i have a ping g5 driver and have just purchased a grafalloy prototype hot pink shaft for it, it came today from america and the tip size is .335" , i took it to the pro shop this morning before work to see if he could fit it, and he mentioned something about whether the shaft wil fit into the hosel on the driver, just realised by looking on the internet that the shaft requirment for my G5 is .350" does this make it impossible to have it fitted or could something be done???

i dont want to have to send the shaft all the way back to america to have it changed, any replies appreciated

sounds like your options are what can your pro shop do to help you out, go back on line and make a list of the drivers that use that size of tip and sell it to someone that can use it, buy a new head that will fit your shaft and use it or sell it as a complete driver, return it to get the right shaft and be happy if it's the right shaft for you. Now you learned before you order a part make sure it's the right one. The cost of shipping to and from the United States may not be worth the extra cash since you've paid for it once already.

its all ok now, emailed a place that do special treatment, they said its easily done, all they need to do is fit an adaptor and this lets you fit .335 shaft onto a .350 hosel. thanks anyway golf chief, they said it can be done and returned for £19

Let us know how it works after you play a couple of rounds with it. Not much room for an adaptor with only a .015 gap.

golfchief,

.015 is plenty of room for an adaptor, they work seamlessly. I have never had an adaptor (what I use for FT-3's), or brass shim (what I use for all other clubs) ever fail on a customer or myself. Shimming a club is a very well established and accepted method of using a smaller diameter shaft in a larger hosel.

    • I saw this video yesterday, couldn't figure out what he meant, then saw this thread and thought "oh maybe someone knows what he was talking about" and you guys are in the same place as me.  I *think* what he's suggesting is that you play a game such that going low is expected. He said there are different variations of it. I think his variation is you get three goes at a shot. You hit your first shot and it's good enough, then you just take it. If it's not good enough then you can abandon that shot and play another. If you still don't like it, you can hit it a third time, but then you're stuck with it. He's good enough that three goes at a shot ought to give him one that's good enough to move on. He did mention his parameters for what counts as "good enough", although I do note that he should have hit a third go on that pitch from the hazard based on that. He holed the putt though so it worked out in the end. I think if you're not as good as he is (which let's face it is everyone here and virtually everyone on the planet), then you'd adjust those rules to make it such that you might manage to make 5 birdies in a row. So maybe you play a two ball scramble with yourself and if you don't like either one then you can abandon those and hit a third or you play a three ball scramble or whatever it is that you need to make your standard work.  At its base though, it's just like going out and playing from the front tees or playing a scramble with yourself. The goal is to gain comfort with making lots of birdies and going way under par, so that when you find yourself in that situation in a real game, you don't panic. It's an interesting variation and if I ever got to play "for fun" at my home course, then I'd definitely try it.
    • Timing yes, feeling maybe not exactly 😉 Weight shift forward can start as early as A3. Weight shift is a lateral sway.

    • That sounds good. And, yeah, the default camera app tries to take in as much light as possible.
