While PING makes some of the best driver heads in golf, it’s not known for golf shafts. When you buy a “PING club,” you’re likely getting it with another manufacturer’s golf shaft fitted to it.
Which is fine. Specialization drives economic excellence, after all. But that’s little help to you if you’re looking to re-outfit a PING G425 and don’t know what shaft to choose.
In lieu of an actual PING golf driver shaft, we suggest one of the following.
1.Mitsubishi TENSEI AV RAW Orange
The Mitsubishi TENSEI AV RAW Orange produces mid-launch and low-spin profiles to maximize distance and control shot dispersion.
The RAW Orange is a series of counterbalanced shafts that have their balance points shifted higher on the shaft towards the butt section.
This higher balance point empowers players to tinker with the performance of the outfit by adjusting the weight of the driver’s head or by altering the length of the shaft since most of the mass is situated higher on the shaft.
These shafts are also made with ultra-lightweight carbon fiber and contain low resin concentrations; they’re also reinforced through aluminum vapor deposition which stabilizes the shaft. With a thinner and tighter weave, these shafts resist ovaling under force.
These shafts are tops if you need a PING golf driver shaft that produces mid-launch profiles and consistently low launch, for longer drives and tighter control over shot dispersion.
2.Aldila ROGUE White
Like the Mitsubishi TENSEI AV RAW Orange series, the Aldila ROGUE White also features a high balance point that is the product of thicker fiber shaft walls near the butt of the shaft. This results in lighter shafts that can produce higher club head speeds.
Aldila ROGUE White golf shafts are also made with DIALEAD Pitch Fiber that is extremely strong, resists ovaling and shaft deformation, and has excellent energy transfer properties.
Stronger than shafts made using traditional carbon fiber, and with similar properties (high balance point and strong fibers that resist deformation under stress), the Aldila ROGUE White will also produce consistent mid-launch and low profiles that will help golfers extend their ranges while controlling shot dispersion.
