[MattyB051]

Driver: Ping i20 9.5*

Shaft: see below

Avg distance: 285-300 (Thin Colorado air!)

Mid to high trajectory

No shaft I've ever hit has compared...

Low hcp that would love to test and provide feedback

 

Been gaming this one a LONG time. Originally in a Taylormade R580XD 9.5* and now in a Ping i20 9.5*. Never really narrowed down what the shaft actually is, thinking its a blue board... Any help guys?

[Colby327]

Ping G30 LS Tec

Graphite Design Tour AD DI 6x

Current ball flight is spraying it both ways, but probably more fades than draws

Distance = 260 yards

Not happy at all with the current shaft. Thinking of moving to 70 gram stiff flex options.

Yes, I agree to test, review, and participate in any thread.

 

Thanks!

• What's the current driver model you're playing? Titleist 915 D4
  
• What shaft are you gaming? (mfgr, model, flex, weight, tipping) Aldila Rogue 125 70TX. Play 45 and is not tipped.
  
• What's your current ballfilight? Mid
  
• Average driving distance? 305, Colorado air, 12 degree with 2100 rpm
  
• Are you happy with this current shaft? Yes, I like the low torque because I feel I have good control. My miss is a low pull draw which can be dangerously bad. As a higher swing speed player I prefer shafts that feel boardy to most. Fitter says he would like to see me with a shaft that has a stiffer mid section. I like something that won't release early. I load the shaft twice (transition and late). Shaft has to be able to recover from early loading so I can feel where the face is relative to path at the bottom. I also prefer a D3 swing weight with a 205g head (70 or 80 gram seems to get me in this window).
  
• If chosen with you agree to test the new shaft and participate in an ongoing review thread with other GolfWRX members? Yes, I can/will communicate feel, control, launch data comparison, and love testing new/different equipment to bring more knowledge of pros and cons of different shaft options. I also get feedback from my golf friends as they load shafts differently than myself. This information has helped many I talk to about shaft options and I'd like to increase the knowledge of GolfWRX as much as I can contribute.

[mtg6193]

• Cobra F6+, set to 11.5 degrees of loft.
  
• Project X HZRDUS 6.0 62 gram, plays 45" installed.
  
• Mid-high ball flight
  
• 285-290 yards average distance
  
• Overall, I am happy, but I'm accustomed to a heavier driver shaft (70 gram range) so would like to try something heavier.
  
• I absolutely agree to test whatever shaft you send me and will write a very thorough review.
