i have a ping g5 driver and have just purchased a grafalloy prototype hot pink shaft for it, it came today from america and the tip size is .335" , i took it to the pro shop this morning before work to see if he could fit it, and he mentioned something about whether the shaft wil fit into the hosel on the driver, just realised by looking on the internet that the shaft requirment for my G5 is .350" does this make it impossible to have it fitted or could something be done???

i dont want to have to send the shaft all the way back to america to have it changed, any replies appreciated

sounds like your options are what can your pro shop do to help you out, go back on line and make a list of the drivers that use that size of tip and sell it to someone that can use it, buy a new head that will fit your shaft and use it or sell it as a complete driver, return it to get the right shaft and be happy if it's the right shaft for you. Now you learned before you order a part make sure it's the right one. The cost of shipping to and from the United States may not be worth the extra cash since you've paid for it once already.

its all ok now, emailed a place that do special treatment, they said its easily done, all they need to do is fit an adaptor and this lets you fit .335 shaft onto a .350 hosel. thanks anyway golf chief, they said it can be done and returned for £19

Let us know how it works after you play a couple of rounds with it. Not much room for an adaptor with only a .015 gap.

golfchief,

.015 is plenty of room for an adaptor, they work seamlessly. I have never had an adaptor (what I use for FT-3's), or brass shim (what I use for all other clubs) ever fail on a customer or myself. Shimming a club is a very well established and accepted method of using a smaller diameter shaft in a larger hosel.

      Determining Out of Bounds

      I wonder if that is why my home course basically have no stakes now.  Not even markers.  It’s completely up to golfers to remember what is OB and hazard and how things used to be marked.     Even in tournaments, there is no marking and certain areas are played differently by different golfers who either don’t know better or use it to their advantage funny reading thru this with courses that actually have markers

      Electrolytes

      By Elmer · Posted

      Great post, thanks for the informaiton. I try to avoid adding salt to anything I eat. I tend to add pepper on to my meals as opposed to salt. And I am trying to eat as clean on possible. On golf day, I eat 3 eggs for breakfast (pepper NO salt) and a salad for lunch, with grilled chicken thigs (pepper, garlic, no salt). I have been trying to avoid processed food, but we all slip. I also should have mentioned that the electrolyte packet calls for mixing with 16 oz of water, however I mix in 32 oz of water, so I dilute the electrolyte powder.

      LIV Golf Now Closed?

      By imsys0042 · Posted

      So if I read the news correctly, the PIF will not fund LIV after this season.  LIV is trying to find new funding and a number of players there are now asking about getting back to the Tour.    I am very, very concerned that Taylor Gooch will not have a place where he can make a jackass out of himself soon

      It is a known technique, similar to the armed forces box technique. They use a 4x4 , in through the nose and out through the mouth. I use it to go to sleep fairly often. It works for me
