I have 5 rounds in with the Chrome.

Absolutely love the feel!

What flex and weight? What head?

6 TX (Tour X) in a Covert Performance.

I have never felt a shaft that felt so smooth yet so stable. Usually it is one or the other.

Thanks, sounds great. Good distance and dispersion?

Picked up 2 mph ballspeed and spin is lower than VTS Black. Had to go up in loft!

Does anyone have any experience with both the Kiyoshi purple and this shaft ? I really love the looks and want to give this one a run. I am currently hitting the 65/05 purple. Thanks

I'd love to know as well. Very curious about this shaft...

[mattjud]

This shaft is really good. I've never tried the purple but have the chrome in SLDR and my 3 wood.

I played the purple for a year in an i20, and now have 15 rounds in with the Chrome.

In between, I played a half season with the white and a half season with the VTS Black.

In short, if you like the feel of the purple, you will love the Chrome.

The Chrome is easier to load, has equal kick, launches the same with much less spin.

I love Kiyoshi's. But the Chrome is even better, IMO. Unless you are e very low spin player. If so, the Purple will give you the spin you need

[/quote] Thanks for the info. What weight do you swing in the chrome. Just curious if I should stay close to what I swing in the purple.

[scottvw13]

60's in both.

[Vicious13]

Perfect. Thanks

[mattjud]

60 in driver and 70 in fwy.

[cz13X4]

comparisons to the speeder ts 6.3? I loved my kiyoshi black until I hit the 6.3 ts which I am now in love with but I love the recoils so thought this might be nice..

Bumping this topic up as I have a SLDR with a TS 60 on the way from Will People. Any other opinions?

I hope you are a high spin player because that is one low spin combo!

I had to increase the loft of my driver after switching from the VTS Black to the chrome.

That said, I love this shaft!

Coming from a 8.5* 913D3 with a Fuji 7.2 TS should show how high spin/high launch I am. So yes, VERY, high spin/launch.

I got the same set up. I'm received my 9.5 Tour Issue SLDR from Will Peoples a couple of days ago. It's paired up with the Chrome 6 TS tipped an inch. The shaft was built by Bobby over at UST. I took it out yesterday. I was really impressed with the shaft. its very smooth and has an amazing kick. has a stronger ball flight than my stock tp shaft and Speeder 661.

[tbowles411]

I thought that this was going to be made in a higher launching version? Any truth to my "maybe flawed" info?

Have you ever hit a Diamana Kaili? If so how would you compare it? The shaft sounds quite interesting.

I would say that the Chrome feels similar to the Kaili but spins less and launches a tad lower. Chrome is more stable as well

Scott, do you go with thte TS or TX at your 100-103 SS? Sorry, you mentioned both in this thread. Just wondering which is a typo, since I have about the same SS with a moderate transition. Thanks!

[pleepers303]

Any more updates?

Tour stiff tipped a half

[jay65]

My Kiyoshi White isn't performing for me. Could be just 'rust' after a long golfless winter, but it's feeling pretty stout in an 04 Flex, so much so, I'm losing my tempo a little because I'm probably trying to swing a little too hard to account for the over stout feel of the shaft.

Just wondered if the 'Chrome' may have a slightly smoother feel in comparison to the Kiyoshi White 04?

[peakposition]

looking forward to mine. Ordered a 75 F5T in a SLDR 430 12* from will. lets see what it will bring!

[jay65]

Yeah, that helps, cheers! Lol.

[Brettasaurus]

I have an Elements Chrome that I threw in my 913D2 to try this weekend. My club guy tipped it 1/2" but says it still felt soft to him. I've been playing a Fuel TS 60 (tipped 1/2") for awhile and the Chrome will have to be really good to beat it out.

I guess that's all relative really. Just depends what your Club fit guy means by 'soft'. Soft compared to a Fuji 8.2 X Flex? Or soft compared to an Ilima 60 R flex.

Anyone tried the Kiyoshi White and can comment on how the 'Elements Chrome' feels in comparison to it?
