Has anyone hit this shaft? I will probably be crazy to buy it but a fool and his money are soon parted I guess. Any opinions?

what head?......ive swung it in an adams head and its pretty active......If you've got the power it kicks pretty well.......not gonna knock your teeth out and boardy.  If I were gonna compare it, I would say that a whiteboard is rigid, the oban devotion is smooth, and the project x is active or lively....you can feel it working

Titleist 910D3 head. From some of the reviews I have read they say it is a very low spin shaft and hits well.

I've hit that head......wrenched down on its adjustability stuff and set wide open, that head spins less with a heavier diamana ahina x.

The 72 gram ahina?

I have a Project X 7C3 in my Sonartec SS-2.5 15* 3wood... I absolutely love it .

I hit it so well that I am going to change the shaft in my driver b/c it doesn't make since for me to hit my 3 wood 250yards, and then I can only hit my driver 10 yards longer.

How do you like that Devotion stick?

I LOVE my devotion shaft...........it takes whatever I can throw at it.   it is the smoothest loading and unloading shaft for something that is nearly long drive stiff.....my fitter has one in a stiff flex and loves it.......tightest dispersion for any shaft I've seen.

I tested the 910D3, it was a 9.5 degree like my normal driver. I had it dialed down to the lowest setting and a Diamana 65 gr kai'li shaft. It was even worst than my Matrix Ozik shaft.

Please tell me that the 65 gm shaft was some sort of "made-for" shaft.  I'm about to shell out a lot of money for the Kai'li 60gm shaft in a new Ping G20.

Well it is a custom shaft option for the 910 drivers. It depends on what you want for ball flight.

http://media.titleist.com/images/titleist/pdfs/US/2012/flipbook/Custom_Catalog_Spring/index.html#/4/zoomed

It looks like the 60gr you are talking about is a low mid launch and mid on spin. Whereas the 65 I used today was a mid/mid.

Just for reference, my current shafts stats: Matrix Ozik Xcon 5.5 Tip Mid / 3.1° / 60g

yeah.....not a long drive specific shaft........it is a normal length shaft.  it is oban's "6 flex" or "tour x stiff"  which is like xx to xxx range.  I play it at 44 " assembled with the adams head (see sig).  I believe it is an available option for the 910d3 if you are going to order it from titleist, even if it is through a retailer........I know a few folks that play the shaft in various flexes and I've never heard anything but amazement and love.......kinda like a "once you've tried it, you'll understand the difference" type of thing

  • 2 weeks later...

im currently playing a Titleist 910D2 9.5* with the ProjectX 7C3 shaft (46" 73gram 6.0 tip stiff) and i love it. i switched from a 907D2 with the 45" ys-6+ stiff and picked up 12 yards of carry.

also just ordered a new 910F 15* 3wood with the ProjectX 8C4 shaft (43" 82gram 6.0 stiff) and was carrying it 250yards+ set to A1. I personally love the ProjectX shafts in the driver/woods. have yet to hit them in any irons but very much considering upgrading my ap1's to some new CB's with the ProjectX 6.0 rifles (+1/2, 2*up)

    • Welcome to TST @Camjr.   We're glad you've joined.  
    • Angle is not a factor. I hit the ball 100’ high. Par is net birdie. My CH is 16. The rough between the bunkers is like 10’ wide though. That’s not something you’re going to try to hit on purpose. Most of the area to the left of that is fescue/native vegetation and I’m pretty sure there isn’t a flat lie in any of it. It’s the second hole.
    • Hello all.  I'm about to be 57 yrs old, started playing when I was 16, and have quit and restarted the game more times than I can count.  I had started playing a weekly round with a friend, and finally made the jump to Senior A shafted Tour Edge clubs.  Instantly gained 10 yds with an easier swing (why didn't I make that jump sooner???).  Glad to be a part of the group. Cheers all,
    • I think I like this hole.  It is a clear "Risk-Reward" choice.  Since most of the shots in your cone cleared the bunkers I would say they are a minor risk and not a big issue.  Playing the aggressive line may give you 70ish yards in from what looks to be playable rough while conservative play is 120ish from fairway.  I know you said 70 vs 120 is minor for you but how does the approach angle in impact your results?  I figure both strategies are playing for Birdie since holing out from either is mostly luck. Looking at your proximity hole I think it says @ 50 feet when hitting from the fairway from 100-150 and 40 feet if hitting 50-100 from the rough.  Neither of those is an easy birdie putt.   I like the approach angle from the rough between the bunkers & the adjacent tees over the angle from @ 120 in the fairway but I really do not like the idea of hitting onto the adjacent tee boxes and that may impact my confidence with making the shot.  Also, too far left may be a worse approach angle then from the fairway short of the bunkers. For me this may come down to how confident do I feel when I reach that tee box.  If I am stroking it well off the tee leading up to the hole I would try for over the bunkers and the better angle in but if I am struggling that day I would likely opt for the fairway to take more bad stuff out of play.
