[speeder717]

Haha! I know I missed the live chat and tried to look through the pages

We made a limited run for tour players only, we never sold them.

What tour player would need a shaft like that?

Thomas Aiken won on the Euro Tour with this shaft in 2011.

Several lower profile Titleist staffers play them, according to the company site.

The Mizuno optimizer will often recommend this shaft along with the KBS Tour, so there are some similarities there.

I play it in my Mizuno H4, it's a very good shaft.

Also, it is a slightly lighter (~10 grams) option to the Dynamic Gold that also creates a better launch condition for low launch players. It's a very quality shaft, always been a fan of what TT does.

I understood that it was a game improvement shaft geared more for those who needed help with a higher trajectory.

I wouldn't call it game improvement. Strong players supposedly don't overpower this shaft.

I'd reserve the game improvement label for the 90 gram and below shafts.

I completely agree with this assessment. I don't need to hit the ball higher so this isn't the best shaft for me as it does tend to hit higher than the DG standard. There is no over powering this shaft, it is quality and feels great to hit. Yes, it does help get the ball in the air higher, but that can help people struggling as well as better players that hit the ball low.

shafts don't create spin. the type of swing and attack of angle does

I also know that D.L.3 played these in his long irons to the 6 iron, Also other pros have done the same. David Toms played them is his whole set when he won his major

[cheeks]

Yep, they're out there.....

If they're better than the Hard-Stepped Dynalite Gold XP S300's I'm using, Wow they've gotta be great shafts.
