Will be receiving the PL Red 65S in the mail tomorrow. Hopefully I can throw it in before the weekend.

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%.

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.

Played with it today and most likely will be putting the OEM Matrix Ozik back in. Might try putting the PL Red in the Burner TP.

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

      By iacas · Posted

      It may not have been block practice, though, is one of the main points here. You may have been serving and from the same place, but you were likely trying to do slightly different things. It seems that would only be blocked practice if you were trying to hit the same exact ball hit to you to the same exact place in the far court. I'm not sure that's as random as if the ball that you're given to hit is at different places, too, but again…

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

      I played tennis in college. I thought block practice was great for serves because you were starting the point and  you could easily adjust where you wanted to place the ball based off the same motion. I equate those to tee balls. I despised block practice for groundstrokes once you reached a certain level and your fundamentals were good. To me, hitting a 100 crosscourt backhands in a row was silly because I would never do that in a match. I needed to randomize it by hitting some deep, some angled, all with different speeds and spins. I share that same thought about iron play. Because we seldom hit the same approach shots hole after hole, I prefer to practice irons randomly.
