Craig Posted September 21, 2011 Report Share Posted September 21, 2011 Hi Guys Got my Crazy Steels Target Tour 120 Stiff in Dark Chrome. Firstly look the real deal and as mentioned the Dark Chrome is certainly not real dark. Just a dash I would say. Put them in Yonex blades (which are by far my favourite set of blades) and had my first hit today after work. First day in ages that I got caught back at work as had to look after a problem that my Dad had. So only had 5 holes to hit them. Unlike the Crazy wedges where my first impressions were mixed these shafts are different. First thoughts are that they are the real deal. Feel nice with very very penetrating flight. First words to describe them is smooth and consistant Gut feeling is that the hard hitters are going to love them. Unfortunately they dont have magical properties as I tried to hit a 3 iron 210 metres uphill and into a stiff breeze and failed. Ah well at least I tried. Will furnish a further report when I have hit them some more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JMCMB Posted September 21, 2011 Report Share Posted September 21, 2011 I'm very curious about how they feel vs. Other steel shafts.... Pretty much same question as Spoon. J. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mjr. D Posted September 21, 2011 Report Share Posted September 21, 2011 Ya compare them with the Crazy graphite, Program 130's, modus 3's, C-Tapers, Shimadas, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig Posted September 21, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2011 Sorry Guys Have not hit them enough to really compare Also have not tried many of the shafts that are mentioned. Lastly I dont have the ability to really compare different shafts etc as i am only an average player at best. Hopefully someone with higher levels of skill can report on them in the future. if only my skill levels matched my enthusiasm. Will try my best to compare and maybe help someone out with their choice of shafts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dkats Posted September 22, 2011 Report Share Posted September 22, 2011 Looks like you were playing PX 5.5 in the same head previously? Flex-wise how does it compare to your PX 5.5s? How about your ball flight? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mjr. D Posted September 22, 2011 Report Share Posted September 22, 2011 Looks like you better hand em over! Haha,jj. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMCMB Posted September 22, 2011 Report Share Posted September 22, 2011 Just curious as to how they feel throughout the swing.... You don't have to be an excellent golfer to feel the difference shaft to shaft.... Things like do they play stiff or soft, do they kick hard, can you feel the shaft throughout the swing, are they boardy? For me, ive always been looking for a shaft that delivers the performance and weight of a low flight steel shaft(DG, SP Blue), but a lot of the feel aspects of graphite as far as I like a smooth, pretty active shaft that I can feel kick, and there really isn't anything that I have found that meets that criteria, but these shafts are advertised as being pretty much that(that's why I ordered 2 sets lol), and I'm really curious if they do what they say they will feel wise..... Performance really depends on how skilled the player swinging the club is, and there are a lot of shafts that perform very well, and do exactly what they are supposed to, but for me, the trouble has always been finding a shaft that feels just right.....

supo Posted September 22, 2011 Report Share Posted September 22, 2011 i used to like the low piercing steel shats like the ns sp blues, still do i spose, but i got my mits on a cpl of sets of NS protos the ora and the f215s, and everything has changed. they launch high but not in a back spin way , they go straight up and just soar. and fall dead on the greens. i can not go back to the other ball flight any more even in hawaii wehn it was really blowy every day these just ruled. they hit the greens that are like cement and stick. the dispersion is fantiastically straight very hard to move about laterally they were paul caseys actual shafts. ( or so im assured) and he gives it a bit of a nudge . lord knows what hes gone to now if he pulled these! they were the precursor to the ns 1150 tours and all who've hit those pretty much havnt bad word to say about em. ive just picked up a set of True temper "monaco" shafts the ones darren clarke used to win the open with i have NO idea what to expect with those, but ilike the fact he smokes a stogie and guzzles guinness, so taking that into accoutn.............. im backing the shafts will suit me. they are going into my yamaha(yep u guessed it) 2006 tours Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig Posted September 23, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2011 ok guys here goes Hit them again yesterday so will have a crack at a more in depth analysis. These shafts are lower launching than the Project X in the same heads with a much more penetrating trajectory. One has feel of the head throughout the swing (same as the Project X) and distance is about the same maybe marginally longer. They feel smooth throughout the swing and lively at impact. Dont feel I have to work hard to square the short irons. However did push the long irons right so as per my initial thoughts they may be a tad stiff for me as did not do this with the PX's Great stopping power on the greens but this may be more related to the greens than the shafts. Up here at present we have barren fairways and super hard greens due to the fact we have had no rain for about 4 months and my local courses water supply has been out of action. However since last week thay have restored the water supply and the greens have been getting plenty of water. Saw pitch marks for the first time in months. Compared to other shafts I will do my best. In the past DG's(both S200 and 300) in any head initial launch is low to medium with significant ballooning. These I find launch higher but do not balloon and better all round soft feel particularly at impact. The feel at impact with these shafts is what really stands out to me. That and the fact that like the Super Peening Blue they go straight and stop. Compared to KBS tours much lower flight and better feel at contact. I find I lose distance with the KBS Tours but have good stopping power. I hit thwe Crazys definately longer. Have not hit any Graphites except the Crazy wedge shafts and these are nowhere near as silky smooth as them. Similar performance to the C Tapers in Miura SB 01 but feel much better. C Tapers in these heads perform well but feel harsh. Going to put them in something else. which will give me a better idea of how the C Tapers feel. Might get another set of these shafts for those Miura heads but drop down a flex. Overall I do not get along with NS Pro shafts as although I think they have excellent feel, they Balloon for me and have poor dispersion. Overall they feel the most similar to the Project X but with a lower more penetrating ball flight and tighter dispersion. Overall a great first up steel shaft from Crazy where they have achieved what they set out to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMCMB Posted September 23, 2011 Report Share Posted September 23, 2011 Ohhh boy, just what i wanted to hear.... Mine didnt arrive today :( tommorrow though, its on!!!

gocchin Posted September 23, 2011 Report Share Posted September 23, 2011 Craig great feedback. I knew they would have great feel and the strong penetrating trajectory is an added bonus. Plus they look great! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
