"Smoothest" driver/fairway wood shafts you've played


Laznasty

Recommended Posts

Oban Devotion 5 O3 is the smoothest I've ever played by far. So much so that I'm looking for its nearest (hopefully cheaper) equivalent in fairway wood or hybrid for my two hybrids.

Driver: Honma TW747 10.5*

Fairways: Honma TW747 15* / 18*
Hybrids: Honma TW747 22* / 25*
Irons: Honma TW-X 6-11

Wedges: Honma TW-W4 54* / 58*
Putter: TaylorMade TP Collection Juno (33”)

Ball: Callaway Chrome Soft (2020)

S300

Huh? S300? Okay :-0
[/quote]

Why is that so hard to swallow?

The only reason graphite came out was to maintain stiffness in lighter weights, not because S300 wasnt smooth enough

Title of this tread is SMOOTHEST shaft. I don't think S300 is smooth.

Smooth is feel and feel is subjective. Like looks.

Yes u r right. Feel is very subjective. So I can assume that S300 shaft is "Smoothest driver/fairway wood shafts you've played"

If that's the case great.

So if that is the case, great, then why the snide attitude towards someone who holds that opinion, it's childish

Look buddy, If I wanted / meant to say "yeah right". I would have said that. I was simply surprised that S300 shaft was the SMOOTHEST SHAFT a person ever played on their driver/fairway wood. Its not very common that a person says that or this is the first. U were the one that was being snide and smartass telling me why I could NOT swallow s300 being smoothest shaft and started to give me a lecture about history of the shaft. U don't have to tell me. I am old enough to know. Than u started to tell me that this tread was not about "what JS-Golf thinks and started to be a SMARTASS and CHILDISH and something about graphite shaft in my irons. By the way, nothing wrong with graphite shaft in irons even though I don't play graphite in my irons.

People can have different opinions and don't have to swallow want others think. That's why we have a forum and discuss opinions and thoughts. What's the point of having a forum/tread like this if you can speak ur own opinion with out being ATTACKED.

You need to start respecting others peoples opinion as is and stop attacking them just because they don't agree with you or Can't Swallow What You think.

Sorry to highjack the tread guys.

End of discussion!!!

Then maybe your choice of words and emoticons should be a little better and clearer to your meaning.

I said S300 and your response was "[color=#282828][size=3][background=rgb(247, 247, 247)]Huh? S300? Ok? :-0" [/background][/size][/color]

If you were "intrigued and surprised" than use your words and say so...... because "Huh? S300? Ok?" came across ignorant at best. Then your follow ups made it worse.


I need to start respecting others opinion? Who commented on whos post again? When at anytime did I comment on an other persons post about them liking graphite? You are the one who commented, again very unclearly, about me preferring S300.

We will have to chalk this up to a misunderstanding between us.

But if you say that "If I wanted to say Yeah Right, I would have said it.........." Maybe you have said what you wanted to say in the first place, because, "Huh?S300?Okay? :-0" doesnt translate to "Thats interesting, I have never know someone to prefer S300 over graphite"

Did I say it was the smoothest I've played? Nope. I simply commented on it being smooth after you mentioned that you didn't think so. Just a difference of opinion. I find a lot of the other shafts listed here smooth as well. Just not "smoothest" to me.

Just put a Grafalloy Blue in my R1 and the thing is awesome. So buttery.
[/quote]

The Blue is a great shaft. But it may be one of the last shafts I would expect to see pop up in this thread.
[/quote]

Interesting. Why? I thought the thing felt so smooth it was ridiculous.

swinging this shaft is like swinging rebar.

To me, smooth = too soft.
[/quote]

I agree. I don't want a shaft to feel smooth, that feels like dead left to me. Probably why the Graf Blue is in my driver.

I have an AD-DI which is probably the smoothest I've ever swung. Didn't like it, but still smooth.

MFS Matrix. Putting one in my 4w as soon as the head gets here. This was their first full Zylon shaft and man is it smooth. Trying my hardest to find another to put in a driver, but looks like it may get a 65p Orange Crush instead.
