supo Posted August 22, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 22, 2012 this one is just a wee bit longer than is considerd normal , not sure what the exact length is , but its 1/2 over. its got a magnificent feel, this shaft is a real surprise packet. iwasnt really expecting heaps but its gives me everything plus more. ite very workable and the differnce in cut shots to draw shots in distacne is massive. which i LOVE i can cut this in to a par 3 and loose huge distance and it just falls dead flat. its perfect.

I have one of the new Super XTDs sitting in my office and was curious on the length so as to approximate distance on it... Thanks... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supo Posted August 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2012 last night iwas hitting the graphite design bb7s and the diamana x 70s flex both in pretty typical soft wind conditions, and i weas hitting dead stright back into the wind . not accross it. . the bb7s is. just a bit too soft for me at around.., 110 mph ish. the great shots rocket off it with a draw but the not so centered ones meander too much. both ways. the feel of this shaft is very inspring, its very pingy and delivers a very nice crisp "ping" i love the sound of it.and i love the feel the flight is mid. thats it. mid no real bias form what i find i can hook the pants of it as much as slice it like a bday cake. with gay abandon. (the x flex i will say tho.... doesnt really like the left side) the more i play this shaft the more i like its all round frinedliness. its just a good mate. its ya pub buddy. i have this in the egg spoon HD in x . and i will be resiting the urge to put somehting else in it. beceause its a beauty its stil la bit light and i can make the 7x move a lot more in the egg, but thats not a driver... ... ill say this shaft might become my gold standard taking over , (or rather evolving) from the diamana blue as what i measure everything agianst. all round , this is prefect. covers everyoines needs in every weight and flex at a very reasonable price. the diamana x is a lot more full , its more muted and feels heavier , but not in weight , at impact.its delivers a more .(if u play tennis...) .weighty shot. its noticeably lower flighted as well ,the ball flight has a noticeably straighter ,lower arc. a more robust, thumping players shaft for sure. prob dont think this will suit players that cant/ dont get stuck in quite hard at impact. it seems to go better the more u put into it. where as the BB7s gets a bit lost or loose as u go harder at it. the X doesnt. it laps it up. it hasnt got the more electic feel ths BB has. its def more thudier, its not as nice.. esp when ur on a range just hitting ball after ball u def notice these things. but after repeating with the same club for 10+ balls u get used to that feel. it gew on me nicely and it brought a good smile. for the stronger player id say the X will suit guys more . and thats stiff vs stiff remember. overall i liked the feel and prob the flight of the BB better but its too soft for me the X is def better suited and on course it will be a lot more penetrating. i was using the same head on this experiment.. the kamui pro kp-x. so i saw what both can do and the diamana x was higher lofted 10vs 9.5. the graphite design is a heck of a shaft for a hell of a lot of folks i reckon. but if ur up around 110 ish and ur looking for a bit ofg 'X" factor then the diamana is hard to ignore.
