Gone are the days of all the new golf equipment being debuted, usually at the PGA Orlando Show, in January or February. Every manufacturer seems to have their own product release cycle to successfully position their brand in the market. Ping is no different. In recent years they have adopted a late Summer/early Fall product release schedule. This year we have been presented with the K15 series of drivers, woods, irons and hybrids.

When our local Taylormade Rep stopped by last week to do some club fittings I had just read about their latest putter online the day before and didn’t expect that he’d have one to show off. But there it was, one of the first to arrive in Canada, mixed in among the rest of the putter line-up, Taylormade’s Rossa Corza Ghost. I wasn’t looking to change putters, but who could give up the chance to be one of the first to test drive the new flat stick.
