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?

      LIFT Your Freakin' Arms

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Probably since the golfer has to swing the club back and up. The hands have to move back and up. You can feel them go back and up just by turning the shoulders and bending the right arm, because it brings your hands towards your right shoulder.  The difference is if you maintain width or not. Less width means a shorter feeling swing path so the more you need to lift the arms. Being as someone who gets the right arm bend at 110+ degrees, it's 100% a timing issue. I am use to like a 1.5+ second backswing. It probably should be like 1 second at most. Half a second or more will feel like an eternity. I have had swings where I keep my right arm straighter and I am still trying to time the downswing based on the old tempo.  Ideally, for me, it is probably going to be a much quicker and shorter (in duration) backswing, while keeping the right elbow straighter. Which also means more hinging to get swing length without over swinging.

      LIFT Your Freakin' Arms

      By Ty_Webb · Posted

      I'm currently recuperating from surgery, so no golf, but have been thinking about this quite a bit. This and the don't overbend the right arm thing. It's hard for me to even pose the position, so I'm not 100% sure, but I feel like it's impossible to have the right humerus along the shirt seam and not overbend your right arm, unless your hands are down near your hips. If the left arm is up at or above the shoulder plane and your right arm is bent less than 90 degrees, then your right humerus has to raise or your hands will get pulled apart. Your left hand can't reach your right hand unless either the right upper arm is up or the right arm is overbent. Is that right? If it is, then focusing on not overbending the right arm would force you to raise the humerus. And actually thinking further on it, if you do overbend your right arm, then you're basically forcing your upper arm down or forcing your left arm to bend. Since (for me at least) bending the left arm too much is not something I think I need to worry about, it means that the bend in the trail arm is really the driving force behind what happens to the right humerus.

      I managed to knock off a 3, a 13, and a 15 a couple of weeks ago. The 3 was a 185 yard par 3 with a 6 iron to 12 feet. 13 was a 350 yard par 4, which was a 2 iron and a 9 iron to about a foot. 15 was a 560 yard par 5 with a driver in a bunker, 4 iron into the semi, gap wedge to 8 feet and a putt.
