Hi there im looking to buy a 2nd hand Talormade Superfast 2.0 Club but i have a choice of 2 but they both have different shafts and was wondering on your opinions.....

the 1st is the Matrix Ozik Xcon 4.8

the 2nd is a Bassara 53 x5ct shaft that is 1 INCH SHORTER than the standard club

now im not sure about shafts so i was hoping you knowledgable people may be able to help me ?

one more thing what kind of distance could you be likely to lose between a 10.5 and a HT (13) ??

many thanks for your time

The stock length is a bit on the long side with the superfast, so taking an inch off probably won't hurt you. I play a 44.5" shaft in my superfast. I'm pretty sure they are 46" stock. I've never tried a driver with more than 10.5* of loft, so I can't comment there. But I know they are good for reducing excessive side spin.

Between the shorter length, and the extra loft, you will most likely ADD length (that is, if you are going from 10.5° to 13°).  But if you are going from 13° to 10.5°, at a shorter length, you might not notice any loss in distance due to the ability to have more center-of-face strikes.

Hey - if your SS is in the low to mid 80's, the 13 with a real aftermarket Bassara with the 45.5 inch length is most likely the better choice if you're smooth. The swing weight will be light unless it it hot melted. But a decent fitter can add hot melt to bring up the weight -- or a few strips of lead tape will bring it up nicely.

It appears you're just starting to learn how the different parts influence what a golf club does. This is a solid step toward really understanding the game, and your swing.

You might want to get a driver fitting to see what you really need. Then, if either of these two clubs is what you need, buy one. Mr. Desmond is on target about matching shaft to swingspeed.

Or, the fitting might match you up with a different driver/shaft altogether. If you buy a new driver, often the fitting is free. And, a driver fitting - be sure to keep the printout sheets - can tell you a lot about your overall swing, and give info to help you in selecting other clubs.

Focus, connect and follow through!

      Water in Bunker

      By iacas ·

      You’ve yet to propose anything else. And yet it was, and the rules tell you how to deal with it. Your question has been answered. The Committee can declare them GUR. I disagree with your assessment of common sense. 😀 And yet they didn’t really change this one. Looks like this is about wrapped up? “That Rule is So Unfair!” A Rules Geek’s Generalized Guide to Hot Takes and Overreactions | Rules Geeks I apologize for the length of this post.

      Water in Bunker

      By anaveragehacker ·

      When you are penalized for hitting into the sand trap the penalty is having to hit it out of the sand, not out of three inches of water. A sand trap is not the same as a water hazard. A sand trap is not supposed to be under water. It is a unique condition caused  by weather and poor drainage. Most local leagues like ours allow the free drop in this type of situation, as long as there is no area in the bunker to legally drop. This is what I’m talking about, sometimes the official rules of golf don’t align with common sense. That’s why they are finally starting to change them. For example, when wind blows your ball off the green. That was a stupid rule. People being able to call the tv network to say they saw a players ball move. That was a stupid rule. I’m just saying, these are rules made up a long time ago, and it’s time to modernize them.

      Consider it another way: normally, it's a two-stroke penalty to move your ball out of a bunker (unplayable). The ACC reduces it to just one.

      No, hitting into a hazard that is supposed to be avoided and is designed to be penalizing is not the same as hitting it into the middle of the fairway.   You are penalized because you hit it into a hazard. Based on your logic let's say you hit it into a red staked penalty area and you could normally play it but it's in temporary casual water from rain. Would you expect a free drop from there too??

      They could have declared it GUR, sure. It is. It's temporary water, and as I said before, an abnormal course condition (ACC). That's what rule 16 is about — ACCs. No, a bunker ≠ the middle of the fairway. You are penalized because you hit it into a bunker. As for the rest… let's stick to the topic. Yep.
