Hi....I have played Ping clubs for serveral years..and yes the Ping soft regular shaft is equivilant to the senior shaft or A flex of many shaft designations.
You can replace that shaft with any on the market. Since that shaft came with the Ping ISI Irons and had a firm flex, since the W44 were regular, you should get a stiff shaft put in for a replacement.
This is a Ping graphite shaft that was sold with the ISI model Ping Irons in the nineties. The w54 was a firm stiffness-not regular-but it was very light weight shaft at that time.
Take the grip off. If there is a green mark at the butt end of the shaft the shaft is stiff.
They are just the same thing. When they first came out they were known as utility clubs, they just had bigger heads on a standard iron shaft. But the soon evolved into an iron/wood mix, with a head which had the loft of and iron and the design of a wood on a longer shaft. There are also utility wedges, Ping makes these, they have nothing to do with hybrid clubs, it is essentially a gap wedge.
The Ping Rapture V2 is probably the most forgiving driver on the market. But the Callaway Diablo wouldn't be far off it.
Try regular 87 Octane - if it does not "ping" excessively you should be OK - if it does "ping" excessively try 89 octane
They realte to the Ping custom fitting system, it determines which lie angle you should have on your clubs as well as shaft length.
As long as it does not "ping" excessively
As a metric of network performance, Ping, also known as Network Latency, is a measurement of the time that it take for a small message (or a "Ping") to be sent from your computer to another computer on the internet, then returned back to you. Ping is typically measured in milliseconds. Low numeric results or a "Low Ping" is desirable for good network performance over a "High Ping". Ping is also the name of of command-line command that can be typed to initiate a "ping" and measure the time that it takes for the message be returned to your computer.
I have drivers with both shafts. I like the Graffaloy Prolite(3.5)shaft because my swing speed has slowed, at 52yrs old, and it is the most responsive shaft I have ever had. More swing speed helps you get the ball up higher and the Adila NV 65 has a high kick point which keeps the ball lower. If you swing at 95 mph or more I think you would really love the NV. I will say I can hit my Adila shaft low and straight. If you swing below 95 you might look at the new NVS. JB Interesting question as I'm undergoing the same experimentation. I've been hitting a Ping Driver (TSI) for several years with the Graffalloy Pro Lite Stiff shaft. Recently a weight inside the clubhead came loose. A Ping G210 degree with the Aldila 65 R-Flex shaft was too good to pass up. On the launch monitor, I found that I actually preferred the stock Ping shaft (1000) in a R -flex. But this club came with the Aldila and with the promise that my seller (local golf retailer) would re-shaft back to the Ping if I didn't like the Aldila. My first two rounds have been inconclusive with the Aldila. I have smoked a number of drives yet have also been inconsistent in my flight pattern. Notoriously straight off the tee, I've faded and hooked the Aldila. This rarely happened with the Graffaloy Pro Lite.I'm 6'2" tall, about to turn 60,in good shape, and a 6 handicap, but the mind games seem to start around this age and one wonders if transitioning from Stiff to Regular is beneficial. My guess is that I will go back to a Stiff shaft for the near if not forseeable future and my shaft will be Graffolloy Pro Lite pulled from my old Ping. Jim Gulley
Sort of, one of the models of Ping putters is called the 'My Day'. -------------- Yes, I own a PING DAY PUTTER. The "My Day" is a different shape with the shaft entering the putter head somewhat toward the center - while the "Day" has the shaft fully off the heel of the head. The "My Day" seemed to be more readily available than the "Day".
