The PING AWT (Ascending Weight Technology) steel iron shaft
in a "soft regular" flex is a lightweight steel shaft designed
for a mid-high launch and increased spin. It's specifically engineered to
help golfers achieve a higher ball flight and optimal spin rates. The
regular flex version typically weighs around 98 grams. AWT shafts are
designed with a lighter weight in the longer irons to promote a higher launch
and a heavier weight in the shorter irons for better control.
Here's a breakdown of the specifications:
- Shaft
Material: Steel.
- Flex: Soft
Regular.
- Weight: Typically
around 98 grams for the regular flex.
- Launch: Mid-High.
- AWT
(Ascending Weight Technology): Longer irons are lighter, shorter
irons are heavier. This helps with launch and spin in the longer
clubs, and control in the shorter ones.
- Tip
Diameter: .370.
- Suitable
for: Golfers who want to launch the ball higher, generate more
spin, and achieve a higher trajectory.
The PING AWT 2.0 steel iron shaft in X-stiff flex
weighs 119 grams and is designed for a low-mid launch angle. This
shaft is part of the AWT (Ascending Weight Technology) family, where the weight
of the shaft increases with the shorter irons in the set, offering a lighter
feel in the longer irons to promote higher launch and a heavier feel in the
shorter irons to promote a lower, more controlled trajectory.
