New shafts

JohnnyROCKS · #1 08-06-2007, 09:19 AM

I have a set of Ping Zing irons. I purchased these second hand from a good friend who used them for one Michigan summer back in 1995. Through the years I have replaced 3 shafts after they broke off of the clubhead at the hossle. All the shafts are mostly at the stage of being bent at the hossle now and need to be replaced at the end of this year.

My question is, how much should this cost? I think I'm going to take them to Golfsmith to get replaced.

Thanks.

With new grips probably around $20 per stick. Can't go wrong with good old DG R or S 300's or X100's depending on which is right for you.

They're not bent that badly.

Under $200 is cheaper then a modern set. What would I gain by purchasing a modern set? I'm still very happy with my current set. But open to the idea of buying a new set.

If your happy with your current set stick with them. You wn't gain much by switching to the "new" stuff.

That's what I figure.

My 2-Iron has a slightly bent shaft from hitting out of the desert (hit a large iceberg like submerged rock). I think I've just adjusted to it, probably not the best thing in the world but it's not that bent.
