I recently purchased a Tour Edge XLD (Xtra Long Distance) 10.5 deg. 460CC Mega MOI Exotic driver that is fairly forgiving and easy to hit contact wise. The shaft is a Graphite Design S-Flex (Standard-Flex) Weight: 52 Grams, Torque: 4.5, Launch: Mid. Golf Pride Grip came standard with the driver. Comparing that to my Acuity Turbo Max 3-Wood, the 3 wood is much easier to shape in transition from back to downswing based on the shaft being a low torque shaft and having a smaller head. On a slightly heavier 55 gram shaft with the Tour Edge XCG head that my boss has, the head felt weightless compared to the shaft, which is a strong flex or less flex shaft, and was fairly easy to hit as well, but the 53 gram standard worked best for me and led me to my decision.

The diamana white, blue, and redboard shafts have some buzz.

For irons the Rifle Project X shafts are on fire . They're so good, and they look so awesome. I know a lot of people who are having those put in their irons and loving them.

...The shaft is a Graphite Design S-Flex (Standard-Flex)...

Actually that stands for Stiff Flex, not Standard

      PRGR Launch Monitor

      By Clemsonfan · Posted

      Is it? I bought the Stack radar to replace my PRGR based on what Stack told me! When I am swinging for speed, the PRGR would miss 50%-80% of my backswings due to a higher speed. The stack seldom misses those- at least for me.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By Clemsonfan · Posted

      As an analyst by nature, I would like to compare the scores under both systems. It is something we can easily do if we have the data. I actually thought the new system was less fair to those whose game was on the decline - like mine! Old: Best 10 of last 20 scores with the .96 multiplier. Course handicap excluded course rating and overall par. New: Best 8/20. Course handicap includes course rating -par. My understanding is Stableford caps scores at Net double bogey like stroke play. If so, handicap should be slower to rise because you are only using 8 versus 10 scores. If I am missing something, I am curious enough to  want to understand what that may be. My home course tees that I play are 72.1/154 now. My best score out here is 82. When my game started to decline, my handicap didn’t budge for 13 rounds because of good scores in my first 8! I know I am an anomaly but my handicap has increased almost 80% in the past few years (with only a few rounds this year). For a few months I knew I was losing every bet because my game was nowhere near my handicap. I suspect I have steamrolled a few nuances but that shouldn’t matter much. When I have modeled this with someone playing the same tees and course, one good round, or return to form, will immediately reduce the handicap by some amount.
