Ping G5---Need help!

[Ken1222]

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
