shafts

[neudi]

So I ordered true temper dynamic golds and rifle spinner shafts for the wedges and they came in today. Usually you are given the tip diamater option of .335, .355. or .370 and I wasn't. Thought it was weird, but I figured most irons come with the same diamater as they usually do. Well they came in today and little do i know that they ship me .370's. WHAT THE HELL. My mizunos fit .355 shafts so yay I can't play at the moment. So I am going to take them down to the Columbus store and exchange them for the right shafts b/c they are apparently going to have them there by Friday. I just thought it was odd that I was not given the choice or that no one called me to see what I needed. Anyone else have this problem before or am I just insane?

What Websites do you guys like to order from/ trust the most?

Unless you order shafts a lot or repair many clubs you wouldn't know what to ask, then facotr in some people who have had their taper tip heads bored out to accept parallel tip shafts. Most companies you order from will ask because the item number is different between parallel and taper tips, you also have to order taper tips for a specific club and/or as a set.

Not to harp on you but ultimately it's up to you to order the right components since they're your clubs....however as I mentioned above, I'm very surprised that the place you ordered them from didn't ask whether you want taper tip shafts or not. Either way it's a good learning experience

"What Websites do you guys like to order from/ trust the most?"

I'm currently buying all my stuff from Golfworks. Aside from the fact that their shipping has been as slow as molasses in January on the last couple of orders, they offer good prices, good quality, a good selection of components, and you'd never make a mistake like that in ordering shafts because their stock is very clearly listed as to flex, tip diameter, etc.

I'd recommend them, but pay a few bucks extra for U.P.S. or FedEx shipping; the old U.S.P.S. needs to upgrade their mule teams.

Just to add to what was previously said, Golfworks also has an extremely knowledgable staff. Jim, in particular, can answer any questions you have about products, repairs, fitting, etc.

I've had good success with my local Golfsmith retailer and had the same experience with their website as well. So I'd say give them a try...sad to hear about the experience you encountered with your shaft order though...

not all steel shafts come in 370 or 355. but usually when you don't have a choice you are getting the standard 355 unless you are ordering from a custom club operation that sells heads to fit only a 370 tip.

2006 called....they want their thread back!

Seriously though, I have not seen where the tip size information wasn't included when ordering shafts.  If you aren't given a choice, go shop elsewhere.
