therod Posted August 12, 2019 Share Posted August 12, 2019 I am just curious if anyone has played a high balance point shaft in their driver, and what difference it made if any. I am looking at options to try something different in my F7+, and since I have never played a counter balance shaft, I'm curious to try one.

cnosil Posted August 12, 2019 Share Posted August 12, 2019 There is a video on the TXG YouTube channel that talks about counter balanced shafts and what they do. Some of the stock shafts in the Ping G400 line have counterbalanced shafts. For me it provides nothing that I notice but I haven’t compared side by side on a launch monitor. If you want to try counter balancing, use some lead tape or get the the boccieri grip for your driver. https://www.golfworks.com/boccieri-golf-secret-grip/p/bg0001/Basically it adds weight to the butt end to lighted swingweight when using heavy driver heads. Supposed to make swing more consistent and faster.

One without feels VERY head-heavy, and I hate that feel! The Kuro Kage I had in a Mizuno Head was not counterbalanced and I had to get rid of the driver just because I hated that really heavy feel.

therod Posted August 13, 2019 Author Share Posted August 13, 2019 I know what counter-balancing does, just wondered if anyone had much experience with it. I recently bought a weight kit for my F7+, and put heavy weights in it. I was debating on putting a counter-balanced shaft in it since the head is heavier with the weights in it. I actually ordered a Kuro Kage hbp shaft to try, so we'll see. One way to find out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McGolf Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 Counter balance shaft are great for some people. It typically is not a massive change but a tweak in the swing. IMO smoother swingers with a good transition really do good with this type of shaft. But as we all know, everyone is different and as soon as we say yup this is it for all, someone pops up and says the opposite. I would think if you added weights to make it heavier and now are looking for more weight in the butt section why not just take the weights out of the head and put back the originals? cnosil 1 Quote Driver - 44.5" 5.0 flex 10.5 deg Graphite Design XC 6S GP MCC4+ 1 deg closed Irons - 5-pw, GW stnd length 5.0 flex same grip 1 deg flat.

txgolfjunkie Posted August 15, 2019 Share Posted August 15, 2019 I was fitted for a driver last summer and we went through 6 different shafts, 4 regular shafts and 2 CB. The Oban Kiyoshi Black and Tour Limited performed ever so slightly better (i.e. tighter dispersion and better carry consistency) for me than the Oban Kiyoshi HB (CB) shaft. More than anything it was about feel, similar to regular weighted vs counter balanced putters. I didn't like the feel of the HB shaft over the regular weighted shaft. I couldn't feel the club head at the top of the swing and thus my reason to go with the Oban Black.

chershey Posted August 16, 2019 Share Posted August 16, 2019 I struggle with CB shafts in my driver.

therod Posted August 16, 2019 Author Share Posted August 16, 2019 My thinking is if I can put a cb shaft in and get a lighter feel, I can then add weight to the sole, getting it back to more of a standard sw and feel, yet get the benefits, even if they are minor, in forgiveness, launch, and spin.

As a smooth swinger, true counter balanced shafts are pretty much all I play in my drivers. I like a shorter driver 44.25" - 44.5" and a counter balanced shaft allows me to play a heavier head. I have played a Rogue Black Tour 110 for quite a few years and I am now playing the Tensei Orange. Counter balanced shafts provide an excellent combo of feel and added distance thanks to a heavier head. Maltenator and RI_Redneck 2 Quote Driver: Qi10 10.5* ...

I am playing counterbalanced Tensei CK Orange shafts in my driver 3 wood 3, 4 hybrids now, and I can tell where the club head is throughout my whole swing. This has simply killed any slice or power fade I've had in my swing. I am now hitting draws, and hitting in the center of clubface 95% of the time consistently and getting the club face closed, when coming across the ball for my draw. I have never been able to do this before. I love the feel of the heavier head as well. I'm one of those that although not proven, I can control a heavier feeling club more, but still keep my clubhead swing speed up.

It is a little different counter balancing a putter you are swinging slowly and a golf club you are swinging fast. So much engineering goes into a modern shaft and fabricating a counter balance can throw off everything from balance to overall weight. The main reason for counter balancing a driver is to play it at a shorter length with more weight in the head. That said, there is certainly nothing wrong with experimenting!

I may be a good candidate. I play my driver at 44 or 43.5. I usually have to add about 20g to the head after shortening the shaft to get the swing weight back up.

chisag Posted August 22, 2019 Share Posted August 22, 2019 ... Keep in mind you are actually increasing the total weight of the club. It really is just tricking the swing weight scale. Now, going to a much lighter shaft and then adding lead tape to the butt and head for counterbalancing can keep overall weight where you want it. ... I am a big believer in experimenting for fun if all it involves is adding some lead tape. The brain is just so complex and interesting. I played a Fly Z out in LA several years ago and changed to a non counter balanced shaft with the heavy 16gm weight in the rear. I hit it really well for about a month. Came back home and checked it on my swing weight scale and found it was D8!?!? Granted I was choking up 1/2" but once I found out it was much heavier than I normally play, I began spraying it all over the place. Nothing changed but my knowledge but I went from killing it to missing both right and left. We humans are strange people. cnosil and Rtracymog 2 Quote Driver: Qi10 10.5* ...

RI_Redneck Posted September 12, 2019 Share Posted September 12, 2019 I have an F7 with an X-Torsion Copper 70TX that I play regularly. I built it to see what the difference would be compared to my typical drivers with non CB shafts. I prefer a SW of D6+/- and a total weight of 330-340g. With non CB shafts, the head weight is typically around 207g. With the Copper, I had to take it to 212g to get my preferred feel. Did the extra 5g give me any yds? Not that I've noticed. However, my driver's are already optimized, so there probably isn't much to gain with tweaking. IMHO, CB shafts have a better opportunity helping this whose drivers ARE NOT optimized. Say a player wants a slightly lighter head-feel than what they currently have. A CB shafts can give that without changing the headweight at all. Or maybe they are having issues getting the desired combination of total weight and swingweight with a standard shaft. A CB shafts will allow higher total weight without getting the SW too high.

It is designed for aggressive high swing speed golfers. The tip is stiff to the point tour pros were having a hard time turning the ball over which led to the hzrdus red to come out which is a hzrdus black with a softer tip the Yellow has a straight taper profile and the counterbalance works well with various head weights and golfers with smoother tempo/transitions.

Jim Sauer Posted March 4, 2020 Share Posted March 4, 2020 Every time I read a posting about counterbalanced shafts they always circle back to the same thing. Adding butt weights, heavier grips. lead tape under the grips, etc.. "Jack used to do it". You guys are missing the point and that's a whole different conversation. Every time you add weight to the butt end of the shaft you are adding to the total weight of the club. Counterbalanced shafts are designed at specific weights to achieve this without increasing total weight. If you have a certain targets your trying to attain, (total weight, swing weight, MOI, etc.) counterbalanced shafts may allow you to reach those targets when standard balanced shafts cannot., My current set up is a Epic Flash SZ, 50 gram Iomic grip, and Fubuki J 59 gram X-stiff at about 45". Because the Fubuki J is very counterbalanced I was able to added about 4 grams to the head, maintain the feel I want, and stay within the total weight perimeters that fit me best. I could not have done this with standard weight shafts. Set up works great for me. Fubuki J is more counter balanced than most I have tried and is a great shaft. Compared to a VA composites Nemesys that TXG said was their highest balance point shaft and the Fubuki was a full inch higher. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
