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.

    • 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?
