xxio Posted December 6, 2005 Report Share Posted December 6, 2005 The Japan only MW64 is a very good shaft. Unfortunately the one I have is a bit too much for me in X Flex. Anyone want to trade me a S? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

plus1 Posted December 6, 2005 Report Share Posted December 6, 2005 Plus 1, you have used the Graphite Design shafts in the past, care to comment on their performance? Funny you ask Phillip, the GD Tour AD range is one that i have limited experience with! i have only tried the W60 and the M75. THe W60 was in my driver for a good while, the feel - kick from this shaft was unbelievable. it kicked like a mule through impact. it was also so easy to work the ball with due to its slightly higher torque, and the laubch was high due to the low kick. So why did i change......bad flex selection. If the hadnt brought out so many new shafts for 06 i prob would have ordered my new driver with a W60! The M75 is in my Mizuno JPX three wood. I can definately feel the higher kick point in this shaft, which gives a really good flight for the 15* loft head! It is lesss of a distance shaft compared to the w60 but is definately more stable...ie more accurate. Although this is more stable i still feeel the shaft has a lot of feel to it! it is totally different IMO to a Fuji, in the respect that it is not boardy or dead!!! All in all i think so far both Tour AD shafts i have tried are of the highest quality, feel is equal to any and the performance is up there to. Also IMO it is worth every penny in comparisson to the likes of the Ozik. And for my game anyway, it is much more suitable!!! :tsg_smiley_yes: :tsg_smilie_cool: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
