    Using a Shim ...

    I am looking @ a Ping G5 as my next driver. This will be the 1st driver I've used that takes a shaft w/ a .350 tip diameter. I have several .335 shafts at home already, one of which I would like to put into the G5.

    I know the you can use a brass shim to make the .335 fit into the .350, I was just wondering if any of the clubmakers could tell me if there are any downsides to using a shim as opposed to going out and buying a .350 shaft.

    Thanks!

    I have never had any problems using brass shims,but the Pings have a weird hosel design dont they?
    Is it a bore-thru?

    No problem there Nat... Been there and done it. I had a G5 that I used a shim in and never experienced any problems.. go for it.
