Want to Experiment with Older Shafts and Older Heads

[TheCompleteHacker]

This is totally out of place, but I haven't yet hit the 75 post minimum requirement to post in the BST Forum.

 

 

Anyway, after many a dismal rounds throughout the winter, that saw scores as high as 110, I finally got the driver working again and the scores are coming down.

 

I saw the Chiropractor on Friday for a spine adjustment, picked up the older (2009) Adams 9032LS in 10.5 on Saturday, and shot my low of the season 88 on Sunday. I see further improvements coming as my mechanics become better and more consistent... So now Im wanting to do some experimenting with some driver and shaft combos.

 

The 9032, while it's supposed to be a "Low Spin" head, ended up ballooning far too much, and was getting minimal rollout in wet conditions. So, Im wanting to swap the R flex 60g shaft for a S flex in the 70g (or close to) family. Thinking about this and looking at older shafts that are still highly revered got me thinking about other combinations I might want to try (like a low loft, mid launch setup.)

 

Was just wondering if any of you fine gentlemen might have some of this older tech equipment sitting around that you'd let go of relatively cheap. I'm not looking for give me's but Im trying to source heads in the $30.00 or less category and shafts in the $20.00 or less range. I was wondering if any of you might have some of this in the closet collecting dust, maybe because you thought they weren't worth listing for sell.

 

Things Im interested in:

 

Heads:

Adams 9032LD (7.5 or 8.5), 9064LS (8.5 or 9.5), 9064LD (7.5) Launch Lab in 8.0 (passed one up on Saturday for $30, wish I hadn't.)

Callaway X-Hot LD (7.0), X-hot Pro (7.5 or 8.5), X2 Hot Pro (8.5)

Titleist 910D3 (8.5) or D2 (7.5 or 8.5) or maybe even 913D3 or D2 in these lofts.

 

Shafts:

Aldila Voodoo SNV6 or 7 or SVS7 or XPP6

older NV in 75S or 85S...even if labeled for another company.

R&D Proto or other older Prototypes in 70 - 80 range S or maybe even 60g X

 

UST:

Proforce V2

VTS Silver

 

Diamana:

1st Gen Blueboards

B-Series

BF-Series

S+ Series

 

Matrix:

Red Tie 7Q3 or 70Q4

 

Fujikura:

older Speeder series or if you pulled a Speeder 757 out of something it came stock in.

Fuel

Fit On e370 or e380 or Max

 

Graphite Design:

Tour AD YSQ 70S

YS-Seven

YS-7+ or YS-7

 

Just anything that our modern (buy new clubs every season) counterparts on the site might consider "Old Tech".

 

The general idea so far is low loft (7.5 or 8.5) with mid/high launch shafts, or higher launching 8.5 or 9.5 heads (CG back) with mid or low/mid launch shafts.

 

Just send me a PM if you have anything you think I might be interested, and then we can further discuss things from there.
