I left my used ping redwood with a retailer, ( irrelevant as to who), to get reshafted and loft and lie alteration.
I was told at the time to expect 3-4 weeks, as it needs to go to US to get the ball bearing in the shaft laser blasted. Cost $90 all up which covers postage and new shaft....all good.

Yesterday marked the NINTH week anniversary and despite attempts from the retailer from week 6 onwards, including phone calls to them while I was in the shop, to establish an ETA no response has been given from the PING guys.


When the time comes and the thing does arrive, paying the $90 is going to be a bit of a slap in the face.


My question is, what would you guys do??

I pulled my shaft fine, out of the redwood not all of them have the ball bearing in it. Did they at least attempt it first? We just used a plain ol shaft puller and a lil heat came off no worries

Now I gotta work out whether to keep the anser 2 I had to buy in the interim,(had to stop borrowing my mates), or sell it.
I'm not out of pocket for the job now, so it might be a keeper.
