jacksonlui Posted May 3, 2009 Report Share Posted May 3, 2009 Everything I've read says I should use an SR flex but I was only able to pick up a stiff. I'm glad I did, it didn't feel too stiff. I can't wait to try this out on the course. Does anyone know what type of bend profile this shaft has and what type of swing/transition this was designed for? thanks Jack Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K2_2 Posted May 3, 2009 Report Share Posted May 3, 2009 Hi Jack, Thankfully you asked about a slightly older shaft - I haven't kept up on 09's offerings! The MD-6 was a follow-on from the green Quattro Tech series. The MD-6 was more of a mid bend shaft with a slightly more firm tip, thus offering a bit lower launch. For a driver, I think it would cover a pretty wide range of swings. I have a really slow rotation of the hands through the ball so I do better with a mid-low or lower bend but I still think the MD-6 is a great shaft.

idrive Posted May 3, 2009 Report Share Posted May 3, 2009 I'm playing this shaft in a Taylormade Japan Burner Plus Head at the moment. Great shaft. It has no problem handleing the larger Driver Head. Excellent Feel. Mid launch. (for me) I think if your SS is aproaching 100mph you would be better off with the stiff shaft. I'm swinging very easy concentrating on really loading the shaft. My Tempo is slow. I'm guessing I haven't reached my 1-105ss speed yet. What are you putting it in?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacksonlui Posted May 3, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 3, 2009 (edited) currently i have it in a stock R9. i hit this a bit high but it's been pretty straight for me. If you have it in a burner, it probably plays to a soft stiff. Must feel nice. i'm waiting for my EV6 to be shafted into a sleeve so I can do a comparison with the same head and my same crappy swing =) I'm suspecting the EV6 to perform better as it seems tighter. The MD6 I have has a very distinct spine and neutral bend point and varies only 2-3cpm. It spines and flo's "nicely" if installed logo down. This was the case for both the MD6 and EV6. It seems to have been design that way since it's more than a coincidence. Does anyone know of other shafts that have the same profile? thanks Jack Edited May 3, 2009 by jacksonlui Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
