Anyone!? ?

Still looking, seems they are tough to get. If you have or see one, let me know. Thanks!

Found, thanks TSG!

Looking for a set of Epon P2s (open to having them shafted or just heads). Let me know and thank you!

Found, thanks TSG!

Let me know if anyone has one. Thanks TSG!

Sorry to hear Chris. This affects almost every family (my wife, my in-laws, my grandparents, etc). I will keep you and your family in my thoughts.

Thanks! Work and life just got really busy :)

I have a Speeder Platinum 5S. Great shaft, little long and dispersion is a little wider than my 7D, but a solid shaft nevertheless.

I have been silent for a while and I am not going to jump in the more dramatic pieces of this thread (or those on other sites) - just don't have the mental time or energy for it (heck, the Warriors are going to a Game 7 and that is taking all my mental energy right now ;) Since it has been asked, I am the member where 7D sent me an L01 with specs I was somewhat shocked by. To their (and Chris's) credit, they always offer to remake for free within that early time period. Since I hit the shaft and learned more about what I wanted (and not wanted), I made another L01 that is more 60SX and is working spectacular (I mean, really really well). I have not thought hard on how the 55SR came about and not going to (these things happen, maybe it was a design mistake, maybe when I said I want a baby draw, they used the flex and weight to do that in the design phase, etc). This is hard over a questionnaire and email, but no different than blindly buying any other shaft instead of going and getting fit in front of trackman (but 7D, at least with their design process, is probably better than blindly buying). I have owned a Standard, Distance, Control, re-made a Standard, 3W, re-made a 3W, hybrid, L01, L01 that I didn't like and a putter 7D shafts. They are firmly in my driver, woods, hybrid (and putter) now. With 7D, yes, maybe they will mess up here or there, or maybe the design won't be what works, but they have fixed that multiple times for me. My advice, pay attention during the design phase. Stay true to the questionnaire (i.e. do you really carry it 260 or is it 240 + roll), do you really have a baby fade or is it more of a 15-yard fade ;), etc. Pay attention to the design that comes back, look at the stiffness, weight, profile, ask questions, etc. ---- Now onto the second-hand 7Ds. needmoregolf hits my Control shaft longer than I ever did and longer than what I currently game. Maybe its the shaft, maybe the swing, maybe the *improved* swing, or all the above (I say all the above - he killed me last time we went out ;) If you know your specs, you somewhat know the bend profile that works for you (and that head) and how that connects to the flight you see and want, I don't think getting a 7D second-hand at all is that bad, but like everything, its hit or miss. I know my other Standard which I sold has been passed around a bunch, so maybe that hasn't connected to someone yet, but to each their own. That exploration, tinkering is what makes all this fun!

Fantastic article!

As RLL eluded to, just watching the entertainment and waiting for the putter to ship ;)

Virgin beat hugh, interesting name ;)

Entertaining thread and I think everyone seems to be saying the same thing. Do we know which company makes the Gold's blanks (especially the GF00A head?)

Awesome!!!

Fantastic looking head C, GLWS!

Looking to get a GC2 and it seems some older ones don't have bluetooth capabilities with an iPad, looking for one that does. Let me know what you have!

Great driver. Longer than typical Epon drivers but not the longest per say on the market. Feels great with that softer/spongy feel and forgiveness is there. It launched slightly higher than stated for me, so I would take that into account, but overall, very accurate and forgiving driver.

wow

Anyone!? Will even try x flex ;)

Beautiful Chris!

Opening up the search again!!!

The 125s are stiff. You need to really like a butt stiff profile. The 130s, given the tip, play easier but that mid-section takes some getting used to. IMHO: 130s compare to PX 120s are a different beast altogether but could be a play for players traditionally using DG 125s compare to C-Taper SPB compare to 125s SPO compare to a butt stiff KBS Tour but better due to the stiffer butt and probably stiffer mid for control but similar launch Just my .02. Get to know the profile you like, how you load, your tempo and if you like the feel of stiffer butt sections, if you need a stiffer tip for a later release, if you need a heavier shaft due to your transition and tempo (not swingspeed, that is flex), etc.

What type of profile do you like and how is your release? I think 130s or 125s would work very well in them (or SPB) if you have a mid to late release as well...

:) Robbie, we should have some ongoing pool of clubs we share among all of us (well, we somewhat do that already, heh ;)
