38 posters (one didn't actually state his distance) puts the running average to this point at 265.9 yards. Congratulations WRX, you are actually just regular folk. Then again I've had a few beers and might of fat fingered the calculator. :to_become_senile: We may need a re-count.

[Boogs2]

Current Driver: Nike Vapor Speed TW

Shaft: Diamana Blueboard 73g stiff flex. (not sure about tipping, but everything is stock)

Ballflight: Mid/High

Avg. Distance: 240-250

I am happy with this shaft.

I agree to participate in an ongoing review thread with other members.

 

I have a backup of the Vapor Speed TW so I will install the mystery shaft and try to get the same specs as close as possible with the help of my club builder.

 

Thanks
