yes............ so there i was a few short weeks abo, stuck with this driver head and NO shaft to put in it. how can this possibly be i hear u all ask.... surely living in JDM land that MUST be impossible. well it wasnt...... i picked up a driver that i have done a cpl of small pieces on previously from solid contacts. its got a made for solid , fujikura shaft in it that weights 45 gram. get this the whole club, weighs just on 250 gram! i bought it out of novelty really thought it might make a nice play thing, i like this comapanys driver heads ,esp the shape of the face, super looking things., took it to the range and played around with it last weekend i didnt hit it that badly ,really ,infact i kinda really liked it. the head that i was really into. its a 360 cc head in 10.5* all face , the body is tiny with a big rounded pear shape to it. its a good looking head. so i take it to my builder ,and just say, work some magic, make it sing. what do i need to put in this ? crazy,,quadra,,,,diamana.... p9003x uwant em, i got em, whats its poison? he hands it back saying i cant help u, the head is only 165 grams! , nothing will suit it, nothing.. im stood flabergasted as u might expect. but i just hit this with a stick of spagetti and i like it, surely there is somehting?? no Gd 9003x not crazy sigma.. what??? nope , he hands it back i walk off depsondand but not defeated, of COURSE theres a shaft for this i say. first i have to explain what i want this driver head to do no its not toplay 300 yards shots , i just want an insurance driver, a quasy 3 wood. similar to the kasco FD , similar to the RC dr spoon,, but a bit more robust, more driver looking ,somehting that wont go so high. something in affect i can take to windy longy and bang a few off the 16th with confidence that ill hit the short stuff to the left and not blow right into the parramatta grass, which i wil say is like hitting form heather,, but much,much worse. next time im back in he shop we stand there and i say , hey what about steel????????? he fingers his chin , goes gets a catalogue and comes back woth a NS 950 steel s driver shaft hmmmmmmmmm this might actually work. ":charrenger" he says and build it. i took it out last week and was clobberign the daylights out of it. not left . not right, not overly short either for yr guide!. high ish but no balloons , and easy to hit the 10.5* got de lofted a wee bit with the steel , and it was hititng nice mid high shots that stopped dropped. could hit stingers, snap hooks , punch fades, all pretty well. distance was more than adequate. perfect pro cord gripped it looks great.. will take it out the game tomorrow as my course is very tricky and requires much more accuracy than distance on a lot of holes cant promise anything yet but steel shafted divers for accuray might be something in this ??????????????????????????????
