I played a round last weekend where the wind was gusting maybe 30-40mph, and I dropped the tee height a good half inch and that really helped going into it. At my back I just tried to get her floating in the jetstream. Gotta say though, it is the first driver that works better for me than my R7TP/I65. Really love the GD shafts.

shinichi808 Posted May 31, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 31, 2006 thanks MCsub, yea i guess i tend to hit the ball higher than average...so that would explain it. just heard that tourstage drivers play truer to loft compared to other clubs...at least i lucked out and was able to find an 8.5* x-drive 435 :tsg_smilie_smile:. but i agree with you...this club and shaft combo feels awesome. anyone have experience with the gd tour ad pt-7 or pt-8 shafts?? was thinking of using a heavier weight shafts in my driver and 3-wood.

I too love the PT Series shafts, they do have a diamana like profile which gets the ball into the air without having to put much power behind it. I play PT-7's in my GFT's and its as good as or better than The S-83 and HK-80's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shinichi808 Posted June 2, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 2, 2006 sweet thats good to hear about the pt series. i think my top 2 choices right now are either the gd tour ad pt-8 or the axiv-v 8072. waiting to hear more about the new axiv-v line of shafts.

mrzodia Posted June 2, 2006 Report Share Posted June 2, 2006 i think the pt-6 shaft is terrible. Better off with the old Tour AD's or even better, an axiv. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
