Ping G10 and shaft

[JimmyDoesGolf]

Hi all,

I recently tried out a G10 in my search for a new driver, but it had a regular graffaloy red prolaunch shaft on it. I found it quite hard to get up in the air and straight. Could it be the shaft which has made it hard to hit? I've heard it is fairly stiff for a regular shaft. Is it worth trying the G10 again with the stock shaft?

Cheers

Yes it is, the TFC is lighter and not so stiff...

I found the 9 degree g10 with the V2 high launch shaft to have a very pleasant feel. The shaft on the g10 you hit might have had a stiff tip, which would cause lower ballflight regardless of the overall stiffness of the shaft. With the exception of the V2's I find stiff tipped shafts very difficult to use. I would see if you could try the same configuration again with a medium tip shaft (if its available) and see how it works for you.

Hi,
I think it would be worth it to at least try the stock shaft - Over the first 7 rounds of the year for me, I've used my new G-10, and have just fallen in love with this driver.

My swing speed was between 95 and 98, and I don't really 'go after it'. More of a smooth swing. I ended up with the stock TFC stiff, and 10.5* loft. Absolutely perfect for me - flight, control, the whole 9 yards.. Kind of unusual for me, since I've typically been fitted with regular shafts - But in this case, everything measured said the stock TFC stiff.. Maybe because of their slightly longer shaft length(?).
Regards,
Scope

I hit a G10 for the first time yesterday. It is a guy's at my club, who has a blinding swingspeed, with the "Epic" shaft in it, which is a $300+ shaft. I thought it felt kinda cheap though? maybe it was the stiffness of the shaft or so mething?
