Nothing is free. A pro shop will charge about $15.00, depending on what grip you have put on.

Thanks...I actually have a few questions...I am just going through trying to get my set to the specifications I want.

1) Where can I get bounce grinded off my LW and how much would that cost?...I have the 12* CG10, but instead of buying a new one I just want to get it grinded down. I already have the 12* SW, I just want something different in the LW.

2) How are the purple ice shafts in fairway woods? it's hard to find places or people with these shafts for me to demo. I don't have real issues getting the ball up in the air with Fairway woods, but I would like to be able to hit them real high so that I can land the ball soft on par 5's and long par 3's.

3) Any other reccomendations for Fairway woods shafts? My ball flight is medium and relatively straight, sometimes a slight fade.

4) Are firm grips or soft grips better for feel around greens for wedges? I guess you could argue both ways, but I would just like some opinions.


5) I went to the Ping website because I want that Blue putter grip, but all they had were the regular black grips. Anyone know where I can get one of those grips that come on the G2i putters?

I am not sure of the cost of grind the bounce down but I would guess not more than 20 bucks. The Purple Ice shaft will work fine for a fairway wood but I beleive it is a high kick point shaft so the ball will stay low. If you want the ball to go high any low bend point shaft will do the trick. I like firm grips on my wedges. It is all about feel. Grips like Winn are too soft and dull the feel of my wedges IMO.

just for future reference Purple Ice shafts have extremely low kick points.
