Ping TiSI Review:
| Accuracy |   Less-Avg-More |
|
| Better than average accuracy. Very straight and consistent especially when using a "swing easy" approach. | ||
|
||
| Distance | Short-Avg-Long |
|
| Longer than average. Among the longer drivers reviewed. PGA Tour professionals claimed additional 15-20 yards off the tee when this driver was first introduced. Did not see this kind of distance increase over the 975D, although the Ping was longer (5-10 yards) on smooth swings. | ||
|
||
| Trajectory | Low-Avg-High |
|
| Higher than average trajectory even with the 8.5 degree loft. Tendency to balloon on some shots. | ||
|
||
| Feel | Less-Avg-More |
|
Not much feedback on off center hits. Very
loud and hollow sound when hit. Very light. |
||
|
||
| Forgiveness | Less-Avg-More |
|
Very forgiving. Minimal distance loss on slightly off center hits. Decent distance with extreme heel and toe hits. |
||
|
||
| Looks | ||
| Huge deepfaced head (volume is 323cc); Dark gray high gloss finish with ISI star on silver face and "K" alignment aid on crown; Multiple custom fit options available with JX plastic hosel: lie - 4 degrees upright, standard, or 2 degrees flat; hosel position - draw enhancing, straight, or fade enhancing; inverted "PING" name on toe end of club similar to past Ping woods. | ||
