I can attest to that. I swing about 100 mph and the Roddio W6BA stiff in my driver seems perfect. I can imagine launch will be on the high side for those who swing harder, but for me it works. Don't see any reason to change (at least for now;). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supo Posted April 2, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 2, 2011 well..., what aday..., the stig nad i took 12 drivers about the same 3 woods and a heap of other woods and utes hit a ton b4 the match and ton after it my shoulders bloody killing me. the e 2009 shingospec shafted egg at 279 cpm and 328 grams 3 wood was a BEAST.....! its preopsterouly long, much longer than my new model egg with the crazy 80 fw and its like an elecrtic eel the feeling is that alive! i bagged it and hit a cpl of superb shots. got it turn over nicely and was wow..! no idea where ill play thiis tho. im thinking its going back to oz its low too the high launch of the egg has been muted with this shaft it wil run like cath freeman. the new egg in comparison was way way higher. that other 5 wood also was a beast it reminds me of the tour edge exotics, big face suoer long 5 wood. i hitthis against my yamaha^stinger x to see how it went nad the on off was just a cannon, with that tour proto shaft.was smahing it. distance prob the same , but the stinger shaft is just so tightits rediculous. the onn off was easyier to move around but i liked that yamaha better easier to hit not sure what im gonna do withthese fairways i just bought them bec shingo had them made. kinda collector i guess, not every day u get to get a good palyers actual clubs. they are bulletts but i like the yamahas better.

Interesting comments re the roddio and 100mph swingers, my bro is bang on 100 and I've been looking for something for him, he hits draws, they don't go left do they?
