| - I am shocked by the ignorance shown from broken shafts and blaming that on Ping. True Temper and other shaft manufacturers make shafts, Ping does not. Ping and Callaway, Titleist, Mizuno, et al, buy shafts from other manufacturers and cannot control their quality. Ping makes the head of drivers, fairway metals, hybrids, irons, wedges, and putters but they don't make shafts. Most people have great experience with Ping's service, myself included, even though we all wish they'd open up a bit more and send parts to those of us who can build clubs - just replacement pieces, not a set of heads. The elastomer insert is one thing that they could loosen up little - putting one in only requires epoxy. I've changed my own shafts numerous times and at least we can get ferrules for the irons that use them and adapters for the adjustable drivers and fairway metals. Whining about a broken shaft - jeez - a steel shaft is pretty cheap and any repair shop can quickly replace it, and graphite shafts are also reasonably priced - one can also buy OEM pulled shafts and gen-u-whine shafts on eBay, for crying out loud.
