Ping eye 2 + shaft question

Hi
I am about to pull the teigiger in a used Iron Set ping eye 2 +. The seller tells me the Shafts in These Irons are " Steel , stiff flex and the shaft Band says carwin" does anybody know if this is a original OEM shaft from ping?the seller says he Bought them from ping with this shaft . I could Not find Anything about this shaft in the Internet so Maybe somebody Here Knows of These Shafts are OEM from ping and about the shaft Details. Best regards

No such thing as a "carwin" shaft.  Ping has a vibration canceling insert they denote "Cushin" though.  It's not a shaft, rather it fits inside the stock shaft, of which Ping has offered various.

Question:  What is the difference between some of the iron shafts PING does offer and has offered? (CS-Lite, Z-Z65, JZ, ZZ-Lite, DGS, DGX, KT, KTM, Microtaper)

Answer:  Here is some information on some of the most recent PING iron shafts.

CS-LITE (Regular & Stiff): Weight: 93.9 ®, 107.3 (S) Torque: 1.8 ®, 1.7 (S) Description: Lightweight steel shaft that has a mid flex point and a mid to soft tip section. A very common shaft found in the G2 and G5 series. Ball Flight: This shaft is designed to hit the ball the highest of all of the shafts offered at this flex.

Z-Z65 (Stiff): Weight: 108.8g Torque: 1.6 Description: An updated version of the ZZ-Lite. Lightweight steel shaft that has a high flex point and stiff tip section. This shaft is only offered in stiff. The Z-Z65 is similar in flex to a Dynamic Gold S300, but is much lighter in weight. A very common shaft in ISI irons through current iron offerings. Ball Flight: This shaft is designed for a mid-ball flight due to the weight. It should fly lower then the CS-Lite and higher then the DGS and DGX.

ZZ-LITE (Stiff): Weight: 115.0g Torque: 1.9 Description: Very similar to the Z-Z65 but heavier in weight. The ZZ-Lite has a high flex point and stiff tip section. A very common shaft in Eye 2 irons. Ball Flight: Same as the Z-Z65. (NOT available for new orders)

JZ (Regular & Stiff): Weight: 109.8g ®, 115.1g (S) Torque: 1.9 ® 1.7 (S) Description: A mid weight steel shaft that plays a little softer than the Z-Z65 and ZZ-Lite. A very common shaft in Zing, Zing 2, and ISI irons. Ball Flight: Due to the mid flex point of this shaft it is designed to hit the ball between the CS-Lite and the Z-Z65. (NOT available for new orders)

DGS (Stiff): Weight: 124.5g Torque: 1.5 Description: Dynamic Gold S-400. A heavy shaft with a high flex point and a stiff tip section. Ball Flight: Weight of this shaft should hit the ball lower then all of the shafts except the DGX.
