As a former owner of a GC Quad, and novice golfer with a goal of getting my handicap to single digits (which I accomplished), I speak from experience when I say your best bet is to find an instructor who uses a TrackMan or GC Quad. If you are willing to spend $10k+ on a piece of equipment as such, spend a few hundred more to expedite the learning process. In combination with AI, you can leverage those tools to help you better understand what you need to focus on, and what you shouldn’t worry about. It’s easy to get lost in the data.

I appreciate the replies, and education, as I don’t know much about this topic. I tested 2 Ventus Velocore shafts, one Tensei CK Pro, along with 2 Graphite Design shafts, and 4 out of 5 were consistent with expectations (stated stiffness/flex)…yes, they varied, but they were still within “range.” And the 5-wood shaft was the only “outlier.” The other 4 shafts mentioned were driver shafts (fwiw). So, could it have something to do with how it was trimmed? I have one more shaft to test, hopefully tomorrow, and it’s a Ventus Velocore+, for a 3-wood. I’m more curious than anything. The cost/time isn’t significant, as the fitter has been kind enough to share his time and equipment with me. Again, thanks to both of you for your time, and insight.

Install & remove, or just remove? Does this work with Golf Pride grips, like the CP2?

I purchased a Ventus Blue, 7s shaft with the following specs: Tipped 0.5” / Lamkin Sonar Wrap Standard + Grip / No Adapter; Tip Prepped 1.375” / 41.5” Grip to Tip; Plays @ 42.75” in Ping G430 5 Wood. I had it frequency tested today in a Ping G425 Max 5-wood. It came in at 253 (CPM), which you can see in the chart provided it’s at higher end of regular flex. I was kind of surprised to see this, especially with a premium shaft as such. Does anyone have any insight or color as to why the shaft is closer to being a regular flex as opposed to stiff? There is no serial number on the shaft, but the graphics do match up well with other Ventus images/shafts.

Just curious, what makes those shoes different from these?

Always a good idea to show the faces on wedges.

DM’d you.
