Don't hesitate to deal w/ Jeff guys!!! He is one of my HOs. :whistle: :wink: Good Luck Jeff!!! Joe :cool:

I've just noticed that YS series is made in Mexico now. This is a surprise for me :confused: Which one in their production are actually made in Mexico? Anybody knows? Joe :cool:

THat is a very personal question on the head IMO. Shaft is the engine of the club, I can fit you better after you pick the head and talk to you personally.Depending on the head and loft you'll pick, i'll recommend a shafts after that. Let me know if you need to talk to me in a deeper discussion. THX! Joe [email protected]

call me anytime and we'll talk. :wink: Joe :cool:

I would suggest you to tip around 1/4" to 1/2" only for 43" or 42 3/4" set up. You can tip it more or less as you wish to match your swing speed and swing style. Joe :cool:

If that is the case, than the only suggestion is to try my #2 suggestion. Good luck! Joe :cool:

1. Check your swing on the video, see if you are casting or not. 2. Go w/ a higher kick point shaft, stiffer tip shaft and change the loft of your driver. 3. Try low spin and low launch balls. Ideally, You should be around 14*- 16* on launch angle and in the low 3000 rpm on the spin rate, It's all depending on your handicap and how good of a striker you are and not to forget also on the course condition you are playing ( windy, hard fairway, soft fairway, flat or hilly course, etc ). At your swing speed , a smash factor over 1.45 is pretty good already. Don't forget, Do not to compare it to much w/ a tour players and tour course condition, It's just not a fair comparison at all. I've tried a US Open course condition, I can hit the ball 20 - 30 yards longer than normal. Good Luck! Joe :cool:

- PRESS RELEASE - (April 5, 2005) BellSouth Classic Winner Uses Graphite Design International Shafts in Driver, Fairway Woods GDI Sweeps Manufacturer, Brand, and Model Counts (SAN DIEGO, California) - The winner of the BellSouth Classic in Duluth, Ga. used Graphite Design International ("GDI") shafts in his driver, 3- and 4-woods, and GDI swept the manufacturer, brand, and model counts for graphite shafts, according to the Darrell Survey. Playing GDI's cutting edge PM 902 and 702 models, Monday's winner collected a paycheck for $900,000 and became the sixth player this season to use GDI shafts en route to a TOUR victory. The win was the third this season for this particular player using a triumvirate of GDI shafts. In the manufacturer and brand counts for fairway woods and drivers, GDI won by a wide margin over its nearest competitor, finishing first in the manufacturer category by 13 percentage points, and first in the brand category by 12. GDI's YS-6 model - the most widely played driver shaft on TOUR over the past two seasons - finished first in the graphite shaft model count, with 23 shafts in play. "We are ecstatic that the winner of a well-respected PGA TOUR event used GDI shafts in all three of his woods," says Akio Karashima, CEO of GDI. "And sweeping the manufacturer, brand and model counts is additional validation that the best players in the world, with their reputations and livelihoods on the line, opt for GDI shafts in their fariway woods and drivers." GDI is off to a fast start in 2005, capturing nine-of-13 brand and/or manufacturer counts for graphite shafts in fairway woods and drivers and helping the world's best players amass roughly $18.5 million in earnings. The hot beginning to the new season builds upon GDI's 2004 success -- a banner year in which PGA TOUR players earned over $60 million using GDI shafts including the winners of the 2004 Masters and PGA Championship. Other highlights from the 2004 regular season included GDI shafts being played by: - The No. 1 player in the World Golf Rankings - Two of the top three money leaders on the PGA TOUR - Two of the three winningest, active players on the PGA TOUR - The leader in Driving Accuracy Percentage GDI shafts were in the clubs of 39 winners in 2004, including the PGA TOUR, LPGA, Champions and Nationwide Tours. On the Japan PGA TOUR, GDI has won the manufacturer and brand counts for a staggering 79 consecutive events dating back to 2002. On the Champions Tour, GDI was instrumental in leading a paradigm shift of players using graphite composite shafts in irons - as opposed to traditional steel shafts. Two of the top four money winners on the Champions Tour used GDI's GAT shafts in their irons, including the Charles Schwab Cup winner.

Definitely!!! how much tipping is depending on the type of bore.Joe :cool:

Mid Kick, 2.0* Torque, 72 grams.One of my best pick and success. Joe :cool: ps: I will have this shaft on my next shipment. How much Joe ??? Any pictures of it ??? Email me and we'll talk on the phone to get you the right quotation to install it on your club. THX! Joe [email protected]

:wink: :whistle:

Either a 580XD TP or R7 TP. The R7 has a very shallow insertion depth, so I may try the 580XD TP first which has a deeper insertion depth. Around 203g heads or so. Playing length around 44.75" to 45". Swingweight around D4 with a Golf Pride Tour Velvet grip and would add weight to the head if needed to get more than a couple of SW points. Lead tape on the sole if I only need a point or two. May just stick with the Hip Ti with NV though. Hit it again against an R5 NV & R7TP NV and still hit the ball much better with the Hip Ti than either of these, so might just stick with what works rather than throwing money at something that is not currently broken. The Hip Ti is consistently longer and produces a better ball flight than the other two. The R5 may be a touch more forgiving, but the Hip Ti is 420cc so it's forgiving enough. Thought the Comp with NV would be nice, but did not care for it at all. One range session and I got that out of my system. The Launcher Comp fairway (15º) was a whole different story. Flat out awesome head even with range balls. Can't wait to try one out on the course. Bill Base on what you did to the NV55, I would probably tipped the TW64 1 - 1 1/4 inch due to tighter tip torsion and heavier shaft.Good luck! Joe

I can only say "HOLY s**t" :laugh: Tough for me to vote. I kept on looking at the pictures a few times, finally i got to say fredmcfl's wedge is the worst. Looking at his flacky rust make me want to throw up. LOL! :yuk: :spit: :laugh: Joe :cool:

Thanks Ken! Bill, What head are you putting this shaft on? Hip ti? I understand completely for a smooth swinger they mostly like to have their shaft 1/2 flex softer to be able to feel the shaft kick. Don't worry to much about the spec #, You'll confuse yourself w/ those stuff. Joe :cool:

Mid Kick, 2.0* Torque, 72 grams.One of my best pick and success. Joe :cool: ps: I will have this shaft on my next shipment.

Bostonhack got pretty much a head of me here! :smile1: Thanks Bostonhack!!! You make my life a lot easier. Joe :cool:

It's not fair!!! :spit: You are a pro being to live in the sin city. :whistle: Congrat!!! Joe :cool:

Mid kick point 86 grams 2.1* torque. TW 74 is a mid kick 2.9* torque and 75 grams.I'm not familiar w/ saber tour vector shaft. Let me know! Joe

Sorry Guys ! I just catch this thread. :smile1: It looks like you've got a very good answer from a good guys. :wink: I will add a little more here. 661 is just basically a little brother of 660 tr and older brother of 652. Specs are just in between these two brothers. Cheers! Joe :cool:

Per 1 inch you need to add 12 grams to maintain the swing weight properly, so 1.5" is = 18 grams and If you do want to maintain the flex too, you need to tip it from the tip to maintain the right CPM. Good luck! Joe :cool:

This shaft is a midhi kick point shaft which keep the ball somewhat lower.If you don't like red, you need to get the JAPAN tour spec issue. Joe

Rombax is 69 grams w/ 3.6 midhi to hi kick point BW65 is 68 grams w/ 3.3 midhi kick point And rombax construction has a triax material sandwich in the shaft. Those are base on the spec only, I haven't had a change to test it out yet. The raw weight above is according to my scale here and On S flex. I'm sure the X flex is a bit heavier. Send me email and discuss the shaft you need for your swing and I'll give you the quotation then. THX! Joe [email protected]

Hey Joe, I saw in another thread about 300 forged you mentioned the Asian satin finshes. I agree with you 100%. The TM rac tour stuff has a very unique subtle satin finish. Did the "T" etched sets you worked on have the same finish as seen on the rac coin forged milled face sets? The finish looked different to me in the pics when I first saw them on bsg but I have never seen a set in person. As far as my experiences goes , the finish are not as subtle like the RAC CB Japanese finish but similar to the Chinese one...which in my opinion is pretty close but definitely not like the one finish by US plater.However, I do remember that i told the customer who own the iron that the plating has pitted and not quite perfect as a production one. I'm sure if we built them correctly, Nothing is wrong w/ perfomance...off course as long the weight issue is not wack up that bad. But the point here is, I' m not gonna buy anything overly charge/price if i know it has a possibility of a rejected items. I've done it before buying putters head that has been in the oil drum for years for $25 each and refinish it nicely. Off course i told the customers what it is. I bought around 50 -60 heads and sold per head for $40. I can't lie that the putter has an original finish but yet they can't tell. I could've put all kind of fancy stamping to them and claim as a tour issue or what ever to make more $$$, but what i'm gonna say if i got cought red handed lying. Honestly speaking , I'm not good in covering my lie after lie, cuz sooner or later the smell will come out and it's a bad one. :-D :surprize: Cheers! Joe :cool:

NO! King Kong is. LOL!Joe
