Hello all,
I'm looking for shafts with which to reshaft my old Ping Eye2 irons. I just took them out of the closet the other day, for no other reason than to use an "easy to hit" set early in the season while waiting to find my form. It has been at least 4 years since I have played them - my regular set are Maltby MMB Forged irons with TT DG Lite S400 shafts, soft stepped x 1. They've been no problem. Well I took these Eye2s out to the range the other day and these ZZ-Lite shafts are like boards! I have no feel with them whatsoever and though the dispersion was fairly tight, everything was to the right. Everything. That's unusual for me, as I usually draw the ball. On one hand, I suppose it wouldn't be such a bad thing for a guy like me to play stiff shafts to help me fight the Lefts, but these seem ridiculous. I had a set of Zings that I bought on eBay a year and a half ago that also had ZZ-lites and these were totally boardy too.
So what more well known shafts do these ZZ-lites compare to? I've hit DG S300s and the DG Lite S400s like I said, as well as the Project X 5.5 and 5.0. Those are all OK. The PX 6.0s are a little too boardy for me as well. My index is 5.7 and driver SS in low 100s, 5 lron SS in the low 80s. I have a smooth but slightly faster than average tempo.
Has anyone else had this experience with the ZZ-lite shafts? And if you reshafted them, what did you use? I'm interested to hear the combinations other people have tried. I have a total of 2 Eye2 sets and 1 Zing set, all with the ZZ-lites, and my Dad and brother have my other 2 sets. I'm thinking of reshafting for them too because their swing speeds are slower than mine and if these ZZ-lites are too stiff for me then they're practically unplayable for them, especially my 72 year old Dad.
Looking forward to hearing from you all..
