Question about the Ping fitting system....

Bigborgel

I'm bagging a set of Ping G15's I picked up used at Eddie Watts. They are blue dots, I'm 6' 2" tall with a 35"WTF and the salesman said that fitting would work for me. In the past I've always hit black dots. I want to round out my set with a Ping K15 6 hybrid, and I found one used but it's an orange dot. I think that color is for shorter people, but i'm not sure if it would work. Can anyone explain the color codes to me with regard to height, arm length, etc, and how far can I stray and still have a usable club. PS the the blue dots play great!

You might try calling Ping Customer Service and asking them if the hybrids can be adjusted for lie angle. It would help even more if you have the serial number. They're very helpful there, and they really know their products backwards and forwards. A previous poster could be right though....you might be better off searching for a hybrid with the correct color code. If you're patient, the right one will show up online (Ebay, various other sites that sell
used equipment)

The PING website has a static fitting software that you plug in your dimensions to and they recommend a color dot.

Orange is a few degrees flat from standard (black), so I would say that would not fit a guy who fits into blue dot lie angle. That orange dot hybrid would be toe down at impact if you swing the same as with the blue dot irons. A dealer might be able to bend that hybrid up to black (maybe all the way to blue), but I would suggest you shop for a blue dot hybrid.

How are you doing with the black dots and the blue dots with the irons ?
The static fitting is at least 30 years old. The best is still the dynamic fitting while you swing the golf club.
My guess is the orange dot hybrid might be too flat for you.

The G15 hybrids were a couple degrees upright as standard (I have them). Not sure about the K15's though. You could always send it back to Ping and have it bent.

Do a dynamic fitting....basically the lie tape strip on the sole and hit off the lie board. My static measurement is Orange or maybe Brown because I'm a midget but I have a lot of toe droop when I swing so I get 1 degree upright or standard.

Hybrids I'm told play upright which is why I hook the shit out of them

Unfortunately, we don;t have grass driving range around this region. A couple of them shut down the grass grange and one golf course shut down and give way to development.
But that's a good idea in the video, have to hit the golf ball quickly before the ink dries up.
