  • Who else is a part of the driver/shaft of the month club?

ForeLeft have a birthday round for a good friend Saturday. I'm going to pull the plastic off on the first tee box and see what it does, haha.

    dphatt used this shaft for about two years 70 g X flex (ss 124), tipped to 43.5. it was incredibly smooth. Very underrated shaft imo.

      So I played with the Epic Flash Triple Diamond with the Accra TZ6 today for 9 holes. It looks to have kept its place in the bag. Money match tmr so let’s see how it performs under some pressure.

      "If I hit the fairway with this ball, Epic Flash will stay in the bag for the rest of the year." -dp

      I can confirm that fairway was hit.

        Took out the DF, played while carrying a camera, no warmup, and I didn't like what I saw.

        It's not so much the perfect swings, whether they produced great flights or not, the more I become a casual golfer, I'm seeing how shaft choices affect days where your swing is just off. Does it contribute to blocking it off the planet, or help mitigate bad contact?

        I didn't hit a single drive solid the entire round. Front 9 I played with the DF and was in places I haven't been in a long time (in a bad way), and the back 9 with the BF, I mishit every drive, but was in the fairway every time.

        So, for now, back to the BF, it's not the longest, but for days when all the swing matchups aren't there, it helps keep the ball in play. I like that instead of going with a higher lofted head, going with a mid kick shaft is what converts the SIM into a fairway finder.

        Yeah. What driver head do you play right now?

            NICE. Can't wait to hear about this....

                Eddie that was your ball in the fairway ten yards ahead of me on your miss hit drive while mine was in the rough behind you even with a cart path assist 😂

                  Eddie Have you tried the ZF at all? From what I've read it is a BF with a reinforced tip section. Should probably play somewhere inbetween the df and the bf.

                    Golfingfanatic I had it in a 50tx, was solid but a little stiffer than I prefer. Maybe a 60s will be next.

                        Eddie M3 440 for now. I’m listing my M6 and TZ6 combo most likely just to avoid going back and forth. Less options make for an easy decision 😂

                          ckay reason I ask is if you want to try out the DF I can send it to you.

                              Eddie thanks for the offer Eddie, I may hit you up on that later on in the season if you still have it. Very limited golf for me and even less access to ranges here in NY. Thanks so much though, that’s a really cool gesture 🤙

                                Well???? Wolff had one of these in his three wood yesterday, I like the tapered look to silver by the tip.

                                  I'm a freaking idiot by the way.

                                  So I was bitching about the BF60 turning over too much, especially when I play a hard fade. Well I have it set at one click higher than normal and the SIM weight in the heel.

                                  Set it back to standard, threw the weight up in the toe, and high soft draws, which for me, NEVER happens, I'm king fader. So we will see how this goes, but BF back in the bag. The saga continues.

                                  And for elbow pain people like me, softer tipped shafts definitely make a difference, when you get jammed up with a tip stiff shaft and that thing doesn't kick, it hurts, a lot.

                                  Welp....with all the speed I've gained from the G box...I'm going to test out an X flex.

                                  Just ordered a Oban Kiyoshi HB 65g X flex. V excited.

                                  Eddie How does the BF compare to the Ventus Blue in the SIM? Really wanting the SIM to find a place in my bag but haven't found the right combo yet.

                                    Similar but the tip section on the BF is soft. I made the mistake of not tipping my BF, really wishing I had just a little bit, but otherwise, pretty similar.
