Mjr. D Posted May 17, 2013 Report Share Posted May 17, 2013 So I've always had an all J-spec bag but something came across me recently, something diabolical, something crazy... and I purchased the Callaway Razr-Fit and Nike Covert Tour drivers. I think they're both great. However, they're both not japanese (double negative) and I'm starting to feel withdraw by not feeding my sickness. So ya, my bag looks and plays fantastic except for those two zits sitting in there. Therefore I ask... who can recommend me a new Jspec driver and shaft? As per usual, I need lowest possible spin, with low launch, neutral face, 8.5* loft. I don't mind less than 460CCs but obviously more forgiveness is nice to have. Distance is also nice to have. Feel is nice to have. Adjustability I like. I have the Egg-7 and it's great except that the face is slightly closed (I wasn't aware of this when I ordered it and I hit hooks with it) and the feel is meh Right now I'm thinking one of these. 2013 Tourstage drivers, Ryoma Maxima Type V The new The new Kamui Pro KP-X Kamui Aero As for shafts, I have no idea. I have a Diamana X and it's bloody fantastic. It's not going anywhere. Is there any other new shaft from anyone I should consider? Super low spin and launch. Please help me out guys, if you can. Much appreciated!! Rob. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wmclarenf1 Posted May 17, 2013 Report Share Posted May 17, 2013 From what I read of your swing speed and from your list, I would think the Kamui Pro will be ok for you. I would also try the new JBeam 435R and the Maxima as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mjr. D Posted May 17, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 17, 2013 Thanks guys. I'm thinking either the Kamui or Tourstage and then the Maxima. What about shafts? Haven't heard much about shafts recently... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supo Posted May 17, 2013 Report Share Posted May 17, 2013 diamana X .. 78 t. impossible u wont like how it performs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mjr. D Posted May 17, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 17, 2013 I have it. Best shaft I've ever used. Better even than the P9003X. What about these new Crazy Black by Labomba shaft? High torque and only 40T carbon but supposedly for aggressive swings... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimmieboi Posted May 17, 2013 Report Share Posted May 17, 2013 (edited) I like the Diamana X too. One of my fav shaft. Bangvoo 787 is also nice, it's a 70T shaft and you can literally feel a kick when you strike on the ball. BUT now my most fav shaft is Crazy Boron. Super easy to launch with low spin. It's the farthest shaft for me right now. I would recommend you to get Maxima Type V when TSG offer it in the pro shop. Today, I played in a tournament and avg 310 yrds with this driver. There was one par 4 hole 337 yards and I carry ball to the pin. It's that long and easy to hit when super roll. Get it and you will love it even if you shaft with Diamana X, it should be great too. I won a trophy too and my strength today is Driver...never miss a single fairway (just one in water hazard 'cuz it roll to the end of fairway!!).

RIduffer Posted May 17, 2013 Report Share Posted May 17, 2013 Crazy Black Tour is a great shaft. Have the Proto version of in the Epon 380 and am getting the Tour in the S-Yard XV soon. Have a Diamana X, not my favorite or I just haven't found the head for it yet... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+TourSpecGolfer Posted May 17, 2013 Report Share Posted May 17, 2013 Playing Crazy Boron in my 388 and loving it. The combo of the 9.5 loft and the higher launching shaft has given me about 5-10yds carry over stock. Roll is about the same to a little less on the LM but it's a net gain overall. The Boron you can feel kick, It's got good weight to it and feels amazing. It's a very good shaft, one I should have looked at sooner. If your looking for higher launching I suggest it. 5 rounds in and no surprises. The new Crazy Black Tour 65 is in my XV. Not the best shaft for me, Thinking of going with the Deep Impact Royal Deco. I hit some of my longest drivers with this setup but faded a bit more than I would have liked. It also feels stiffer. Tatsuro did very well with this shaft, He could only hit it straight. This lowered his flight over the stock shaft and gave him +9yds roll on average more and +4yds carry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
