3 wood fading

[Harley-D]

New 3 wood has started fading. Was going straight at the range. Grrrrr.

Any thoughts? Could it be a duff lol.

But seriously, i was experimenting with the standard ping "alda"? Shaft, but was persuaded to order with the "better" shaft. The one with the orange ring on it.

Just buy a new one with a draw setting.

You're an amateur golfer (educated guess), its more than likely down to your swing not being the same from 1 day to the next. It doesnt take much in the path/club face relationship to change to alter the shape on a club as long as the 3 wood.

Though, are you talking a slight fade or a big slice?

Unfortunately its more likely to be your swing that causing the fade.

Aim left ???

Many a true word spoken in jest

OP should realise that new clubs always go straight on the range/during the fitting so you buy them. It's a bit like when you meet a new girlfriend and then get married (without the Mother in Law!)

Your clubface is open to your swingpath. That's what makes the ball fade, nothing else.

When I went for a fitting the Pro recommended the Alta in stiff but I too went for the Tensei (in Reg) but I found it was a shaft that need a bit of oomph put in to shot to perform really well and ended up buying the Alta second hand.
