d*ch Posted August 16, 2012 Report Share Posted August 16, 2012 (edited) I have been reading about Crazy shafts for about 5 months now. At the present time, my Ryoma V-spec 9.5* is equipped with Crazy CBII 80 Nero 7.7 (stiff/Extra Stiff). The shaft is a bit too stiff for me and I do not get any distance. It does not matter how hard or slow I swing – max is 240 yards. I can hit my PRGR spoon 15* stiff the same distance. I really like Crazy shaft – best shaft I ever have. My friends with single handicap can hit balls 300 yards with my driver. My decision to buy CBII shaft based on GD DI experience which was a wrong. I have been reading (TSG) about longest yard 01 7.4 – Stiff Torque is 5.0. Does anyone who has experienced with LY01, has issue with flight control of those balls? Like Suo67 said “i hated having 12 feet of overhang out the back of my hands. This is a really strong shaft made for distance”. My past experience with a high torque is to guide the driver head to hit the ball at the sweet spot. When missing the sweet spot – ball will go every direction. I also read about LY02 (Robbie has great article about LY02) am not sure if it is for me. What is your estimated swing speed: 100 How far do you hit your driver total distance: Ryoma CBII 240 yards – with the stock shaft 260 yards. My PRGR spoon 15* distance is 240 yards. How far do you hit your 7 iron: 150 Max Are you a smooth or aggressive swinger: Very smooth and easy. What is your tempo like, slow, average or fast: Average – fast. What is your bad shot ie slice, push, pull, hook: Right I would appreciate any recommendation of a shaft (Crazy if possible) that you all may have. I know it is not easy.

robbie Posted August 16, 2012 Report Share Posted August 16, 2012 (edited) something in the Noir class would be perfect in terms of tempo and flex in the 6.9-7.4 range would be appropriate....i think you have to decide what weight shaft u like and its kick profile Edited August 16, 2012 by robbie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d*ch Posted August 16, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 16, 2012 (edited) Robbie, With your experiences with LY-01 and LY-02 - would you recommend that? Mid-kick point and light weight shaft will be for me. Would you recommend any low torque Crazy shaft? Edited August 16, 2012 by d*ch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbie Posted August 16, 2012 Report Share Posted August 16, 2012 Robbie, With your experiences with LY-01 and LY-02 - would you recommend that? Mid-kick point and light weight shaft will be for me. Would you recommend any low torque Crazy shaft? the ly02 is a midkick lightweight shaft......i dont know of any low torque crazy shafts....im pretty sure that the ultra control cb50 shaft has a torque above 3........

wmclarenf1 Posted August 16, 2012 Report Share Posted August 16, 2012 As a suggestion, you MAY be struggling with the loft of 9.5* for this particular head. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EdGolf Posted August 17, 2012 Report Share Posted August 17, 2012 I'm thinking maybe a Crazy RD would suit you more... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you David I just received my Ryoma Maxima 9.5 V with the CRAZY LY 01 7.4; went to the range and the distance that I got from this combo is the same distance that I hit my Exotics xcg4 10.5 with a OBAN KIYOSHI PURPLE 04 stiff, I think that 7.4 is to stiff for me, I have 110mph swing speed and I am hitting 300 yds drives, i think I should asked for the 6.9, I think you should try the 6.9 or lower.

RIduffer Posted April 7, 2014 Report Share Posted April 7, 2014 I play a 7.7 in most of the Crazy shafts I play and our SS are similar, I might be a few higher. Unless the LY plays stiffer, which I don't believe to be the case, something else might be causing the issue... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
