ya shafts going to another set of undecided on heads.

i remember that shaft , sanki planaria ? had a round with one in a testclub once upn a time ,that was a heck of a driver. ha lov to make a puttter with a stinger.

well. theres no need for me to get one in that case. ill stick to the tried and true . wish i ahd a few more XXIP purples.......................

i went bezerk over the last 2 yrs with mine, swapped so many over , too long, too short too light, only way to know is to try what doenst work nad when on does , well, thats it. i keep it what i think ive found is: NS purple logo xxip stepelss 130 i think iti is ?? is the best shaft in steel for me in all heads ive tried them in , i lik shimada as well but the NS has it covered. muziik dogatti PT makes the ball explode off the face unlik any other, when i play this shaft for a spell , and i go back to others im short all day. its a very differetn feel and has the most immdiate response of all, its the best " going away from the field " FOR DEEP MILLED faces. the diamana pt 135 141g i think has the most sublime repsonse sent back to the hands and super nice tingy feel , thats in my GOLDS gss 360 which i dont take out that much........... and shud do.... nad wont ever come out it seems to really like all head milling bec the GSS is DEEP milled and its great, persoanlly i think tis wud be better in a micp milled ut , hey if it aint broken. the frequency filtered attas is a real mack daddy of light shafts but is better in lightly milled faces,its gets lost in deep milled cant feel the ball. ive tried the quadra but not enough to give it any dialogue, id imagine its superb, i remeber it felt great but i never got one. also have a cpl ot copper TT monacco irons shafts that godzilla struggeld to hit , tip pakced for more stability , that actually work well but lok AWSOME, each time i take those out i get hteo ld , hey what ... whats that one!. suffice to say its best in deep milled.

i can tell between endo steel forgings differnt OEMS , yamaha and tourstage are a bit taughter, i dont know why, i PRESUME........... they use some kind of different steel , tourtstage esp feel more rigid than others. they all feel nothng like say ONOFF , espsecially, those things are like marsmallow , or EPON whcih have thier own special feel which doenst get replicated by anyone else. if im honest about it, as much as i absolutely LOVE EPON its on the too soft side for me unless i use a rigid shaft like NS SUPER PEENING , TT MONACCO ( awsome in epon!!!!) or SHIMADA , i like a bit of feedback on bad shots as much as pured ones. these mizuno offer that in spades BUT u dont get that cold elbow chill on miss hits. pured shots for these are soooooooooooooooooooooo nice. they loose ZERO i mean ZERo to anything new, in fact they dominate over pretty much everythng non uber top end.

i had to revist this.. i hit these agan on the weekend after a long hiatus, ive been playing BIG ol cavities of late, epon af tours, yamaha forged, prgr idlbs , that kind of head, so decided on a " my smallest set day " these irons, crazy 16 fw, RC 250cc driver, matsumoto HM blade, prgr nabla wedge, thin, small,compact. funny thing is i LOVED it . at first coming back to small is a bit disconserting, esp when one gets on the tee hits a cut to the first cut-o-ruff, on the first and the grass is LUSH. and the ball is .........sorta submerged....................... gulp. out cometh the 6 iron, thwack, deep into the back of it and out it flies with half an acre of subashiris finest cow food attached to the back of it. hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm... this might be a tough day if i do this all day long. luckily that happened not and i drove it well and got to try these all over again. now, i have a bunch fo really nice irons that are made to spec for optimising feel and performance, this set has NS 1050 x in them SST pured ,which i can assure you all iwas NOT made as a micky mouse touchy- feely set , tis a set up that was made for me a while ago when i once was quite fruity and cud get amonst it . this shaft is taught which i rediscovered. so , on the the par 3 17th , 158y always tends to play into the wind , which is a FULL 7 iron for me now that wil never go long. i hit 4 of these to the centre of the green like a swing matron robot , CARUsssseHD them, suffice to say i u cud not put the 7 down.... my buds had to usher me on... the feel is out of this world..... absolutley, TRUELY magnificent , the flight is a thing of beauty, high soaring arc, the combo of the taught shaft and the copper unlderlay on satin plating is just intoxicating. they are workable as good as any, the flight does NOT balloon, impacting that tiny thin sole is akin to a vulture pikcing the bones clean on a week old dead zebra left to bake in the sun . for a set of MBs 30 yrs old...... to feel like these do WITH non feeley shafts, says to me, theres not a lot of improvement to irons over the last 30 years... in fact.... i dont think i cud put thes any lower than at the very TOP OF THE RONGE. had a very good ballstriking round which totally rekindled my love for all things small again. tell you what, i say it time and again ,just bec its old ( and really 30 yrs now is getting on a bit ) , that dont mean its worse, these, are awosme.!

blue white cadero grip sold.

peole call u a wuz for having iron covers to protect $3k irons , does that work for drivers and putters as well ? thats absurd, i NEVER not take covers for every club. i dont get tgat 1 iota.

taylor made tp -09 jpn ed. 9.5* (endo) / diamana kaili 70s Right, if ever i want to make sure , like really really make sure i hit a fairway with even a crappy swing goin on , then this thing is one of the top contenders id reach for in my posse of long sticks. ive now got 2 of these , one OS with a 100g bimatrix blue at 44 inch for links play in awful wind and this new one i pilfered from a buddy. yes , that does say 2009......... a thousdand years ago driver head which not only holds it own in feel and looks against the best ever latest releases, its SMASHES THE FK outta them. Its so clean it looks like my bud never even used it, i traded it for an astro tour 11* with diamana aliislei 63s which he absolutely loved and got him a bit more easy flight to work up to some speed again , both are satisfied traders. the 09 head has an electric ting at impact which is enahnced nicely by the KAILIS mid kick, mid launch denser characteristics, its a very different feel to the ILIMA ive been hitting of late, there is NO similarity in feel / flight what so ever here, the ILIMA has a much more instant luanch to it, its flies high but flat, the KAILI is flatter, lower and MUCH punchier impact, a better chioce for higher lofted heads and faster swing speeds, this shaft has been put in a TON of my recent fairway woods builds last 18 months, for damn good reason~~~!!! Its not an overly long ball lama, not by any stretch , esp these days but its NOT 30 + yards behind my big guys either. its about 15 id guess,, which is enought to take notice of for sure but when out and out distance done matter that much and confidence / accuracy do , then this is when this guy gets the call up ive been co gaming it with a jbeam 435 and my astro tour and it looks very much easier to hit a fairway with at address if u have many and varied to choose from. i never think im gonna crush it but i never think im gonna miss my aim point either. its not a big dogs club anymore, but for anyone looking for a realatively compact triangle back shaped head that inspires a TON of confidence to get the ball to a spot , then im hard pressed to choose a better one. others in this realm are the onoff type s ryoma d1 royal coll prgr egg 7 these came straight into my thinking for my best fairway finders ive hit. that kaili shaft mid summer is a DEF winner.

reshafted one of mine again recently. 17* this time. its just a fantastic fairway wood. gets high, loads of carry but it runs , esp the15* . ill onlt play this or tue ryoma when its really long. god ilove this head . dont sell it!

stll the mack daddy...

ah.. yes, this rings a bell with me. ive reshafted about 10 -15 of my putters this seaon. its such a simple thing to do. i bought a bunch of shimada stepless( a while back , love those shafts , there nothing super " special " about them except they look awsome with the one peice tubing and give the impact a taught feel. i esp like them in deep milled faces. with a red iomic absolute X on it. my fave NS purples had sold out or what was left had jumped so high in price i didnt bother anymore so, for super light im not being funny but the old mamiya frequency filter shafts are STILL as good as anything for magnifing the head impact thru the swing. from memory they come in about 110g , maybe less bunch of yrs back i had most of my putter with these shafts , a whole swag of golds and ive kept them in a fair few , alwas think about changing them untill i play them check these deets on a 360g golds YAMADA CUSTOM mod of mine. Total Weight: 517g Head Weight: 360g Swing Weight: E5.0 Lie Angle: 69° Loft Angle(Sole): 4° Real Loft Angle: 4° Face Angle: 0°open / Shaft Angle: 0°open ( try getting this done any where ) Frequency: 338cpm Shaft: UST Mamiya FF Shaft 34" Grip: Gold's Factory Original(Black) custom yamada for my 12011th bday a laqod of years back. i keep trying to reshaft his with a " modern shaft . but each time i play it i go, why???? in my mind this shud have a muziik dogatti or diamana in it but after asid round on the prac green irealise ite perfect as is. which kind of annoys me bec i do want the best avaialbe in it proves to me that shaft is n0 slouch. my builder tolfd me when they came out these were the most advaned light weight tech on the mkt for a redciulously good pice and did exactly what they do, make the head feel very alive. have to concur , that they do. give one of thoese oldies a try as well , doubt ur going to hate it.

the oldies but for me, the besties... now ive hit a fw or 2 over the season , but i gotta say there isnt a thng of more simplicity, beauty and feel than these . prob not ieal for your higher capper but if ur comfy giving the pill a toink AND like pieces not just for play but for esoteric then .. ALL IN on RC.

wow , thats some reco for the shaft. hmmmm.. i did like the look of this but now i think its very busy.... i cant pass over the oldies from RC and that thump at impact. ive become such a traditionalist when it comes to looks . simplicity takes my eye all day, this is a very different stlye to the ones i have , love t hit this but i dont think i cud game it. RC have made the cream of the crop fwd for so long. theres no possibility of htis NOT being good.

this is great. EXACTLY WHAT ID EXPECT from tsg'ers THANks FELLAS. the one i was "recod was the XT but i hated the diamana white, yuk. prob the only diamana shaft ive not like. hmmmmmmmmmm ok i might give that XM a peep, its for a cpl of fwds as ive run out of stingers and the sky is falling!!!! been using kailis of late and i have fallen in love allover again which is no surprise as its kind of the retial verison of the stinger specs wise , looks are killer as well, makes it go longer! had a flutter with quadra and they are very top end ,but i guess when u know a sahft so wel its hard to change . also , a cpl of crazy 8os have been on the go as well, man those things are TAUGHT!, not sure if hteres a better feelign shaft on the planet than the old crazy series. utterly addicitve. not the hghest launch by a long way but ifu never want to be under powred then these are the go.

.

never hit one ,looking for some real world play thoughts by NON pros pls. got a cpl of juicy fw heads that are looking for a shaft...................,

dont guarantee its gonna be better........ for eg. i rehit the ryoma yesterday d1 3w. thats got a feel of its own. tight lie fairway. that and the modarts,oh and the ORIGINAL egg spoon which i re did and sent back to oz for links are still the most enjyable fws to hit. deeper grass, the RC f series, and cv take my cake. hotter temps here have seen an increase in ball distance for us by a signifacnt degree, back in are the stingers and dia X shafts. the NS protos and mons are also in lay on irons. there really is a difference in summer winter golf. th RC are back i nthe bag form now as well, out go the sleek FWs above.

i wont say much except just bec its new....
