Ping G10 Irons have different shafts in the same set?

[speedracer92lx]

I just bought a set of G10 XG irons from the Ping factory.

Simple but interesting question.

Irons 4-8 have the correct shaft sticker on them which is the ZZ65 steel shaft. Irons 9,PW, and SW have a similar sticker but do not indicate this shaft type.

Does PING do this on purpose? The shafts look indentical but the short irons do not indicate the shaft type. Any ping guys know whats going on? thx

There is actually a sticker on the 4-8 that say they are Z-Z65 shafts?  Reason being I bought i15 irons with Z-Z65 shafts and I do not remember a sticker on any of the shafts...or are you talking about the black label that says somehting like True Temper (I do not remember this saying Z-Z65 either)?  So are you saying there is not any label on the short irons?  Weird...it should have that black label that at least says something like True Temper becuase that's who makes the Z-Z65 shaft for PING (actually the Z-Z65 shaft is basically an S300 DGSL)...check out the specs.  Great shafts!

Went down to PING to have them to take a look at the shafts and the rep stated that on some of the older stock of shafts they used stickers and on the last 3 irons in my set they just happened to not print the silk screen black letters. All of the shafts say "true temper" on them but the last 3 irons PING and ZZ65 happened to not be printed on them, no big deal.

Went down and hit these the other day, they feel different and will probably take some getting used to due the clubs being at a different lie angle than my old Dunlop clubs and just a different feel overall. Was hitting alot of these shots off the hosel area. Really excited to start swinging these well though.
