I have been thinking about old clubs I have owned and in particular a Taylor Made Burner I once owned with an Aldila HM40 graphite shaft. I could hit that club further than anything else I have ever owned. This was 20 years ago so I may have slowed down a little but does anyone know of a great shaft that should be brought back.

I have requested so more information about the HM40 to golfclubshaftreview.com who have helped me out in the past for obscure requests. Does anyone have one knocking about in their garage? If so, go try it out again.

While not an old shaft I think the fubuki alpha, is the best shaft ive ever used.

I have been hitting a Callaway Razr fit 10.5 driver, I purchased 2 other shafts to try other that the stock shaft... absolutely love the project X 5.5 blue shaft. I get great distance with this club, but what impresses me is that my nice little draw is almost always in the fairway... I'm thinking about ordering a new Project X shaft just to try out their newest offering...

previous favorite shafts were by Diamana, I normally don't like the factory shafts on any drivers.

I had success with a couple of Fuji Speeders in the late 90's - 550 somethings - in driver. Smooth, didn't make me work hard.

Will be trying an Oban Revenge 50 series soon.

Ping G400 Max 9/TPT Shaft, TEE EX10 Beta 4, 5 wd, PXG 22 HY, Mizuno JPX919F 5-GW, TItleist SM7 Raw 55-09, 59-11, Bettinardi BB39

Fujikura Speeders are indeed smooth.

If it's been 20 years, I'd probably make sure you're using the right flex if anything.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By Shindig · Posted

      Day 37, June 10.  Today was primarily WFH, so I had several practice sessions (indoors, off a mat, into the net).  At least one each of U, 9, and 6-iron full swings with the usual priority.   I also tried a few times a putting type stroke with my 4H, as something I should probably learn how to hit (and what it does), but the mechanical shot at home off a mat doesn't tell me much of what it's doing.  That's something I should probably try on a real green, not during a round until I've tried it.

      Day 10 (10 Jun 26) - Played in the midweek shootout at my home course - on aerated and sanded greens - day of trying to figure tempo to get the best roll on the greens.  Approach game was decently solid as was shots off the tee.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Ok, I'm trying to find a feel to hit a consistent ball flight (irons).  My current predicament.  1. I try to do the arms down stuff better, with the club feeling like it is way behind me more. It's just a cluster of results. Most of the time, I can't get any speed on the swing. If I get my arms down faster, I just throw them out.  2. I focus all my attention on turning better. Pushing off with my left leg and getting my right side through better. On the DTL view, this doesn't produce anywhere close where the hands and club should be. The result is usually ball first contact, lower ball flight, more centered contact.  At this point, I am going with option 2. Stop thinking about what the hands do. Just make a shorter backswing, keep it wide, turn through. Somehow, the club head finds the ball. My focus is so much on just making sure I turn, it's like, "Oh, that contact was better.... Oh, that bell flight looks playable." If not, I will just be practicing my entire summer.

      Nope, they spent too much money. They are in over 28 million on the football roster and related NIL compensation at this point. Boosters associated with any Texas college football team has HUGE sway. The AD is between a rock and a hard place. They put a lot of money into Sorsby, at the chance of winning a NC this year. If you move on, you basically wasted a lot.  This is why Ohio State wants 3 QB's they feel can start. That is why the backups the past 5 years at some point transfer. Texas Tech has no backup near the quality of Sorsby. If they move on, they are screwed for 2026.

      Maybe there's something I still don't understand about the situation. Wouldn't Texas Tech do itself a favor to move on from Sorsby at this point?
