Steve!
How's it going?
I am getting all new irons. My shafts on the old pings were at least 0.5 inch too short. My fitter had me try 0.5" longer steel, and 1" longer steel and the same with graphite. I actually feel better with the 1" longer clubs. Unfortunately, it's difficult to bend Ping heads because they might crack, and then I'll need to buy a whole new iron if that happens.
I also felt that 1" longer steel shafts were 'heavy' and the fitter got some nice graphite shafts that have something like 40 (or 70?) miles of thin metal wire wrapped around the shaft. I hit some some with those shafts and I really liked the results. Getting my old clubs reshafted (and the inherent risk of bending them) would cost as much as buying a brand new set.
So I sold my old clubs for $350 on ebay and the new set is something like $650. The brand new set is really only going to run me $300 now, which isn't bad at all (my mom is pissed that I am doing this, because more golf means less attention to the Phd).
best,
Erik

Bman-
That seems to be one pesky upload. Hope it works, eventually. Sorry that it has been so much trouble.
We had a nice day for a change up here and I spent an hour or two on the range this afternoon. Most things we worked on seem to be coming along. I picked up a driver similar to yours from eBay (Comp 460, 10.5* loft vs. your 9.5*, ProLaunch 65S) and hit it great. I'll try to get hooked up on a launch monitor this spring, but, in the meantime, this is a real upgrade. My Nak 420 goes on eBay. It is 10*, has a Fuji 553 stiff, and was assembled by Joe Kwok, if anyone is looking for one.
Working pretty hard on the flat left wrist. My bad swings seemed to be mostly under the plane; to address this I tried to rotate left more on the downswing. Later in the session, I seemed to be snatching the club inside. A little more extension against the #2 pressure point would seem in order here. I also think I was losing too much flex in the knees, which was slowing down my rotation and making me more "armsy". As you'd expect, I hit the best drives when I kept the shoulders and wrists real loose.
Thanks again for your help in Orlando!
