Hi mike, what a brilliant incite into how labour intensive the manufacturing and Specking of a ping golf club is. Amazing attention to detail. Almost inspires me to break the bank and go get custom fitted. One of the best videos I've seen. Loved it .cheers Andy woide
The attention to detail and the labor involved is amazing! Makes me appreciate even more what goes into each club.. now I kinda want to see the iron/head casting process lol
To think my G400 5-U Irons and Stealth 2.0 54 WS and 58 SS (blue dot) went through this process. Great clubs from a great company!! (Think I might go for a matching G700 4 iron!!) Interesting video... Thanks.
Great video Mike. Interesting to see how they match up the Swingweights using those flexible weight plugs. Smart If I didn’t get a set of custom built Mizuno JPX Forged irons last year, Ping i200’s would definitely be my go too iron.
Little more hands-on than I expected. Didn't think Ping irons were that adjustable with loft and lie. Thought they were cast to that spec although that would be expensive to do.
Hi , now i remember why i came on , i have just bought the new ping from American Golf East Ardsley WAKEFIED store , had a fitting by the guy in the shop . tried different shafts settings but was disappointed with my distance on simulater , is this so we buy if so should distance not be longer ?? i ask as my previous club went 230 in there but on course i hit drives of 285 plus , Now this NEW PING LATEST only went 212 at best can someone explain please. paul
Great video Michael, very interesting to see how much manual labour still goes into a golf club. One question though... seeing how they bang the custom lie (and loft? ) into the club with a hammer, I wonder how these hold up in play then. I would expect if you hit a number of ugly fat and heavy shots, the loft and lie could well change, no?
very little if anything, if they move 1 degree over a 2 year period hitting lots of balls then you've been unlucky! I would always recommend to check lies every 2 years anyway
Chris Waller I saw a ping tour years ago in the original Arizona location and they allowed their staff to dress casually as they like to improve their comfort at work. It looks like the UK is no different. I see no issue with them being allowed in tough working conditions to be comfy vs wearing a uniform. Nobody but their fellow workers see them
Admire the craft and dedication of the workers - thank you. Without you we wouldn't have such high quality clubs.
Surprising how labour intensive it is; quite refreshing no robots involved. Makes you want to go and buy a set...
The attention to detail was amazing!
I toured the plant in Phoenix and was amazed at all the quality checkpoints before the clubs are finished!
I’ve used Ping Equipment for over 30 years - their customer service is second to none.
brilliant vlog and kudos to Ping for being great hosts.
Ping were brilliant!
Great video! Thanks for showing us the behind the scenes
Very nice to see what happens on the factory floor at these companies. Thanks for that.
Thanks Michael, this is A REAL "How It's Made"!

Thanks for sharing that Mike, it was fascinating. I would love be club fitted at Ping UKHQ....... perhaps one day.....
Awesome job! I honestly as a golf junkie might consider as my next irons ping just based on this video.
Super interesting. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for this mike brilliant
Very interesting, thanks.
Very interesting video.

G700 are 👌
Nice to see this side of golf; maybe a tour truck next!?
That exact video is coming very soon!
Many thanks, very informative.
I love how they laser align the grips. If I was ever going to use a ribbed grip it would be installed by PING.

@@MichaelNewtonGolf Alrighty Mike, that's good to know, and I will heed that advice. Cheers!
Where are the actual heads made ? Forged ?
Most Ping heads are cast and made in Phoenix, US.
Not sure where the forged heads are made..
WOW
Love ping but limited shaft/ grip choice these days for custom orders
Great video's Michael. Maybe you mentioned it and I missed it, but are you going all PING this year for your personal game?
Not all Ping but there are a couple of new additions. A new WITB video will be coming soon.
Get me a bigger hammer! That’s why we should check your lie angles regularly
Ping are class, but you would expect their staff to wear proper ppe clothing. Coming to work in footy tops is just so wrong

Doesn’t matter a damn. Comfortable staff equal happy staff which results in good workmanship
There really was a family feel with the work force
Dont be fooled ping is made in china. Only some clubs are assembeled the us.
All assembled in UK which services Europe
Quattro 4: Dickhead, you have absolutely no idea what you are talking about. Until you do; get back in your pram and shut up!
@@MichaelNewtonGolf Are the heads cast in Phoenix still?? As this is assembly only.
