Great shaft! I use the 63TX in my driver and switched from the Tour AD VF. The stability is unmatched

Anymore feedback on this shaft? 

 

Thinking I'm gonna give this a go. Been using Ventus Black for the last 4 years. Og for 3 then TR the last year. I feel like the tr black is smoother than the og. That being said I want something even smoother than the tr black. I have a very quiet transition but swing around 124-127 with the driver pretty consistently. I honestly hardly ever feel the ventus black load very much lolol. I'm weak by golfwrx standards 🤣 

 

My list is Diamana Wb, Tour Ad VF, and perhaps KaiLi white. Leaning toward Diamana Wb.

Have a friend that I play with regularly that is 120+ mph driver SS.  He has trouble finding anywhere to demo TX flexes as you can imagine and has had to buy and either keep or resale everything he doesn't love.  His go to shaft is the Hzrdus Smoke Green PVD TX tipped an inch.  Ironically that exact shaft (in driver) has won twice on tour this year already.  One golf shop has them for $139 brand new and uncut on ebay right now in 6TX and 7TX.  Might be worth trying

Thanks for the suggestion!! I have played the hulk pvd, it performed nicely but it did feel like I had to step on it to feel anything from the shaft. I honestly don't know if what I'm looking for exists but I like feeling the shaft load but not kick. 

 

I was hoping a whiteboard type or whitboard derived profile might be what I'm looking for haha.

Anyone else try this new Diamama WB shaft? Curious to hear feedback, thanks!

Surprised there isn't more chatter about this shaft in the forums. Just demo'ed and purchased the WB 73x for my TSR2 3 wood, replacing GD AD DI 7x which was too active and spinny for me. First swings felt immediately familiar to the OG whiteboard, which I played in my junior golf days. Stable, powerful, consistent throughout the shaft (didn't feel like tip vs mid vs butt were any more active than the other). If it's possible to describe the feel as "dense," rather than thin and hollow, that's the feel that comes to mind. Spin came down drastically vs AD DI, almost too "hot" - planning to add some loft to the sleeve once the shaft arrives, so I can solve for a specific carry distance without as much roll. Better match for what I'm looking for out of a 3w, which is ideally fairway finders off the tee when the hole takes driver out of play.

 

Fitter only had the 73g shaft to test at the time, but I am tempted to pick up a matching 63g TX for the driver.

Sounds awesome thanks for sharing! I have one coming in ordered a darkspeed ls 9* with a wb 63tx.

 

I'm also surprised there isn't more feedback for this shaft. I've been searching for information for like 2 weeks now lol.

Any feedback on this vs 1K Tensei white?

[pb_n_joe]

Loving the 73x in my 3w. Turned the loft up to 16.5, which makes the club much more versatile than my prior setup. Much easier to hit the high soft one into par 5s, and I can still hit the low hot one off the tee if needed - the shaft really makes this possible. 

 

I haven't compared against 1K Tensei white, but it does remind me of the older Tensei CK Pro white in terms of feel. Very "point and shoot" one piece stability. Maybe a touch more boardy, but still very smooth feel.

1K Pro White is higher ball speed than the WB but it's also less stable/prone to the lefts.  WB is super stable and anti-left but average ball speeds for me.  1K Pro White feels softer overall compared to the WB which feels pretty stout flex for flex.

Had the 1K White - but couldn’t keep it from going left on me, but liked the feel of the old LTD Diamana, did VR have more ball speed for you then TR Black?

TR Black was average ball speed while VF was 1-2 mph faster.
