  • Please explain how you would approach testing this shaft - I would approach it as a direct competitor to my Kuro Kage XT 80TX. Would love to see if I can get my spin numbers any lower and would like a shaft that could be more workable. I would hit 15-20 balls on the launch monitor with my current set up and with the new shaft. Following that I would take it to the course to see how it really performs. Would be willing to write a summary of my experience and let you know feel/workability/aesthetics/etc.

Lucky that my home course demands that the ball work both ways and it's slow enough at times that I can l can hit several drives of each tee with the different shafts. Would also be happy to record a video and/or take a lot of pictures.

  • Please explain how you would approach testing this shaft. Since being in MN I don't have a lot of options for outdoor winter testing close to me. I would plan on doing some Trackman testing to obtain the optimal numbers to coincide with my current driver or 3 wood set up. The T1100 has done a lot for my game reducing my driving SG by 0.974 from the year past. The shaft can feel slightly board like at times, however, I cannot find the correct shaft set up that keeps my spin rate under 2400 consistently without the T1100. From what I've read about this shaft it seems that this would be a better fit for me because there is a bit more reaction in the shaft itself. After finding my optimal numbers I would then head to our states only indoor to outdoor range and see how the shaft would react to golfing the ball. Currently I am scheduled to take a trip to Mrytle Beach this winter, so most likely I would be taking the set-up along with me. There is a great fitter near me and I already planned on testing this shaft thoroughly after its release.

-Callaway Dual Cog, no tipping, to play at 45.5” to allow for tipping (typically play 45”) logo down in N -1 setting

 

Please explain how you would approach testing this shaft

-I would start on the range to get a feel for the shaft launch and feel of the shaft along with launch monitor numbers to ensure correct tipping and setup. After basic settings and adjustments are made and launch monitor numbers seem good I would test on course for a couple rounds. From there I would go back to the range and launch monitor to finer tune any adjustment needed and then start the on course testing again. This would repeat untill I felt everything was set correctly. From there I would figure out if this shaft could beat out my current gamer for accuracy playability and distance.

What's in your current bag? Ping G LST 9 Rogue Silver 110 MSI 60 X

What is your current handicap? +1.1

Where are you located? Pittsburgh, PA

I will be installing this in my Ping G

Yes I will provide a review as well as high quality photos

60 TX

No tipping and a ping adapter

I would test this shaft in my current head on a monitor against my current shaft, the Rogue, as well as any other shaft I can get my hands on. Ideally, I would like to take this outside as well, it current winter weather will probably hinder that part. Thank you for the opportunity to enter for this testing!

Please explain how you would approach testing this shaft- since it’s freezing cold here in Michigan, I would test the club and shaft on an indoor simulator. Once the weather warms up, I will go to my local course. Luckily, as a second job (I’m a teacher), I work at a golf course from April-November. You can’t beat free golf and unlimited range!!

Thank you for this opportunity!

 

Currently swinging a Fujikura Atmos Black 7X.

 

Current handicap is +2.9.

 

Located in Benton, AR, USA.

 

Current driver is a Ping G400 LST 8.5*.

 

If selected I would post photos in the thread and on my Instagram page. And I would provide my honest thoughts and answer any questions to the best of my ability.

 

I would ask for a 70 TX installed straight into a Ping driver adapter (no tipping), standard setting,

 

As for my approach to testing, I would take pictures and provide initial thoughts on the appearance of the shaft. Then I would take it to the driving range/course and give initial thoughts on performance. THEN I would put the shaft on trackman and compare it to my current shaft and provide readers with screenshots of that information in hope of showing what kind of performance one could expect. I would also include videos of me swinging the shaft, so people could see my tempo which might provide more insight.

Depending on when the shaft ships, the epic SZ or whatever I end up with for the season... looking like the M3 or M4?

 

If selected, do you agree to participate in an ongoing testing / review thread? We ask that you provide hi-res, quality photos, and provide a review of the shaft.

 

I can swing that, no problem. I’ll even produce a video, if desired... (with digital audio from a mic!)

 

 

Desired driver shaft weight and flex (reference product specification information for details)?

Please include any tipping instructions and OEM adapter (if applicable)

 

60 Tx tipped an inch or the 70tx - whatever is needed... TM or Callaway. I can have my fitter put in whatever, I suppose.

.

Please explain how you would approach testing this shaft

 

Take it up to the Golf Club and hang for the day... look at trackman numbers from various swing types (d1 players, solid ams, hacks like me). Probably leave it with my teacher/fitter until it warms up enough to try and get as much of a consensus about the shaft. I’m a computer nerd, and so I do like me some data!

 

Once it warms up a bit I’ll absolutely game it, but in the meantime compare it to everything & the kitchen sink.

 

In short, lots of trackman testing with a range of swing tempos/speeds in the X flex range.

Ultimately, I am hoping for this shaft to continue to help drop my spin numbers. I also spend significant amount of time on the range, and play between 2-4 times a week.

I would use 20 balls/swings for each shaft, take the 10 best swings and form an average an formulate an opinion based on those numbers and the overall feel of the shaft. I would then do an on course test to see how it compares to one of my normal playing rounds. Having a mechanical engineering degree, this is right up my alley. I would love to be a part of this shaft testing, as I have a lot to offer. Thank you for your consideration.

  • If selected, do you agree to participate in an ongoing testing / review thread? We ask that you provide hi-res, quality photos, and provide a review of the shaft.

Yes of course.

  • Desired driver shaft weight and flex (reference product specification information for details)?

70 TX

  • Please include any tipping instructions and OEM adapter (if applicable).

Cobra My-Fly 8 adapter, no tipping

  • Please explain how you would approach testing this shaft

My first point of call will be to test indoors on a launch monitor to compare directly to my beloved Aldila Tour Blue. I want to keep as many variables constant, including weight, clubhead etc. The indoor test will be primarily about collecting the objective information about performance - launch characteristics and dispersion testing etc.

 

After the initial objective test i'll then be taking the driver out onto the range for some performance testing. I have a number of games I use in practice to simulate competition, but testing on the range means I'll be able to easily switch back and forth between shafts to compare and start to paint a better picture about feel and other subjective factors that go into a shaft choice.

 

The final test will be on course - most likely in practice rounds first when I can still switch over shafts mid-round.

 

Given that my ATX Blue has a similar profile to the Synergy, I suspect the performance figures will be relatively similar and this shaft will be a reasonable fit for me. What i'm most interested in is to see how the new technology and materials changes the feel profile of the shaft, in particular how well I can feel the shaft when I'm under pressure or playing a hole with OB right (my miss under pressure is a push). I love the tour blue now because I can rely on how the shaft loads, so i'm curious to see how quickly I can replicate that feeling with this new model.

 

Thanks for the opportunity, hope I'm not too late!
