A masterpiece by Joe Kwok

The title says it all... Here's the review. Nike SQ Tour 9.5 w/ Tour Spec Fujikura Rombax 7V05 stiff tipped 1"

First of all I'd like to thank Mr. Kwok for putting this together for me. The club and shaft combo are excellent to say the least. I was hitting an NV 65 X and it just didn't work for me at all in the Nike head. It was fine in my 905T but just didn't mesh with the Nike. Anyway, I gave Joe a call and after talking to him for a while he recommended the Rombax 7V05 shaft in Stiff flex and tipped 1".

Too much spin was my main problem with my older setup and Joe said this should do the trick. Well.... it did that for sure. I would say for me, the Shaft/Head combo creates a mid/high ball flight with a very low spin rate which is exactly what I was trying to achieve. The ball stays in the air for a long time but then gets a lot of roll also. Absolutely no balloon balls.

I would say that the feel of the shaft is a little harsher than I expected... but I'm not going to worry about it with the ball flight that I'm getting right now. Very Happy.

With this shaft I would say the mishits are much longer than ever before and the feedback is great letting you know where the ball will be without even looking up. In other words, you will know if you've hit a bad one... For me, that's what I want.

As far as working the ball goes, I feel like this shaft is very workable for me now Going both left and right. My natural shot is straight or a little left to right and I can call on that pretty much every time now. If I have to, I can draw it too. But I will say that it's getting harder for anyone to draw it these days with the 460cc heads.

In conclusion.... I'm very happy with my setup and I hope this ends my driver searching days for quite a while!!! :)

Thanks for reading and thanks again Joe!!
