supo Posted July 27, 2012 Report Share Posted July 27, 2012 for absolutely no reason what so ever. other than im bored and going on hols tonight to play golf for a week... ive decided to swap the uber reliable crazy F16/fex 75xs combo over to a roddio tour proto that i just dont play enough. these protos shafts were i my yamaha tour heads 14 + 17* and i just want to see what the story is in a differnt shaped , style heads like the very pear shaped crazys. the f14 had the crazy black 80fw 8.2 and this thing was a machine! u want to see low launch, LOW LOW spin bullets with a fairway wood........ this was the mack daddy ! i could very easily play this FW instead of a driver and not really suffer that much distance loss. prob 2 clubs on most shots on grounds where i get a bit of run. on these tracks i could very easily hit this and the F16 and have a pw at most on most par 5s. but i wasnt using it , porb bec its too low. the roddio shafts are not quite..................... as stiff, but they arnt for mickey mouse either, these things are fabulous shafts.. really really good feeling and higher launch WHICH is why i think they will be good in the pear crazy heads. wont have to go hammer and tongs and the ball every shot. althought ikinda like doing that. and il lget a bit more air time. im backing this build will usurp the FEX crazy black on grounds of ease of play. the fex in the f16 tho is almost perfect..................... if anyone has one of these f16 heads and is thinking of a change of shaft... .. put the fex into it and watch it go, its super . if the roddios play near as good ill be a happy camper results next week...., Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

supo Posted July 29, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 29, 2012 well they arnt as low. but euqally as stiff. bal doesnt want to move abouttoo much which is ok.the 85 gram 5 wood shaft was a peach gotthat singingoff the deck ,and the 75 gram 3 wood was dead straight , the heads were fantastic, the f16 off th e deck especially is beautiful , i think these are longer than the yamahas , byt just a bit harder to hit as consistantly the 3 wood off thetee was a peach using the yamahas stingers tom to get a good comparison. ill besticking with these shafts i nthe f14 and f16... and decindin the fate ofthe fex and cray fw next week, the roddio shafts are good!

supo Posted July 30, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2012 Yamaha v14and v17 stingers this morning same course sameconditions tries to use on same holes for comprable results wel the f14 is better off the tee than the yamahav14 but impossible fron the turf distance not much in it f14 grts it and gets better accuracy with less manouverability much better for straight down the pipes shots. The yamaha v14 was perfectly good. But the crazy takes it. The yamahav17 my" trusty" never lets me down and didnt agn today its amazing how one club can make a bag completr bec of its versatility this is my club its just as long as the crazyf16 not a scrap less and its easier to look at and hit. This wins as i suspected it might. The f16 tho is lowerand more penetrating both the crazy are a stronger build than the yamahas they feel much much better as well the stinger shaft as a fairway is amazing truly the best there isbar none as a comparison to the original shafts i prefer the roddios bec i think they are weight suited better for my swing , the crazy 8.2 should have been in the f16 that would have been amazing a bit more loft and 16.5' thus cud be usdd as asole wood withoutthe nedd for 2 and hence giving another option in the scoring irons....... MENTAL NOTE TO SELF But as a pairing the roddios get the nod the single shafts wil be in my thoughts The stingers in the yamahaz well ......., sorry fellas but u jus gotta hit one to beleive it peerless feel really peerless Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supo Posted July 30, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2012 Forgot to say thef14 is the best single piece fw but its not for the fiarway unless ur a brute its too fullbodies and to low but from a tee its great the shafts...., the fex is the highest and i think the best feeling of the non stingers the crazy easily the lowest and strongest its almsot got me thinking aboit putting the stingers in crazys and the gettimg anothrr yam head 17or 18' for the crazy fw and the fex in a 14' head never ends Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supo Posted July 30, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2012 Disregard the statement about nit hittimg the f14 off the deck thats the differemce the shaft makes with the crazyfw not a hope in hell but the roddio i just knocked it onfrom260 to 15 feet missed the fricken eagle putt!!!!! Yes you most crrtianly can hit the f14 off the deck with the right shaft Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
