im getting one build next cpl of weekswith get this.................. NIKE vr pro 10.5 head. gulp!

the p9003x is a heavy beast. i love this shaft cut down to play at around 44-44.5 or its too much for me. the p9 is a littel more between the dj and the bb. ntohing like the dii think. its a more clobbering shaft u have to swing hard to play it in the first place. i think im prob not fast enough to play th is to be honest. the next wrung up this will suit a lot better u positively can not swing hard enough to make this go that ive found . it starts going really really well , about where i max out. this is MJR d territory really. i have this in a j beam 435 back at home ,and ill only play it when i feel really healthy back-shoulder wise . other wise im short and right all day.

i took my 3 , 70x shafts out for a russle in the jungle last night di7x--adams 9015d a4 proto or what ever retatred name these guys called this thing. dumb assss name but its a howler of a head for non JP , prob the only non JDM driver id play. built this to play 43,.5 inch Sw c9 wasnt meant to be an out and out long driver. i wanted a shorter driver to hit to position ,and shape rather than pure distance. the SW is a little concerning to start, esp if u chop and change clubs all the time at the range ,but after hittitng it seval balls in a row, u soon get used to its weight. maruman conductor 9.5 power straight------dj7x 45 in. conventional. yamaha tour 10* ------- bb7x 45 in. potential gamer hit prob 25-30 balls with each driver, for a minimum of about 5 shots per round . that way i could get some consistancy with same driver and get a good thought pattern of the feel of the shafts. digested al the info last nigth and i got a very good idea in my head of how each of these play. now, i dont know what the blurb on GD shafts are , i dont tend to read the info from the companies , i tend to just formulate my own opinions based purely on feel and sight. the di7x--- i though this is the tightest feeling and lowest launch and most glassy feel of the 3 shafts, good shots were a mix of low to mid low drives that had quite a penetrating flight. feel of the shaft was a very quick , rigid snap , gave a real "ping" feel to the shot. dispersion tho was the widest on miss**ts bad shots with this were punished the most. slices went way right. draws were a tiny turn over. actually very hard to turn this over. the hardest of the 3 i liked this shaft a lot, although the overall feel wasnt that great, it did produce a flight i liked the most. that was prob also a reuslt of the head it was in. this set up is a good driver,m if u have a spare old adams lying obout u can do MUCH worse than stick this shaft in it, works very very well. the dj7x--- in a maruman conductor head, most on here wont have a clue about. this head is a little strange to look at, its almost elongated round ,the face looks off centre but its not, the face looks closed ( ryoma style) but its not. the materials its made of are top notch, the maruman sales guy "buddy" as tthe golffair assured me the quality of the head is top of tree . i found this last yr and i palyed this really really well a few matches last yr. hit some very very long and controlled shots on difficlut holes with it, im a BIG fan. the dj shaft...................... hmmmmmmmmmmmm i thought this had a similar style to the crazy black ls noir.......... but without any feel . its very muted and the feel at impact tends to dissipate thru the shaft very quickly , leaving u with a kind of dissapointed conclusion, even when middled hard and striaght the feel leaves u a bit longing for more. the flight was higher and the dispersion was def tighter. obv the head shaft combo combines to give feel ,but ive played the maruman with a stinger and the feel is almost polar. ths shots i got off were tight and controlled, i didnt think it was long what so ever , infact i thougth it was rather short overall. was def shorter than the adams di set up. i have the exact same head with a stock maruman rombax shaft and the gd was nice to hit definatly ,but i thnk the stock was longer! up to u how u want to go but i hardly missed the target with the dj.. the bb7x--- yamaha tour 10* head. this is a potenital gamer. obv the head needs no more speech they dont make many better than this in all capacities . the shaft head combo works beautifully, its long with control , weight is good loks at address. perfect. the shaft., well, its alot more rubbery feeling than the other two, closer to the dj than the di but alotmore pleasurable to hit. igot the feeling tis prob a bit longer , ithink the overall shot will be better than the dj its certianly a more "oh thats nice" feeling in yr hands. trajectory is on the high side, but i think all GD shafts hit the ball high. it was a lot easier ot turn left than the other two. but i think that was the head more than the shaft, the yammy tour u dont have to miss by much and ugly things happen. but it still wasnt dead man walking. the ball seesm to not spin when if pops off the face. like a cannon ball rahter than a bullett gets out there but its all about carry overall i think i liked the feeling of the BB the most, it has a good balance of feel and performance without getting wishy washy and certianly not like a raiway sleeper slither. , eminantly playable for all levels , althougth i think the better guys might still enjoy the Di tightness a bit more . The dj, i think my mum could hit the ball striaght with this. it was noticeable to me that it wasnt a clobbering shaft. overall shaft if only one was an option??? id go the BB but only bec its the latest and greatest technology. overall its a damn good pice of nano-tube mumble swerve carbon fibers. all Gd shafts go pretty well. the new BB tho ithink prob takes the trophy tho. thsi is a good balance

chris, thtas exactly what my clubbuilder said to me about sst puring my shafts he asked why i did it , i sad ah bec its better(?) he bahumbugged me said NO one in japan does it, i dont think theres actiually a machine here that does it , eres no need. i got a set of ns 1050 shafts done a while back and the differnce in the positioning of the logo after doing it was quite marked form where the straight logo positioning was spossed to be. un pured. the ball flight on these shafts is really very very straight. can i notice a diffence ? not sure. i jsut know that these particular shafts are very straight flighted. but i cant say for sure if tis more of less than others. iknow it cost me a fair bit to do and i havnt rushed out and got any more done. and i wont be in the future.

Many have entered few survive!

nope FAR too busy over there the wait was hours long only things i hith thsi yr were the NS modus in all flex all in an epon 302 head the diamana X in all flex and in epon 152 the NS regio new shaft in all flex in an epon 101 the wait for these things was huge this yr, i was too busy snooping at othe things that new regio might sell a few bits. went well

kidding mate , love reading ur posts. u know what ur on about.

ant, seriously ur babling on like a physics professor with all this diatribe. what everyone is missing here, and i cant believe no one has picked up on it yet its so plain and simple..... has NOTHING to do with materials, none what so ever...., bah! nope, the proof is everywhere around us, evey day to get the MOST distance possible u have to get the clubhead speed up and the ONLY way to do that is drivers MUST be painted ferrari red.!

well i saw the vg3 and the were the best lokiing irons i saw. IF i was going to play somehting like thsi shape it would most def be these ones the shape at address was the thing that got me. the dont look like shovels, they look really sleek and playable. personally i liked them a lot.

im getting a wedge NOW TariOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO....................................!

why did i know u were goingto say that.

wow that wedge. does that shape just scream ping zing to anyone else but me or am i mad ???? thsoe fariways look beautiful. along the lines of the fairway arms pro spec form last yr ( the utlilties ?) very very good looking things ill be shocked if the baron doesnt play these fariways this season. which is nice......., bec ill be able to have a crack at them early doors. the onnoff show case was my fav at the show, thsoe guys know how to attract ur eye to thier goodies thats for sure. chris any news on the proto shafts yet?

yea good to go head to head in same comapny shafts rahter than against other competiors

the kaili huh ? back to diamana. love that shaft

can help o nthe af tours and baby blades. aint hit th e NEW 905s yet epon af tours ., mid size head . thick all round. compact over all. very easy looking , easy playing head crazy soft feeling . plays MUCH better with a rigid shaft like NS Sp blue or dare i admit it.. GULP..... dg . miura baby blades { presume thats the US 1957 model (?) } they are VERY small heads. rounded corners very compact , thick for thier size pack lovely punch more so than the af tours tends to lead to a soft feeling form centre shots (unfortunatly miss hits tend to tell u other wise!)

i got my self a dj7x i will be comapring this and the BB7x hopefully tomorrow if the bloody snow stops dumping in tokyo town! in fact., i ve still got the di 7x as well id keen to see how they play next to each other. differnt heads, but ill try discount that and concentrate on the shaft feelings dont htink ive hit he dj before isnt ths dj the one tigers bagging these days, is that right ??

my gawd.... how is this still here.................!!!!!! and what may i ask are u changing to?

yes it was mine and its 9.7 deg it was customed and they just change the. 9' head but didnt stamp itasthat its exactly. 9.7 and. It goes! I git the kui pro 415 cc instead my club builder checks all specs this is exactly. 9.7

hahahahahaha i gotta get a proto driver shaft , i just put a cpl of the proto tour fw shafts in my yamaha 3 and 5 woods last week,they are higher flighted and superb feeling prob the best feeling shafts i have. form 2009 "daiwa have been making fishig rods since jesus played fullback for jeruselem, they prob know a thing or two about carbon pole technology" a response to some reetah on wrx a while back that said roddio were s....t. errrrrr. got my back up

i need to know some info on the roddio as well , the guys at the booth were 10,000 yrs old and when i approached, they ran for cover. got no info from them what so ever. they didnt even know sho shingo was.........! they just pointed at the onoff stand and gesticulated geijin over there.., i had my head in my hands....

have a lok at the lynx la bomba driver head if anyone can hit it its you its 7.5*

highlights of the show.., diamana x shafts titleist vg3 irons roddio pentacross proto shafts ( cant wait to get my mits on one of those!!!!) onoff bags, like every yr the bag designers from onoff are just great, the new green,khaki one is MINE. the girls at the fujikura stand.... delicious! mizuno new wedges, these things will spin like mad im guessing the lynx la bomba "drakon" long driving doooooooooooood hitting the ball 500.8 yards on a simulator. the girls at taylor made in yep u guessed it...............................white.............!

chris glad u posted those vg3 irons they are not for me..., but they were the most impressive of all the irons i saw. there seems to be a new trend in irons that i love the neck seems to be getting slightly more pronounced and rounded, its not offf set its dead sqaure but its more pronounced. like the yonex form last yr ,these are the same these irons will sell billions this yr im predicting they are superb looking. superb
