sumadoggie 17 Posted March 31, 2019 Share Posted March 31, 2019 (edited) Getting fit for new shaft. I have lots of experience with $$$ Obans, UST Mamiyas, Project Xs, Padersons, Fujikuras, etc. I've been playing Paderson for about two and a half years and love their smooth liner release. What has come on the market in the past couple years that is marketed as low spin and low/mid-low launch, which doesn't have an overly "boardy" feel? I've hit the Even Flow and do like it, but I'm wondering what else might fit the bill? I'm 115-120mph; about 13 launch; mid-agressive tempo. Thanks!

Thanks!Tensei Pro White or Pro Orange maybe even the Kuro Kage XD.I have heard the new Diamana BF and DF have that Diamana feel with low spin. I am sure there are others out there. That said if you are getting fit for a shaft then why limit yourself. Try everything they have and then make a decision.

GB13 7,784 Posted April 1, 2019 Share Posted April 1, 2019 I agree get fit, and go from there, but I LOVE the Diamana DF. I have the slightly older version in my 3W (and soon driver) and it is the best shaft I have ever played. Really smooth feeling, and nice low spin, with low-mid launch.

I'd be interested to hear if anyone plays Accra. I had one in my bag about five years ago and it was great.

I'd be interested to hear if anyone plays Accra. I had one in my bag about five years ago and it was great. I currently play the Accra TZ5 which is extremely low spin/low launch (I had to add loft to my driver) from what I've seen. It doesn't feel that boardy but is very stable. I also tried the TZ6 which launches a little higher and spins slightly more, but feels great. They are both great shafts to try.

PapaBear47 2 Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 I currently play the TZ6 60g M5. In a fitting it came to that or the Diamana DF. Does anyone know the major differences between the two?

redregal 6 Posted July 24, 2019 Share Posted July 24, 2019 Take a look at the VA Composites shafts the Slay. It is no the lower price point but still a great shaft. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fixyurdivot 17,469 Posted July 29, 2019 Share Posted July 29, 2019 I agree there are too many shafts . Part of me is happy my fitter had a rather limited selection as compared to say a Club Fitter store, and the other part of me wonders if not having a 100 to choose from and test leaves my new G410's at less than optimal. The latter is probably the case but I doubt to much disadvantage. I left it up to the PING Engineers. My reasoning is that I feel PING is among the few major club mfgs. that strives to make players better - or a least that's as important to them as profit. I hit the AWT 2.0 shafts more consistently than the few others tested. I believe solid design analysis and test yielded the AWT 2.0 shaft option for these and other irons they offer. Recently, I've been seeing ads for a new steel like composite shaft (VSS??). A vibration dampening shaft is the one area I was interested in but that my fitter had even fewer options. From comments on other threads, it seems many have switched to composite and are liking the results - both ball flight performance and less joint related pain. 1 Quote G410 Plus, 9 Degree Driver G400 SFT, 16 Degree 3w G400 SFT, 19 Degree 5w ZX5 Irons 4-AW Glide 2.0 56 Degree SW (removed from double secret probation ) ER5v Putter (Evnroll ER5v Official Review) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
therod 92 Posted August 13, 2019 Share Posted August 13, 2019 I've got an Xcaliber Pro T6* that I really like. Had it in a Geek DCT. Just recently put an adapter on it and put it in my F7+. Haven't hit the F7+ with that shaft yet though. From personal experience, anything from Xcaliber is high quality stuff. Robin Arther is a shaft genius.

Golfmanufaktur 30 Posted September 5, 2019 Share Posted September 5, 2019 If you like a stable shaft with a smooth feel, you can always opt for ACCRA TZ or TourZ Extreme series. Another manufacturer known for the combination of stable, lower launching profiles that have a smooth feel, is Graphite Design. The Tour AD-BB or the TP might be a nice option for you.

My swing speed is the same, I play the Aldila Xtorsion Copper X Stiff shaft. I love it. Very smooth feel. I feel in control of the club throughout the swing. And it looks amazing. Definitely worth a try!
