Taylormade Burner Superfast's shaft named Matrix Xcon 4.8 claims to have 48 grams of weight. Is this true? Cause I just read somewhere it actually weights almost 60 g.

For Superfast owners, do you feel this shaft too light?

I've got the CGB Max woods which are supposed to have 45 gram shafts. They are very light and I am working on either getting heavier shafts or newer wood. If me tempo is fast at all, I have control issues.

It wasn't too light for me, but it felt like garbage. If anything, it was too long for me. Recently traded in the SF for a ST and it's much better so far.

I am sure you know that clubs, shafts, grip are truly just personal likes you derive from hitting them (preferably on a launch monitor). Having said that, I am 5'10", 180lbs, 66 years old with a 13 club handicap. I recently traded my cobra S2 driver, 3w and 5w off for the new Rocketball driver, and the Taylormade 2.0 3w, 5w, and 3h. I averaged only 200-206 with the Cobra S2 driver and around 165-170 with the S2 3w. I am now averaging 230 with the RBZ driver (xcon 5 shaft) and 180-190 with the superfast 2.0 3w and all are straight as an arrow. The Taylormade 2.0 3w, 5w and 3h all have the xcon 4.8 shafts and all I can say is, I wish I had bought them a long time ago. Hit em long and straight.

Everywhere I look the shaft is under 51 grams, accept the one guy in the one forum who says he took one off, weighed it, and came up with almost 60g lol. Is that the same thing you read? I always see the weight as 45-51 grams depending on what club the shaft is on, driver, 3w, 5w, 3hyb ext.

I have a couple superfast clubs with the shaft in question, and plan on replacing my nike driver with a Taylormade driver sporting this shaft. I'm guessing the shaft doesn't exceed 51grams but I'm inexperienced, who knows lol. Since I have clubs with these shafts I'll look around a bit more to see if I read anything different.

Sincerely, Jim

      What'd You Shoot Today?

      Gotcha. Still surprised those were that slow too, those are usually some of the quicker/nicer maintained greens of the public courses I play.

      By DaveP043 ·

      I go every year for Thanksgiving, this year I'll be arriving on 11/15 with 3 buddies.  Conditions have always been pretty good, greens are always near-perfect.  The only downside is that some courses will have overseeded, and they generally keep the fairways pretty wet while the rye gets started.

      Our Men's Business League Starts Tonight With an Interesting Local Rule.

      By Elmer ·

      before my home course put millions into maintenance, we had a local rule used by the league that you could improve your lie. The course has dry spots of hard clay, no grass, unfilled divots in the fairway. Since the bunkers filled with rocks and other stuff and never raked, we were allowed to lift and place. The idea was going head to head in matches I want my opponent to have the best lie and shot opportunity. I dont want to win a match because my opponents fairway shot is buried in a divot. Now that the course is well maintained we dont have to rely on that rule as much.

      "Golf is often called a gentleman's game because of its emphasis on etiquette, sportsmanship, and respect for fellow players and the course. Golfers are expected to adhere to a code of conduct that includes honesty, integrity, and consideration for others on the course." it amazes me for the right number, how quickly people will forget human rights violations, compromise their integrity and virtues all in the name of "growing the sport" (which we know not to be true)
