How to choose the right color dot of ping irons?
There’re 12 different colors for Ping golf clubs (such as Ping G10 Irons, Ping G15 Irons, Ping Repture V2 Irons and ect.), each representing a different shaft angle. It is a tool that the golf club maker, PING, created in order to help people select the golf clubs that are most appropriate for them. The dot system is also referred to as the PING color chart. The reason it is called a color chart is because it attempts to categorize people by placing them into one of 12 different colors.
The 12 color codes attempt to determine, as closely as possible, which golf clubs are most appropriate for each individual golfer. This classification applies to golfers of all levels, professionals as well as beginners. It is probably the closest thing to getting golf clubs custom made for you. This goal of this customization is to have each golfer use the right clubs. Using the right clubs should improve the golfer's game. The more appropriate the golf club is for the golfer, the better his or her swing will be, and this should result in the golfer obtaining a lower score.
Choosing the appropriate golf club can help to minimize poor swings, such as hooks and slices. The fewer poor swings that a golfer has, the better game they will play, and the more fun they will have.
How to choose the right color dot of ping irons? You can see the PING dot system in accordance with what presented above，which are mostly height related, you can find what color is most appropriate for you from the graph on the PING color chart.

Ulsterman Graeme – McDowell (GraemeMcDowell) may play is not perfect, but he succeed to keep ahead in this match. On Sunday(time in California), He went round the course in three over par and finally won the 110th United States Open Championship. Accordingly, he became the first European players who won the championship in U.S.Open in the last 40 years.
McDowell climbed to the top of the leaderboard because of DustinJohnson’s surprisingly fault. On the condition that 3 stars,Tiger – Woods, Mickelson and Els took pains to win the first place but failed, McDowell beat France dark horse, GregoryHavret by one shot and won his first champion in his career. His fourth score was 284 stroke (71-68-71-74), level par, which brings him 135 million prize.
Tiger Woods shot in 75 stroke in a final round, 4 stroke over par. His fourth score was 287 stroke (74-72-66-75), 3 stroke over par; however, What came as a relief was that Mickelson, the No.2 top player couldn’t replace him as the No. 1 , since Mickelson also made mistakes several times. Tiger Woods and Mickelson tied for sevenplace.
In contrast, Els won the U.S. Open, the third opportunity is bigger. However, after four stroke over par on 3 golf holes, he didn’t recover. At the 14th hole, Els did not hit the target bunker shot bogey and at the 15th hole then missed a 4-foot birdie putt, which deprived his hope to win. Els shot 73 in the final round, two over par. His fourth score is 286 (73-68-72-73), two over par. He was the thrid.
McDowell shot 74 in the final round, which is the highest score on U.S. Open champion since 1985 . Anyhow, Victory is the last word. McDowell has been the second European championship after England player, TonyJacklin in 1970.

The 2009 Taylormade Burner irons come with a very progressive design. Some of the extraordinary features of the Taylormade Burner Irons include sweet spot enhancing inverted cone face coupled with considerably reduced club weight makes this a very intuitive iron. But Taylormade doesn't stop there. Longer and lighter shafts reduce the overall weight of these golf clubs thereby increasing ball speed, making the Burner iron a monster in the yardage gain gain department. There are some definite advancement characteristics of the new Burner iron.
Designed to be ultra-long and extremely forgiving, the irons have already drawn rave reviews from TaylorMade’s staff players who tested them over the winter. A similar response from the golfing public seems inevitable.
In creating the new irons, designers started at the very beginning, taking the troublesome 4-iron and working on a way to make it longer and easier to hit than ever before.
A larger head, a thinner face and wider sole helped achieved this, and with the 4-iron taken care of, the same principle of optimisation was then applied to all the other golf clubs in the set.
Using precisely calculated combinations of loft, weight, length, size, sole width and offset, not to mention the implementation of the existing driver and iron technology, TaylorMade redesigned all eight irons to be the very best they could be, rather than having identical clubs with progressively higher lofts.
But the longer shafts may take a while to get used to and some may even struggle with these golf clubs.
Anyway, the 2009 Taylormade Burner Irons will be a big seller and provide many positives for the average golfer. We expect this iron to overtake any Taylormade iron predecessor.
