Ping ZZ Lite replacement

Had someone looking for a reshaft and they asked me about their old Pings and I wanted to "check my math". My guess as a modern available replacement would be the DG Mid 115 X100 or S300 hard stepped....

Steel shafted woods - length

I believe the newer standard length chart from Golfworks has removed the steel specs for woods. I can't find my old ones. Can you confirm if it's basically: 1/driver- 43.5" 3W- 42.5" 5W- 41.5" 7W-40.5"...

X100U in Pings

I feel like I've seen this discussed before but couldn't find where. But I have come across a few Pings with X100U shafts. I doubt Ping is reaming their hands at the factory. Are they crimping those .370...

Water Activated Grip Tape

Moving some shafts around. Was going to put some UST Recoil 95 .355 in my old Ping i15 set but the raw tip extends beyond the hosel. The i15s seem to be the last iron they did that did not use ferrules....

KE4 Tour+ Weight Changes on Flight

If I add a heavier weight to the KE4 Tour+ irons, what effect would it have? I normally play at D3 in TS3's but I'm moving from DG 120 S300 down to some graphite shafts for low back and fatigue issues....

TC Max driver dent

May have been an iron head whacking it while in the bag/on the cart. I get super paranoid about irons moving into the covers over my woods. I like the covers with "socks" for that reason.
