le_quiet_uno Posted October 3, 2006 Report Share Posted October 3, 2006 (edited) Hi guys, I've been a member here for a short while and have found that this is one great website to find out all the information about Japanese golf equipments. I have learned many great tips from the experts here. Presently I'm in a position of replacing all the shafts in my woods and am in a little bit of dilenma here selecting the right shafts especially trying out my old's Honma 420RF - 10* driver with 2 star TK353 regular shaft. I was hoping maybe the experts here might be able to give me some tips. The following is my current setup: Driver: Tourstage 9* - OEM Tourstage Stiff Shaft 3.4* torque and 64g 3 Wood: Tourstage 14* - OEM Tourstage Stiff Shaft 4.2* torque and 63g 5 Wood: Tourstage 18* - OEM Tourstage Regular Shaft 4.3* torque and 61g I'm a newbie when it comes to equipments & shafts and have only tried a selected range of shafts. I'm wondering whether there are any alternative shafts out there which has similar performance and feel as the TK353 regular but doesn't carry a premium price tag? I would greatly appreciate it if anyone could shad some lights or provide some alternatives for me to try. Many thanks in advance. C.B Edit: P.S Would Mitsubishi Rayon Diamana M-73 ION Stiff play similar to TK353 shaft? Edited October 3, 2006 by Le Quiet Uno Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duffer19 Posted October 3, 2006 Report Share Posted October 3, 2006 Are you trying to replace the TK 353 2 stars or the Tourstages? People buy Honma for its shafts and by replacing them with a cheaper or no as good shaft does not make sense unless the TK is too soft. Replacing the Tourstages I can understand.

Hi Duffer, Well I don't think I will be able to get that Honma off my old man so I'm thinking if I can't get that one off him, i might as well replace the shaft in my tourstage and replace with aftermarket shaft which has similar performance and charactoristics as TK353 shaft. If that makes sense? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TurboSport Posted January 5, 2007 Report Share Posted January 5, 2007 People buy Honma for their shaft technology. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
