supo Posted December 8, 2012 Report Share Posted December 8, 2012 (edited) These are the real deal These are so the real deal I'm havin. Trouble taking them out of the bag They are heavy but not rod like they are the smoothest shafts by a Country mile and im palying the m 1/2 inch over normal at 5 i38.25 Can work them no probs just a bit in it wind yesterday they played really well Distance in crease in very noticeable flight is high stable The Yamaha heads on These are just perfection I'd say I'm at the point of playability with the stiff Idsay I ud need to be Godzilla to play the x flex Magnificent shafts Edited December 10, 2012 by supo67 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spoon Posted December 9, 2012 Report Share Posted December 9, 2012 I have a thump hybrid shaft laying around in stiff I'm reserving it for my next driving iron. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supo Posted December 10, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 10, 2012 ive got a thump i nthe adams super black.. its brilliant . havnt got he aeortechs with me ..didnt have enough bag space. i put a sp blue in the 4i f the yamahs and dam nthats a good match as well. the extra length of these clubs makes my ball go another 1/2 club long, i was missing long all day. ver ystrange sensation. i just gripped down the but a bit and got it wired nicely. the shafts are really stable and a beautiful flight , the are lower than the modus but higher than the monaccos. less workable than the monaccos. noticeably so.. something akin to the SP blue, which is prob why the 4i doesnt feel any differnt . a set of sp blue in these heads would be a super idea as well if anyones thinking.... really really good idea. mine a stiff. no probs with it what soever. im def puling the NS c10 shafts from the personals, they are too heavy. the aerotechs will be going in them carbon graphite irons shafts .........................whod have thought!

RIduffer Posted December 10, 2012 Report Share Posted December 10, 2012 carbon graphite irons shafts .........................whod have thought! Most on here that have had joint injuries or are doing preventive maintenance know, just soooo expensive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supo Posted December 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 11, 2012 yes these arnt cheap and the thumps are one of the cheaper ones pe set. id not go these unlessu like a veyr heavy feeling swing weight tho. which i do bec it slows my tempo down and i get better control. going to play the KBS c-tapers now..... its windy as all hell here alst 3 days. ths c-atapres hud be custom made for this.. if i dont like em today..., then they are out the door on BST this arvo!

MoreBeerBetterGolf Posted December 11, 2012 Report Share Posted December 11, 2012 It's cheaper to buy new bionic arms than get into ho'ing carbon iron shafts for joint issues. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RIduffer Posted December 11, 2012 Report Share Posted December 11, 2012 We'll see if I caught it in time, went for an X flex soft stepped, alternately will have an S flex set coming soon. Sadly, the only action they will see is artificial in nature(almost too easy of joke)... Have a winter project in mind, hopefully my fitter is game or it could get expensive(again, i'm making it very easy for any amature comics)....

supo Posted December 25, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 25, 2012 detailed comparison to c-tapers......monaccos.. got plenty more but its moot beceause they are all rptos and no one has a reference to them so these 2 shafts are popular and played by many...., the c-tapers are the lowest.. then the monacoc then the dianmana thump (s) they are all headed by endo forged irons. callaway tour forged. epon personals yamaha tour not too dissimlar heads.. well they are all pretty much player esque. in the wind the votes is EASILY the c-tapers. then monacco then thumps. in normal conds id go monacco then thump then c-tapers. for winter the thump then everything esle. for a graphite shaft....... the thumps are a very strong rigid shaft in stiff. i cudnt imagine wanting the X the stiff was perfect. i found myslef drawing a lof of balls with these which is VERY WEIRD. the scoring irons i think i cud have donewith more oomph. i found them a bit light from 8-pw not bad... just light. and where we were playing.. (barnbougle) dunes in 30+knot winds...................., thats not what the doctor ordered. the lower irons tho ,.. i liked a bunch, i didnt have to try and muscle up just swung away and for the most made pretty good contact. the 4 iron i have a NS SP blue in, and that was a heck of a combo with the yamaha tour. the impact of the thumps was anything but what the name says.. they are uber smoooooooooooooooooth and while not really a high launching shaft they did tend to go a wee bit higher than i was expecting. they are a shaft u can play every day without a doubt, and without any kinda arm soreness occuring ( well t hast what i found). bec of the super long length ( compared to what i normally play.. 38.5 to 37.75) which i didnt like at all.......i had to choke down a lot which isnt natural to me . i like holding the butt with my pinky and letting the fingers flick thru......! im not sure of the build weight nor the swing weights on these beci literallygrabbed them and ran to the plane. but im taking them in tomorrow to get my guy to see if he can change a cpl of things.. length.... lie... not sure if that possible tho. comapred to the monaccos i found the DIAma.. to be a more challenging shaft. prob bec they are light adn i didnt think icud get the required oomph to make them work. in norm conds, no such issue. but when it was blowing i was def longing for the steel. they are perty straight shooters. didnt really get them to move about. def not as much as the monaccos. thast not to say they didnt move.... they did.. but i foundi had to go harder to do it,, and with a light weight the results werent always............ good........ as for feel, well the feel magnificent. when i got hem pure just fantastico. and on missss**ts no issue at all. easly the nicest off centred shafts ive ever hit . the monacco are def better to hit with the shoter irons . much more confidence to get the ball to do what its told. but hte dias were much prefered in the longer irons. not being funny but i cud EASILY do a 4-7 in the thumps and 8-pw in the monacco as a set.. easily do that. the only swinger is the 6 iron i thinki d like that as a steel. c-tapers were much lower.. much much lower and a much more heardy strong penetrating flight. wind didnt touch these. but in normal conds i think there are a lot more (higher softer) options. i cud easily play these every day. but i think id be missing out on other feels.. the thumps on docile days work beautifully. but so does a tissue box and a broomstick.............. i cud see myslef playing just the c-tapres and the thumps if i had 2 sets of the same irons that cud easily cover all bases. but as a one off set . the monacoos are easily my foirst choice... easily. the best all round is the monacco the best tough horrid day are the c-tapers and the best of tight lies and lovey days are the thumps. i dont like the extra lenght in these and im hoping my guy can do something about it,..but as he knows all my specs . im doubting i can..,, which means ill be pulling them. nad going a differnt vein. after a very good tough introduction to these shaft id rate them very highly, very highly indeed. but i wont just "endure" something as a build that isnt perfect for me. so well see... theres plenty of other options out there. id think it was a shame if i cant get thes to spec. bec i do like t hme a lot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craig Posted December 25, 2012 Report Share Posted December 25, 2012 I actually had a hit of these last weekend at Barnbougle in the toughest conditions you could imagine. Had never even thought of these shafts and am so glad I have tried them as they would be my choice of shaft if I was after something super light Could not believe how super good they felt. So good in fact that I have gone to my bat cave and fished out my set of Crazy graphites and have been hitting them this week. They feel pretty smick as well.

RIduffer Posted December 25, 2012 Report Share Posted December 25, 2012 Would think there is no reason to get them shorter and bent to your spec. Might bring down the SW, but that can be adjusted with tungsten powder... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supo Posted December 26, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 26, 2012 cant do it. went in last night impossible , they wil go to d2 at 38 inch they are 38.25 inch 5i as it stands... il get them bent upright 1/2* to see if that changes things a bit.

frogeye Posted January 10, 2013 Report Share Posted January 10, 2013 Cool info Stew as always. Thanks for sharing. I am going to have to look into the carbon shafts for winter play. Weather in UK and France is terrible but that not stopping me! Just wondering Stew if you or anyone had a chance to look at the new Fuji MCI?
