Hi Guys,

I am looking at costing changing to new shafts for my irons (Stiff) I have spoken to a club maker where I live and he has costed changing each shaft in my irons (4-PW) at £15 a club, this includes...

"removal of old shafts - trim new shafts to match my orig spec (+1/4") - fit new shafts and grips and re-swing weight back to original specifications"

I asked how he would re-swing weight as I did not want any ugly shite stuck to my club heads

He said

"all swing weighting is done with lead powder and cork down inside the shafts so its not visible to the eye."

Is this right for adjusting swing weight and how would this not come loose?

He also said that I need .355 Taper tipped for the Ping i15's, is that right?

Thinking I may just order a new set direct from Ping in my spec with stiff shafts and then sell mine, may work out cheaper?

Hi Guys,

You do know that the cost you quoted was probably without grips and shafts right? What did he quote you for shaft prices? You could always send your irons back to Ping to get reshafted too. Or sell yours and buy new ones.

.355T is correct for Ping Irons.

Aye yes I know that the shafts and grips are extra, I am getting shafts Dynamic Gold £120 or KBS Tour £140 4-PW and GP TV .58 round for £2.93 each.

I am also going to price it up with Ping for re-fitting with stiff AWT shafts.

Could be. If you send them back to ping, they can put different weights in to get your sw where you want it. No lead powder in the shaft.

How about the

One way to adjust swing weight is to add weight to the head. This is accomplished by adding small piece of iron with 2 grams increment. They are inserted into the hosel or glued (use epoxy) to the shaft tip. They won't come loose because they are glued using high strength epoxy.

I've reshafted my irons couple time and this is what the Clubmaker did. Do not worry that the weight will come loose because it won't.

This is completely false. Changing grip weights will change the swing weight of the club. Cutting the shaft down will change the swing weight of the club. Adding shaft extensions will change the swing weight of the club.

I should be a spelling machine? I didn't correct any of your spelling. "One way to adjust" is a far cry from "the only way to adjust."

I said you are like my spelling machine..... OK!?

PS I know all the methods to change a club swing weight. Adding weight is "one way" to do it.

NO need to send them back to Ping. All clubmakers can do this easy task.

Lead powder is one way to add weight to the head. It's a standard method.

I am saying if he sends them back to Ping for reshafting they can put a different weighted medallion on the back to get to the sw he wants.

No, you said:

Insinuating that I merely corrected your spelling and/or grammar. When in fact I correct a false statement made by you. Are you having problems remembering what you wrote this morning? Or are you not saying what you mean?

      Day 8 (28 Jun 26) - Worked with face position at address and overall setup - open/neutral/closed - and setting up for resulting shot shapes - using 8i and hard foam balls.  It was abbreviated as the thunder began to rumble. Got in about 20 swings before calling it.

      My Swing (GolfLug)

      By GolfLug · Posted

      Tale of two swings.  Swing 1: Slightly outside takeaway (hands move outside of target line) only to allow trail elbow over collapsing at P4. Doesn't take much to overdo it for the trail elbow collapse to only further exaggerate. That's death. Swing 2: Hands stay slight in at takeaway for a much better trail elbow condition at P4. This is a hard sell from an instinct perspective. More focus on un-weighting and re-weighting of lead foot to unlock a bit more mobility of hips and torso. A major flaw that creeps up often is me swinging flat footed and becoming overly armsy-collapsy as a result. Got reminded of this the hard way during my 2nd round match for club net championship. Was cruising along 2up until I made the turn. Then lost the swing for next five holes. Andy was playing good enough to capitalize. By the time I regained my swing on 16th, it was too late. Even Andy was like "That was a gift". Obviously that stings because have played well enough lately. Should have closed him out of the game comfortably with a few holes to spare. Shoulda woulda coulda. Tough lesson. Damn. P.S. I know the swings look very similar but trust me there is a difference.
