Shaft info, s300

[Lord Viking]

So..I'm not much of a shaft guy. As far as I know it was stiff or regular. 

This was early 1990s

I had a set of mizuno tzoids, when they first came out and really liked them.

Shafts were s300.

What shafts today compare to those?

I'm thinking of going 921forged & wondering project x 5.5 or 6.0..or something other....

What do you guys think on shafts 

[boggyman]

They’re a tad heavier than the 5.5 and supposedly a lower flight. I see similar flight between the 2 but the 300 is a reported 15 grams heavier. The 6.0 and 300 are same weight.

You’ll get and find more info in the Club tech forum. Maybe the MODS will move it there.

With that much time having expired and that little recollection of what you were playing before, the only options in my mind are to go out and hit a bunch of iron shafts on your own, or get fitted. 

 

True Temper Dynamic Gold S300 shafts still exist, of course, but they have evolved in to a more diverse line of varying weights, etc. I'm sure you'd find something in that lineup that would work for you - but I can't guarantee it will feel like the shafts you remember or that it will be the best shaft choice for you at the present time.

If it's not broke, don't fix it

No argument from me.  I'm a DynaGold lifer.

I'm playing 900 forged with 5.5 and find myself swinging extra smooth to make it work, it's a constant "Swing smooth word not allowed", constantly going through my head...

From what Ive heard the KBS Tour 120 is more smooth and feels better than the DG S300, but the DG S300 launches lower if thats what your looking for.

 

Somebody might be able to give you more insight.

Are you against going to a fitter and trying different shafts to see how they play for you?

I'm planning on it, just looking to gather some info
