April 23, 201311 yr Author comment_206745 Didn't know there was an R flex. I will give S-yard a call and ask them tomorrow.
April 23, 201311 yr Author comment_206749 I just spoke to our S-yard sales rep and yup, R flex is now available for the 10.5* loft as well. 9.5* as special order. Swing speed are approximate and depend on swing style as well. 87-95 R 92-100 SR 98-108 S

April 23, 201311 yr comment_206758 Wow this shaft is more stout than most other brands stock shafts. I should be S/R. I'm playing stiff with amazing results.

April 23, 201311 yr comment_206765 Yes the SR flex will take more than you think. Been saying this for a while however I understand the tentativeness.
April 24, 201311 yr Author comment_206779 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).
