help me choose a shaft for my ping G10

[BigDaddy_Sean]

ok, so I've decided on the Ping G10 7.5 degree. It's got the stock TFC 129 stiff shaft in it.

I havn't played a round yet with it but hit it on the range a few times and the shaft is too flimsy.

TFC 129 is 4.1 degree of torque, 63 grams (per ping's website).

Launch angle seems perfect on it .. but the torque is getting me, Only time I can get a good straight drive is with a slower "timed" swing it seems. If not, it'll fan a little right, sometimes I'll pull it left. I swing 115 - 120 MPH (just had this checked yesterday at a golfTech). and hit the ball 275 - 300.

My last shaft I bought was an Aldila NV65 S .. I liked it, but I think it's time to go to low torque X flex. Something under $75 would be preferrable, I can install it.. but don't know the new companies out there anymore.

How is your ball flight? Probably hit a little lower with the NV right?

UST Proforce V2 is around $75 and it has a lower torque and supposedly very stable through impact. Stiffer Tip and has a mid bend point.

That is a high swing speed. Maybe you should save a little dough, then go get fitted for a nice shaft in the $150-$300 range. I have personally seen with my own eyes guys pick up 25 yds with better accuracy after getting fitted properly. Guy ended up in an Ozik code 6 or something like that. Like a $300 shaft. I never put much stock in $300 shafts before, figuring $100 shafts were just as good. I saw the guy spend some money and the next day he was hitting it the best he has ever hit in his life. It was pretty inspiring to me. I'm saving as we speak.

Where would you go to get a shaft fitting like that? I've been looking, just to see what the process is like, and maybe quote some prices. I live in Southern Indiana, if that helps any. Thanks!

I know at most of the high end courses around here, they do it. Outside Launch Montior on the range pretty good deal. Not just hitting in cage and looking a pc.

One of the best though, is a just a regular driving range with a good clubfitter.

Search the Clubmaker's Association website or call the local pro and ask him.

Im thinking the ProForce V2 too
And in the X-Stiff category, you could go with a 2.9 torque 65 gram
or a 2.2 torque 75 gram, depending on what will end up suiting you best

Im just curious...if the torque of the Stiff shaft in the 65 gram V2 is 3.0, and the X-Stiff in the same model has a torque of 2.9, whats the big difference? (I'm getting a new shaft in my sumo within the next week too )
