    Thanks, Chris. You rock! If the NUD Ghibli feels similar to the VT511, it could be really good. Looking forward to your reviews on the Docus. Just searching for a 7D worthy head that performs and also sounds and feels great.

    Thanks Chris. Have you had the chance to try it? As far as NUD goes, I asked about the Ghibli about a month ago and you mentioned some paint quality concerns? is that resolved? All the DAT faced drivers in the past I just could not get along with mostly due to sound at impact. I would love a DAT faced driver with Epon 103 sound and feel. Another driver I really like from sound and feel is the Yamaha V203 Are there any heads out here that might fit that profile?

    http://www.docus-golf.com/ Anyone have any info or feedback on their Driver, Fairway and Ute? The Driver, DCD701 is currently ranked #1 on Rating Gate for swing speeds above 96mph. The face uses 15-3-3-3 Ti which is known to produce very soft feel at impact. I know this first hand from using Geek Golf's Failsafe 3 driver for a long time and uses the same material. Their entire wood line really looks good too. Not sure if I like their Irons or wedges. I am seriously considering going with this driver for my planned 7D pairing.
  7. Yeah, it's almost like the driver head is attached to a string. Except this "string" has tremendous kick back effect at impact with the right timing. And as you mention, the stiffer flexes do come in two weights.
  8. I have the Athlete 550 model which is around 70g @ 46" raw. http://www.lapaco.co.jp/link_page/1.html I might actually pay them a visit while in Japan.
  9. This is my experience with the Skitter shaft. I had this 365cc Tourstage P02-6 limited edition head that was sitting around and this Skitter shaft that I bought on eBay several month ago. Tourstage X Drive P02-6 is a driver that was limited edition back a few years ago as part of the 705 series. Only 1000 units made 365cc pair shaped Endo greatness!! This Skitter shaft is a XX stiff shaft ... but honestly it feels like a ladies flex on the bottom half of the shaft. Not exaggerating. It truely feels like a shaft from the Orange Whip swing trainer. So pairing this up, I was going to make it my training driver so to practice good tempo and good smooth swing. When you try to yank this club in anyway, you will get a rather severe hook. So I took this driver today along with my Yupitel swing speed meter. Took a couple of shots with the Epon / Stinger good hard swing around 106 to 108 mph SS not bad .... Next P02-6 / Skitter XX first swing very easy around 50% ... 108 mph "What?!!" Nice straight shot too! Next swing give it a bit more ... maybe 75% .. 114 mph!! Baby draw high launch!! I want more!! OK 100% !! Big F***ing hook shot!! but SS was "118 mph " ... Holy Smokes! I did not expect this. I have never seen swing speed this high from myself. A bit gimmicky? I thought so too. But seeing is believing! Apparently there are 60 Pros on the Japan Senior tour using this shaft. Not surprised now. I am gonna have to find a few more of these shafts and try them on different heads.

    just guessing but probably 270 to 275 ?
  12. nobmontana replied to nobmontana's post in a topic in Buy, Sell, & Trade
    ok let me know Pete.
  13. nobmontana replied to nobmontana's post in a topic in Buy, Sell, & Trade
    AF153 / Stinger combo for me seems to provide the most consistency on the course. Also making room for whatever driver I get thru 7D. :) Thanks M! I would love to try the 50S or 60S as well. That would have been a wiser choice! :)

    Thanks for the offer HB. Not looking for trades at this time.
  15. nobmontana replied to nobmontana's post in a topic in Buy, Sell, & Trade

    zy11 is pending payment.

    Yes. This head is too low spin together with AAA for me. Someone with naturally high spin should use it. Yup I think I need a higher loft too. Perhaps.

  19. Sorry my friend. Unfortunately, have not tried the 535. Have not had luck in the past with any JBeam heads. not sure why. Not a hi spin hitter to start with so perhaps just not a good match. As for Crazy and TRPX .... could not find peace with them either. I feel much at home when using Endo heads with higher kick point shafts. Going back to familiar territory for now.
  20. well unfortunately this combo will not work for me. spin is too low. I am getting drop balls. Gonna try the AAA in th Epon 153. Only thing I can say about this head is that it goes straight with minimal side spin. I would probably do better with a higher loft.
  21. It was too windy today to tell how the ball was actually flying. Will provide an update hopefully after the weekend.
  22. After reading this post, I shuffled my shafts again. My AAA went into the ZY-11... Hopefully I can get it to launch higher than with the Waccine.
  23. I hit the range with my ZY-11 9* / Waccine GR-77 today. Trajectory is low and spin was almost too low. Getting these drop ball like trajectory unless I teed up really high. The ball went straight no matter what I did . With a great shaft like AAA '15 or 7D you can be sure you can build an automatic driver to hit pretty much every fairway!!

    "pinhead size dent in a dimple?" You sure it's not a manufacturing imperfection? :)

    Thanks for the clarification. I needed to think more globally I guess. didn't mean to come off offensive. Sorry if it sounded that way. GLWS.
