Spoon Posted August 8, 2011 Report Share Posted August 8, 2011 well i saw tario's blog on the crazy steel shaft. now this is something from crazy im willing to try. simple menu unlike the multitude of offerings from their graphite shaft line. although too early for anyone to give feedback i am curious to see how they play and feel from actual user reviews and feedback. just a couple of questions, does crazy make these themselves? wonder how they will stack up vs the shimadas and nippons. this really has be intrigued. http://www.golftoimpress.com/crazy-sports-new-target-tour-steel-shaft-details/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eca Posted August 8, 2011 Report Share Posted August 8, 2011 Wow, just after I ordered my shafts.. Never ending.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gocchin Posted August 8, 2011 Report Share Posted August 8, 2011 Apparently Crazy does "make them" themselves though I am sure it is outsourced to some manufacturing factory. They are made in Japan and it is Crazy's design as well as proprietary manufacturing process. It will be a while before there is feedback. I did get some more details. All shafts are taper tip and mid kick. 0.600 butt sizes. I have yet to see them in real life so I actually mixed up the finishes. The standard silver finish is the cheaper one and the dark chrome is the more expensive one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIduffer Posted August 8, 2011 Report Share Posted August 8, 2011 Definitely looks interesting, should be fun to hear the feedback coming from Stew and others. I however am quite happy with my choice to migrate to graphite iron/wedge shafts. At least until the rave reviews come in, then I'll probably plunk down the grand for a 5-LW set, too.

+TourSpecGolfer Posted August 9, 2011 Report Share Posted August 9, 2011 I've got the dark colored 120g in stiff already. I just haven't figured out what heads to stick on them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spoon Posted October 5, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 5, 2011 Ask Jason, he has them and likes them a lot. T i hope he chimes in here. im thinking of going the economical route and trying them in my 2 wedges. i currently use DG spinners and would a tough act to beat. would you know the playing characteristics? spin, flight and comparable flex with other brands? seems like theres not enough info on the web.

JMCMB Posted October 5, 2011 Report Share Posted October 5, 2011 Wedge shafts are awesome, best I have tried so far without a doubt.... I generally don't play a wedge shaft at all as I don't like the feel I get from most of em, but these are tops, step less design doesn't hurt either lol.... So far I like the iron shafts alot, but I LOVE the wedge shafts. I haven't had a chance to try the 110 wedge yet(ordered 1 last night though) so this is only for the 120... Feel and flex wise: they play ultra stout, they don't feel crazy heavy in hand like some other wedge shafts do, but they are def the stiffest I have gamed, they're stiff in the right way though, very stable, with very little movement throughout the swing, but you get a bit of a lively feel at impact that I don't find in most other wedge shafts though, I wouldn't quite call it a kick, more of a short punch right through the ball on full swings which I really like, it makes the shaft a bit more rewarding than other wedge offerings in my opinion... Perfect match for the Yamaha wedges, solid, strong head matched with this very solid, punchy shaft is absolute bliss, I'll screw around with a bunch of setups in other wedges, but I'll never take the Crazy wedge shafts outta these, think AF Tours and SP Blues, they fit that well together... I recently tried the NS Pro WV 125 for a bit and outta any wedge shafts I have tried these are def the closest to the Crazys feel wise, the NS Pros feel a bit heavier but the Crazys feel a bit stiffer, the Crazy are also a bit more active through the ball which is why I prefer them... In my opinion they're def going to be a HUGE improvement feel wise over your spinners C. Performance: I won't say they straight up stand out as performing much better than all other wedge options because in my opinion must wedge shafts do what they're meant to do performance wise, but I'll def say they perform overall as well as any other wedge shaft I have tried, and they out perform the others I have tried in a few areas.... Workability is def the most important factor for me when I shaft up a wedge, the ability to control the spin and ball flight more so than anything else are the deciding factors as to weather I like the performance of a wedge shaft or not, I play ALOT of different shots with my wedges, and I want the shaft I game to work with me on that rather than fighting against me when I wanna alter the flight, shape, or spin, these accomplish that beautifully, no problems at all in the workability department, natural trajectory is a nice mid flight that's strong enough to stay on line, but gets up enough to land pretty softly, I would say it's consistent with the flight I have seen from most other wedge shafts, but these adapt to different trajectories better than most, no problems knocking the flight down a bit with a little hook or cut spin, or opening the club up and blasting it high outta deep rough to land it feather soft, alot of that has to do with the head your playing without a doubt, but some shafts fight adjustments to the ball flight and make it difficult to get just the shot you want, these don't do that at all for me.... As far as total overall spin, they do pretty well, again, consistent wit most other wedge shafts that will increase spin a bit, but anyone who is looking for the wedge shaft that just flat out spins the most on every shot should only be looking at the DG Spinners, they spin FAR more than other wedge shafts from what I have seen, I'm not partial to the shaft, but if your just looking for max spin outta a shaft and don't really care about anything else then those are where you should be looking... Again, for me where the Crazys shine is control, I'm not just looking to spin the crap outta the ball on every shot with my wedges, on a lotta shots, sure, let err RIP, but for the most part what I look for is the ability to control the spin I put on the ball shot to shot but know that the RPMs are there if I need them, it's also important to note that the head/grooves impact spin with wedges more than the shaft in my opinion, but for me finding the right shaft has been the key to finding the control and touch I'm looking for where spin is concerned, and I found that these do a very good job of allowing me to manipulate the spin I put on the ball as well as getting enough feedback to my hands to give me an idea of how different shots and amounts of spin actually feel which I think is a big factor in consistency with wedges where alot of touch is needed and you need to play a lotta shots based on feel... Just about everything about choosing your gear is about personal preference, but I really think most people will appreciate the Crazy Steel 120 wedge shafts(slower swingers might wanna go for the 110 though), a stout profile, more feel through impact than other wedge shafts and excellent performance that's on par or (for me) better than other offerings, if your thinking about giving them a shot, I def say go for it... I'll put out a full review sometime this week for both models of the Crazy Steel iron shafts(120 and lights), I'll say a few things now for people who are thinking about getting them... The 120 isn't going to be loved by everyone, but hard hitters will enjoy it, guys with a slower SS and who don't really hit down on and through the ball should def go for the lights as I'm pretty sure the 120 will feel very boardy and harsh for guys who don't really hit through the ball with alot of acceleration through impact... The 120 def isn't an automatic type shaft, it's more of a "do it yourself" type of shaft, but if you can make it work for you the feel through impact is awesome, a VERY powerful feel through the ball and I can't really think of anything else quite like it, they play rather stiff so I would def say you should go a half flex down from most other shafts to get the most outta it... One thing that springs to mind is that people who really like the Shimada Tour will like this shaft, I'm not going to say the two shafts are all that similar, but there is just something about this shaft that screams Shimada to me, I really don't know why and I can't seem to put my finger on it, but it's just a feeling I get whenever I hit this shaft, I also think the flexes play rather close to the way the Shimada Tour flexes play... The Lights are def going to be appreciated by a much wider array of golfers and for good reason, much more of a user friendly shaft than the 120, I actually far and away prefer this shaft to any other light shaft I have tried which is pretty much everything on the market(although I really want to give the Shimada Tour Light a go and I think it will be the light shaft that gives this a run for it's money), what really stands out about these is that they play far more stable and deliver a much stronger ball flight than other lightweight shafts I have tried, yet they retain a very active lightweight feel and kick which I like... Def going to have a broad appeal, guys who fit into heavier stiffer shafts designed to launch low will like these as an easier lightweight alternative because they keep a much lower, stronger trajectory than other lightweight shafts and feel stable enough throughout the swing to handle whatever you can throw at em... And they'll appeal to the average golfer or slightly slower swinger as well who can't quite handle or doesn't like standard weight steel shafts, but wants a shaft that delivers a stronger ball flight and more stable, slightly heavier feel than other lightweight steel shafts that is still fairly easy to load and has as much activity and kick as other lightweight shafts with a smoother feel... For me personally and my game the 120 fits better, but I really do believe that the Lights are the better shaft overall and that Crazy did a really great job of blending performance and feel aspects of light and standard weight shafts with them, and I like them alot more than I was expecting to... I'm going to game a combo setup in the Miura Baby Blades, 3-5 irons shafted with the lights, and 6- PW shafted with the 120, I think these shafts will take to a combo setup perfectly... If your going to try only one of the Crazy steel shafts to start out I would def say try the wedge 120 as I think it's without a doubt the best steel shaft they have made so far... I'll post up more detailed info on the iron shafts and exactly how they feel and perform for me later this week... Hope this helps. J.
