sbeaz Posted August 4, 2014 Report Share Posted August 4, 2014 Went with the XDB in the 535 head (10*) and absolutely love it. Like driverhead commented, it is long. I was very surprised at the consistency. Several times I loaded up a couple of balls and on 3 occasions, the balls were within 10 feet of each other. Not 10 yards, 10 feet. Shaft kicks great for me. I'd had some issues with low-mid kick JDM shafts, but this is much better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
14stix Posted September 25, 2014 Report Share Posted September 25, 2014 Paired a XDB 55R shaft with a Ryoma 11.5* for max carry driver. The club works like a charm, nice kick, loads of carry with some roll out. Occasionally goes left if I step on it too much, but the combo of the shaft and heads makes this an easy, no-sweat fairway finder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr.haha Posted September 25, 2014 Report Share Posted September 25, 2014 Great, I can finally chime in on this shaft. setup: Muso XDB Stiff 45.5" T388 9.5 D2 vs Quadra TPV Fire SX 45.5" T388 D2 yes i have two T388 heads mainly because they are absolutely amazing. I brought both of these drivers to Hawaii with the intent to test them on the range and course. Thoughts: The Muso is a good shaft and felt lighter than the Quadra. I also felt the bend point on the downswing was more in the middle of the shaft whereas the bend point in the Quadra was more towards the tip. This could be that the Quadra is a tad bit stiffer than the Muso. Ball flight on the range between the two shafts were pretty similar. In general i have a high ball flight with a miss to the right which is typically a block. I can get too long on my back swing with a definite over parallel at the top. this causes me to either hit high blocks or dead pulls/hooks with the blocks occuring more often. the muso due to its flex forced me to swing slower on the downswing. i have a quiet and slow take away but really accelerate on the downswing. the Muso lacked control and stability on the downswing whereas the quadra was far more stable. i slowed my downswing and the muso worked pretty well with similar trajectory to the quadra- med trajectory. maybe this is the benefit of the muso, it will keep my swing more in tempo but i can say for certainty i will not be able to go after the ball with this shaft. It simply made my errors even worse and imparted more side spin that i would have liked when fully accelerating on the downswing i think ill hit the muso a little more in Maui but right now the quadra is staying the bag. perhaps i need to go with the X muso instead of the S.
