PING S59 Ferrules

Help Does anyone Know how to get PING S59 Ferrules?

Help Anyone?

I am trying to install my new shafts into my irons, and I am trying to make them look the same as they do right now before I tear them apart. In order to do so I need new ferrules for the job. They are the only parts of the job that I do not have yet, or on the way.

Does anyone have any suggestions for how to get my hands on 10 new ferrules for the PING S59s?

Or does anyone know where I can find all black ferrules for a .355 tip that are all black and not too long?

I love these clubs but seeing how it seems PING has this scam that they are the only ones who can work on PING clubs I would think again about purchasing PINGs.

The reason for my reshafting is that I want all my shafts SST Pured.

Edit:
Long term update stayed with the X100 shafts not concerned about SST puring in my irons anymore. Very happy with my irons and PingWRX.

as ping clubs use .355 taper shafts, golfworks or golfsmith should carry ferrule that fit. they may not be the exact ones on the s59s.

It's not just Ping who does this, all OEM's do not warantee their clubs once you reshaft them.

One of the reasons clubs like Ping and Titleist are so protective about their ferrules is because the ferrules are one way they make sure the warantee clubs that come in haven't been reshafted.

Thank you for the info.

I was just not happy with the way I was handled by PING. I have a work around. All is good

Whooa! (was an enlisted in the mech infantry a while back, did not go to the Point and not an officer)

Thank you again.

Nothing special about Ping's ferrules. As a matter of fact they are among the worst finishers of ferrules in business today. Some look like the turner fell asleep and others look like they "poured" acetone on them. If you don't have a fabric belt turning set up you can do a good job with a thin strip of sandpaper and tape the hosel and shaft with tape to protect them. When you finally have the ferrule matching the hosel diameter you can finish them with a small amount of acetone to get rid of the sand marks. Then you can polish them with a towel once the acetone is dried. Slow way to do it but every ferrule you purchase today will be oversized and requires turning down to match the hosel diameter. Golfworks used to have some that were almost the right size for most hosels but they don't carry them anymore.

I know of no manufacturer that will honor their warranty after a person or professional club maker reshafts their clubs. Just too much liability involved. They have many ways to tell on the irons or woods.

I have had the most friendly and professional service with Ping. To me they are a model of controlled growth and perfect customer service. I have stopped by there and had my lie angles adjusted for free, been fitted there for free with intelligent and super nice people. Very good vibe at Ping......
