I absolutely love the podcast! I had the opportunity to do a PLD custom fitting and a full bag fitting at the Proving Grounds and it was so cool!
I love listening to each and every podcast. The level of engineering and science that goes into everything they do is 2nd to none. I am a lifetime Ping fan and these podcasts just confirms my confidence in them to do what is right for their customers and loyal fans. I won’t play anything else.
PING is the best!
Shane and Marty do an amazing job of bringing us behind the scenes at PING with deep dives into technology and the process of innovation at PING. Amazing access to PING’s tour staff is just another reason this is my new favorite golf pod! Keep it up!
I’ve gamed a Ping O Blade for years!
A podcast on how those original bronze putters were made would be so awesome. When you polish them there isn’t a nicer top line of a putter made.
I did the instrumented mountain bike in MEL lab too! I got a chuckle when Marty talked about it!
