I have a Mitsubishi Bassara, 43gram. When I get to the point that I need S-Flex in my driver, I will likely go with a {blue or red} board, but of course I'll try out a bunch first.

True Temper EI-70, 79g stock at 46", R flex, 43" tipped and trimmed down, with 1" extension to make a soft X at 44". It's an old shaft, but I see no reason to update, it's still as good as or better than anything on the market.

Matrix Xcon 5 stiff house (POS) shaft broken at the tip within a day or so

New Aldila SVS6, and cut to 44" from the butt Huge difference in a house shaft vs after market shafts imo I'll be testing the new Aldila RIP shafts as soon as they are available

About two weeks ago, I put in an order from Golf Smith for a UST ProForce V2 66g, an AXIVCore Tour Red, and an AXIVCore Tour Green (all stiff). Now I'm having a tough time deciding what's gonna go where.

At this time, my old Nike SQ Sumo 5000 has the stock made-for-Nike Diamana, but I think the V2 is going to go in there.

My Dymo STR8-Fit has the AXIVCore Blue in it, and I'm going to put one of the other two (AXIV Red or Green) in it, but I cant decide which. Both will give me the lower flight I'm looking for. If I could confirm that the hosel fitting is interchangeable between the Dymo and VR STR8-Fit, I'd just send both off to get the fitting put on them and have no worries about getting the new VR. I haven't had the chance to make the phone call to find out, but I'll be making a decision as soon as I do. I've read conflicting information at various places. Thought about putting one of them in a fairway wood too.

I've either been very lucky, or I have low standards - every wood I use regularly has the original stock shaft. They seem to work just fine that way - signature recently updated to reflect my satisfaction.

all stock but the driver, and since the driver shaft broke I had no choice, or I'd be in the same boat as you with all stock shafts and happy

      Driver and 3W Swing Weight Changes, Make Sense?

      By saevel25 · Posted

      In terms of ball striking, not really. Ball striking being how good you are at hitting the center of the clubface with the swing path you want and the loft you want to present at impact.  In terms of getting better launch conditions for the current swing you have, it is debatable.  It depends on how you swing and what your current launch conditions are at. These are fine tuning mechanisms not significant changes. They might not even be the correct fine tuning you need. I would go spend the $100 to $150 dollars in getting a club fitting over potentially wasting money on changes that ChatGPT gave you.  New grips are important. Yes, it can affect swing weight, but it is personal preference. Swing weight is just one component.  Overall weight effects the feel. The type of golf shaft effects the feel of the club in the swing. Swing weight effects the feel. You can add so much extra weight to get the swing weight correct and it will feel completely different because the total weight went up. Imagine swinging a 5lb stick versus a 15lb stick. They could be balanced the same (swing weight), but one will take substantially more effort to move.  I would almost say swing weight is an old school way of fitting clubs. Now, with launch monitors, you could just fit the golfer. You could have two golfers with the same swing speed that want completely different swing weight. It is just personal preference. You can only tell that by swinging a golf club.

      Driver and 3W Swing Weight Changes, Make Sense?

      By BananaBomber · Posted

      Thanks for the comments. I fully understand that these changes won't make any big difference compared to getting a flawless swing but looking to give myself the best chance of success at where I am and hopefully lessons will improve the swing along the way. Can these changes make minor improvements to ball striking and misses then that's fine. From what I understood about changing the grips, which is to avoid them slipping in warm and humid conditions, is that it will affect the swing weight since midsize are heavier than regular and so therefore adding weight to the club head would be required to avoid a change of feel in the club compared to before?

      Dr. Raymond Prior and Block vs. Random Practice (The Spin Axis Podcast)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      I think part of it is there hasn't been enough conclusive studies specific to golf regarding block studies. Maybe the full swing, you can't study it because it is too complicated and to some degree it will fall into variable or random.

      Going one step stiffer in the golf shaft, of the same make and model will have minor impact on the launch conditions. It can matter, it is a way to dial in some launch conditions if you are a few hundred RPM off or the angle isn't there. Same with moving weights around. A clubhead weights 200-220 grams. You are shifting a fraction of that to move the CG slightly. It can matter, again its more about fine tuning. As for grip size, this is more personal preference. Grip size doesn't have any impact on the swing out of personal preference.  You are going to spend hundreds of dollars for fine tuning. Which if you want, go for it. I am not sure what your level of play is, or what your goals in golf are.  In the end, the golf swing matters more than the equipment. If you want to go to that level of detail, go find a good golf club fitter. ChatGPT is going to surface scan reddit, golfwrx, and other popular websites for the answers. Basically, it is all opinionated gibberish at this point.
