New Ping i210s or re shaft s55s

[Foreleft]

I am hoping that the next version of Ping's players CB is a cross between s55 & iBlade

I ordered it with the 130. Kinda goofy that my testing of the 130 will be with a gap wedge and a 3 iron but whatever, better than a blind purchase.

If the 120 feels whip like get a stiffer version. And that is all feel — it still plays to flex. But the X is easy to handle. The 120 is actually described by nippon as the shaft that will “stay stable” for a wider variety of swing styles, for early or mid-release, and that is most golfers. It is great for trapping the ball as you describe.

> Interesting timing on this, as I've been thinking about the 120x now too. With my 120 stiff any swing over 75% goes left but ballooning hasn't happened much. In fact I love the forward flight of the 120 and feel at impact. Don't love the feel of it in the down swing, no control. The whippyness throws off my timing. My shop didn't have the 130 to demo, but I'm guessing they will have the 120x.

I know many say that the 120 aren't actually soft to flex but just feel it because they're butt soft, but honestly the X felt like an S in most shafts to me and the results in ball flight were that as well. I had some 7 irons rip backwards on me. I feel like I couldn't played the TX and I'm not that fast. I think you'd like the X. I had a nice baby fade with it compared to sometimes overcooked draws with the S. I play iBlades which are extremely similar to the S55 and I think they're amazing. As forgiving as an iron would ever need to be, great feel, and oh so accurate.

Just an update, clubs are off to Ping, went with the modus 120x. Had a chance to demo the 120x vs 130x (fitter didn't have the 130 stiff) though it was with a Callaway club with range rocks and no launch monitor. Preferred the lower flight of the 120. The 130 appeared to go much higher even in the X. Im also not loving the 130 in my gap wedge. Its almost like its too smooth through the ball. Also hit the 120x in a mizuno jpx tour (again didn't have that shaft option in their Pings) with a launch monitor. 7 iron SS was 89-93 mph. Spin was a little high but Im attributing that to the more bladey mizuno club head. Hoping the turn around time at Ping is quick!

Usually pretty quick, my clubs arrived on a Friday and were already shipped back out on Tuesday.
