![[Winners Club] Endicott 'Ping iBlade Iron'](https://cphoto.asiae.co.kr/listimglink/1/2024010309251816793_1704241518.jpeg)
Endycott secured the top spot by 4 strokes at the PGA Tour Q School Final Stage held on April 18 at the TPC Sawgrass Dye’s Valley Course (Par 70, 6,850 yards) in Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida. He recorded scores in the 60s for four consecutive days (65-68-65-67). By finishing in the top 5 (including ties), Endycott earned the right to compete on the regular tour this year.
Over the four days, he demonstrated stable iron shots with a greens-in-regulation rate of 72.22%. His bunker save rate was 100%, and his scrambling ability?scoring par or better when missing the green?was 90%.
The iron Endycott used to escape these critical situations was the Ping iBlade. This model focuses on precision with a thin topline, minimal offset, and a straight leading edge. The head is made of high-strength, lightweight soft 431 stainless steel, providing a soft feel at impact, and the HydroPearl chrome finish minimizes flyer effects in the rough. To enhance forgiveness, it incorporates tungsten weights increased by 70% compared to the previous S55 model. The thin high-speed face with a thickness of 0.68 mm is the driving force behind increased distance.
