

            Only the BOM
            I still have a 12 degree shafted with a Fuji Vista Tour 60.
            It's shiny.

              Spuzz The "infamous" wear your safety goggles 450 and say Soolong to it after a week.

              Years ago there was a "war" between two members of the family that marketed the Integra brand and similar clubs were being made at two different factories. Stuff from one was good the other was crap. You must have gotten one of the crap ones. I have one that is at least 10 years old. I ordered a set of Sooolong fairway heads from a vendor and got two from one factory and two from the other. The paint color was the same but stampings were different sizes. There was a significant performance diff as well.

                  Rickochet I still have an Integra Beta Ti 450 that I put in the bag once in a while. It was my first titanium driver, deep faced, and I still hit it pretty well, although I've had about 5 different shafts in it. This was before they came out with the SoooooLong. I'd buy a SooooLong today, except for the ugly blue color!

                    Unlike many at FGI and some here, I don't go half cocked after one bad experience, so there was more.
                    One visit at Cliff's custom club shop was an eye opener when I saw the large bucket of manufacturer returns for credit and there was at least half a dozen Soolongs in there, maybe more.
                    No other company had more than one head in there .
                    BTW, a Bang 450 was in there 😉
