TRANSCRIPTS

Alright, here at Ping with Marty Jerson who's the Senior Design...

Alright, here at Ping with Marty Jerson who's the Senior Design Engineer of Ping Clubs and, you know, one of the things you guys are really talking out here this week which is so important is club fitting, getting properly fit for your golf clubs. -Yeah, no doubt about it. I mean it's what we built our brand on, I think, club fitting and we kind of invented our color-code system, which is depending on what your [unk] is-- that's kind of your own unique color code. And it-- you know, it's kind of your color code for life so to speak. So it's unique and the importance of club fitting really makes the difference in being able to utilize our latest technologies to their full potential, and we have some really cool and innovative fitting tools including an app for your iPhone or your iPod. -Oh, really? Yeah. -It's really cool. You literally hook it up to your putter -Uh huh. -and you hit putts with it and depending on how much you rotate in your putting stroke, we can fit you into the best model of putter and help you play your best. -That's really keen. One of the things that I think is very cool about you, Marty, is that you actually competed in the PGA Championship. You qualified as a PGA professional and you got to play your own clubs, like that doesn't happen every day. -Yeah, that was pretty fun. When-- you know, being able to play golf at that level and being able to play my own equipment was something I was really proud of. And to be honest with you, when I-- playing that equipment really helped me get into the PGA Championship because I'm not out there practicing and playing every day. I'm working, you know, putting more time into coming out with good products than in my golf game. So being custom fit and being able to play what we feel like is the best product out there really was exciting and playing in at Atlanta Athletic Club was a great experience for me. I got to play with some of our [unk] players that we-- it was a lot of fun. -That is an awesome experience. Well, thanks so much! I think I need to go get refitted. -You should. You should check out the app too. That's really fun, and you can do a [unk] game with it. So you can use it on game center, on Apple's game center utility so it's a lot of fun. -Alright. Thanks so much Marty!
