Upgrading an R7 425...?

Recommended Posts

Hi,

I've got an R7 425 with the stadard shaft.

What would be a good upgrade shaft to buy? (problem is that is a .350...?)

Swingspeed is 108mph

I've used S flex never tried an X (think it's too stiff...)

Would like low to mid launch

Thanks for any info given !!!

Thanks,

I put a Graphite Design PM702 stiff in mine and it was super straight. The .350 is a bit of a problem but if you shim a .335 it is fine. the stock shaft was a little light and weak for my liking and the PM702 dropped the spin rate and cut down the dispersion. I swing between 107-112 and usually launch around high 13* to 14*. (i did have to put the weights in a high neutral position to get bring the launch up a little)

hope it helps,

Axiv 6568M - the Axiv does very, very well in this sized head. If you have a good clubmaker, the shim will make no difference.

The Graphite Design M is also a fantastic shaft (with that SS you might find the PT S a little willowy).

If you are looking for something a little lighter on the pocket, I've always thought the R7 and NVS 75 were made for one another.

Thanks for the reply's so far !!!

But I'm not an expert on shafts so what do you mean with "shimming"?

If someone could explain this, so I could explain this to the clubmaker overhere...

I live in Belgium you see, so most things here are off the shelve and anything out of the

ordinary they won't do..., or say they can't do...

What I understand is that I can fit a .335 shaft in my R7 (.350) head without any problems?

This way I do have a lot more options to think about!

Thanks for any replies given!
