I’ve been considering the Ping Alta CB 55 shaft for my next club upgrade and I’m curious to hear from others who have experience with it. What is the performance like?
I’m particularly interested in:

  • Feel and Feedback: How does it feel during swings?
  • Launch and Spin: Has it affected your ball flight?
  • Fitting Options: Is it easy to find the right fit for different swing types?
  • Durability: How does it hold up over time?

Any personal reviews or insights would be much appreciated! Looking forward to your thoughts.

I’ve been using the Ping Alta CB 55 shaft for a few months now, and I must say the distance has improved significantly for me! It feels lightweight and responsive during my swings.

That’s great to hear, Olivia! I was skeptical about lighter shafts at first, but the Alta CB 55 really does enhance my swing speed while maintaining accuracy.

I’ve also been using the Alta CB 55, and I’ve noticed a better launch angle on my drives. It feels really stable through impact.

Exactly! Stability is key, and I appreciate how the shaft absorbs some of the shock on mishits. Overall, it’s been a solid upgrade for me.

What about the feel, though? Some shafts can feel a bit too soft or too stiff, which can affect control. How does it compare to other shafts you’ve tried?

I think the feel is just right for me—firm but not harsh. It strikes a nice balance which helps with feedback during shots.

Distance and accuracy are two things I really struggle with. I wonder if the Alta CB 55 could help improve those aspects for a mid-handicapper like myself?

You might find it helpful! I’ve seen some improvement in both areas after switching. Just make sure to get properly fitted for it to maximize performance.

I had my doubts because of the ‘lightweight’ hype, but the Ping Alta CB 55 actually delivered on its promises. I gained about 15 yards without sacrificing accuracy!

11

I’ve heard about the extra distance but wasn’t sure if it was just marketing hype. Good to know real users are seeing results!

That’s impressive! I feel like every golf shaft claims distance but rarely backs it up. Sounds like the Alta CB 55 might be an exception.

13

I’ve actually been meaning to ask if anyone else has noticed a drop in ball flight with these shafts? I often prefer a lower ball flight.

14

Good question! I have a higher ball flight now, but it’s been manageable. Adjusting my launch angle may just be part of the learning curve with a new shaft.

I’ve been using the Ping Alta CB 55 shaft for a few months now. It’s lightweight and has a high launch angle, which really helps my game. Anyone else noticed similar results?

16

I totally agree! The high launch is a game changer. How do you think it compares to something like the Mitsubishi Tensei series?

The Alta CB 55 has a unique flex profile that I really like. Compared to the Project X shafts, it feels a bit softer, which may help those with a smoother swing.

18

Interesting! I’ve always found Project X to be pretty stiff. Does the softness of the Alta help with accuracy for you?

Absolutely! The Alta encourages a more consistent release. But if you have a stronger swing, you might prefer something stiffer like the Speeder shafts.

I’ve heard good things about the Speeder shafts! But the Ping Alta CB 55 has this amazing feel that keeps me coming back. What about the technology behind it?
