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.

the 1st club is a 10.5 and the second club is the HT (13) so is that shaft on the 2nd club any good ? so maybe i would be better off with the shorter shaft HT then ?

its all soooo confusing lol

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!

      Turning Stone - Thoughts & Updates?

      By StuM · Posted

      I was recently told that Turning Dtone in New York is a nice overall resort and they’ve they have 3 courses as well as many other amenities. A quick TST search turned up older threads with a lot of comments on how difficult the courses are. Does anybody know if they have “relaxed” the courses over the years or are they still hard as far as resort courses go? I do not mind a hard course but my wife can get frustrated but if good scenery and good course conditions she may still enjoy a hard course. What are your thoughts on their courses and the resort in general? Edited for typos

      Day 9 - (9 Jun 26) - Weekly nine hole session with my good friend, I played again from one set of tees up from my usual (set up the bag 4h, 6i-Pw, Gw, Lw) to focus more on iron play in the approaches (esp longer ones on the 4's and 5's).  Used the hybrid for tee shots only, had to play irons in from there on....made for a great work on course management and dealing with iron shots I normally don't see.  Key focus was on keeping ball in play, playing to distances that set up for either GiR or nGiR's.  Played a split nine (5 on the front, 4 on the back - the turn works nicely as both nines turn and run parallel coming in - easy to jump from 5 to 15 (especially when the course is not busy)).  Worked with my friend on his course management skills - offering thoughts as a "caddie" might and helping him to confidently choose and execute the shot he was seeing.
