Shimada help/input please

Hi guys,

I've been gaming c-taper regular for about 5 years.. Time for a change! My swingspeed with the driver is rougly 99 and 7 iron 83-85.. I'm changing my swing a lot to find something that works well and trying to get some more speed in it, therefore I'm looking for a shaft that I can grow with and improve my game over time, not straight away.

Where I live, there are not many custom fitting stations and the ones available does not offer many specific shafts..

I've tried: px 5.5 and 6.0, modus 120's, taylormade standards 95 grams, ping awt stiff and so on.. I kinda like the feel of the taylormade standards and the modus 120's.. Not sure if its due to the fact that they are not so stiff.. But maybe also because I like the feel of something smooth rather than boardy like the c-tapers...

The shimadas caught my interest.. They seem to be a shaft that is well-spoken of and even so, better than the nippons in terms of smoothness?

Im a 11 HCP and going downwards.. I'm aiming at changing my shafts for wedges + irons.. What would your suggestions be? I want to grow in them.. They do not have to fit me straight away but I rather have something that is a bit challenging and can be fun in the long run!

Any input is highly appreciated! :tsg_smiley_king:

hi..,

first shimada are a higher kick point so they wil lauch flat, like ur c-tapers so thats prob a good thing ur used to

they are smoother than c-tapers but not as much as NS pro.

they are an excelelnt choice for blades or players cavity.

they do not get tossed about in wind. nor lose distance thru ballooning

they are pretyt tight and striaght shooters.

the lighter 3001s might be a very nice shaft or the tour 125stiffs, dont like the 125 X they are pretty boardy

your Swing speed , no probs for either the 3001 or the 125s id think

I wondered how the Shimada Tour Lite plays please? Say compared to NS Pro 950. Will it launch lower but with the same feel in terms of kick? I don't like my iron shafts too stiff and boardy. Also has anyone played the Constant taper...what can I expect from that please?

Anyone knows if the Shimada K's tour plays stiffer than the Shimada tours? Are the k's 115 like the shimada tours and the Normal k's stiffer? Anyone tried them and know if there are any differences? =) Would you guys recommend the K's HW 120 wedge shafts?
