Posted October 13, 201014 yr comment_162287 Any info about spin, launch and trajectory of this new GD shaft? How does it perform compared with the DI and EV series?
October 13, 201014 yr comment_162288 GD hasn't even officially announced this shaft yet. It's only shown up as an upgrade option for many up and coming club releases from various manufacturers. Based on the specs it's pretty low torque and most likely lower launching than most current Tour AD models. The DI is very low spin, in the recent 2011 Japan shaft bible it spins lower than both the Crazy and Quadras

October 14, 201014 yr comment_162300 S, Technically the MD, EV and DI all take out the left side to some extent. The MD actually features both a stiff butt and mid section, while the higher launching EV has a stiff butt but slightly softer mid and tip area. The DI features a stiffer mid and tip area hence the very low spin. These statements are referring to the 70g+ models as the lighter ones have slightly different stiffness profiles.

TKS i kept going to the lighter shafts which didnt suit. i might even try another DI in the 7 series as a faiway wood shaft i think they would suit beautifully.

October 14, 201014 yr comment_162320 Just been informed they will be available from October 28th as aftermarket shaft. You're right... I guess I didn't look hard enough. It will be released in the same flexes as the DI 5 6 7 8 and torque as I mentioned is about 1.0 less than the DI in each respective model. However the torque is just one aspect. The new DJ is supposedly an evolution of the DI which was already pretty good. It incorporates the same design using nano technology with supposed increase in control and even more distance. More control and more distance.... sounds good. (^_^)

November 11, 201014 yr comment_162755 I always thought that it is out already, saw that on the new Tourstages. Correct me if i am wrong.
