My philosophy: it's worth it if you want them.

 

Do you want the dampening of graphite? If so, it may be worth it to get them. Otherwise, it sounds like you like the feel of CFS.

P4B, amigo the 2 shafts he's talking about are BOTH graphite. the "CFS" labeled shaft is now graphite in the Ping G line-up, it's not steel. they bring back "AWT" and call it AWT 2.0 (made by Nippon) as the stock shaft in steel. it's goofy confusing but believe it or not that's how Ping switched shaft names around for G irons.

 

OP, ya know fwiw I always give the Ping engineers full credit for knowing better, and more, than any of us. they R & D the new CFS graphites to work best with that new G head design. just pick a shaft flex and you'll be gtg!

I didn't realize that. Been playing CFS shafts in my last several sets of Pings and thought they were still steel. Just when I thought I understood Ping... :)

Those CFS 70 graphite's are really light. Unless you have played shafts of that weight before I'd be very cautious. And I don't think there is any reason to think CFS 70 would work better than the older graphite shafts. Shafts are not head specific.
