Graffaloy "Black" shaft in my new Adams Idea Pro Black hybrid

[DarkPrince]

Hey all, I just picked up an Adams Idea Pro Black hybrid online and it arrived today.  I know stock in only came with a Matrix Ozik or Aldilla Voodoo shaft, but this one has a Graffaloy shaft in it. I've got a concern though because I have never seen one like this. 1: There are literally no fancy snazzy or ugly graphics on it, it's literally plain black and says "Grafalloy S-Flex" on the shaft in silver script. 2: I have searched the listing, and Grafalloys website to no avail on any information on the shaft and a cursory google search turned back nothing except more listings or people talking about prolaunch blue/red/platinum...etc.  The head was still wrapped and had the stickers on it and all, but the other weird thing is that I'm pretty sure it's got a Golf Pride Tour Velvet on it, but I've never found one that had no label on it anywhere. Even the adams hybrids I sell at work say adams golf up the grip, or on the butt of the club, or it says golfpride somewhere.  Does anyone have any ideas? I'll put a few pics up.  Just trying to figure out if its like a high/mid/low launch and high/mid/low spin?

I'm tempted to say it might be fake after a little searching.  The seller I bought it from is the only person I've found who sells it with this shaft. Also on the head it says 9031DF whereas on Golfsmith it just says 9031. The DF supposedly means Deep Face and the tour prototype that came out before these went retail was called the 9031DF...but they were silver, not black and said prototype on them. I remember the adams rep telling me something about them being a prototype when I hit it at a demo day last summer, but still I'm getting weird vibes about this.

Yeah he/they just got back to me saying that they do so much reshafting and reselling that they often buy bulk overstock from the major manufacturers. I may just have to look into getting a different shaft put in eventually after I hit it and see where I want to go from there.

Dear tad.darkprince,

Because we do so much club assembly, we frequently buy surplus shafts from companies like UST or Grafalloy, and these shafts are genuine first-rate product but are without much in terms of graphics so they will "work" with any kind of product they may go into.

Unfortunately I simply don't know any of the specs but you will definitely love the club. Thanks!

I think he may have thought I actually wanted all the graphics on it lol. I'm just so used to everyone trying to make them stand out and pop....so a plain black shaft looks nice, but just made me skeptical.

I'm also waiting on a reply from Adams golf inquiring about the 9031DF part, but it could be next week before I hear back if I do at all :P

Do a Google search on the 9031DF and then go to the GolfWRX.com links. You'll get all the info. you need.

I brought one of these clubs the other day secondhand here in the UK and it has exactly the same shaft in.  No problems with it though, and its a brilliant club too.
