What driver shaft are you playing?


NJgolfer11

Recommended Posts

Currently,  I have a Fujikura Pro 2.0 6S in my PXG Gen 2X driver.

Once I get my swing more consistent, I am thinking of trying some different ones.

I currently have a Tensei Orange CK in 3-wood and a Tensei Blue in my 3 hybrid. I am considering finding a used Tensei White.

Also, the Ventus Red seems go to with my driver speed which is generally in the 95-99 mph range.

Which driver shaft do you currently play and what is it about it that you like?

Kiyoshi black 65-X. Had this driver nearly 5 years, most consistent driver I've ever had while still being long. I can hit a controlled shot or a high bomb if needed, and it doesn't normally want to go left on me.

MtlJeff is very loyal to shafts. My history of shaft usage is as follows

 

1) Diamana D+ for 5+ years

2) Matrix Black Tie for 5+ years

3) Hzrdus Smoke Black or Yellow is the new bees knees

Tensei 1k.  It's giving the best ball speed out of all the modern driver shafts I have been testing which translates into 10 to 15 more yards off the tee.  On the flip side, when I mis hit my driver, it comes off as a low spin hook that falls out of the sky.  I'm going to give it some time to work out the kinks but if this keeps up, I may have to move onto something else.

Playing a UST Attas Elements Prototype DK (dynamic Kick) 7X. Pretty sure this became the wind shaft Taylormade Sim Max head.

 

Shaft has a very pronounced Pop at Impact which I love in all my clubs. So smooth and stable. I had a tenancy to hit the ball super high. This shaft just flattens everything out for me. 

 

Elements Chrome 7F5 , also a favourite.

I am testing the NVS Orange R and the Even Flow 6.0S in my PXG Gen 4 0811.
 

Would like to try the Ventus Red.

SIM2 Max with a CK Orange 60S. I tried a Helium 5F4 and the Kuro Kage silver 60S but the Orange is just superior in feel, distance, and dispersion.

Just hit 7+ new driver shafts last week. Had best results with Ventus Velocore Blue but they were not much more noticeable than my OG Ahina. Certainly not $300 noticeable!

Playing Ventus Black 6x in my TSi3 and it’s unreal how good it’s been for me. 
 

Driving was never a strength for me. I’ve always hit it long, but could spray it a bit. Not with this one. This is the most consistent I’ve ever been off the tee over the course of a season.
