Posted March 19, 201410 yr I went to E watts yesterday to check my combo on the sim and to compare it to stock offerings. First I realize that even a $45000 simulator is not like a track man in terms of accuracy. I also wanted to hit the US sldr 460 and 430 driver. I tried both with the stock taylormade shaft. Spin was 3600 to 3800 rpms at a Swing speed of 107 to 108. Now bear in mind these offerings are rumored to be spin killers. Both heads had a decent feel and OK distance. So I try a Quadra LD60 on both heads. Spin dropped to 2400 to 2600 instantly. Never tell me that the shaft is not a Major part of any club. On a side note the 460 version was as long as my 2014 Gloire with the quadra shaft. That was a bummer but the feel and forgiveness of the Gloire is unmatched. I guess in the end that is what I really paid for. Well and the excellent craftsmanship and cool head cover. I game this shaft this weekend and hopefully I will know if it is a keeper but yesterday did prove that the shaft does reduce spin big time. Now if I could only demo a GD MT6 before making a purchase. That is the only other shaft that is rumored to be a perfect fit for this head.
March 20, 201410 yr Thumbs up Robb. Great info there with LD60. Very helpful hitting on same head backed up with data. Hows the stability/dispersion?
March 20, 201410 yr thats great to find out , as ive wanted to know a bit about that quadra as soon as i hit the diamana X on trackman at the golf show last year and it was 2500 or something the like in a nepon driver , i knew id found my suitor

IMO the LD is the lower spin of the two. I don't have #'s but I'd be willing to bet somewhere around 500+ more with the MT. Granted the LD was a bit more "stiff" then the MT flex for flex but you could tell by ball flight there is a difference. For ME: The difference in forgiveness between the sldr and the Gloire are significant with the Gloire being much more forgiving. As crazy as it sounds I swear a couple of my mis hits have been my longest drives. I also have no trouble working the ball with the Gloire. . Edited March 20, 201410 yr by idrive
