Adam Scott switches iron shafts again!!

[speeder757]

In all seriousness Adam should really give the Modus 130 or KBS Tour V a try. Both would definitely help get the launch and spin up a bit and both are slightly counter balanced like his previous KBS Tour shafts.

AS used X100 before initially switching to KBS Tour - he mentioned that the change was to increase spin. He is probably one of the biggest iron shaft changers on the PGA Tour!

He rinsed a few with iron shots on the way to a bogey/double bogey combo on the back nine today. This may call for a shaft change before the second round.

If that happens, I’m willing to consider his WRX membership application

I'm actually surprised he went to the PX LS, considering he has generally used smoother shafts for long periods of time (KBS Tour, Graphite Design, Ventus, and so on).  The LS are anything but smooth.  But I guess if you swing at 118-120 mph, nothing really feels that stiff anyways.  

 

He had a spell with the LS a few years ago - going between them and the KBS Tour. Big Adam Scott fan and I have also gone from the KBS Tour to the LS and I must admit that I didn't find it too much of a difference feel wise.

I am fully aware of the irony of this statement in his case

He's a good looking dude.  Over 6 feet tall as well.  Could model for the likes of Calvin Klein, Ralph Lauren, etc.

Are you thinking of the PX LZ he used to win a few tournaments? I don't think he has used the LS before.

He should be using a different model iron shaft in each iron to maximize shot making options.

That’d be more of an issue than just a shaft change, wouldn’t ya think? Just take a look at poor ole Fowler for instance . One doesn’t have to win on a regular basis to have a nice career on tour. Although, it would’ve a great feeling and motivator for sure. 

My comment was in reference to him going back to his Titleist blades. Not the shaft switch.

Totally misread the earlier LS for LZ!! My bad.

Totally agree, I preferred it back then. Custom stuff was way cooler than nowadays. 
 

Nippon shafts were about then too though, the fantastic Super Peening. Also Apollo (Hump and others) were in many good players bags, and G. Loomis were the graphite iron shafts of choice. 
 

Bring back Swix, Sabre, Sandvik Titanium, Flex-Twist Ceramic, Daiwa Metacarbo, Firestick, HM55, RCH36, and knowing someone was a player because they had a gold boron shaft 😄

You're killing me with SWIX!  Those were great! How about AJ Tech! Or Brunswick Fibre Match! I loved those!

That’s a bold take Cotton 😉

Oh man! The shiny red AJ Tech shafts!… I had forgotten all about those.

Ah! Takes me back. A colleague back then had an unhit Tommy Nak driver with a Fibre Match 6.8 in it. Told me to take it for a hit. I declined. I was scared of putting a sky mark on it just looking at it. 
 

Yeah, the Swix Performa 100+, good times. 
 

Those were the days… anyway, where’s my pipe and slippers…

Saw on the Titleist page that he has switched to the new ProV1x, he mentioned equipment changes matching better with it.

such a perfect swing it’s shocking he hasn’t won more recently, rooting for him

Prototype swing, great ball striker and plenty long but has always been a suspect putter.  The anchor ban didn't do him any favors either.  Under achiever IMO.
