PING club fitting/club recommendation question

[TheGolfingRealtor]

I'm not into golf as much as I used to be, this might be my last set for a while. Just set it and forget it!

 

I haven't done any core, strength or speed training since last October so swing speed is down. When I am training I am up around 102-106 mph with the driver.

 

I want a shaft that fits me better on my bad days than my good days and not overpower it on my good days.

 

PING's web tool recommends the Tour 65 stiff in my driver, Tour 65 in my fairway woods, Tour 85 in the hybrid, DG 105 S300 in irons and wedges. 

 

Here is what I tested the other day:

G430 MAX 10K with Alta 55 stiff - spin and launch were almost perfect - sound and feel were perfect!

G430 22* with Alta 70 regular - maybe a little too soft but numbers were still good.

i230 with AWT 2.0 stiff - oddly enough spin went up where it should be and launch went down to where it should be. Feel was perfect!

Distance was a half club short compared to DG 105. 

S159 with Z-Z115 = perfect!

 

What do you all think?

You should hit/demo everything into the wind, if possible. 

Just my opinion - if you don't play wind regularly- then everything just might be perfect.

The shaft fit is dependent on a lot of factors outside of swing speed. Swing tempo, launch and spin numbers, miss tendency, etc play an important role. Seems like a full bag fitting would make sense here.

DG105 is about 97g , very light for the athleticism to swing 100 plus on the driver. AWT is a great shaft, and Ping offers it for launch. AWT is 104 grams, did you try the Nippon and KBS (both would say R) at 104?
