For those of you that carry Ping irons in the bag do you have the dampening system in in your shafts. I guess it is an extra $5 per shaft.

S55's and i25's currently but in all the PING irons I've had I've never had the cushion inserts put in. Some guys like them.

I heard some guys talking about buying them and installing them in their shafts but I didn't know it had anything to do with Ping.

I suppose you could install them on any iron whether it was a Ping or not?

I think it use to be more popular, PING doesn't promote as much either.

You sure can. Of course, it doesn't have to be Ping's proprietary system either - Sensicore has been around for even longer. Surprised nobody has heard of either...

That conversation I heard between the guys that were installing them may have been about the Sensicore (and probably was). I didn't hear them mention the name.

Yep, it dampened the vibration/shock from smacking the mat to hard..lol Seriously, on off hits it did help. Funny thing was, I didn't order the sensicore, just came with my set of clubs.

Shock dampeners first became popular among senior golfers. Now, many seniors use graphite shafts in their irons and wedges, which makes Cushin and Sensicore inserts less necessary.

Also, some people who build their own clubs use strands of insulation as homemade Sensicore. Rumors persist, however, about Sensicore or the insulation strands causing rusting within shafts, as they absorb moisture.

Here's a thread from last year on "homemade" Sensicore, including a suggested "no rust" solution:

      Day 37: did my drill swings in the garage with foam balls for about 15 minutes. Working on getting my backswing more turned and then going from there.

      Retaining Trail Knee Flex in the Backswing

      By iacas · Posted

      Thanks but honestly… I don't know any other way. I don't mind being wrong so long as I know where to go from there. I don't like being wrong — I'd love to get things right (which is different than "being right"). I recommend grabbing a furniture slider or a paper plate or something, and doing something like this: First, make a swing where you let your trail foot swing out as you turn, then twist that foot back in. From DL and FO, it'll look like this: Then, during a regular backswing, try to twist your foot in slightly (demonstrated in the left image): You'll notice a crease along the trail side of your hip, your pelvis will "fold" into that thigh (internal rotation of the hip joint), and your "bits" will be squished a little between your pelvis and your thigh. Ben Hogan said once: "At the top of the back swing the groin muscle on the inside of your rt [sic] leg near your right nut will tighten," Hogan wrote. "This subtle feeling of tightness there tells you that you have made the correct move back from the ball." I don't know about that, but you will probably feel something down around that area.

      Yep. I think it will start to feel even more athletic when we start on the downswing stuff later.  I know, it's just I want to be younger so I have more time to enjoy the changes. 🙂
