I also have a set of blue dot Ping G2's w/ stiff steel shaft, standard length. I recently got fitted for Ping and the fitter said that I should play the blue dot and .25" longer in regular flex.
I have about $250 in store credits and considering reshafting Ping G2's with TX-90 or Rifle Airlite in regular flex (I would appreciate any feedback on light steel shafts) and using the pulled shafts to replace Ping Eye 2's.
My questions are:
Is this even worth while doing? |
If you're currently playing stiffs, why are you considering going to regular, especially if you're going to a lighter shaft? I always think it's worth having equipment that fits you.

As a rule, steel pulls can be used again and again. Graphite pulls must be pulled properly (ie no twisting) otherwise the tip gets compromised (meaning it should break shortly).

For every 0.5" you adjust a club, the effective lie is changed 1º. So, if you make the
clubs 1" longer, you make the effective lie 2º more upright. So, by going 1" longer, and 1º up, it's like having standard length
clubs bent 3º up. Please note, this whole length/lie interaction is
still more art than science.
But it makes the difference of a relaxed, athletic setup, and contorting yourself around the club.
