The head and shaft have little to nothing to do with each other. That is such a common question I get = What shaft is good for this head? That is not the way I suggest thinking about it. Its what head and shaft and specs have characteristics that minimize my faults and improve on my strengths. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supo Posted November 7, 2017 Report Share Posted November 7, 2017 (edited) AND.. very important ......, what head shape do you like to view.... if u don't like the look of the head ur never going to have maximum confidence in that driver especially when the pressure gets ramped up.. try driving when ur 1 up on the 15th/16th with 4 double presees on the board with a driver ur not overly at home with....... it aint pretty more often that not !! .Just an aside........, the ONE true driver head that I just cant ever get rid of, and have still got even tho its not long is the t.t.t..t.t.t.ayla m.m.m.m.m.made... tp burner form 2009...... yup 2009, NO-ONE has made a driver head since that can beat that for arrow like performance for me. No one not jbeam, not prgr , not even ryoma,.(.well maybe ryoma) but nothing is close to how that thing looks easy to hit to me in my hands I stuck a 100 gram bimatirx blue X shaft in it @ 44 inch and it lives on the links when its comp time , and especially when its windy I don't bother with anything else. bec I know where just about every ball is going . its prob the shortest distance driver ive owned. but wow is it a thing of beauty in my bag when the score counts! go for looks at address as much.. no... WAY more so than any of the pretty face matereials and hype on the latest and greatest. get a head that looks good. hmmm sounds like advice on birds too.........................., Edited November 7, 2017 by supo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henry Posted November 7, 2017 Author Report Share Posted November 7, 2017 Completely agree..... you need to like the head and shape of the driver first. For me, I don't like a driver that has a high back end. I am more of a sloping down back end (ie Ping, VG3). I will always choose that first, then I try to find a shaft to match. If someone says this is the "best driver ever", if it does not meet my aesthetic requirements, I wont even consider it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
