Been at the range about 15 times or so with these pings I got but the shafts were to stiff for my swing,

getting TT Lite regular flex with lamkin crossline grips, I'm looking foward to swinging these clubs with the right flex for my swing.

How much better consistency will I have since I'm getting them built for my specs.

Also, anyone use these shafts? Opinions appreciated ..

I used the TT Lite XL in my irons and am very happy with them.  Tried many different types in a 6 iron before deciding on these.  My TT Lite's are a little heavier than what you will get though, mine are .370" straight which are 128g raw.  Your Pings are .355" tapered, and are 113g raw for the R flex.

those are nothing compared to the ZZ-lite shafts.....i got to the first tee and was playing the tips, it was a par 5 535 yds and i pulled 7 iron. the group ahead of me was on the green and as i lined up to hit the marshall stopped me after admiring the clubs in my bag "sir stop! youre going to have to wait for that group to clear the green!" of course i understood but i told him i was just going to flight it down and shape it around the bunker sitting at 240.

i hope somebody else gets this :)

I think I saw you. You were the guy with a 100 person gallery watching in awe and a supermodel caddying for you because your just that good looking. Looked like you were negotiating a big deal all the while punch fading to a 3 under par. I went to touch the hem of your garment but you had sped away in your BMW with yet another supermodel before I could pay tribute. You sir, posses the balls of every man that ever lived and it's all thanks to your clubs.

The penetrating ball flight that you get with the ZZ-lite shafts is just incredible

My stock shafts are karsten model but not zz-lite, the ping guy said it was just one z in the model, so i'm guess z65 maybe? Oh well, I can't hit stiff for anything, maybe 2 out of 6 shots lol.

Well, if anyone cares, got my pings back today with brand spanking new TT Lite XL shafts, had them extended a quarter inch in length.

Also got those stock Ping grips that come on the G series irons.

They feel execellent :)

I am re-shafting with TT Lite XL in a set of 1985 Ping Eye 2's.

I delofted the set by 2-3 degrees already and I was planning to go 1/2" longer than stock.

What are your thoughts on this?

      Playing With Irons

      By John of Art ·

      Hi everybody!  I am new to the golf game. I have taken some lessons and got fitted for clubs a couple of months ago. I usually score between 110-120 for 18 holes.  I bought a Stealth driver last year and have been hitting consistently with it 210-230 yds on the simulator. But when I take it out on the course, every drive is a severe slice!  I played 18 holes yesterday at the club where I belong. I removed the driver from my bag and used the 5 iron to drive with. I hit straight 16 out of 18 drives, 180 - 200 yds. I used the 5i - putter for the rest of my game.  I ended the day with a 92. Question: Does it make sense for me to continue playing with irons only until I get further along in my game before I reintroduce the Driver and woods again? Or should I continue to struggle with the Driver and woods and shoot in the 100’s again? To me it’s a no brainer, but for those more advanced I am interested to get feedback.

      Thank you, currently I only had the 2, 3, 6, 7, 8, 9 irons in the bag. I was never finding myself in a situation to use the 4 and 5 so I dropped those a while ago. The 60W is what I've been practicing with the most in the back yard, but that's only with short chipping. I don't think I've ever practiced hitting my wedges at 80% - 100% apart from yesterday. Maybe I should be doing that more. Generally I would be using a 9 iron if I was out about 75 yards or so. I am not really sure I understand your mention of the 60W and 3H. Aren't these going to be giving me completely different results? Unfortunately I am not able to adjust the loft on the hybrids I have. I looked into the Shot Scope H4 you suggested and this seems really neat and handy, however I am struggling to understand how it works. Am I correct in assuming it doesn't track the ball distance until you hit the ball a second time? Say I drive from the tee and walk up to my ball, tag the next club and hit the ball. Is it at this point when I tag my next club while standing next to my ball that is knows the distance? Thank you, I am going to give the local shop a call and check their prices and see what they can offer.

      Is This Club Blatantly Sandbagging?

      By Ty_Webb ·

      Do you know what their handicaps are? The handicap system isn't perfect and given the higher variance from higher handicaps, I think low handicap players would be expected to win maybe 60% of their matches? I'm not exactly sure what that number is and it will vary with the handicap difference, but if they're generally very low handicaps, then they might be at 60% likely to win a game. Given it's 16 vs 16, that's a lot of games to win. If it's 60%, then that's around an 80% chance that they'll win a given match. At 80% chance of winning, 21 wins in a row is about 1 in 108 times. Pretty unlikely, but not unheard of. It's pretty sensitive to what that individual win percentage is too. If it's 65%, then 21 wins is about 1 in 9. If it's 55%, then 21 wins is 1 in about 5,700. Clearly it's not as simple as this because that win likelihood is going to change match to match as they play lower handicap teams or higher handicap teams, but I don't think it's a "yes they're cheating" thing at all.

      I'll be honest, the only reason the 2 iron was in my bag is because I tend to hit the ball into the tree's fairly often. And I was using it to help me keep the ball very low to get out of the tree's while avoiding getting much loft to hit branches. I guess I can drop the 3H as well. Would it be wise to give a higher loft fairway wood a try as well, something like a 26 degree? I believe there is only one golf shop where I live that has a golf simulator and trainer. I see they offer free fitting with a purchase from the fitter. I'll have to check how much they charge without a purchase, I've read a few stories about fitters on this forum that just wanted to sell the person the most expensive clubs and that kind of deters me a bit. They do offer lessons as well. I'll give them a call and ask them a bit more about these services. Thank you!
