the one that works the best. Have you hit each of them? They are all excellent brands and all make an excellent product. The secret is to find the shaft that matches your style of play, not the other way around.

In my bag:

some golf clubs

a few golf balls

a bag of tee's some already broken the rest soon to be

a snickers wrapper (if you have seen me play, you would know you are not going anywhere for a while)

and an empty bottle of water

By looks, i like the RIP shaft. I think its just an awesome looking shaft.

But i wouldn't pick any of them. Maybe the Matrix Radix is the highest i would pay for a golf shaft. I just orderd a Proforce V2 75X, $60 dollars but a very very solid golf shaft.

Have played Graphite Design shafts for years and am a big fan. That said, shaft choice is a delicate matter and should always involve personal testing, ideally with a launch monitor and pro's advice.

D is actually The Graphite Design Tour AD DI shaft. It is an absolutely wicked shaft. I have made swing changes with my pro and hit the ball much lower so after fitting the high launch of the Tour AD DI was a perfect for me.

Well i hate that the ping G10 is a 0.350 golf head, I couldn't find any adaptor for the ping G10. So, i will be going with the UST V2 75X extra stiff shaft.

You wouldn't need any adaptor. What you need is a Shim, a brass metal thing to stuff the hosel. And it wouldn't make any difference on feel or performance (a golfer asked me about this before).

Any clubmaker (at any golf shop) can perform that job. I have used .335 shafts on my Ping G5's .350 hosel many many times.

      Code of Conduct Not Entered as Local Rule - Still Valid?

      By cdh79 ·

      So I am aware that "the committee is allowed to set its own standards of player conduct in a code of conduct adopted as a local rule" (rule 1.2b) I also understand that there are some aspects that are allowed to be entered, and some that are not allowed.  My question specifically is: In which form does this code of conduct need to be available? Is it enough for someone to say "that's part of our code of conduct", or is it a requirement, that the code of conduct is in written form? Also, is there a need that the local rule points to the code of conduct in any way?   For better understanding: I'm playing competition and the next course that we play has a "no smoking policy". I don't have a problem with it, as I don't smoke anyway, but one of my team-mates does, and someone told him "You'll get disqualified if you smoke on the course".   Now I have looked at their local rules and there is no reference to a "code of conduct". I'm not sure if they even have an official "code of conduct" that states that smoking is not allowed.   I fully agree that he SHOULD respect this request from the club, but I am wondering if the club would really be allowed to DQ this player for this, if it's not properly documented in their local rules/code of conduct?  This is an official national amateur tournament, so not just something organized by a club for its members.

      My Journey to Straighter Iron Shots

      By MiuraMan ·

      A few months back I purchased the following swing aid on Amazon ($130). It is solidly made of steel and heavy and stable in use. I use it both at the range and at home. Swing Plate Dual PRO by Jamie Brittain - Swing Analyzer Aid - Fits Standard 8mm Alignment Rod Sticks - Teaching Swing Plane Perfector - Indoor/Outdoor Golfing Practice. This winter I set a goal for myself to improve my backswing/downswing to be more consistent and on plane. I had a two way miss with my approach shots this past golf season. I have a hitting set-up in my garage, but I needed something to provide feedback while swinging the club. I came across the Swing Plate while browsing YouTube.   I set it up with the correct angles for my 8 iron. I started out with just the back rod in place, which prevents me from getting too far inside on the backswing. Started out slow and as I got comfortable increased my swing speed. Now I also came across a YouTube video on building a better backswing and getting more width in the backswing and added that to my practice. That video is here:    This video is a bit wordy since you are basically a fly on the wall as Ian gets a lesson. It took a few replays to be able to get the substance of the instruction. It was well worth the effort. Over the last two weeks I have been able to get out on the course and gauge how successful my practice has been. Overall, my consistency with approach shots has improved greatly. Incorporating the added width in my swing has also added a few yards to all my clubs.  What has your off-season training been like?
