Ping i3 5 Wood 17 Degrees Golf Fairway Woods - Reviews

On 2005-11-20, hondo rated this Ping i3 5 Wood 17 Degrees a 5...(6422)



Purchase: I paid $50 for this second hand at sports plus in denver. I bought this because it was a ping and it was 17 degrees loft.
Pros: The better I get, the better this club gets. I hit it off the tee because I can't keep a driver on the fairway, nor a 3 wood either. This season I have easily out drivin 80% of the players (public course hackers) I play against. Its got a lively hitting face and enough loft to match my slower swing speed. I'm 200 yards out in the fairway 5 out 6 times. Most of my opponents are out of bounds with their fat head drivers. A joy off the grass too. I now average 400 yards on two swings.
Cons: I have trouble getting it as high in the air as I think it should go, but that is mostly due to my imperfect swing. I believe this was made for mid to lower hadicaps tho beginners could could easily use it for a driver like me.
Quality: Stunning head quality. Hi pitched 'PINK' sound when hit well. The 350 cushin regular flex shaft fits my swing well and no weird twisting either. I beat this thing into the ground and no problem.

Review Summary: Stunning club. It will go as far as I can take my game. If I can get start hitting more greens with my approach irons, I should be able to hit 40 for 9 holes if not break 40 and I hit from the white tees.

Went to the range yesterday to practice. Took the new 9.5* driver to test it out. I hit it a lot better than I figured I would with that factory insta
