June 6, 200420 yr comment_42429 MCC/Apache shafts I don't know the model on his driver but his irons are the MFS 115. I have the 58+ on my RACs and love the shaft.

June 7, 200420 yr comment_42581 Thats one short driver - is that the shortest on Tour? 43.5" I have heard of with steel, but not like that.

June 7, 200420 yr comment_42612 my 510 Df is 1/4 inch longer w/a Fuji Proto 70X shaft and I found what Choi has, very little distance loss and absolute control. Probably the one most significant positive change in my game ever.
June 8, 200420 yr comment_42707 I just had the MFS 115's put on my Tourstage TS 202's, and they are truly outstanding. I sent Keith at MisterOz golf an 8 iron with a Dynamic Golf S-300 and asked him to replicate the flex and swingweight as closely as possible, since I was hitting it very accurately but wanted graphite to decrease the long term wear and tear on my elbows and wrists. He ended up using X-3 stiffness, tipped, but did an outstanding job in reproducing the control and accuracy of the DG's, while the Apaches just feel much sweeter and livelier. I've had GAT 95's on MacGregor 1025 C's and GAT 115's on wedges, but these Apaches just feel crisper and smoother, without the slightest loss of accuracy. These shafts are fabulous, if you are willing to spring for the extra $$$ for top quality graphite.
June 8, 200420 yr comment_42740 Thats one short driver - is that the shortest on Tour? 43.5" I have heard of with steel, but not like that. As far as I know, it's the shortest stick on a driver being hit by a PGA professional right now.
June 8, 200420 yr comment_42775 I have the Apache 75 MFS on my Nakashima 420 driver at 44", and I'm hitting it at least as far as any 45" or 46" shaft I've ever used, plus getting better control. Longer shafts don't necessarily guarantee longer drives; the opposite can be true (within limits, obviously) because of increased likelihood of hitting the sweet spot with a shorter, more controllable shaft.
June 8, 200420 yr comment_42795 Yeah I found that same solution - I cut down my old J from 45" to 44" and noticed I hit the ball more solid, drew it easier, hit more fairways, and did not give up a single yard!
