D22marshall Posted April 21, 2016 Report Share Posted April 21, 2016 What's been the most successful shaft option for p2 heads. I have had shimada tour lite s And Nippon 1150gh tours in X ATM Thinking of going back to a shimada 115s Anyone found a perfect match?

kaaayelll Posted April 21, 2016 Report Share Posted April 21, 2016 I know a few are liking Shimada Tours. I have one set with Tour Issue DG S200 CMT that I initially thought of pulling, but I'm finding in limited testing that it's a very good (albeit expensive) shaft.

Eca Posted April 21, 2016 Report Share Posted April 21, 2016 Monaco's x3.. baby blades came to life with them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mpbachman Posted April 21, 2016 Report Share Posted April 21, 2016 What type of profile do you like and how is your release? I think 130s or 125s would work very well in them (or SPB) if you have a mid to late release as well... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yubin89 Posted April 21, 2016 Report Share Posted April 21, 2016 Monacos! These shafts were pretty much designed for blade lovers to help enhance their shot trajectories. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D22marshall Posted April 21, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 21, 2016 (edited) I had sus with Monaco X SS twice and hated them but my mate got the heads and we fitted shimada tour lites into them and they feel so automatic now and perform perfectly. Tend to like a shaft you can lean on at impact. I have shimada wedge 120s in my wedges and find them great feel and performance Edited April 21, 2016 by D22marshall Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hardboiled Posted April 21, 2016 Report Share Posted April 21, 2016 SPB's should be good to lower the flight at bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wanting something round 110 115 finished weight stiffer tip soft butt for feel what's your thoughts Chris? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's been a long time since I've hit the Shimada range but the K's 115 sounds like an option. Modus 105's seem like a considertion except for the weight.

supo Posted April 21, 2016 Report Share Posted April 21, 2016 shimada 4001s im playing right now and rave about them 120 gram raw ;flight is mid feel is stiff but u hit into these they flat out perform, had them in my mirsiams now the 1008s , was ultra impressed by them get a 6 iron shaft to test. otherwise monaccos are made for epon heads Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hutch Posted April 22, 2016 Report Share Posted April 22, 2016 Shimada pro green label Dean. I would give those a go. I used and think they feel superb. But you know and love the mons so its a no brainer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spoon Posted April 22, 2016 Report Share Posted April 22, 2016 i am actually rebuilding my p2 with modus 105. i loved the ST very much so this will be a wonderful combo. maybe too light for you. monaco stiff straight up are ok too but find that I've lost interest with them ever since nippon varied there modus offerings. your mileage might vary. i suggest 125, shimada tour 120.

D22marshall Posted April 28, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2016 (edited) Ok shimada 115s are now in the p2s hitting 4 iron in the net these feel like what I want and love the feel of shimadas. Shimadas have a totally different feel to Nippons and Modus shafts. Shimada have a very stable tip to allow great feel of where the head is, where as nippons for me always want to shut and don't hold when you want them too. Anyway rambling on as we all know shafts can work and feel so much different from person to person and different heads also. Personally very happy I made the choice back to shimadas. Will post more after first Comp round. Also added a 3 iron 115s in my 901 19 and 22 Edited April 28, 2016 by D22marshall Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hutch Posted April 28, 2016 Report Share Posted April 28, 2016 Fantastic choice Deano, I know these will be perfect for the P2s....Listen to young beaver. Profiled, tested and highly recommended for P2s. That bit offset in the Epon blade line-up is set up perfectly for these shafts, as Supo said they may not work in a zero offset blades but we all know P2s are a different kinda beast, it is limited what you can use in the minimal offset blade category....For most of us mere mortals anyway. Pity the Kamakura hasn't turned up yet, that will be one sick bag of fighting irons Lookforward to the call on Sunday fella, expecting a +2 round ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D22marshall Posted April 28, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2016 Will try and do better but waiting for the Yamada is ☠ me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
