Returning it to the Pro Shop and complaining of it being "too short", they said that I was probably just not used to it yet, but that I could take it to their repair shop and have it checked to confirm the loft.

Well, I did and on the loft gauge it was actually 59°. The Pro Shop checked another 56° in their inventory and it was between 58° and 59°. They gave me my money back and returned the club to Ping for an evaluation . . . so much for quality control.

Needless to say my Vokey went back in the bag.
