Hi,

Two years ago I purchased two Ping G5 fairway woods (at a price I couldn't refuse) to match my G5 driver and to replace the garbage 3 and 5 woods that I was using. The two fairway woods I bought have the Prolaunch Blue 75R shaft.   I am pretty happy with these clubs with my generic 11.5 hdcp game.

A tragedy unfolded last year and my Ping G5 driver with the stock TFC shaft broke.  It was a stiff shaft.  It is now TWO stiff shafts!!  LOL!  Anwyay, I would like to complete the fairway wood set (and perhaps mimic the feel a bit) by putting a Prolaunch Blue shaft on my driver.  My swing is a little quick at the top.  Should I get the 75R shaft or, being it is a driver and I have always had a stiff shaft in the past, should I get the 75S instead.  I am worried the 75R might be too soft.  A buddy of mine who had made his fair share of drivers thinks my swing is quick enough that the 75S would be right and the 75R could hurt me (like it can get any worse!!)..

Thoughts?

Thanks!!

Well . it seems the 75 works for me in the fairway woods since I hit them okay. .. but then again, I have never tried the 65.  And maybe the 65 works better in the driver than the 75 would. I dunno.

May I ask why you would suggest the 65 stiff or regular over the 75 stiff?

Thanks!

[=3][/] If you get the Prolaunch Blue for your drivewr it needs to be a Stiff 65G. Usally the driver shaft is lighter than that of fairway woods. I have the 65g in my driver, whilke my fairway woods are bioth 75g.

I too have a slightly heavier shaft in my woods compared to driver, but as for reg or stiff, there's not much difference between the 2 anyway! Stiffer can often result in straighter shots, I prefer stiff shafts even though my swing speed allegedly suggests regular, I rarely can tell the difference, it's only when I try x stiff I can notice, so don't melt ya brain over it, just try as many as ya can and see how they feel to YOU!

I was looking at the specs. If I read it right the 65 has lower torque and higher flight? Thats a cool combo. 2.8 torque is starting to get controllable for me. The 75 was more like 3.8. Thats backwards so I suspect my reading was off somehow.

      Here's the bet. Assuming the pursuit of a Tour card holds, who wins their first Tour event? Charlie, or this Russell kid? Bet is off if Miles Russell signs with LIV.

      It seems like too much work for me. I'm actually surprised at myself for spending as much time on this as I already have. Shot Scope tells me my shots to finish with a 7i is 0.1 better than with my 50 or 55 so I'm just going to go with it. Actually, I tend to be the complete opposite. I've never faced a shot I'm convinced I can't hit. It leads to great heroics and complete flops. Conservative for me might just be someone else's normal.

      Tell me you've not seen Bill play without telling me you've not seen Bill play? 😄 Just teasing @billchao. 😄

      And like Matt said, and I have hinted at… it's ONE ROUND. Because you have to get hot. Better players than him failed to get through. And… Peaked too soon, perhaps. He could also get injured, get surpassed, lose interest or lose his game… Again, if I trusted y'all to uphold the bet, and if the bet wasn't basically a 15-year proposition… I'd bet y'all. The odds are against him, and heavily so. So… he didn't qualify, and he's playing on a sponsor's exemption. Jordan Spieth was 16 years old when he tied for 16th in a PGA Tour event… and I realize that mentioning Jordan Spieth (who has obviously had a lot of success) seems to argue against my point, but Spieth is the exception and he did better at only a year older than this fella. The odds are strongly against him.

      He shot -5 with a bogey on the last hole. Those Monday Q events are seriously tough to get through. Lots of very very good players play in those, including normally a fair few tour players who've lost their cards, including past winners. It is a small sample size, but he also just broke one of Tiger's records (youngest ever to be ranked one in AJGA if memory serves). He's the best 15 year old in the world at the moment. He's also pretty small and skinny - if he grows and fills out a bit and gets stronger, he could be a serious force to be reckoned with. He may of course also go off the boil and struggle or his swing may not last his growth or something, so it's not like he's odds on to make it or anything like that. I think it will be interesting to see how he progresses and if (big if granted) he progresses well, then he will be quite the prospect.
