mygreenaliem Posted March 30, 2012 Report Share Posted March 30, 2012 Ok, been on a fantastic journey with my golf and working hard on my game/swing. It's really paying off. I am also an equipment geek and like to experiment. Poor Tario.... (he has been brill!!). I have been mucking about with drivers/shafts etc as some will have seem posts on Crazy/RBZ etc... Before this combo, I had a Crazy 435II with royal dec S but this was awful. Then fitted royal dec X shaft but swing weight was not achieved so I shelved it. Been gaming Crazy 80Noir ls 7.4, recently changed to 6.9 with a tour head and its been great. I went to range today and for some reason took the crazy head with royal dec shaft. Warmed up and as I did so, man it blowed a hoolie here in Dubai. I was in the far corner of range and hitting into the wind. Out came the Crazy/rd combo first swing, bang!!! dead straight into wind landed and rolled onto green 270 yards.... simply stunned, lucky I thought. did it again - same result, tried again 14 times and all but one (horrible left shot) were all very similar. I then compared to gaming club RBZ tour with 80 noir LS - flight higher and did not go as far (not by much though). I am taking delivery of yam V tour with diamana X next week also. So to the valued opinions of you on here... Seems my swing and golf is getting to a point I can quickly adapt to different shafts and swing weights but should I stick to one or what? I am asking as I am getting Epon Zero and am wondering what shaft to use? I was thinking of ordering the Black 50 for the epon.... The thing I noticed about the royal deco was I could be a lot more violant in transition and turn hard. With the Noir, it has to be timed well - which is easy. With both shafts my really bad shot is left (not a snap hook - more a low horrible straight pull). This is why I was thinking about the black 50. Or do I go for royal dec in an even stiffer flex.... thoughts welcomed.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+TourSpecGolfer Posted March 30, 2012 Report Share Posted March 30, 2012 That's interesting that you were able to get aggressive with the royal deco as it fits smoother tempos better most of the time. CB-50 & CB-46 are outstanding shafts that many get great results with. I think your spot on with CB-50 & Epon Zero sounds like a dream setup. CB-46 will also keep you from going left as well. In regards to flex and the royal deco people with 108-120mph swing speeds have been getting great results going down in flex but it seems that isn't the case based on what you described here.

robbie Posted March 30, 2012 Report Share Posted March 30, 2012 270 yards into the wind with range balls is awesome and to do it 13/14 times, wow.......I would bag that baby in a heartbeat ! you do not need any more distance than that to be a + golfer !!!

I have been mulling my results over and still can't believe how amazing it was - and why it was? I mean a driver with a swing weight I don't even know (its light man), shaft cut to 45" on a shaft meant to be 46" or longer to perform... being able to swing my natural swing (I have a violent transfer that have been trying to temper), just turn my shoulders back through and let it go.... been the first driver I truly been able to do this and in windy conditions too! Really liked the feel as well. Sat here shaking my head and wanting to go hit it now.... Quite excited about the Yamaha arriving next week and the Epon zero after. Advice on the Black 50 appreciated. Couple of questions: 1) How does the black feel in comparison to the royal deco? 2) Given I have found ideal shaft in 80LS in 6.9 and royal deco in X cut to 45" - what shaft flex shpuld I go for (I will want Epon Z in 45" too) 270 yards into the wind with range balls is awesome and to do it 13/14 times, wow.......I would bag that baby in a heartbeat ! you do not need any more distance than that to be a + golfer !!! Thanks for the encouragement - working very hard on my golf - big shout out to my golf coach Mark Gregson-Walters here in Dubai - started working with him four weeks ago and just like my journey with the shafts, I have found a good-un!
