- From G430 MAX 10K drivers to hit more fairways, to PLD custom putters to fit their stroke. Shane and Marty detail the equipment they have in the bag and how each club is custom-fit and custom-built to help them play their best.

Ping should offer the Marty Jertson fitting experience. Seems like a great guy to hang out with in addition to be super knowledgable.
He's way more valuable to the organization as a club designer/engineer.
@@john1959ism of course. It would still be great marketing for them to offer something like this in limited fashion
Can yall bring back the knit driver covers like Shane's driver cover?
Love this. I had a great experience at the Proving Grounds meeting Marty and all the lead engineers. It was a great three days.
Thank you for the comment and for coming out to the PING Proving Grounds.
Spoon feed me all the Marty content :)
The double driver is SUCH a ping thing. Just pure pragmatism lol.
I loved the I20 irons. I had a G30 4 wood that I wish I still had. That thing was long!
WAY more interested in the Jertson bag!
I do the same with my 10.5. The fear of the hook is real.
PING has really improved their total lineup the last 3-4 years. More offerings for better players. From woods to putter there really isn't a weak spot with their product line.
We appreciate the comments! Our engineers are working hard across all categories. Play Your Best.
I play a lot of Ping and have just been fitted driver and 7 wood SFTs.
Would love to see a 7.5 driver head that can be turned down to 6 degrees from Ping. Would be a great fitting option!
Absolutely love that mini-driver/Frankenstein 3-wood setup that Marty has. This is the type of thing that could work for me since I really like to play my long clubs shorter than standard. Any plans to manufacture an actual mini-driver like some other OEMs are doing now?
Thank you for the comments, Ryan. No plans at this time. But, a setup similar to Marty's can be ordered through any PING-authorized golf shop. Play Your Best.
@@PING Could you fill us in on how Marty got the head weight high enough on this build? I’m not sure what his swing weight is but to get it to D4-ish, wouldn’t he have had to add a ton, like more than the heaviest weight you all offer? Maybe some hot melt can help get there? Thanks so much for engaging in these comments - this is awesome.
Thank you for asking, Eric. Marty achieved the proper swing weight by using our heaviest CG Shifter along with some additional hotmelt.
What are the shafts in the wedges? Are the wedges and irons Tour Issue Dynamic Gold? Are the irons soft stepped or regular? Tipping on the RDX Smoke Blue? Cheers!!!!
Marty plays his "mini" driver so short! Did he pick the length to go a certain distance or was it because he likes his FWs a little on the short side?
This video was great. Marty, are you playing the RDX Smoke Blue in your (long) driver in part because it’s counterbalanced? And are the Tour 2.0 shafts also counterbalanced, though I realize not as much as the Alta CBs are?
Thank you for the question, Eric. Yes, Marty is playing it because of the counterbalance and bend profile. The PING Tour 2.0 Black shafts are relatively counterbalanced for how stiff and stable they are.
On Marty's 2 wood, did he add weight to the head to maintain the swing weight? Hotmelt or larger CG shifter? Or is the Swing weight super light.
Thank you for the question. Marty went with a very heavy CG shifter and some additional hot melt to increase the weight in the head.
Is there a max weight allowable to add before it becomes non confirming?
What shaft is that on Marty’s Driver? New Ventus?
Thank you for the question. Marty is gaming the Hzrdus Smoke Blue RDX 60 TX in his driver.
So if I decrease my loft on a wood it will help it go left?
If you're RH, lowering the loft opens the face a bit, which would help it go right (or less left, depending on how you look at it).
What’s the head weight on that 42.5 inch driver?
The head weight is 206 grams. Let us know if you have any further questions.
Ok, so for the weekend hacker, what clubs should I buy?
Thanks for reaching out, Jason. We always recommend getting fit by an authorized PING fitter to determine the best equipment for your swing. You can find your nearest fitting facility here: bit.ly/3qinO4N
WOW so innovative, guy just builds a mini driver, hmmm what other company has done that time n time again
Kinda different, but I get what you are sayin

In between black and red… nice if you can get it.
I asked for yellow lie angle when fitted for i230 by ping…. Was told NO. ( blue or green, that’s it)
Also fitted off a matt…..not grass.
Lastly custom fitting…. A screw on 7 iron head and that somehow fits you for irons. It nonsense.
I’m tall so asked re a more upright hybrid… again a big no.
I have played ping for nearly 40 years… but the custom fit think… I just don’t believe in it anymore.
Normal golfers don’t get anywhere close to what u chaps are suggesting.
Sorry at your prices and other companies prices no thanks.
Check out PXG, great deals. Or buy used Ping, figure out your color code for lie angle and pings (especially the older irons) are built like tanks and last forever. I will sometimes go back to my old eye2’s that are circa 1983 and they still play very well.
