In Tom Wishon's book "The new search for the perfect golf club" he said this: "Stiffening up the tip half of the shaft would reduce its amount of forward bending before impact and from that, keep the ball flight a little lower."

Was wondering how different each set of blade perform relative to each other. Is af tour really that much easier to play relative to other? I thought all blade are pretty much the same, u got to be a hell of a ball striker : )

Shaft guide for dummies, great info. Thanks!

Also really like to hear how they compare to the cbi evo.

Gee, thanks for keeping it real C

Base on looks alone and my past experience hitting the ray driver, kamui win hands down. Still waiting to see the price : )

I think my blood pressure is increasing while reading this! 100mph!

45 mps ? Does this equal 100mph? T told me that the limit was 105mph lol

Ryoma van!!!

Those ryu-zen putter are really nice though : )

Thanks for sharing ur experience : ) actually I get the exact same feeling but it's with my ryoma vspec/ wyvern. I felt that if I try to rush my transition at the top or try to swing too hard, some very bad shot occurred.

Really? Got to email T now thanks : )

The gd is actually my first attempt at graphite iron shaft. Prior to this change, I was using ns pro 750. I'm glad I made the switch, especially with feel/timing. My club builder made the short iron at d5, long and mid iron settle at d3. I use r flex and also soft step, maybe like a senior flex : ) at first i thought this set up might balloon a little but turns out wonderful esp with my super forgiving af 702. Pls note that my driver ss is 100-103 mph. My club fitter says it has to do with transition at the top and swing type. What ever the technical side is, graphite shaft just work for me. However, prior to the change, most people I talk to highly disagree. Their main reasons mostly relate to feel and accuracy. As for the evos,I heard its much lower than steel. If its more penetrating than steel but more forgiving, I would eventually have to get some : ) Maybe cbi-01, 02 is too heavy for me.

Haa ha : ) nothing is cheap here.

Yeah, may as well go with gf

I think it's a matter of marketing. Quality of mass produced goods surely differ from custom made products. I'm sure that if the Chinese manufacturers were to go with the other route, they could produce equally amazing equipments. Unfortunately, this is not the strategy chosen by major US brand. Beside, u have to be quite obsessive to detail to create this driver with monocoque body that boast 0.33mm thin wall don't u think? : )

Yep, tried it. Looks good, like a piece of art. Feel good also, real quiet type, no Funny sound at impact. Unfortunately, I find it a little difficult with the alignment.

Well actually 30,000 baht so a little less, about 942USD

They sell for one grand in Bangkok epon

Have always wanted a set of blade...actually player cavity will do, just can't hit them : ) migrate away from these things many years ago. Got a chance to try the yammy tour couple of weeks ago. Miss many, got a couple of good shots also. Wondering if premium graphite shaft could make this set easier to handle? But judging from ur setup and ur comment on the evos, these shaft must be real stiff. Xxx lol

Just wondering when we refer to smooth vs aggressive, are we talking about transition at the top of backswing?

Hi Supo I think u should just do it. Going extra light, extra thin, but extra stiff. Why not?

Lately been having quite a success migrating from steel to graphite. Currently gaming gd tour ad iron shaft. Some obvious changes for me include 1. Distance: by a margin of one club 2. Forgiveness: really suit my slow transition and smooth tempo 3. Accuracy: not that much different from steel, imho. Any one else find success with graphite, especially the cbi evo? Please share ur experiences, many thanks.

What if all of them have been taking my beer and chips for so loong with their non conform driver? : )

"A brick at the end of a shaft" doesn't sound very pleasing. I order the same spec but my is 10.5 loft and sx. How do u like the shaft Craig?
