Spoon Posted February 18, 2011 Report Share Posted February 18, 2011 in short, getting a deep 3 wood for off the tee and long par5s, dissapointed with the teebox attributes of the egg, she will be relegated to a 5 wood! eyeing the new 2011 inpres x v woods! now the big debacle is what to shaft it with? im thinking quadra fex fw 75s or ozik f7m2. love the ozik f6m2 in the egg but too light for me, flex is perfectomundo. now the quadra is proven in the driver but have zilch experience in their FW line. which ya reckon i go for guys? dont have my wood yet but need to pull the the splinters troubling my mind. quad or ozik?

FE would be awesome to, forget about the ozik......crazy and Quadra are far superior.

Allways wanted to try the FE FW, the driver shaft dispertion is so tight i could imagine it would be ideal in a 3 wood. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spoon Posted June 27, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 27, 2011 I am resurrecting this thread, I never did end up getting the crazy or the quadra. I have however tried a plethora of shafts Ranging from quattro md, ozik fm series, tour ad di, machine drev, fubuki alpha . Was that 5? They are all inadequAte. The Best would be the gds in feel, dispersion goes to the ozik but surprisingly feels the the worst amongst the bunch. The drev Even felt better. Vie learned the hard expensive wAy. Why do I even bother I should have gotten the quadra FEX fw shaft from the very start. That Will be the final experiment, I will not try any other shaft in my driver but quadra, why should it be different in the woods. Il have updates soon.

Spoon Posted June 27, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 27, 2011 Stew, hey that f6m2 from your egg how would you compare that to a FEX fw 65s? I like My wood shafts actually softer and about the same weight as my driver. Would you say the 65s would play stiffer than the f6m2? I'm a bit worried because at only 69 grams the cpm is Coming out to 270. A bit stiff for a fw shaft. Based on the tables of course and not real world experience. Let me know your thoughts as I don't want this to be another futile shaft experiment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eca Posted June 27, 2011 Report Share Posted June 27, 2011 Good luck C, sounds like ur loving the proto so it makes sense to try this experiement. I found it hard to fill. Even the current one which I had proven to myself to be the best one I have owned, I still contemplated selling. I just don't practice with it & don't hit it enough during a round. And when you do pull it out, it's normally Crunch time, & if u hit it bad then it's like ahhh your getting sold!! Only to come back next game & give me 3 birdies.. Fun of golf.

Yeah the 3wood is your best friend but can be your enemy when you least Expect it. I think this particular culprit is the shaft. I think id prefer a low mid kick shaft to get the Ball airborne quicker. Today I had one good shot with it, I was so OFF that I used my 22 driving iron for second Shots on long par 3s and tight par 4s. Wouldnhave used my rc20 ute but don't have it yet.

Allways wanted to try the FE FW, the driver shaft dispertion is so tight i could imagine it would be ideal in a 3 wood. Skip, read my post about the FEX vs FEX proto, I'm going heavier w the 75s. That leaves a problem with the fw woods. I like my woods softer feeling and have a Higher launch, pref tip soft to get the ball airborne quick. High launch low spin my preference although I can live w mid spin. The oziks are out coz they feel like glass poles. Brittly low launch monsters but not My vup of chai! Thinking quad f75s but worried about the cpm of 270. As the proto 75s which I intend for my driver is 265tops. And as I said I like em fluffier to aid in launch. Based on my spec requirement, the DI and DJ are the only ones That fit the criteria. Care to comment? I've decided to o with either a ping g15 4w or k15 for the time being or until the next big shallow jdm wood comes along. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spoon Posted July 30, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2011 Guys just to update, have tries the f7m2 and was the worst feeling of the bunch, was heavy and stout Very glassy and found the low launch mid high kick too much to handle and I felt I could not load it Properly with my tempo. The fire express was alright, no bells and whistles like their driver shaft offerings, find that their fw shafts Are mediocre considering the price points. I guess I am the only one that thinks this. Value is relative but IMHO their are better performing shafts at half the price. I felt that the best feeling ones were the graphite designs. They are smooth feeling superb driver shafts. I briefly tried an md6 but found it too light, if I gone up to md7 wouldn't have solved the prob as it's still relatively Mid launch mid spin, similar to the f6m2 but miles ahead in the feel department. Graphite design tour ad di, very very good probably the 2nd best around, nice smooth smooth feel , launch is not As high as you think, orthose getting too high a flight your using too weak a flex, traj should be boring. Got tons Of rollout which is good for me but may not what you want when attacking pin. The winner, old faithful quattro green. Feels like the friendlier buddy of the DI yet more stable. Playing the 75s W a cpm of280 but feels loads happier than any ofbthe above shafts w the exception of the Di. So here you have it, sometimes newer not necessarily the best. I had this same shaft in an epon 201 back in 07, I've Forgotten how good it feels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eca Posted July 30, 2011 Report Share Posted July 30, 2011 I have used that C and i liked that shaft. Had the ilima 80s did not work out, that was also my fall back shaft. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I totally agree about the importance of the 3 wood, and it's sometimes fickle nature. My own alternative is an 18* 5 wood that I find very useful.

Eca Posted July 30, 2011 Report Share Posted July 30, 2011 Having a reliable 18* hybrid for me was key until i found the current 3w. If the 3w off then back to the hb but when it's on then it opens more scoring opportunities with par 5s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spoon Posted July 30, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2011 3w was on fire today used int many times , had less confidence w my driver for some reason, was getting a lot Of left side attention, come to think of it I think I find the flex a bit loose, I should have tip trimmed it .5! Ah that's Water under the bridge! Maybe go down to 44.5 since it's a smaller driver head. Yes that could work indeed. Cpm is A shade under 270. Would prefer something in the 277 range at this point. Hmmm p9003 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spoon Posted July 30, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2011 W8 til 1 more round C. Mite just be an off day since u been hitting it gr8 b4. Gained more distance with my irons, finding my 3, 4 ii shafts loose As well. Have them w my hybrid 950hts. May go get them swapped with the Original modus 3 like the rest of the set. As for the 9003 I actually find it on the lighter side, it's around 68 grams trimmed So the p9003 looking ever so tempting. Maybe on September. I attribute this change to my pt post injury Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
