Looking at the Ping website, I don't see many shaft options for the drivers. I only see the choices of the three stock shafts that they put in the drivers.

I want to order a G10 in a 7.5 with an Aldila NV 75 X-Stiff shaft, but I don't want to pay a huge upcharge. Does anyone know if Ping does deal with shafts other than the ones they have stock in their drivers?

Go to the WRX tab on Ping's main page and you can see a whole bunch of shaft options. http://www.pinggolf.com/wrx_index.html I am not sure if you will be upcharged for the shafts... I am also curious about the upcharge part since I just became a Ping supporter... Check out the "Going from Titleist to Ping" thread...

Thanks for the tip on the WRX section of the website. I went over to my country club today and they called Ping and asked about all the shaft options. Many of the shafts listed are available at a slight upcharge. The maximunm upcharge for any of the shafts is $40.

By the way, I also might be kicking my Scotty out of the bag for the Redwood Anser. The Redwood is definetly the coolest looking putter out there, and the performance isn't too bad either!

I am just wondering if you or anyone know the difference between karsten series and the redwood series... Also, i-series... Comparison, review etc?

    • Day 11: did mirror work for a while. Worked on the same stuff. 
    • I'm not sure you're calculating the number of strokes you would need to give correctly. The way I figure it, a 6.9 index golfer playing from tees that are rated 70.8/126 would have a course handicap of 6. A 20-index golfer playing from tees that are rated 64/106 would have a course handicap of 11. Therefore, based on the example above, assuming this is the same golf course and these index & slope numbers are based on the different tees, you should only have to give 5 strokes (or one stroke on the five most difficult holes if match play) not 6. Regardless, I get your point...the average golfer has no understanding of how the system works and trying to explain it to people, who haven't bothered to read the documentation provided by either the USGA or the R&A, is hopeless. In any case, I think the WHS as it currently is, does the best job possible of leveling the playing field and I think most golfers (obviously, based on the back & forth on this thread, not all golfers) at least comprehend that.   
    • Day 115 12-5 Skills work tonight. Mostly just trying to be more aware of the shaft and where it's at. Hit foam golf balls. 
    • Day 25 (5 Dec 25) - total rain day, worked on tempo and distance control.  
    • Yes it's true in a large sample like a tournament a bunch of 20 handicaps shouldn't get 13 strokes more than you. One of them will have a day and win. But two on one, the 7 handicap is going to cover those 13 strokes the vast majority of the time. 20 handicaps are shit players. With super high variance and a very asymmetrical distribution of scores. Yes they shoot 85 every once in a while. But they shoot 110 way more often. A 7 handicap's equivalent is shooting 74 every once in a while but... 86 way more often?
