Spuzz that's because most people will believe anything you tell them even if it doesn't make sense.

    Par4QC "Bad" is subjective. Bottom line is, we all miss all but 18 times each round.

        puttnfool No way! How could you possibly do that without aligning the shafts?

        I made a bunch of putts that nobody should have made. 😀

            Have you ever considered what it is that makes those Eye2 irons play so nice? Not just for you, but for everyone that makes the statement of such? You ever try the ZZ lite shafts in other(non PING) heads?

                They perform well because of the synergy resulting from the shaft characteristics coupled with the head design. You still can hit lousy shots with them. Are you saying that ZZ Lite shafts are Flo'd/aligned? Is that even possible with a steel shaft?

                    puttnfool Never hit a tee shot OB, eh?
                    Hit every Par 3?

                    There's always the remote chance of zero good shots per round!

                        sdandrea1 Flo'd/aligned? Is that even possible with a steel shaft?

                        Absolutely.

                        My point about the ZZ lites....they are stiff tipped, high bend shafts. Ever play other shafts with that profile and do well with them? 😉

                            Rickochet I know what theories you believe in. Just as I do with "flat earthers" I dismiss your theories because of the level of hogwash.

                              Rickochet Spine alignment in drivers is much more critical than alignment in irons.

                              Rick - is this because the driver shaft has the most "flex-movement" in the swing? Do stiffer shafts have less risk for this topic? Do steel shafts have spines? I am curious.

                                  Par4QC Negative, ghost rider. If you're playing by the rules and holing out, then you hit 18 shots per round. No more, no less.

                                      puttnfool I'll admit my lack of knowledge here in the adjustable driver realm. When you adjust the loft/face angle, does the logo on the shaft change orientation?

                                      I don't participate much anymore, but I can't help myself. You don't know the answer to that question but you feel you know enough to declare spine aligning as snake oil?

                                          Ahhh, I see. No - never. That bend profile would not work for me another head. Do you think PING aligned those in mass production?

                                              Now Steve, that statement just makes no sense. I'm giving you a reason to HO. You need a set of heads with similar lofts as the Eye 2 heads, and another set of ZZ lite shafts, no?😜

                                                  Par4QC You need a set of heads with similar lofts as the Eye 2 heads, and another set of ZZ lite shafts, no

                                                  That sounds like another set of Eye 2 irons. 😙

                                                      You cannot even comprehend your own statements!! You can damn well miss every shot, every round. As well as I can go for every damn 551 yd. hole, every time, every round!

                                                      You now know nothing about clubmaking, as well as nothing about the game of chess.(btw, you cannot move into checkmate, so you will need to delete your answer in that other thread, or retire the king)

                                                            kchacker well, when the guy that wrote a 5 (was it 5?) page article about it says he doesn't align his, I think I'm close to the truth. If you read that article, it's obvious that no one really knows what's going on. All they do is theorize and hope they're right.

                                                            The take a club they can't hit, spin it around until it vibrates like they like, then put it together. They go back out with it and hit it better because they think it's better and they believe they're on to something.

                                                            Simple fact is, I bet any of the top 10 golfers in the world could take my clubs and shoot even par with them. They're probably a solid 2 flexes too soft for them, none are "aligned", and the grip size is probably bigger than they like. Quite simply, the most important part of where the ball goes when you hit it is NOT whether the shaft is "aligned". The most important variable is the swing. As has been said before, practice more and you will score much lower than if you spend that time spinning your shafts around to some arbitrarily determined point.

                                                                Where the hell is John Fisher to straighten this guy out properly???
