Hi Taipanli My driver SS is around 115mph with a fairly fast tempo. I have experienced with Diamana 83 stiff came stock in the R5 TP with good results. I than switched to Diamana 63 in x-stiff, i was driving it as accurate as the Speeder 553 but less distance and too much spin. I am after a smooth shaft with a nice kick but needs to play tight enough. Distance is prefered over accuracy!

Cheers :tsg_smilie_cool: If the Blue didn’t make the cut in either 83 or 63, I’m not sure why you’d try the 73. Weight might be better for you but the shaft is going to perform the same. I don't know enough about the Red or the PT-7 in the driver. If distance is your primary objective, I’d consider the Axiv 7568. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers :tsg_smilie_cool: I haven't played the PTs yet but if you're looking for a bit more kick and distance than the silver Diamana then definitely try the red Diamana M. However, Chris says the PTs have been specifically designed to kick the Diamanas out of the bag so you may want to try that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+TourSpecGolfer Posted February 15, 2006 Report Share Posted February 15, 2006 Right now im in shaft la la land, the 3 shafts that work best for me are the Axiv 6564, Diamana Red M73 and the Graphite Design PT-6 or 7. All three are user friendly, the Axiv has the most floaty carry and the Diamana Red turns over easiest but the PT6 I like because its a mid high launch with a good strong kick and seems to give more roll than the others. Any way you go your already looking at the best shafts on the market, you should be fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sfgolfer Posted February 15, 2006 Report Share Posted February 15, 2006 On the subject of Graphite Design shafts, I also really can't say enough about this Tour AD M-75 in a FW. It's not very "willowy" so it took me a while to get used to but, man, it is smooth. With my swing, it takes the Vista Pro and the 757 high and deep.

+TourSpecGolfer Posted March 7, 2006 Report Share Posted March 7, 2006 Go PT-6/7 in a driver and PT-7 or 8 in FW's. I cant stress enough how solid the PT line is, user friendly and less floaty than the Diamana. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
