Posted November 26, 201113 yr All, I'm getting a set of Miuraism clubs from Supo with Shimada Tour shafts installed. I love the way these felt when I tried the clubs, and am looking forward to the combination. My other set of clubs that I use regularly are Miura CB-2006s with Nippon NS Pro 850s installed. In retrospect, they're too light for me. I was at the driving range last night and found a set of Shimada Constant shafts installed in a set of Vega VC01s. The Pro Shop is willing to pull the Constants and install them in my CBs, but I was wondering if the slight increase in swing weight (98 vs 85 g) is worth the hassle, and whether the Constants have any other differences to the Tours, or the Nippons?
November 26, 201113 yr I think the shimada tour is about 110-120g, I have a set in my new epon iron, have not play yet, will play tomorrow!
November 26, 201113 yr I think the shimada tour is about 110-120g, I have a set in my new epon iron, have not play yet, will play tomorrow! I only have shimadas in my wedges and they feel great. maybe i should look into putting them into my irons. they should be wonderful
November 26, 201113 yr Nice Pick up! This the SB02s? I'd leave then as is until you get time to get used to them. Sounds like a real good combo from Stew's write up.
November 26, 201113 yr Author I'm definitely keeping the Tours in the SB02s. Too sweet a setup to ever consider messing with! Stew is spot on in his previous posts. I was thinking of changing the NS Pros out of the CBs for the Constants. Bit more weight, and they felt really great in the Vegas.
November 26, 201113 yr Author The other consideration is that they'd run around $400 installed with Iomic sticky 2.3 grips. Seems pretty pricey!
November 26, 201113 yr Author The SB02s just arrived. Right off the bat, I can see one difference: the Tours are stepped; the Constants are tapered. Not sure if that equates to any difference in flight or feel. Thanks for any feedback anyone can provide.
December 6, 201113 yr Author The K's are PERFECT in the SB02s. I recommend these shafts highly to anyone looking for a no-nonsense, smooth, and pure shaft. Great flight, outstanding feedback, ZERO harshness. Could not ask for anything more. My original question was whether anyone had any thoughts on the Constants, which are slightly lighter.
