supo Posted February 20, 2012 Report Share Posted February 20, 2012 didnt make it on saturday ,but spend whole day out there yesterday spoke to a few people in depth esp the graphite design guys, t he diamana guys and the ns pro guys got to test the whole shebang of the diamana x range with an epon 152 9.5* head (this head btw is very easy to hit!) the numbers i got on these shafts were terrific it wasnt as low as i though it was going to be but it most def was as tight, dispersion was magic really really tight accros s the whole line iwas hitting the ball badly to the right over all but the blocks were fairway bound or edge of. wasnt getting the hands thru the ball.( back was a bit tired form skiing day before!) but got the last 5 or so pretty well middle of the club and straight started at 60x and went to 70 xx (just for mjr d) best numbers i got was with the 70x backspin was 2000 average 1550-2300 range longest drive was 285 carry 246 head speed 46.7-49 average 48ish mp/s pretty close to these they wouldnt give me the print out. feling, ths shaft felt fantasitic, nothing liek the diamanas of old but then agn not like the crazy either it was more elasticy in the GD BB stlye than the crazy style i THOUGHT. it certianyl was ver y pleasant o hit athe whole range interesttingly the 70s was the one i thought i liked the best, but the guyssaid i shudbe hitting the x the numbers were irrefutable i wil be gettign one of these 100% and im assured they are low laucnhing low low spin nothing at all like the stinger the 70 xx i only hit 2 balls with just o get an idea of how it goes, it certianly didnt overpower me i got it dead straight 270 ish certianly wasnt goting left thatsfor sure hard to say overall bec the head isnt something id play but in a more punchy head i think the 70s might be better suited to be honest. that was the longest shot i got out with a draw. that might be the puppy i think in the punchier head and its def going i nthe yamaha tour 10* bring it on!

Mjr. D Posted February 20, 2012 Report Share Posted February 20, 2012 When you said "I was assured they'll be low launching low low spin" what are you talking about? Didn't you just try the shafts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

charge Posted February 20, 2012 Report Share Posted February 20, 2012 does the metallic blue color on the shaft extend all the way towards the butt end of the shaft? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supo Posted February 20, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2012 didnt pay attention but i think it did the grey black bit was just in the middle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gocchin Posted February 20, 2012 Report Share Posted February 20, 2012 We did hit them as well. They fly very straight and even with the low torque numbers still have feel. Chris has video of the shaft on the launch monitor so we'll have some numbers for you. I talked with Tats our tester about them and he said a very stable shaft but you do have to go after it. Definitely for faster and more aggressive swingers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Petethepilot Posted February 20, 2012 Report Share Posted February 20, 2012 How did it compare with the GD Tour AD BB range stew? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gocchin Posted February 20, 2012 Report Share Posted February 20, 2012 The BB while also a control shaft plays and feels a lot softer. The Diamana X performs much like other high carbon shafts, stout feeling but when you swing it still quite active but with very good control and predictability.

supo Posted February 20, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2012 cant say yet, as i need to see it outdoors . its not fair to hit into a screen and give a comparison esp with the head being so differnt to the one i use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
