+TourSpecGolfer Posted January 30, 2013 Report Share Posted January 30, 2013 I've been having FW issues, In fact any wood issues. Changed to a stronger grip on the driver and its helped get rid of my big mistakes but the positive effect hasn't trickled into my FW or UT's. I'm playing the Egg HD, I have a new Ryoma F3 w/ Crazy FW80 in the air now to help eliminate my fade/pull issues. Ha! forget fixing the swing just by new gear right? nah Tats is helping me out with the mechanics. I'm thinking about putting a Tour AD SF-7 X into my Egg HD to straighten her out. with my UT's I just recieved my new 13 Yammy's and they sure are purdy. I went with NS Steel hybrid shafts to keep it in play. After a few range sessions I really like them, actually the steel is saving me a couple strokes per round as I used to toss the FW's into the rubbish at least 1-2 times per round. Any takers on steel? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miuramaniac Posted January 30, 2013 Report Share Posted January 30, 2013 (edited) I've always used steel, usually the NS Pro 95 or 100 or whatever it is, but I guess you prob knew that. I like it over any graphite, better feel and dispersion, not to mention it's usually shorter in length than its graphite counterpart. Some of those utes with graphite just get way too damn long! Oh, and I got the 2013 Yammy 21*, but haven't hit it much yet. Just had another surgery on another finger for tendonitis. How's the 18*?

MoreBeerBetterGolf Posted January 30, 2013 Report Share Posted January 30, 2013 (edited) Actually doesn't surprise me one bit. As I've said before, when I've started transitioning all my shafts over to Japanese carbon, I couldn't believe how anti-left even the "anti-right" shafts are. The added benefit is that it has really made me more cognizant of my release, which is help me hold my lag and time my release much better than I used to. I think most of the American-made clubs teach you that you don't really even need to have a formal release. Learning to hit the Japanese carbon has lowered my ball flight, giving me more distance, and just overall transformed my game for the better. I honestly think that it's just the nature of the material to be somewhat anti-left compared to more traditional graphite or steel. If getting away from that material has resulted and less fading or slicing, I can almost guarantee that it's a release issue. Really concentrate on having a strong, powerful release through the ball, and I guarantee you will see great results. When I put crazy shafts into my egg clubs, the first day at the range I was hitting everything way right, and I never hit things to the right. Now I just focus on kissing the wrists and the ball absolutely explodes off the clubface Edited January 30, 2013 by MoreBeerBetterGolf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIduffer Posted January 30, 2013 Report Share Posted January 30, 2013 I tend to buy the steel version and the put in a graphite shaft after the fact. Lengthwise they put a longer graphite shaft in because they can not because they need to… Much prefer the feel of graphite to steel. Am looking forward to hitting my 18* once I get back and the temp gets above freezing... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supo Posted January 31, 2013 Report Share Posted January 31, 2013 got both.... ive got a few adams supperblack with a stinger,, roddio w8wa and diamana thump.. and a cpl of tour edge exotics with crazy ute and all my eggs with ns 950. i prefer to hit the shorter length of steel it goes higher and is MUCH easier to hit, t but unquestionably the carbon goes further. and lower and is a much stronger flight. depending on what loft i use but ill tend to go NS steel in 23* higher, its easy and lands soft as a feather.

Spoon Posted January 31, 2013 Report Share Posted January 31, 2013 Nspro 850 in mine. Light and very stable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blader-X Posted January 31, 2013 Report Share Posted January 31, 2013 C, I tried to go the steel route but have always found the graphite to be much better for me in terms of flight and feel for the utes. I really wanted to like steel in the utes but just can't seem to get that great of feel from them. I highly recommend the SF line from GD as you mentioned. My RC has the SF8 in x and its absolutely perfect in there. Shots are hit on a rope. No ballooning whatsoever. This club hasn't ever let me down once. I do attribute much of that to the shaft. The SF is much better than say the old UT line they used to have. I know its made for a fairway wood but in a ute, its awesome. B Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
