Two of my favorite companies are Apple and PING. If I could have a PING laptop I’m sure it would be easy to hit and the longest laptop on the market. PING and Apple are working together on a new feature in Apple’s iTunes called “social music discovery.” I’m not sure what PING and Apple

PING and Apple joining forces? That has to be good, right?

Last year Ping released two new drivers, the i15 for players who like to work the ball off the tee and the G15 for players who wanted slightly more forgiveness and a higher launch angle for more distance. Now, for players who simply want to cream the ball as far and as straight as possible, the company has released the K15. When Ping's club designers and engineers, including Vice President John K. Solheim, decided to make a new super game-improvement driver, they saw that most of the clubs already on the market have closed faces. That made sense because many golfers in the market for super game-improvement drivers are slicers. “But what we thought these players really wanted was to aim at a target and hit the ball in that direction,” Solheim said. “So when we designed the K15, that's what we had in mind. Let's just create a driver that is really easy to hit straight.” The key to making that happen is Ping's Straight Flight technology, which is essentially a weight positioned near the heel of the club ( in red in the graphic on the right ) which encourages the face to square at impact. “As you start to swing down, the weight wants to rotate the clubhead and close it to square,” said Solheim. “The nice thing is that the K15 doesn't have a draw face or a closed head, so it really doesn't want to go past the square position. It really just wants to go back to square and stay there.” To lower the club's center of gravity and help golfers get the ball into the air more easily, the crown of the K15 was made especially thin. In some areas it is about the width of two business cards. “We've tried other stuff, but we keep coming back to the traditional shape that's been evolving since the Ping G2 driver,” Solheim said. “We've been pretty successful with that shape and haven't seen a big reason to go too far from it.” While the K15 and the G15 are both 460cc heads, the K15 will play bigger. “It's got a larger profile when you look down at it,” Solheim points out. “It's face is also larger.” The K15 drivers are arriving in pro shops now in 9.5, 10.5 and 12 lofts. They come standard with Ping proprietary TFC 149D graphite shaft for about $300, but custom shaft options are available. See-Try-Buy: Learn more about

I’m heading out of the country today on a blogcation. I’ll be off the grid until around September 1. See you on the other side.

Off The Grid

I’m at the grocery store the other day picking up grub, so I can nourish and strengthen myself for good golf blogging. With three food eating machines (teenagers) in the house, I usually get bulk or large bags of cereal. But this time around I couldn’t resist buying a box of Post Cereal. Why? Because

I bought a box of cereal just because Paul Azinger was on it?

I was going to make some posts today, but I slept in… I like Jim Furyk. He’s a gritty player (#3 in the world) and seems like a nice cat. Apparently he made a little boo boo this week though. He uses his cell phone for his alarm in the morning, but his battery died.

I have a ton of Coleman gear, all of which is for my camping rig. Ovens, lanterns, tents, coolers… Now I have a Coleman product for my golf bag! One of my three home courses is at a low point in the valley. Several creeks and a river run through the course. Most of the
