What is your favorite shaft with this head?

[kcarrgolf]

I started with the Tensei AV Raw Blue that it came with stock, then went to a Fuji Pro 2.0 that was better, but finally settled on the Ventus Blue w/ velo.  That's been the most consistent shaft for me, 105 swing speed.

 

[Cactus Jack]

I own a Ventus Black and Blue, Tensei 1K, VA Nemesis, RDX Smoke Blue TX, and the stock RDX Smoke Black. Guess which shaft won out…the stock RDX Black. The RDX works better for my swing than any shaft I own or tested. You best course of action is to get fit, but don’t sleep on the stock shafts.

Played it most of the year, recently changed to the TSi2 but in the SIM 2, I had the HZRDUS Smoke Green. Longest driver I had owned but had to be fully on it, the TSi2 allows me to get a little sloppy, or just tired late on in the round and get away with it.

Just grabbed a sim 2 max d

 

test shafts

- ad di 6x

- ventus red 6x

- PX 6a4 7.0

- Oban revenge 65.05

- ad XC 6x

- rip phenom 50x and 50 tx 

- Blueboard 53x

 

… but ….. likely will end up with a velocore blue 6x like my buddy had in his at home

I have a Ventus blue 6s in mine and I really like it 

[mksprt]

Tour AD GP 5R1 - Swing Speed = 95-100.

[jah7838]

Diamana D+ Limited 70s for me. Very consistent launch and spin with plenty of carry. Tensei AV Raw White 65s was probably my 2nd favorite. 

[SEP1006]

Tested the following:

 

Ventus Red

Ventus Blue

Haz Smoke Yellow

 

Ended up with an KHT Autoflex SF505 at D2 swingweight playing at 45"

I was fitted wasn't good experience but was fitted for tsi3 and hulk shaft. I now have tsi4 same hulk shaft and the smoke blue rdx that it came with.

I have never tried a diamana shaft before but I see so many people love them

Curious how that ad xc-6x ends up

My sim 2 driver has a ventus blue 6x shaft.

My sim 2 max fairway wood has a ventus blue 7x shaft.

Tested the Hazrdus Black, Ventus Black, Ventus Blue and Tensei 1k 50.  Blue Ventus is hands down the best feeling and performance for me.  1k performs well but I don’t care for the feel.  Apparently I don’t get along with the black shafts.  

[LeftyMatt24]

LAGP AXS Blue 6x is an amazing shaft but I have the OG Sim Max. I have found the AXS blue to have more feel than ventus black or Diamana Ltd 70tx and still very stable in the tip like both of those shafts. 

[OspreyCI]

Just picked up a Sim2 Max and will be using a Diamana ZF in it. Expect a bomber for sure.

If you’re playing a TSI4 Hulk combo I assume you are a high launch high spin player. That’s an extreme setup and I doubt the SIM 2 will be low enough spin and a shaft might not do the trick either. Maybe something like a Trono or Ventus black would work, but unless you’re trying to change things up, you’ll have a hard time finding anything similar to your current setup. 

[Taylor475]

I play the Tensei 1k in 60x for driver, and Hzrdus RDX Blue 6.5 70 for 3 wood. Driver SS is around 112-115. Hitting my best off the tee than I ever have!

[Bye]

I have a Tensei CK Blue in a Sim 2 Max. loft sleeve in the upright setting. 
 

 

[300_yard_drives]

I have a Smoke Yellow 70TX in my 8* Sim2 turned down 2*. It goes really straight

[cardoustie]

How many guys are D head guys?

 

Down here in Myrtle Beach there are basically zero D heads and the PGASS said TM has no more … I thought that was interesting

 

Testing both at home in Canada earlier this fall I found the D to only be slightly DRAW biased but it took out right misses completely

[evoviiiyou]

I’ve tried several shafts in my SIM2 Max and MaxD 9* heads. In order of best results for my average 110mph driver swing all playing length 44.5”. 

 

Accra TZ6 65M4 tipped 1/2” (gamer)

Fuji Speeder 661TR S 

Fuji Ventus Red 6S tipped 3/4”

Fuji Atmos TS Blue 6S 

MRC Diamana ZF 60S 

MRC Tensei AV Blue 65S tipped 1/2”

 Could play any of them as they all feel amazing…but the Accra seems to be the most stable of misses and wild swings for the fences. I like that insurance and the results…TR was close but felt a little less smooth.

I went from the Sim2 to the D head. It is not crazy draw but my right misses are not nearly as drastic.

[WannabePaperTiger]

Tried out a bunch and ended up with the stock Ventus 5s. Random. Came from r15 430 with D+70s and m1 440 (2017) with same shaft. Getting older and this combo works. Wanted to try the ventus with velo 50s or 1k 50s but never came across any to try. SS is 102-103

[benclab]

When I had one, I had a RDX black, Atmos black, my old Speeder 661 and a Tensei white and the Atmos as the winner.  However I couldn't control it like I wanted to with any of them so I hopped on the G425 train.

I'm honestly just one of those guys who likes options. Yes high launch and spin.

With hulk and smoke blue rdx in my tsi4 I have around 2100 spin.

 

I was looking at lagolf shafts

 

Also I started golf with a 2016 m1 and then tsi3 now tsi4.

 

Kinda wanna give taylormade another run

I’ve got the Ventus Blue 6-S in my SIM 2 Max head. Feels good so far in 2 cold Winter rounds here in Canada, but looking forward to testing it out in the Spring with better temps!
