Hi Folks,

Can I replace a 57 gram shaft in my G15 driver with an NV 67 Gram shaft and then cut the butt end by approximately 3/4 to adjust for swing weight.

Thanks,

Tom

Going with the heavier shaft will give the club quite a different feel. What are your concerns in trying to trim it to a certain swing weight?

Try trimming it to a 45.25 length this should get you close. Ping seems to typically have a 45.75 driver, with a light weight shaft that’s counter balanced to a SW of D3 or D4. If you order a alternate shaft such as their tour version shafts they come .5 short to reduce the swing weight since they are slightly heavier and not counter balanced. If you don’t like the feel you can trim an additional.25 and drop another swing weight or so. Have fun and good luck!
