Ping 425 hybrid issue

[thegimble]

When i remove the main screw from the bottom of the head that connect the shat and clubhead i can not get them to separate.  All other hybrids i have used it comes off no effort.  Am i missing something or is the club faulty and i need it exchanged only reveived it yesterday.

Not sure I understand. Are you saying you can't remove the shaft from the head? On my 410 driver and hybrids  the shafts are easily removed.

Yes that's the problem. All other clubs i have are easy to remove this one feels its welded on.  Have a feeling its going for an exchange.  I need to lift the clubhead to the max loft of 35.5 but its set on 34.

Pings adapters definitely are more snug then others.  I always found tapping the grip end of the shaft help wiggle things free

Yes I recently got the Ping 425 Max driver and the head definitely takes more work to get off than any other driver I've had.

Needs a bolt cutter the way it feels.  Had a few swings on normal setting lovely club to hit 7 hybrid.  Problem is i have another hybrid Big Bertha 30 degree loft which atm i have on 32 both clubs are too close for me distance wise.  If i can get BB to 31 and Ping to 35.5 it gets me closer to the green distance wise as irons are not my thing struggled with them for decades.  Alos being left handed options are minimal in highest lofted hybrids.

I've had several fairways and hybrids like this. Remove the screw. Take club to ghe yard. Hit the bottom of the club on the ground a few times. Take head in dominant hand and pull/twist at the same time.

If its still tight, smack it a few more times.

Yes, this is true. You wont hurt the club or shaft, full swings are much more violent.

Thank you very much.  Attempted this morning nothing not a millimetre movement.  This evening twisted a bit harder almost knocked myself with the head.  Now its set and head comes off easily.  

 

Thanks for your advice it worked
