25.11 Ping:
Med nytt driving iron
Ping hadde for noen år siden et enerjern som mange av de bedre spillerne
brukte. Nyvinning på gang.
Den tidligere landslagskaptein og redaktør i Norsk Golf, Eirik Olav, likte å
spøkefullt å si: "Never bet with a golf player with a one iron in his bag and a
sun tan in his face".
Nå kommer Ping opp med en ny modell som ser meget lekker ut. Den kan komme til å
få en bra posisjon i markedet. I pressemeldingen heter det at enerjernet både er
lettspilt og tilgivende. Golfsiden har ikke testet kølla, men den ser unektelig
flott ut. Det blir spennende å prøve! Prisen er NOK 1485.
Joakim Mikkelsen har hatt denne kølla en stund og er fornøyd. Han har
grafittskaft i den. Kølla egner seg godt også til transportslag på par 5 hull.
Her lukter vi en rimelig utslagskølle til dem som ikke behersker en driver fullt
ut. De som søker presisjon og lange slag på trange, norske golfhull som i
tillegg er gode til å spille, vil nok også ha glede av å forsøke nyvinningen.
Pluss alle andre!
Her er pressemeldingen:
PING introduces long, forgiving, tungsten-weighted Rapture
driving iron
PHOENIX (Nov. 22, 2013) – PING® today introduced its Rapture® driving iron,
which the club maker says offers innovation and performance that are unmatched
in the category. Significant tungsten weighting in the heel and toe creates a
high MOI for a head its size, making the Rapture easier to hit than a long iron.
At the same time, its wider sole gives the Rapture the playability of a hybrid
but with much less spin. As a result, the 18-degree head delivers a low,
penetrating ball flight that maximizes distance and control.
“The Rapture driving iron has been well-received by tour pros because it
provides longer shots and a controlled trajectory,” said John A. Solheim, PING
Chairman & CEO. “You have the best of both worlds. It’s more forgiving and
generates much faster ball speed than the 2-iron equivalent, yet it launches
lower and spins far less than a comparable hybrid. The low, penetrating
trajectory offers control and command, which is essential for keeping the ball
under the wind, for example, or when you’re playing a hard, fast course and you
want to maximize roll out.”
A key attribute of the Rapture driving iron is its flat, 455 stainless-steel
face, which contributes to greater ball velocity and promotes workability
because it has no bulge and roll. The generous sole in the 17-4 stainless-steel
head locates the CG low for optimizing launch conditions and turf interaction.
“This club is a great option off the tee but it’s also effective in making solid
contact from the ground,” Solheim said. “It’s a versatile design that reflects
PING’s commitment to custom-engineering solutions for golfers, in this case a
club that plays a more specialized role in their shot making.”
The shaft in the Rapture is a half-inch longer than a standard 2-iron shaft.
Solheim said PING’s proprietary TFC 949 graphite shaft promotes greater momentum
and inertia for improved energy transfer, resulting in faster ball speeds and
more distance.
Technical specifications:
- 17-4 stainless-steel body, 455 stainless-steel face
- Tungsten heel and toe weights
- 39.75” length, 18º head
- Foggy-chrome finish
- Stock graphite shaft: TFC 949 with chrome PVD finish (R, S, X flexes)
- MSRP: 1685 NOK
