Posted January 16, 201411 yr comment_219397 ryoma di 9.5 * 45 inch 316 gram d2ish had this built mid year on a reco form a member here that the shaft is first class but mighty strong well he cundt have put it nay better the type 6x i was thinking might be a bit on the softer lighter side than i wud like to play but after 2 weeks with it at hime ive found it to be in fact one hell of a pices of carbon mudule mumle swerve construct. did i say low? oh bother where art thou. this thing is unbleievebaly low and striaight i played this as a 2 ball driver bag wit hthe other ryoma and the P9003x which is just an out and out legend of a shaft for those that like the beef. the weight diffwas huge abd the flight diff was huge while the 9003x is a high launch ultra heave stable shaft, the z9003x is low. seriously low. the weight diff was hard to adjust to as was the eincresed length form 44.25 to 45 i found myself choking dow na lot nad that leands to hooks so i had to just get a bit more supple and play it normally and it was ooooldes better. i played it a cpl of times in comp and found it pretty perfect for the conditions , id just wish it was heavier and shorter like the p9 build. it was too much to play both together. had to think too much. not good.... but when i played it one driver only and just swung away i found its stability was on the verge of too soft, it wasnt.................... but in comp to the p9 there was a big differnce. the type 7s.. now thats prob the answer id think bec its noticeably tighter than the p9 wit hthe new materials id think. and its WAY lower. if ur after a shaft for serious low launch then look no further seiosuly this is THE shaft for that. the combo wa spot on as well perfect match they now live in sydney. both of them next shaft is the z9903 type 7s. really liking this line. but the P9 is still the king
January 16, 201411 yr Author comment_219404 hi mate.. id tink u wud like, nad need the Z9 its a lot lower than the P9. its got a much differnt feel its tighter weave and more electric. nad the one i had isnt qutie perfect. i htink i cud (and will) go the next step up and play it short. i realy think this is hell of a shaft
January 16, 201411 yr comment_219418 Glad to hear you got on with the Z, Stew. I'm loving my Z's. Got a Type 6s in the S-Yard driver (10deg) and its a bullet. Have another 3 wood, the Romaro-R in 13.5deg with a Z Type 7s. This 3 wood is long and mean with a trajectory that is spot on to boot. In fact is so good I can't choose between it or the legendary RC listed in my bag below. As a few know around here the P9 is shaft that I've often claimed seemed to be made just for me. I've loved it forever and gamed it in many a combinations. However, if I had to choose, I'd say I would take the Z over the P9. What distinguishes the Z over the P9 is that its more versatile in terms of the different shaft flexes and profiles that are offered Remember the P9 came only in X and at 80gm. It was one choice and one choice only. The Z comes in 3 different weights and a few different flexes. To answer Mjr D's question I would say the Z has less spin than the P9 just from what I've experienced. I can't back it up with numbers but I've hit it enough. The Z is just the next step in the evolution of this shaft (the P9). The P9 is still very good, don't get me wrong, but if I had to choose, it would be the Z.
January 17, 201411 yr Author comment_219435 excellent, thats what im expecting (hoping) with the new type 7s
January 17, 201411 yr comment_219444 i am playing a Diamana 3d gen W series 7s in my driver, what to get in the Z 7S OR 6S?
February 6, 201411 yr comment_220616 Z 7s id think. Followed your advice mate. Just built my syard with the type 7s. Hope it works out
February 7, 201411 yr Author comment_220637 well u know theres a buyer for it .. ill be its LOW , very very straight, and will run like usain
February 7, 201411 yr comment_220639 well u know theres a buyer for it .. ill be its LOW , very very straight, and will run like usain well thats what they said about the W series 3d gen and it was not low at all. hoping that this one fits the description. this will be in the T388 which is already lower launching so a bit nervous and excited at the same time.
February 7, 201411 yr comment_220662 not as low as i thought but still lower than any combo i have owned. but low is relative imho and was still hitting high carry balls BUT with a meaner flatter trajectory that was ideal for generous roll out. my mistake was building it at 45.25 have cut it today to 44.75 for control. its pretty long with the t388 head. very very impressed. actually i can't tell the difference between this and the p9 except for the tightness. flights seem the same, weights 3 grams off but flights with these hate to go left and bad swings will go righty! loving it. aint as low as i thought. definitely bringing this one to a tight course vs the 3D gen whitey bar none.
February 8, 201410 yr Author comment_220693 Excellent build cutting it down will make it better for sure
February 9, 201410 yr comment_220727 Normal shot is a baby fade. More pronouced with this combo And badshot overcooked fade.. Shaft or head? Shorter lenhth has made it more consistent but need more time. I like the shaft a lot. Head is ok, not used to the feel. Love the look And smaller size.
February 10, 201410 yr Author comment_220761 it shud grow on you ifu dont keep swaping it about. you def. need to give the samlelr head time for ur eye to adjust from the 460cc heads.
