Spoon Posted November 25, 2012 Report Share Posted November 25, 2012 Ok guys help me out. Only choosing between the mentioned shafts Only consider crazy with an actual fitting in japan! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nobmontana Posted November 25, 2012 Report Share Posted November 25, 2012 I have tried 3 of the 4 mentioned here. My vote goes for Diamana X - Seems to give me best dispersion for me without sacrificing feel even though it is an X flex. BB7 S is a close second place for me great feel and trajectory. Proto FEX did not provide good feel for me perhaps I needed a Stiff instead of an XS. I have not tried the Z9003 but I have tried the older 9003 in S and really liked it.

Spoon Posted November 25, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 25, 2012 Different animals here. Do elaborate? Nob, had the proto 75s in a 102 one of my all time favorite shafts I should consider that again seriously! The bb7s and diamana x intrigue me But being I'm a stinger fanatic keeping it in the diamond family would make sense? How would u compare the diamana x To stinger? Stinger is high high Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nobmontana Posted November 25, 2012 Report Share Posted November 25, 2012 I have never had a Stinger unfortunately. Diamana X to me is the most stable shaft I have used to date, I think Diamana X is mid launch - low/mid spin. I usually play an S flex with most shafts and I was initially worried that this Diamana X 70X would be too much for me. but I can still feel the head and getting good distance and good dispersion with my AF102 8.5* combo. I have tried a CB50 Black 7.7 in this head before, but did not have much luck. I was not able to feel the load on the shaft. I guess my swing style and tempo suits the Diamana X better. FYI My SS is around 110 to 115 mph with a smoother transition. ( not abrupt ) I have used the FEx Proto in 75 X and it felt much stiffer in a Zero head. I have since re-shafted the Zero with a Basileus Z 70 S which I played today for the.first time and loved it. I can really feel the head now and impact is much more Epon soft. I just like softer/smoother feeling shafts in general, but the Diamana X even in X flex is so smooth that X flex feels good to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spoon Posted November 25, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 25, 2012 Thanks for your inputs. Of the crazy shafts ive tried find them stiffer to flex. Hence importance of fitting I had 2stingers in x and did ot find them stiff considering I'm 110 at most. I've just trimmed down choices to diamana x and BB7s!

Danj Posted November 25, 2012 Report Share Posted November 25, 2012 Love the BB shafts. Low launch low spin, but with a softer feel. Currently use Ahinas and they feel like crap in comparison. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spoon Posted November 26, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 26, 2012 nice BB7 looks like the perfect candidate! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mob Posted November 26, 2012 Report Share Posted November 26, 2012 I think a lot of it has to do with getting the right flex and weight shaft. I struggle with this constantly. I play an x flex in the Fubuki K series and it feels very good to me. I got a Crazy 80 II in 7.7, and I couldn't feel it load. I changed to the Crazy LS Noir 7.4, and now I worry that it may be alittle too whippy for me. I just purchased a Quadra Fire Express Max WBQ in SX flex and it is on the way. I have heard some really good things about this shaft so I am excited to give it a whirl. I go back and forth between stiff and x flex depending on the shaft. I think that I really live in between these flexes, so I am hoping that the FEX in SX hits the spot. I tend to play shafts in the 60 gram range, rather than the 70+ gram range.

Seems similar to me. I also have a Motore Speeder VC 6.2 Tour Spec in X flex and it feels significantly stiffer than the Fubuki in X flex. Surprisingly, I seem to hit both well. If I ever buy another stiff flex shaft, I will buy one in the 70 gram range. Can you feel a difference when torque drops below 3.0? All my shafts I have played have been in the 3.0 - 3.5 range for torque. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All my shafts I have played have been in the 3.0 - 3.5 range for torque. honestly torque confuses me. i can feel the difference between 4 and 2.8 but when your playing shafts that are 3.3, 3, 2.8 and 2.3 respectively i cant tel. im not that good!
