timbleking

Ok. Not a long time ago, I tried the 2004 Big Bertha 3 wood, with the factory installed steel shaft which seems to be a True Temper something. Weight of the shaft is 112grams and I saw on the Callaway site that swing weight for this combo is D4! I tried the stuff: I had no shot. I had a friend of mine trying the tool: he had no shot. He put the club in the hands of another guy: the guy had no shot. I seems to me that D4 with a steel shaft like this is not a good choice. Absolutely no balance. Did you try this club? Whatcha think?

Ok, sorry, I realize how clear my post is..... :D Well, let's summurize a little bit. 1- -I don't like graphite shafts because of torque feeling on miscentered hits. 2 - But I realize that playing steel shafts on my woods perhaps reduces my possibilities in terms of distance and that I feelmore tired at the end of a round than I could with graphite shafts. 3 - I tried NV65 and I don't like torque, but I had it tried on a Callaway Fusion and it was great except ball trajectory, so this one is too light for me. 4 - I tried NV 75 and it seems to be better. Now, I know I need this one with special tipping to have same feeling than steel shaft, and the question is, for my 983E driver and my 980F Strong 3 wood, what tipping? Looks better now?

Hi guys. Sorry to disturb you here. I'm a newbie and very interested into this stuff as I am wondering a lot about my future in driving!!! First of all, brief introduction: Chris, from France, Paris, mid-handicap player with around 8, and clearly fond of club making and golf clubs. I play Mizuno MP37 which I have to modify, 'cause I initially had a combo factory made MP30 (3 to 6)/MP37 (7 to PW), swingweight D3, D5 for PW. I replaced MP30 heads by MP37 as I finally prefer having the full set, but sw is D5 on those clubs and it is not ok. Shafts are Rifle Flighted 6.0. Now: I play 983E driver and 980F Strong fw. Shaft on the fw is Rifle 5.5 and seems to be ok, but a little bit heavy perhaps, so I am looking for alternative. Shaft on the driver is True Temper TX90 stiff and is great!!!! But a little bit short (43") as it seems those hawaïan guys are not very tall... Well, I have extraordinary feeling with the bulldog but I would like it to increase by 1", with the same balance. Don't care? Ok, let's go to the real point: I tried many drivers with the NV 65 and 75 shaft, nothing went ok. My problem with graphite shaft? Torque feeling on miscentered hits...but there is one exception: a pal of mine has a fantastic combo with a 980 5 fw with NV 75 S initially put on his driver but that broke because of araldite implosion...so, he made the shaft cut by 1.75" more than original cut for the driver and put it full inserted on the 5 wood head. I have only one thing to say: I would sale my mother to have this club in my bag. I know that it would be better for me to replace my steel shafts on my woods by this kinda graphite, but it is difficult to find somebody in France who would be able to operate in order to fit driver + 3 wood with NV 75 shaft exactly as it has been done for my pal's 5 wood. What do you think about all this except that you don't care? :wah: To finish this long first post, I ordered a 983E with NV 75X just to see how it works... PS: sorry for my english...I try to do my best everytime but it seems i am not very skillfull at it... :whistle:
