 Right, so OK, thank you for joining the average golfer and back down here at Fourgolf Chester and I'm going to do a little bit of an encompy video, not one I expected to do, not one that was planned to do, but my eye was drawn to what I thought was a new driver from Ping on the shelf. It's a new driver from Ping, but it's for ladies. It's a ladies golfer, it's a GLE2, I think is the name of it, they've got driver, they've got hybrid, they've got six hybrid, they've got three woods, they've got seven iron, all to test, I might even go and take them out on a course because I'm intrigued. What happens when a man tries out a ladies set of golf clubs? Right, OK, so first and foremost, the serious element to this video is this, Ping, I've manifested an absolutely superb set of ladies golf clubs, as you ladies will know, but from a male perspective, I've never picked one up and tried to hit it until 15 minutes ago and it's got me questioning, their ultra light shaft and light shaft, they are incredibly light. I've done videos similar questioning whether us men should be using lighter graphite shafts, potentially increasing clubbed speed and maybe increasing therefore ball speeds but more importantly getting some more consistent numbers, swinging easy and finding fairways. Will that be the case? Only one way to find out, get that camera out there, I'm going to hit golf balls with every one of these and we'll record some data and like I said, I might even take these out on the golf course, depending on what the results of this test is. Right, so first and foremost, as you might expect from Ping, it's a decent looking set of clubs, it's got a colour that would appear, I would think any more to the ladies out there and the woodbooster males, but you can tell it's got, we've got circulators, we've got very much the same things that we would see in the men's set in the G410, the iron isn't too dissimilar in looks and neither is the hybrid, they've got an iron 3 with norther driver and they're all the clubs that we're going to test today. The big difference for me is the lightness in the shaft and we've got two shafts, we've got an ultra light and we've got a light shaft and I'll throw you the weights on these for all from iron through, they're all graphite, graphite shat in the iron up the driver, I'll throw you the weights on each of those as we test them out and there's a huge difference in ways, massive and what it tends to do and like I said, I've done videos doing this in the past, is it tends to make you just swing that little bit easier so you don't feel as though you're having to generate any power and it becomes all to concentration on rhythm, concentration on timing and with a club head speed that a lot of us generate average swing speeds, I just wonder whether or not we should be considering, not ladies' club maybe, but certainly these lighter shafts and it's an extreme case with these pink irons and we'll start off by getting some seven irons with all this, I'm going to gather some data, we'll do it like we do every other test but the intrigue for me like I said on a practice shot that I case is that when you swing the club to me it just encourages to just swing nice and easy and like I said that can be done with any sort of very very light graphite shaft that's out there on the marketplace, it seems slightly shorter in length again so that I've been checked that to be the case but if I step up to the ball, I've got a little bit heavy but it's still going out there and it's straight and a lot of balls I hit off camera need enough thinking well I might have to do this test is that I didn't pull, I didn't put a great deal on any of these and again the ball just seems to fire out there and more importantly it stays very straight so how many of you play a light shaft, how many of you play a shaft that is suited, I can't believe how these feel, I can't believe the kind of what they encourage me to do, believe me I have it all these like I said off camera and I can't believe how they change my mentality in terms of the ball flies incredibly high it pops the ball up again this is a 6 iron 30 degrees worth of lock it gets the ball so high the carry distances that I was achieving was quite phenomenal I get like to say a full set of numbers how many of you are using the correct shaft, I just wonder how many of you would think that you might be more suited to a much lighter shaft how many of you tried something as light as this, could this be the way forward for a lot of players, well you've got some numbers collected on both the iron and the hybrids and like I said they're pretty impressive in fact the likes of the six hybrids, well obviously the numbers are a bit, likes of the six hybrids the thing that interests me is just the ball flies on it it fires the ball so high I don't play and again a lot of you may I don't know but I'm traditionally I'm an iron player I don't play really through choice any hybrids but again you just question how much easier it is to get around the golf ball and score lower with that kind of setup in your bag a six hybrid this is a 19 degree three wood once again the sound again is it's if I was reviewing the clubs I'd review them in the same way as I did the Dean Court head mage they've got a similar sort of loud crack to them it's not something that I would call soft it's quite a hard thing but we're not really with you I'm not here to review GLE to ladies clubs I'm here to look at the concept of putting on and honestly I swear the clubs that I have hit all for the last half an hour since I've been testing these off camera are very rarely done there's a slight change I'll get to that one eat driver in a minute because there is a slight difference as we move along but I've missed again it's absolutely both straight great ball flight 19 degrees three wood so very weak in terms of love so again we're seeing something that how many people got 19 degree through down there how many of us would benefit from 19 degree three wood it just literally pops the ball up gets it airborne like I said I don't want you to see from the swing that I'm putting on these it's a very easy swing I notice with some on the hybrids and the seven out I'm still generating a clubbed speed based on the fact that maybe just this lightest shaft and ball speed aren't dropping off that great either so at the minute that three wood you question yourself I'd be interested if I went out on a golf course how well would I play how well would I score with a set of ladies golf course it's a big it's a big deal we get so shut off by what we should or shouldn't do what we're told to do players irons game improvement irons ladies cut everything is categorized and we sort of put ourselves into a pigeonhole and you just wonder if you just open yourselves up a little bit of time and I think like I said not suggesting men play ladies clubs what I'm suggesting is from this video is that we maybe should be considering these ultra light shafts which I'm sure is plenty available in the men's clubs as well onto driver very much again like decent ball flies again that this particular driver had about 11 and a half I'll turn it down to 10 it's got the light shaft in a game it's shorter shaft I'll throw those again control element the one thing I would say for me personally and I swing it so my driver clubhead speed and normally it's around sort of 97 mile an hour I wouldn't put that into this sort of white shaft as such because I tend to be getting a little bit turn over there's no wrong with that if I could maintain that kind of nice easy rhythm that ball is literally just fired out there that's just that's perfect it's just it's just encouraging tempo and rhythm and because like I don't feel as though I'm doing anything to go after it so all I'm concentrating on is a nice stable swing and just pull that one just down the left bit and but that's all my focus has been on it's just about nice and easy rhythmical swing and clubhead do the work I'm generating more clubhead speed that lightest shaft seems to be doing and then are we getting ball speeds off and are we getting distance but more importantly are we finding fair ways so I'll carry on I'm gonna see golf balls and get some proper data I get collected for all loans and then I'll see just how my numbers have fared up to what I might have normally hit with a men's set of items my set of items right so like we do any review let's end it by looking at some numbers and I've got more than happy enough with the data collected at the ball recently well I'll start off with seven iron and with most golf products there's always something that throws a spanner in the works in terms of an anomaly and I think that this has really been a strange one in terms of an eye-opening what performance you can get out of the ladies club using light shaft or possibly even ultra light shaft the seven iron is the one that will absolutely blow your mind well it blown mine anyway 85.4 mile an hour in terms of average clubbed speed with a ball speed of 125.3 spinning at 58 on average and a 177 yard carry I don't even know what to say to that because to be honest with you in terms of where that ball has gone I find absolutely incredible I'm stuck for words because listen I'll say I'm on track man track man it's been literally I'm questioning it myself it's like it's an incredible number absolutely incredible number it's probably the number that sticks out in terms of average at launch angle 19.1 pk was 116 feet this thing went into absolute orbit and believe me the way that's coming down with that kind of spin number that's incredible anyway we move on six hybrid this was six hybrid 89.6 in terms of clubbed speed ball speed 131 which again it was very consistent off the face there in terms of the ball speed 6689 spin so this thing is stopping 181 on average carry with a six hybrid again incredible at this stage three wood was the next one there's a five-wood as well I didn't bother hitting the five but there's a three wood thrown in here 97.9 clubbed speed so let's just talk about clubbed speed on these as well I'm generating a faster clubbed speed and my assumption would be due to the lightness of shaft that I'm generating more club head speed which therefore is having an impact on ball speed and 137.2 in terms of ball speed which those things are all go as long as their head is being controlled obviously it's no use like swinging like a lunatic in terms of being able to increase club head speed and then losing every bit of control out of it but I'm actually you know you can feel where the club head is with this shaft as well so three would five one spin so again that's spinning very very high indeed and certainly popping the ball up there 202 on average carry 116 peak height and this was one where there was a noticeable difference in terms of the spin number was be getting getting too high with this three wood so that was an issue there and the same really I'll throw up the driving numbers at the end 98.4 which is probably a couple on mile an hour faster than what I would normally generate with my own driver 144 ball speed 3000 spin not too bad of a spin number I wouldn't suggest with that driver 236 carry longest ball being 245 very consistent over launch angle as well if you have a look there peak height 108 it went high again look the idea of the video was I suppose ultimately a bit of fun it was a question mark a question of how can how does a bloke play with a set of ladies golf clubs it started off as simple as that when I started it in the clubs it was a bit of an eye opener and the question it raised throughout it like I said well when I was having a hitting some shots off camera was just hang on a minute is this highlighting an issue not should men play ladies clubs but should men be considering lighter shafts and what positive impact that might have on their game in terms of like I said being able to generate ball speeds and clubhead speeds rather in in and therefore ball speeds so getting the distances still but being able to keep a nice rhythmical swing concentrating on that tempo more than anything else and improving dispersion in terms of where the ball finished because I'll throw them up now as well I forgot that bit the dispersion on all of these was pretty damn decent for me anyway as ever thank you for watching I hit the like button comments down below and get out there try some either ladies clubs or some lightweight shafts
