Thanks @jim8flog. I've spoken to the seller who claims it was replaced at a pro shop local to me and a shaft had been sourced from Ping. It looks and feels sound. But I wouldn't have thought Ping would send a shaft to a pro shop and let them glue it in. I'd have expected the club head to be sent...

I bought a set of Ping ISI irons today from someone local on gumtree. They were only £70 and are black dot which I think will be more correct than my current red dot, maybe 0.75 deg lie isn't much but it's enough of an excuse for another set! I was looking with my magnifying glasses to read the...

My son had his kids lesson session tonight at a local top tracer range so off I went with my bag. I only managed to get my drives up to 171 yards. 5 shots with a 9deg Ping G10 and two were 171. About 20 shots with my Srixon 10.5 deg and only one shot at 171. So a bit odd with the higher loft for...

Cool. In that case the majority of my good old cheap clubs like my Ping Zing irons, Ping Bergen putter and older Callaway wedges are perfect. The only bad thing about my golf is me. I think I'm going to start my own second hand club website with the slogan "when your this sh*t who needs tech" 😆 🤣 😂

@jim8flog I had to think about this aswell. But assuming the shaft is a straight stick. In relation to this straight stick the club head is rotated backwards to kick up the face and raise the loft. The club head is also pulled inwards to close the face in relation to the straight stick. The...

Hi. Often a slice which I have counteracted by aiming slightly left to land back on the fairway. My better shots go slightly left then curve back to straight but when that happens I don't know what I've done differently!

Appreciate your honesty @Backsticks it's very helpful. Regarding adjustable equipment though it makes me think from your comments that even for competent players it's a waste of time and a bit of a gimmick.

I suppose that's my concern. Can I get better and put it back to standard. Or will I be instilling bad habits and then struggle to remove them in time. Because I'm playing better due to the club not my learning.

I am new to golf, been playing about 3 months. Ive been getting on ok but the more effort I put into getting more distance the more I get some pretty impressive aerobatic slices. So I went for a lesson, we were back to basics and my grip was changed etc. Coach said forget distance improvement...

Interesting debate so far. So typically in any learning environment there are big gains early on then it gets harder to make the gains or the gains are smaller for the time and effort put in. I don't expect miracles from a forum debate which out being able to watch my swing. But typically what...

I was a bit anti hybrid, rescue etc and about adjusting clubs to compensate for slice etc. My theory has been to go traditional and try and learn to play properly rather than using things I may be better with. But I understand the differing opinions on this. I'm an extreme case I suppose in that...

I stupidly thought about setting the club in its middle setting in isolation. But after comments here I've considered my driver and 5 and reset the 3 to 15deg. It might make it harder to hit for me but I will try. I sometimes wonder if adjustable clubs are a bit of a gimmick. Both of mine are...

Exactly that. I stood rock solid and was nowhere near a little foot flick. I couldn't understand where that flick could possibly come from. I kept pulling muscles in my right side. First lesson my coach changed my grip. I think it's standard for all you lot on here but new to me. Left hand...

Hello I have just picked up a pair of Nike Vapour woods 3 and 5 for £30 each in great condition. The 5 is fixed at 19deg but the 3 is adjustable from 13deg to 17deg. I use a Srixon adjustable driver which I have set at neutral and 10.5deg as it would come new. I have initially set the 3 wood to...

That's a good point. I was visually swaying my hips right then left. My problem is not being able to throw the club through the arc using my core and legs. It's all arm power. Initially my arms were both equally bent at the elbows. New grip has straightened and stiffened my left arm so that...
