Just got back from the range.

Last weekend, my Golfsmith order arrived and I reshafted my 3-wood and my 2 Hybrids.
I was dying to hit my new shafts, and I'm thrilled with the changes!

I've been using an NV in my driver for a while, but my 3-wood and Hybrids have always had steel shafts. I changed my 3-wood to an NV-85X, (my driver is an NV-75X), and I reshafted my Hybrids with a pair of Graphite Design YS-9.1+.

The 3-wood is BUTTER!

And hitting the Hybrids now feels like a well struck iron! The steel shafts always felt too "whippy" because the 3-wood and Hybrid heads are naturally heavy. I was using TT X-100's in them, but it still felt like I wasn't "connected" to the head.

These new shafts are lighter and much less whippy, so it really feels like hitting irons.
Everything feels so much more solid and in control. It's like, "Point and shoot".

It appears that the extra NV and the two YS-9's are the best money I ever spent!

Oh, and I also changed all of my grips to Tour Velvets. It's the first time Ive ever used them and they feel pretty good. I'm not sure if i like them better than Tour Wraps, but I will give it some time to make that call.

But the shafts?

Cha-ching!

3 Wood: Golfsmith Viper 15-deg., Aldila NV85-X
Hybrid:(2) Golfsmith Quick Strike Tour, 21,18-deg., YS-9.1+Irons: Golfsmith 600-B Forged Blades, 2-PW, TT X-100, All Soft-stepped/Lofts 2-deg. upright.Wedges: Golfsmith 52, Cleveland 56,...

Nice, why didn't you try the six wood shaft from graffaloy, those are really nice. Also nvs shafts are amazing for hybrids, the ball dosen't balloon but goes high and the wind dosen't touch it. It's kind of like the NV, with more distance and air time.

    • I have played in Scotland and Ireland at some of the top 100 courses in the world including Royal County Down rated number 1, The Old Course, and Carnoustie as well as many others. I was lucky enough to travel with Matty Adams, John Maginnes, and Mark Carnevale as well as a great group of Golf Channel followers. I also have played in Canada, Bermuda, and Jamaica.
    • Maxfli Tour, shop dick’s deals, add $20 coupon when u spend $100, 4 Dzn for $90 plus tax and shipping…it’s def worth the exercise…let me know how they feel…or just buy a 3 pack to test…have to give them a try…not a better quality / price point out there right now in the ball market…
    • Interesting that no one is gaming the maxfli tour, whether the Tour, the S, or the X….it’s a quality urethane ball and a mid-level price sub $30 / dozen….and Maxfli Tour players out here….I will be playing it next summer as I just stocked up on them….4 dozen for $110 and Dicks has the occasional spend $100, get $20 off which drops it even lower…so far my preference is X just slightly ahead of Tour, and the S trailing pretty far behind…Like many of you, I have played many different balls over the years and trying to dial in a ball / price combo that works…so far the Maxfli Tour and Tour X are my front runners.     fyi, so far, dick’s is not paying me any promo / nil money, lol.   Happy New Year Y’all!
