gocchin Posted April 23, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 23, 2013 Didn't know there was an R flex. I will give S-yard a call and ask them tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+TourSpecGolfer Posted April 23, 2013 Report Share Posted April 23, 2013 Wow this shaft is more stout than most other brands stock shafts. I should be S/R. I'm playing stiff with amazing results. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty much the point I've made in other posts. Try the SR, will be easier to launch with better results IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bogeydog Posted April 23, 2013 Report Share Posted April 23, 2013 Yes the SR flex will take more than you think. Been saying this for a while however I understand the tentativeness. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gocchin Posted April 24, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 24, 2013 Yes the stock shaft as I noted was chosen by Kobayashi-san himself from prototypes available at Graphite Design. He purposely chose something a tad more stout to pair with a smaller head. This allows for more control and stability and reduces the flex/twisting in the shaft to prevent ballooning or unwanted loss of direction as typically softer shafts would do. Also with a stiffer shaft less reliance on timing which is a good thing for the smaller head and probably why people hit it so well (predictable).
