I am looking to buy a new Ping G10 3 wood and I was just wondering what the diffrences are between the TFC 129 and the V2 High Launch and the Pro launch Red . I used a shift shaft so which one should I get?

Posted
i usually hit my driver a little higher than i like. so to lower it a little i ordered one with the prolaunch red which is supposed to have a slightly lower launch. i believe the v2 has a higher launch. the tfc129 has a higher torque rating than the other two.

i'd get fitted for one if you are not sure.

G10 Draw 10.5* ProLaunch Red
906 F2 15*
G10 Hybrid 21* & 24*
G10 5-PW Black Dot, +1/2", Orange Grips
Vokey 52* & 58* Scotty Cameron Pro Platinum Scotty Cameron Studio Select Newport 2 (Coming Soon) Pro-V1x E6Ping Latitude Bag (Coming Soon)

I just bought a G10 with the TFC shaft and the launch has been great. I was skying them with my HiBore (Alida NVS green shaft). I've only played one round with it but my drives had a much better trajectory with this combo.

As was mentioned earlier, best bet is to get fitted.
What's in the bag:

G10 9 degree, TFC 129 shaft, stiff
Big Bertha 3 Wood
FTX 2i, Apex Plus 3i-E MP-R 52/07 and 56/13 Zing

The prolaunch Red has a lower launch, and seems to come up stiffer than the V2. The V2 has a very high launch.

I ended up with a 9 degree head with stiff V2 shaft. If I'd gone for the prolaunch I'd probably have gone regular, and maybe even gone for the 10.5 degree head.

But like the guy before said, don't guess, get fitted. It doesn't matter whether your shaft is high or low launch, womens or tour X flex, or whether your head is 7.5 or 13 degrees. What matters is where the ball is after you have swung your club.

    • To flog this subject even further, if that's even possible, this article from Golf Monthly just appeared today in one of my news feeds. Written by a golf writer in the UK who I never heard of, he's basically saying that there should be only 3-5 rounds from the most recent 20 that should count towards the average and only competitive rounds should count. He claims the erratic scorers would have less of an advantage than they do now. He makes a lot of references to "club golfers" in the UK being the ones who are mostly dissatisfied. https://share.google/qmZZBEoJvOxHxJGil  In my experience with my league where we have golfers with indexes ranging from 5 to 40, looking at the weekly results from the past two years, I can detect no pattern that would substantiate the claim that the current system gives an unfair advantage to either erratic golfers (aren't we all?) or higher handicappers. Apparently though, at least in the UK, this seems to be "a thing."
