Yea I don't know why they try and fool us. I know for a fact my delivery guy shows up around 5 everyday.

revkev Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 It was the shaft. I got home from work around 9 last night. I haven't opened it yet but will this mornin. Just waiting on my adapter to arrive and I will take over to my club repair guy. I should be able to hit some shots by the end of this week. It's supposed to be cold so I may start with the LM. Usually I like to start a test outside, range to course and save the LM for last. But as I get older playing golf when it's in the low 50's has lost its luster.

wbealsd Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 Ice everywhere with high winds this morning... Planned on getting to town and getting the shaft installed in my spare adapter but it looks like that's going to happen tomorrow, at the earliest... I think the "weave" on the shaft is very distinctive and attractive. I'm really antsy now that the shaft is here, but I can't do anything but stare at it...

wbealsd Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 Road conditions look better today, so I'm planning to get the shaft installed in my "spare" adapter today. Ice and wind yesterday was so bad the local news had about 10 minutes of coverage on accident reports and interviews last night... Glad I stayed home! At least I got some fresh launch monitor data on the stock shaft that came with my driver, and that's the one that's getting pulled for the Paderson.

revkev Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 Okay I'm tired of feeling like boob here - I've asked several people about this without a direct answer. Hopefully someone here will help and in the end it doesn't matter because my club repair guy will figure it out: Obviously the shaft is full length (46"). If the tip is already prepared does the repair guy cut the top of the shaft to get it to the proper length? I know how equipment performs, I don't know as much or in fact much of anything about how to repair it.

I know how equipment performs, I don't know as much or in fact much of anything about how to repair it. Thanks You're club guy will do this already, but you are correct. Paderson did a 1" tip prep already, with the SLDR adapter he will probably sand down a little more. Insertion depth is 1.5" on those. Once the tip is installed he will cut the butt end down to your desired playing length. Instructions from Paderson are to butt cut only, no tip cutting allowed.

wbealsd Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 Butt cut - got it - that's the word I was looking for - thanks. I wanted to start off with the shaft cut at the "stock" 46" length, but I'll probably get it cut to match the Fujikura EXS that I've been using sometime next week. If I can manage to control the Paderson at 46" as well as I do the other shaft, that will be great but if not, then it's a more accurate comparison to match the shaft length I'm used to, anyway. I've been gone most of the day and have to be away for most of the next couple of days, so I won't really be able to spend as much time as I'd like until the weekend.

I'm cutting it to exactly match the other three I'm testing which are all at the same length, and I've bought a second head to facilitate simultaneous comparisons. (That's the advantage of still using an old head, spares cost nothing.)

Apples to apples comparisons will probably be more useful, even if ideally the shaft might be better suited at a different length. I'm using the 913 D2 as my "Apples to Apples," since I have 2 adapters for it and wasn't using the stock Bassara shaft anymore. Made sure the fitter had the installation instructions when he installed the shaft but didn't remember I'd had the Fujikura cut down until I got home and compared the shafts side by side... If I'm lucky, I'll be able to control the Paderson as-is, this weekend. Anyway, now that I've noticed it, I'll match the length anyway, just to get the data to compare with the shafts at equal lengths.
