G15 Mishap - Reshaft or replace?

[LocoPatrick]

The shaft on my Ping G15 6-iron broke. It's the standard AWT shaft, regular flex. It was a mishap, and not a club defect that led to the breakage.

I can get a replacement at Morton Golf Sales for $50.00 plus shipping. I've been looking at Morton, and considering adding a 4-iron to my setup since I have been hitting the 5-iron so well.

Or I could send the pieces to PING to repair the club.

Replace or repair? Any recommendations?

Thanks!

Well you'll save some money just repairing it but $50 is a good price for a replacement. If there was anything custom done to it, color code, length, swing weight, I would send it to PING.

Morton actually includes that in the price--length, lie color code, grip color code. I'm thinking that since I would like to get the 4-iron, go ahead and get both from Morton and save on shipping. I'm basically looking for a sanity check to see if there is anything I have not considered.

Ok cool, sounds good then. I know Morton's has a great reputation.

I had 3 of my G15 shafts break under normal playing conditions.  Ping re-shafted each one for no charge.  All i paid were the shipping charges to Ping.  Call customer service they are super nice.

This. Same thing for me. I had an 8 iron break on me due to accident and sent it in, they repaired it and sent it back. Ping has awesome customer service and support for their clubs.
