I am 51, 6'4" 215 lbs, 25 handicap. Hit drives about 260 (when I hit it perfect) with 95 mph swing speed (Ping G5, stock shaft, regular flex, 10.5 degrees). I tend to hit "fade" drives. Six iron is about 150 yards with 75-80 mph swing speed.

I have gone to two Ping Demo Days and tried Aldila, Graffaloy, Ping shafts. Ping guys gave me stiff shafts with offset head, and they all felt & looked good. But thats a driving range, so who knows?

My question is: What is the difference with all the Ping G5 shafts? Ping guys said Graffaloy hits with more spin, Aldila is lower trajectory. I just dont know if I should switch from Reg to Stiff flex. What should be my considerations?

Thanks!

the best thing would be to go to www.ping.com and search for a local fitter in your area, with that information go there and have a professional place you on a launch monitor. There he'll read your swing speed, launch angles, spin rates, ball speed, carry distance etc etc etc... plus a certified fitter should have the G5 is several lofts and shafts... it takes some time and patience but getting fitted is the way to go... hope this helped

      First, you have some great choices in there.  Event Horizon remains a birdie movie for me.  It still finds its way onto the October options as Halloween approaches.  It fits well. I continue to forget that Arrival, when being referenced, is not the Charlie Sheen movie I saw in middle school. Lastly, what rating are you giving HG2?  Was it a par?  Bogey?  I gather from your review it didn't earn a hole in one on a par-4.  (I have yet to decide how I'm prioritizing that on my movie queue, and if I should even bother, so I'm looking forward to reviews here)

      I loved Arrival. Annihilation is a good one. Event Horizon is also one of my classic sci-fi favorites. And now for something completely different: Happy Gilmore 2. I watched HG1 as an adult, and it was alright, but probably would have been better if I watched it as a kid. HG2 had some good parts, but overall I wasn't a big fan. I knew there would be pros in the movie, but I imagined some cameos, not them being straight up actors through large parts of the movie. They're not actors and it showed. I could've done with a lot less of them and John Daly was maybe the best of the pros. The Maxi part was boring.

      Did I miss what your handicap was or how long you’ve been playing?  That Garmin chart is pretty useless.  Is the max number one of the numbers used to compute the average?  Without the chart don’t know how far you hit your clubs?  What do you hit from 150, ,160 etc…. Not looking at max and figuring the other numbers will probably have 10 yards of roll built in. It seems your launch and peak height are low.  I’d probably go Driver/5 wood/7 wood/ 5 iron
