similar to whiteboard?

robengel · February 23, 2013

Hi, I was hitting on a LM today and I was getting great results with a titleist 913 d2 that had a whiteboard stiff flex installed, swing speed was 98-99 mph, are there any other shafts out there that are similar in performance, but a little less "boardy"? I'm also interested in an r11s, but which shafts for that driver would perform similar to the whiteboard in the titleist? Thanks for your help!

Tour AD DI, some might say it launches a little higher but they are very close. It will have more of the feel you are looking for, although most people think the WB is a pretty good feeling shaft. It's all subjective though.

would the kai'li 70 be at all similar to the whiteboard?

Went from a Whiteboard to an Oban Devotion. I loved the whiteboard but wanted something a little less expensive when I changed drivers. Devotion has blown me away. Similar characteristics but think the Devotion feels a tad better

[size=3]Kai'Li would be slightly higher launch, but higher spin than Whiteboard. Also would feel "smoother" though.[/size]
[size=3]Another option t look at would be Project X shafts, they are available in 913's for slight upcharge and worked very well in the 910 heads.[/size]
[size=3]Just make sure to look at correct flex, as Project X seem to be "in between" flexes of other manufacturers.[/size]
[size=3]Smoother than Whiteboard feel shaft.[/size]

I'm really looking at an R11s, a new 913 would be great, but not really in the budget, I was just testing shafts in the 913. Would the TP RIP phenom 65 be a decent alternative?

How does the matrix black tie 7m3 compare to the whiteboard?

I'm with you on the boardy feel too at that swingspeed. It gets a lot better with the 72 if you can get up to about 103-4. You might try both White shafts. Titleist has a 72 & 62 stock I believe. I had an old WB in a 62 or 3 gram that was the best feeling one ever. I felt the butt end better through the swing and really felt like I compressed it more. Try the 62 if you can.

Neither the kai'li or the AD DI is a good match for a whiteboard. An Aldila NV would be close. An Aldila DVS is close except for the tip area. A tipped DVS would be pretty close.
