AKFLY Posted May 7, 2004 Report Share Posted May 7, 2004 I have one in my main driver but cannot afford on in the backup. What comes close out there ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted May 7, 2004 Report Share Posted May 7, 2004 I have one in my main driver but cannot afford on in the backup.What comes close out there ? I am very sorry to say AK that I don't know what a poor man 660 would be . Could barely afford the real thing in the first place . :!: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AKFLY Posted May 7, 2004 Author Report Share Posted May 7, 2004 Oh I know there is no substitue for the 660 - god forbid. So I am looking for a shaft that has the following characteristics: Weight 72-75 grams Torque 3.2 to 3.5 Flex Mid-High Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Posted May 7, 2004 Report Share Posted May 7, 2004 Or how about a Tour Release 36.6 . Yes it is 3.0 torque and weight in at 67 grams but it might work for you with the proper tipping . Or even one of the other Tour Release's .?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 27.3 should fit the bill. haribo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
golfdr Posted May 7, 2004 Report Share Posted May 7, 2004 I have never hit the 660, but the tour release is a very weak shaft. I would expect them to be very different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted May 7, 2004 Report Share Posted May 7, 2004 I have never hit the 660, but the tour release is a very weak shaft. I would expect them to be very different. That is why I said with the proper tipping . As you may have noticed I have a 660 in my driver . It is tipped 3/4" . The Tour Release in my 13* is tipped 1" and the one in my 17* is tipped 1 1/2" . So with the proper tipping it will work for you :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
golfdr Posted May 7, 2004 Report Share Posted May 7, 2004 Thanks - I have two friends that tried the release shafts and neither like them in a driver, I hit them and also thought that they were soft for flex. Tipping could change that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great shaft, but it will run you $90 just for the shaft. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
titanium Posted May 7, 2004 Report Share Posted May 7, 2004 About tipping, I've not much experience esp. Fuji which the official site don't recommend. What's the reason behind for not tipping? :roll: :?: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 7, 2004 Report Share Posted May 7, 2004 Vista Tour 70 maybe, but there is no poor man's 660, Looked for one for my back up also. Got a 553 coming instead? :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MIura5001 Posted May 8, 2004 Report Share Posted May 8, 2004 The closest shaft I've found to the 660TR in the value range is the Harmon CBX. It's a great shaft for the price, and very underrated. I received it in a 580 Tour so I don't know if the tour version is different from the retail. Just for reference, I've got the 660TR, 660TR Blue Streak, 693HK, 671TB, and 761TE all shafted in various tour heads, and my 580 Tour CBX combination is equal in feel and distance to the other combinations.
