Tour Edge Exotic XCG5 Tour AD 40

sung1018 · July 17, 2012

After couple of days of reading about 4w replacement for my 3w/5w, i noticed alot of ppl mentioning TEE woods. So I further my researched and read more about the TEE woods. Only read high recommendation for these wood. So I went to my local golfsmith which carried the TEE woods. They had the XCG5 in Fuji Blur in stiff. After about 50 swings i am kind of on the TEE boat now.

Little info about me. 15hc and my driver swing speed is 95-100 mph, smooth tempo. Currently using Titleist 909D2 with mft bb stiff. This shaft works great for me. Currently bombing my drives 260-270 yards. My 3w works well too. somewheres 240 yardish.

The golfsmith i went to didn't have many options on demoing different shaft. The shaft spec on my 3wood is compare to Fuji Blur Reg flex. However, i noticed the Tour AD shafts. Much lighter shaft with same torque spec as Fuji Blur Reg shaft.

My question regarding the Tour AD40 shaft is....

1) What type of swing characteristic is suitable for this shaft?

2) What is the advantage and disadvantage of the lighter shaft?

3) Will this shaft work for someone with a mid 90's driver swing?

Definitely TEE XCG5 will be my next club in the bag? However, i am just wondering if i can take an advantage of the lighter shaft.

I demoed the 3 wood with a stiff Blur and ended up buying the stiff Tour AD since I thought I needed a higher launch.
The launch monitor I was getting a higher launch, faster swing speed and more distance. At the range today I saw the higher launch and thought there was more spin. I have only a 91 ss however produce a higher spin and therefore need the stiff.
The course tomorrow should tell more.

Sung;
Have you bought the XCG5? I'm liking the Tour AD for my swing. I'm not sure it is quite as tight as the Blur shaft; however it gives me a little more height and distance.
I don't think you could go wrong with either shaft since you have a little higher swing speed than me.
