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

    • Day 170: did the yardstick putting drill. 
    • Day 2 1 hour of range work, muni range in Van Nuys. Focusing still on weight shift, starting forward shift earlier. Seeing some progress. Little bit of chipping work.
    • I wish! Double quotes are inches and a single quote is feet! It was just 11 inches, my friend, @ChetlovesMer!    Day 4 1/3/25  Indoor chipping and weight shift drills. Will putt through 50 mm  gates rom 11 inches before bed.

    • Day 244 (3 Jan 24) - Friday men’s group round - a really solid front nine at one over 37 from the gold tees. Out of the 8 pars - six were up and downs…the lone bogie included a water ball penalty stroke.  At the turn, game shifted to my typical reality as it was a 45 with open and close dbls on 10 and 18, with five bogies and two pars strewn in between. Still a solid 82 overall - with 28 total putts (incl one 3 putt) 5 GIR and 5 nGIR.   Oh the highlight of the day - the ladies’ teaching pro was in our foursome and she was very complimentary of my overall approach and wedge game.  It made those drills in the backyard well worth the time spent.
