  1. Follow up as i am learning about shaft trimming. Are you stating you cut a half inch off the tip end already from the Driver project or was that from the butt end? I have the GWX on my 3 wood and i do like it just feel like possible tightening the whippyness a little. Same as my driver. As spin rate seems a little too high. Driver around 2800 and 3 wood 3800. Also did you decrease the loft on the 3 wood like in the driver or left standard?
  2. Want to provide an update: Been able to use multiple simulators now. Golfzon, Trackman, Full Swing. I am a member at a Sim with Full Swing so it is my most used sim (3-5x a week and play in a league). Id say on average my backspin on my driver on Full Swing is around 2500-2600 ball speed around 155-165, with my drive mainly being baby draw to big draws. No really any slices except more pushes/ push fade. Of course had drive that were in the 3000-4000 spin rate. Club head speed here showing 108-115 Trackman I was able to play one session. Mainly getting spin rates around 2600 again but had some drive going 265 carry with 3200 spin rate. Ball speed around 160. Few drive with spin rate around 1800-2200 but those were more low drives. Club head about the same as Full Swing (108-114). Id say playing mostly a draw but some fades rather than the push on full swing. Golfzon id say average spin rate was showing around 3000, feel like i couldn't get below 2800 on my drive. I have played this sim about 3 time with the OttoPhlex. Carry mainly going 265-280 on those 3200 spin rate drives. Club head speed id say was about the same and same as ball speed. Just seem to be playing more Fade/slice and small draws. For reference gaming the GPLB A 45g cut down to 45in playing with a TSi3 set to 9.25 degree D1.5. Small test of the GPLB GWX in the PING g425 3wood playing at 43in, felt goo just maybe need to cut down and might want it a little stiffer. Only tested on Golfzon but want to test on full swing and trackman as well.
  3. So I order the GPL GWX as I plan to test this out in my 3 wood as well. What would you recommend the cut length be for the 3 wood, the same I play it at or a little shorter? Also, just a general question/advice. If I want to start working on the shafts myself where should I start to learn what to do?
  4. That's good to know. I have a pretty good relationship with the store as I run a Foundation and Golf outing and always go to them for gifts/raffle items. When i brought the shaft there to be made i was talking to the club maker about it and he was confused at first with my SS and going to A flex shaft. I told him about "OttoPhlex". When I picked it up he said he put the swing weight to D1 and that he looked up this forum and gave it a read, was curious how it turns out.
  5. So my driver is TSi3 at 10° at B1 setting. I turned it to C1 setting to get it down to 9.25°. Need to spend some more time with it but do enough the load feel I get with it. As for the disbursement and control. It does feel a bit better. I play a draw as I spent so much time fixing over the top when I first started golfing that it takes every fiber in my body to swing out to in now so I always swing in to out. So my misses are big draws/hooks. They did feel tighter and was a point on the range had 4 drives land within 5 yards of each other. Feel like with my Oban I have to been completely on for that to happen. Going to be test it more this weekend and might try to test on another simulator to compare the spin rate. Going to try to get a 30 minute session at PGASS.
  6. Okay so had my first swings with my GPLB 45 A flex shaft D1 swing weight Right now distance is a little longer/same as my Oban 04 65gram shaft. Backspin is a little higher at 2700-2800 rpm, lowest I got was 2500rpm. As with my Oban lowest I get is 2300 RPM. Not sure if the Full Swing simulator reads it a bit higher. Yardages are around 275 carry with rollout to 292. Swing speeds is 110-115mph as my Oban is usually 108-112. Ball speed was around 155-165mph. Still some more testing to do, also need to dial in driver swing. Was thinking on adjust swing weight to either D0 or D1.5 to see a difference either way. I do enjoy that fact that I can feel the load better in the GPLB. I feel like in my Oban (not sure since its Pured) I have a hard time feeling it load. Plus when I have a lower SS on some drives like a 105, the GPLB feels better.
  7. When cutting down the shaft, do you recommend going from tip or butt end? I plan on cutting down to 45in as well just curious which end? Also I have a buddy who is interested but swings around 120mph, do you think the R flex or A Flex would be better starting point?
  8. Sorry I meant A, I got the senior flex shaft for OttoPhlex. By 45" are you meaning the playing length with driver head included?
  9. So I purchased the PLB in S flex, an adapter for my TSi3. As someone who can't really tweak/adjust on my own. Should I just have it made to my current driver shaft length (I'm 5'6 with a swing speed of ~110mph max) of 44.75 or think should just get the PLB cut to 45. Then for swing weight, would just be add/removing weight from the driver head correct?
  10. I've been following this topic and was linterested in giving this a try. I was on Golfworks to order the PLB but never order just a shaft before and a bit confused on the butt and tip trimming section and playing length by just ordering the shaft. Currently I play a Tsi3 at 45in length and would like to try the PLB at that as well. I assume I would have to order the adapter for the Tsi3 myself?
