I picked up a set of Ping eye 2s with (mostly) DG S200U shafts; I feel these shafts are a just a bit too stiff for me.

The 2 iron has a Ping shaft but no flex. It has a black top band, a blue Ping man and a blue bottom band. It is hard to get a sense of feel for this shaft. Can anyone tell me what flex and weight it is?

The 3 iron has a "TT lite" shaft in R flex (green and black shaft sticker). I like the feel of this one. Searching the net for details, I find only "TT Lite XL". Can anyone tell me if TT lite is basically the same thing as TT Lite XL or what the difference is?

Thanks

I have a set of :ping: Eye 2 irons that have a similar set of shafts in it. TT Lite XL is the updated version of the TT Lite that's literally all I can find as well. Are you sure it's not ZZ-Lite? That's the Ping version of the shaft... But True Temper made that shaft exclusively for :ping:. Which was a flexed version of the TT-Lite. The TT Lite XL is a multi-flex mid-flex shaft meaning depending on how you tip trim it dictates its flex.

Thanks for that.

The TT lite is definately not a Ping shaft because today I managed to pick up a couple of old 3 irons with the same TT lite shafts for only R40, I will swap them into the 4 and 5 irons. The Ping shaft in the 2 iron is still an enigma. I will be happy if it is a light weight regular flex then I can just leave it.

I am not sure that I can tell the difference between R or S but not knowing, plays with my mind when I hit it less than well - was it me? was it the shaft?

Usually the further up the shaft the first step is the softer the flex (If the shaft has steps)

The ping shaft with the blue bottom band and black top band is the Ping zz lite shaft.  You can google it for info or specs.  I have them in my old Eye2 irons.  I never looked into them much.  They only came in one flex...stiff.

    • It sucks to carry around a lot of water, but ideally it should be way more than we think.  I buy those gallon jugs of water and hang them from my pushcart when I walk. I agree with the electrolytes as well. You don't just sweat out water, but you lose electrolytes as well. 
    • A 2010 study from the Journal of Strength & Conditioning Research compares the effects of different pre-round stretch routines for competitive golfers. Active Dynamic Warm-up: Swing Medicus driver, hit 3 shots each with selected clubs. Passive Static Stretches: Various athletic stretches such as hamstrings, chest stretch and reverse trunk twist. The subjects were collegiate golfers with a HDCP index of 5 or less who engaged regularly in strength and fitness routines. All golfers had two test days: one with active dynamic (AD) warmup, a second with AD followed by static stretches (SS). The results were then compared, within golfers and across golfers. For performance testing after the warmups, golfers hit three driver shots at time 0, 15, 30 and 45 minutes after the warmup. The study shows that static stretch formats produced poorer performance outcomes in the four measures shown in Table 5, which shows Time Zero results. The performance deficits under the PSS protocol decreased over time. Some suggestions on why the passive protocol was tied to lower performance than the active protocol: The passive stretches routine induced excessive range of motion,  basically producing wobbles in the golf swing. Other research indicates that the stretching produced slack in the tendons, lessening the amount of muscle force that could be transferred into the shot. One caveat: The study had good scientific controls and balancing of treatments (test routines). This was, however, an exploratory study and raises as many questions as it answers. Also, although the study was done back in 2010, it is still cited as a primary work in recent reviews. A quick online search did not reveal any follow-ups on the study. For those interested, the study PDF is below. PassiveStretchGOLF.pdf  
    • I have trouble with vertigo on occasion, but have gotten nutritional and biofeedback tips to keep it at bay. Dehydration can help trigger v-like symptoms so one recommendation, along with maintaining overall hydration, is to start with 8 oz. of water early in the morning. A meta-analysis on Golf As Physical Activity indicated that golf is rated as a moderately intensive physical activity. This scientific literature review came from the University of Edinburgh. The physical activity level ties into hydration. A former university colleague was a marathon runner who had published a couple of articles on endurance training. He likewise said that golf was a moderate physical activity especially when the round stretched past  the two-hour mark. For hydration he recommended switching from water to electrolyte drink on the back nine (past two hour point of exercise) to prevent cramping. At the two-hour point of moderate activity, water starts flushing electrolytes out of the body, which can lead to fatigue and cramping. (I have had trouble with leg cramps in the past during exertion.) During a round, I start out with water on the front nine and switch to sports drink on the back nine. If the day is unusually hot, I may drink 8 oz. of Pedialite concentrate before going to the course. Maintaining overall hydration plus on-course boosters keeps me going.
    • Personally I’d try booking direct first - either via the Vidanta golf reservations number/email or through the resort concierge - especially for Christmas/New Year. Vidanta’s main courses (Greg Norman and Nicklaus designs) are popular and can book out fast this time of year, so direct often gives you the best shot at your preferred tee times.
