Posted July 13, 201113 yr I'm playing a Tour AD SF shaft now but I find I am getting way too much spin. It's defintiely due to my amateur swing but as I am prepared to live with my swing, I am thinking of the DI as a replacement as that is lower spin to help with this. The DI is also working well enough in my AF 101. Anyone tried the SF and DI in their 3Ws? Feedback appreciated and thanks in advance.
July 13, 201113 yr Seriously try the md7s best fw wood in gd im hitting it as we speak in a rc driving spoon its better suited than the crazy fw 80 thst light blue thing is superb
July 13, 201113 yr Author Seriously try the md7s best fw wood in gd im hitting it as we speak in a rc driving spoon its better suited than the crazy fw 80 thst light blue thing is superb thanks for chiming in so quickly. I am not sure about the MD series. Thoose whom I know that have played it say it is fairly high spin as well. I think GD positions the MD that way as well. I my off the tee with the FW literally has no run even on dry fairway (we don;t have inksy hard fairways in my neck of the woods). Again, its swing related I admit so I just want to manage that a bit while acknowledging I just don;t have the commitment to change the swing being a very very social golfer now.
July 13, 201113 yr funny you would ask this as i have posted a ton of questions about this in other forums. i have the tour ad md6 in my 3 wood and i find it too light. has a nice mid trajectory and mid spin. being the tinkerer i am changing it to a heavier shaft. i was thinking DI or DJ but after doing my research i decided on the quattrotech green as it is tip kick so i get the higher launch i desire while keeping it mid-high spin. but to those who have played it in their 3ws the quattrotech has less spin than advertised and is much more stable than the DJ which was originally my first choice.
July 13, 201113 yr The very reliable quattrotech has long been a favorite FW shaft because it is simply so stable. Many Japanese pros still use the QT in the FW's. Both the DI and DJ spin less than the MD and frankly they are all good FW choices. It depends on the swing and the desired trajectory and spin.
August 13, 201113 yr Installing the gd di8s in my ping k15 today. Will have updates For you soon, I loved the quattro 75s and i think I will like this Even more due to having less spin. Updates soon.
August 14, 201113 yr I've had the GD Quattro's in my 5 and 9 FW's for a while now. So stable and predictable. I like the higher ball flight with the QT"s. I'm able to stop a ball on the green with this shaft. Of course.... I'm trying the DI shafts in my Akira's Goodsie is putting together right now. I know if they don't work well the QT's will and will change them out quickly. Hoping the ball flight is just a little and not a lot lower with the DI's Still about 2 weeks for the review. I've also found the Diamana's make good FW shafts as well. The Kai'li in particular. Edited August 14, 201113 yr by idrive

Feels almost the same , mid low kick that gets the ball airborne and very low Spin, height and traj lower than the qt lots of roll. Brilliant in the 3w but I suggest Going DJ in the 5 and up as roll is not what you want. These shafts are ushering a new era!

The Kai'li in particular. agree 100% the kaili is just a brilliant fw shaft at a good price. ijust got one i n my ute and was very impressed with it once agn if it wernt for my ludicrous love of the top shelf id play the kaili in every fw i also find the GD md range a briliant fw shaft, gets the ball alittle higher and softer on the green. the kaili i find lower more penetrating
