Posted March 31, 201311 yr Hi guys, I hit 2 clubs as configuration below at the same time - same heads but different loft - at about the same distance. Which shaft should I go for if based on below info only? Shaft#1: EPON Personal 7i, 36* loft, 37.25", D1, 397g., higher ball flight Shaft#2: EPON Personal 7i, 34* loft, 36.5", D1, 401g., lower ball flight One shaft feels softer and easier to hit (for me) while the dispersion from both shafts are great. #1 = Aerotech i80R #2 = NSPro 750S Thanks, Mark
March 31, 201311 yr I guess that's and you ar bending the heads on the NS750s. My preference is a more piecing trajectory, but am guessing you don't generate heaps of spin so you'll end up with more roll out on the stronger lofts v I think all things considered I'd go shorter shaft stronger lofts.
April 1, 201311 yr Author The 34* is mine, and standard 36* one is demo club from the shop here Nope. Not too much spin. Roughly both clubs gave me about the same roll on yesterday range session. What tempt me is I felt softer and easier to launch on the Aerotech. If I put it to play 37" on my stronger loft Personal, I should gain some distance with more forgiveness plus softer feeling. Don't know why but with the same swing weight, I top the one in NSPro more. Any further thought on this - you and anyone? Thx. Mark
April 1, 201311 yr Author Saw a thread in WRX saying that 750 actually surprisingly got lower ball flight than that of 950/850. Kinda true for me. It says low kick but the ball flight is lower for me. Also lower than that from the i80 yesterday. I may go for i70 to ensure more distance from lighter club but maybe S flex to also ensure the dispersion. Bought one of i80 R to try only. No chance to try i70. What you guys think?

No chance to try i70. What you guys think? I've had the NS Pro 950 stiff hard-stepped and i95 stiff and the NS Pros still fly significantly higher. Not too sure if the 750s are lower flight than the 950s or not, but I'd be surprised if they end up lower than the Aerotechs, all things equal. Also, my general experience with Aerotechs (i95, i110 and the i80 in a utility) is that they tend to play rather stout across the board. If the i80 in R worked for you, I'd stick to the same flex in the i70. Just to throw a spanner in the works, have you tried the Recoils yet? So far, I've heard nothing but wonderful reviews about them and would probably have a go with them when the piggy bank replenishes. Edited April 1, 201311 yr by caddie123
April 1, 201311 yr I'd use the shaft that you can hit the best and most consistent. If that shaft feels the best and goes further too then that's a bonus. As I've tried the Quadra shafts before, I'd make f1 an offer on his Quadra and try those out :)
April 1, 201311 yr Author My fitter also told me if I tested i80 and like, better buy this one. I bought each of Recoil 660 and Recoil Prototype 95 to try. Let say my swing fits much more with the Aerotech. Actually I surprisingly found i80 dispersion is a bit better than that of NSPro 750. For the ball flight, it may be 2* loft different of the clubs. On Aerotech website, they say to trim 7iron 2.5". Does it mean to get the real flex, we play 7i at 38.5"? Can't be. Someone enlightens me pls. Yes, Ian. Make him an offer! Mark
