Got it put in last night but didn't get to try it out today due to 30-40mph winds.

Also, the Axivcore Tour Green 65 gram shafts went on sale! This will be my next shaft to try.

If any golf shops in your area are going out of business, drop in and see what shafts they still have. At one shop I visited, shafts were discounted 75%.

Focus, connect and follow through!

i really like the matrix shafts if you can find a good deal on one.

lol you JUST got it and barely even played with it... I guarantee in a couple weeks to a month, you'll replace it or something and you'll make a similar post saying "I really like ________"

Never had any experience with any type of GD shaft. I hear good things about em though.

Finally got around to hitting the driver today. Definitely wasn't swinging well but the ball flight was not as low as I expected. Similar ball flight as my OEM Matrix shaft but the shaft held up better on more aggressive swings. Honestly I think the shaft is a little bit too much for me. Bad swings were rewarded with a huge slice that would send me OB. Will have to try it out on the course to see how it works out. Hopefully I can work it out by the time I head down to Maryland.

How much do local proshops usually charge to reshaft and regrip?

It looks fairly easy to do yourself from what Ive seen, talking about reshafting. You can also "pure" the shaft on your own. Not sure if most golf shops take the time to align it properly.

Do not have a blow torch, vice grip, or anything to cut the shaft with so it would make it quite hard to reshaft. The shop charged me $20 to reshaft which included a GP NDMC grip.

20 bucks isnt too bad at all for a grip too. Dicks sporting goods told me it cost 20 bucks to reshaft and I have to buy a new grip on top of that. So I looked into reshafting on my own and its simple if you have that right tools.

      My Swing (billchao)

      By billchao ·

      Went to a PING fitting day today. Going to be ordering a G430 Max 3w with a 75g x-stiff shaft at 5w length and a 3h. I forget what my fitter did with the shaft on that but she told me she’s going to email the club the specs of everything. The 3w combination we found pretty quickly. As for the hybrid, we tried a bunch of different head and shaft combinations for that distance with mixed results. Then she handed me the 3h and I took three swings with it and knew it was the one.

      Yeah, this isn't sandbagging. It's outright cheating. He should be banned.

      How Much Water do You Need to Drink?

      By billchao ·

      That’s quite a generalization. It’s clear that you don’t like water but there are plenty of us that drink it just fine. My daily intake is usually about 20oz of black coffee, 16oz of soda, 8oz of milk mixed into a protein shake, and anywhere between 30-60oz of water. It doesn’t even need to be cold and I kind of prefer it closer to room temperature than cold. I quite like the taste of tap water, with sole exception being the tap water at Magic Kingdom (it’s terrible). I can’t stand when people bring me tap water with a lemon wedge in it. I didn’t ask for lemon in my water.

      By billchao ·

      This is the part I don’t get. He’s not even kind of sandbagging, he’s blatantly doing it and submitting scores that are verified to be incorrect. How he’s not banned from competition is beyond me.
