Ping G5 Single Iron Golf Club

I should start with the caveat that I do not actually own the Ping G5 hybrids, but I have played with them a few times. Once I played 18 holes at Wolf Creek in Mesquite, Nevada - a very, very difficult course - and the G5 hybrid that was included in the rental bag got me out of some tough scrapes. The ball got up in the air nicely and flew very true.

I recently demo-ed the 22* during a round, and that's what got me looking on eBay to see what was on sale, because I want one! The thing about it is that, even when I made a bad swing, the ball flight was quite good. I hit it about 200 yards exactly and I found it very easy to control. On #18 I was just over 200 yards out in the fairway, and I hit a decent shot that ended up pin high in the right fringe, and it wasn't even my best swing - I could feel that my hands were late. If that had been a 3-iron I would have ended up 10 yards to the right.

So normally I don't write a review about a club I don't actually own, but I found the other two reviews misleading and irrelevant. I mean, what does the military not getting a discount have anything to do with the performance of the club? These reviews are about the clubs in particular, not a forum to vent against some sales rep for the company.

It's a good club, in my experience. I'm buying one ASAP.
