nobmontana Posted October 30, 2015 Report Share Posted October 30, 2015 (edited) Currently have a 7D shaft with a Grandista Ver. S head on it. My 7D shaft was spcifically designed around this Grandista Ver. S . Going into off season, I am thinking about possibly trying the Epon AF105 head with this shaft. The new Epon head seems to be getting a lot of good reviews since the release earlier this month. Just want to hear what the experiences are in trying different heads on a 7D shaft that was designed around a specific head in mind. And what was the outcome.... I know I was warned at the time of my 7D purchase that I should be choosing a head that I really like ( i.e. and keep for a long time ) But really, as big of a club ho I am. how can I ever rely on my impulsive instincts? :) I am actually surprised that I have not swapped the head already!! If this was not a 7D shaft,, I would be on trial head No. 3 or 4 by now. I am always curious to know how different combos of shafts & heads work for me.

+TourSpecGolfer Posted October 30, 2015 Report Share Posted October 30, 2015 You should try it you can always put it back in the Ver.S when done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RLL33 Posted October 30, 2015 Report Share Posted October 30, 2015 Good question. I haven't tried that yet, but I have a Zero Kai head sitting here jealously eyeing the 7D on the t388 in the corner bag... <g> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbie Posted October 30, 2015 Report Share Posted October 30, 2015 I have swapped a 7D control and a 7D standard out of 435 Black heads into ZY11 heads and they work great !!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mpbachman Posted October 30, 2015 Report Share Posted October 30, 2015 Ditto. I have swapped and played different versions and even have a 7D Distance in a Modart DS head versus a Modart D head (yes, similar but not exact) as we speak. I say go for it. As Chris said, you can always go back ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vegaman Posted October 30, 2015 Report Share Posted October 30, 2015 How about durability? Are the 7D shafts super thin walled, especially in the tip, like the Crazy shafts or thicker walled like most other shafts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbie Posted October 31, 2015 Report Share Posted October 31, 2015 Crazy Shafts are surprisingly thin at the tip, but the 7D shafts that i have used are normal tip wall thickness. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nobmontana Posted October 31, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 31, 2015 Thanks for all the feedback and information guys. very helpful!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mpbachman Posted October 31, 2015 Report Share Posted October 31, 2015 Do it!!!! (and report back :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vegaman Posted October 31, 2015 Report Share Posted October 31, 2015 Crazy Shafts are surprisingly thin at the tip, but the 7D shafts that i have used are normal tip wall thickness. Ok, good to know. Yeah, the Crazy shafts are very thin making me wary of pulling a Crazy shaft more than once or twice. The 7D should be fine for multiple pulls then.

cuistot Posted October 31, 2015 Report Share Posted October 31, 2015 Nope, your coach and trainer should remind you not to be messing about until healed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mob Posted October 31, 2015 Report Share Posted October 31, 2015 I would think if the head weights are pretty similar, changing heads shouldn't play dramatically different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nobmontana Posted November 1, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 1, 2015 well, even if the weight is the same, I was thinking the weight distribution of the head will possibly make the shaft react a bit different. and spin and launch characteristics of the heads would likely be different as well. I was told 7 D measures each head in detail to optimize the shaft design specifially for each head. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nobmontana Posted November 1, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 1, 2015 Stay healthy nobsan, yours is the closest true ho's postal code to mine haaa! Actually thinking about moving out to your vicinity possibly by next Summer. An Asian family living in Montana has had its challenges... beautiful scenery, great outdoors and all but no real asian food, 2 local public golf courses and only 6 months of golf during the year. When I do move out there, we can start building out Northwest headquarters of JDM Ho's:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
