azstu324 Posted March 26, 2020 Share Posted March 26, 2020 (edited) Was able to get in 1 more round. Right now I'm I'm counting each round as a blessing knowing that my days of playing could come to an end at any moment. Today I tried a little experiment. Noting my launch angle from the sim between 13 and 14°, I did a comparison of 9.5° vs 8° loft setup. I've normally been hitting 9.5°. First shot with my usual setup.. Nailed it! I figured there wasn't much sense in reducing the loft.. but I went ahead for the sake of data collection. I think I'm glad I did.. Well surely this was just a lucky coincidence right?.. Nope, this from the next par 4.. The last one was a slight push that still ended up on the right side of the fairway. All 3 though we're almost scary straight. So my final pic.. I'm really hoping to use the funds from the sale of my Pro force V2 to by an X flex V2 to throw in the mix. Either way, I'm done with the V2 S flex.

Rtracymog Posted April 28, 2020 Share Posted April 28, 2020 So I was finally able to get out on the course for the first time today. I played 12 holes and quit due to blisters. I hit the driver 9 times including on some holes I normally would not. These were the first swings in about 4 weeks, so maybe I could chalk up some of the misses to being rusty but I noticed the same big right miss that I did in the last range session I posted. I truly only hit one fairway, but I give myself credit for piping one into a greenside bunker on a rope and hitting one through a fairway. So I would say I was 3/9 for the day. I still like the feel of the shaft, but the misses were pretty big. I did hit multiple balls off a couple of tees and I the results were the same. So some promise, but lots to work on.Sent from my iPhone using MyGolfSpy bens197, revkev and goaliewales14 3 Quote Cortex w/MGS Motore X F1 7X tipped 1" F5 17 degree hybrid w/Rogue Black 85X C300 Forged 3-5 w/C-Taper 130X FG Tour V6 5-6 w/C-Taper 130X Staff Model Blade 7-PW w/C-Taper 130X RTX4 52, 56, 60 w/S400 Tour Issue ER7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
revkev Posted April 29, 2020 Share Posted April 29, 2020 I’ve been playing throughout but not commenting out of respect for the rest of my shut in team. Yesterday’s round was spectacular off the tee 10/13 fairways with driver, misses totally playable, nice little draw, I averaged 237 - much of the distance gain, nearly 20 yards since I put this shaft in, has come from SuperSpeed workouts but the accuracy? That’s all on the shaft. It’s allowing me to go at it hard and trust that I’m going to hit baby draw, every time. You can see it in my tracking app. Before the shaft went in I was hitting 60 percent of my fairways and misses were even left and right. With the shaft in I’m at 75 percent and misses now tilt left - I’m starting to eliminate a side when I tee off. That confidence let me absolutely drill one over the outer edge of the trees down the right side of a dogleg yesterday and turn a hole that’s normally driver 6 or 7 iron into driver 9 iron.Sent from my iPhone using MyGolfSpy Rtracymog, sirchunksalot, cnosil and 5 others 8 Quote Taylor Made Stealth 2 10.5 Diamana S plus 60 Aldila R flex - 42.25 inches SMT 4 wood bassara R flex, four wood head, 3 wood shaft Ping G410 7, 9 wood Alta 65 R flex Srixon ZX5 MK II 5-GW - UST recoil Dart 65 R flex India 52,56 (60 pending) UST recoil 75's R flex Evon roll ER 5 32 inches It's our offseason so auditioning candidates - looking for that right mix of low spin long, more spin around the greens - TBD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s amazing accuracy off the tee. Can’t wait to see what it does for you once you’re in mid-season form. Sent from my iPhone using TapatalkI’ve always been a very accurate driver of the golf ball. My best sustained handicap was a three year or so period of time where I was between a .5 and 1.5 index. I was in my mid 50’s at that time. I was short off the tee to be in the 0-5 handicap group 230-240 on average. That’s giving away 15 to 20 yards. You have to make that up somehow. I actually made it up a little here and a little there with accuracy off the tee and chipping being my two best attributes. Chipping remains that factor which keeps me around a 5 today - according to ARCOSS I’m a scratch chipper of the ball. More important here my driving handicap has plunged into single digits and that’s brought my overall handicap index down nearly a point.

MIgregb Posted May 5, 2020 Share Posted May 5, 2020 Man, loosening the play restrictions here in Michigan should have come weeks earlier! I kept rationalizing all kinds of golf purchases just to make myself feel like I’m still in the game during lock-down. Case in point, after re-reading MGS’s January story about the Motore X shaft for the 5th or 6th time, I just knew I needed one. Which one? Who knows! I had no way to get fitted or even visit a launch monitor to compare. So, I did the only reasonable thing I could – I bought one! My swing speed is in the 95 mph range, when not coming out of my shoes, and the existing shaft in my Epic Flash SZ is 65 grams. So that means the F3 6R is perfect for me, right?? Oh, boy… I hope I haven’t spent $275 for nothing. I can tell you that there isn’t a discernible difference in the swing speed between the stock Tensei AV Blue and the Motore X (as measured by the little PRGR device I use at home). But my one range session since golf restrictions have eased has been encouraging from a consistency viewpoint. I just got my new light-weight carry bag delivered (my latest post-restriction purchase!!!) and plan on playing soon. I am very interested in the upcoming reviews by @azstu324, @dlow206, @goaliewales14, @revkev and @Rtracymog. I’m sure they will ALL confirm that I made the right decision!

I can understand where you're coming from with that. I don't notice the flight to be very high, but I do see the flight in my F1 to be a little higher than my gamer. Spin is slightly higher, but I think that some of that for me is that I can't seem to center it as well as my current shaft. When I make a good swing and center it, I don't really notice too many of those issues.

Rtracymog Posted May 5, 2020 Share Posted May 5, 2020 I took the girls to the range on Sunday morning. It's tough to do much work when you're trying to help a 4 and 7 year old stay somewhat focused, have fun and not get frustrated. With that being said, I did get a chance to do some driver work. I'm still very frustrated with my swing. I'm getting this out to in path through much of the bag. I need my shop to open up so that I can get on Trackman! I know how lucky I am to be able to see those numbers once they get on screen and to be able to adjust my swing accordingly. With that being said, I'm still getting a right miss that can be very unplayable. I know it's partly swing, but I threw my Rogue Silver in there and hit 2 or 3 (definitely still less than half) of the shots dead straight and long. I'm wondering if this tipped F1 might be too much to where I can't strike the center and/or get my face back to square as much as I need to. revkev, MIgregb and goaliewales14 3 Quote Cortex w/MGS Motore X F1 7X tipped 1" F5 17 degree hybrid w/Rogue Black 85X C300 Forged 3-5 w/C-Taper 130X FG Tour V6 5-6 w/C-Taper 130X Staff Model Blade 7-PW w/C-Taper 130X RTX4 52, 56, 60 w/S400 Tour Issue ER7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember when I first plugged the shaft in at 9.5* to match my previous loft, and did notice that my spin and launch were like 3000+ / 14* which is quite high from my prior stats 2800 / 12*. Once I dropped the loft to 8* and made some minor swing adjustments, I found I was squaring up with more frequency and my stats went back to 2400 / 12* and have resulted in a lower, more controllable, ball flight that has netted about 10 extra yds (for me) and with more frequency. It may just be the bend profile of the shaft and figuring out what adjustments to make. IMO, adding a new shaft can be like adding more horsepower to a car. If you don't tweak all of the other components to go with it, you may not see any results.. or may even lose performance.

dlow206 Posted May 8, 2020 Share Posted May 8, 2020 Made it out on the course yesterday for the first time in about two months. Something was really really off on my driver swing and trying to fix the swing made it worse. Finally, i used a "drill" to get myself in the right position and then from that paused position at the top, make a swing. Actually played some holes that way and hit on the range that way as well. With the Motore shaft and that crazy "drill" swing I was making, I was hitting the ball 220 to 230 yards into the fairway. That's not bad for me, and thats considering I was taking a swing from a completely paused position at the top. After the round, compared the Motore shaft to an Oban Kiyoshi Gold 65 I picked up. I think the Oban was smoother between the two shafts but the launch was too high with the Oban. sirchunksalot, goaliewales14, Rtracymog and 2 others 5 Quote Follow my golf journey to break into the 80s Tester for the Titleist TSi Driver Spring 2020 MGS Tester for the Fujikura Motore X Shaft Updated 07/15/2022 Driver: Rogue St Max LS - Autoflex Fairway Woods: Rogue Max St 3HL and 7 Wood Irons: JPX 921 Hot Metal 5 to AW - Aerotech Steelfiber i95 Stiff parallel tip Wedges: Glide 4.0 54 and 58 Putter: PLD Custom Kushin 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember when I first plugged the shaft in at 9.5* to match my previous loft, and did notice that my spin and launch were like 3000+ / 14* which is quite high from my prior stats 2800 / 12*. Once I dropped the loft to 8* and made some minor swing adjustments, I found I was squaring up with more frequency and my stats went back to 2400 / 12* and have resulted in a lower, more controllable, ball flight that has netted about 10 extra yds (for me) and with more frequency. It may just be the bend profile of the shaft and figuring out what adjustments to make. IMO, adding a new shaft can be like adding more horsepower to a car. If you don't tweak all of the other components to go with it, you may not see any results.. or may even lose performance. I have kept trying it and it is coming around. The last time out was WAY better. I was blown away the first time I played the Ventus, this one is taking a bit more to get used to. It honestly could just be to a long lay of due to covid and winter back to back. azstu324 and sirchunksalot 2 Quote Driver: Callaway Paradym Triple diamond 10.5 Ventus black TR 6x 3 wood ; Callaway Paradym triple diamond 15 degree, Ventus black TR 7x Apex UW 19 degree, Ventus black TR 8x Utility Iron: Mizuno Pro Fli Hi 4 utility, Ventus blue HB 90X Irons: Callaway Apex MB 5-PW, KBS $ taper 130x Wedges: Callaway Jaws Raw 50, 54, 58, KBS $ taper 130x Putter: Wilson Staff TM22, hand torched, KBS cutter putter shaft, Super stroke Pistol GT 1.0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goaliewales14 Posted May 10, 2020 Share Posted May 10, 2020 Hey guys! I was finally able to get back out today! The Motore X shaft performed great, but I wish my swing wasn't trying to shake off 2 months of rust. The one thing I really loved about today was that the shaft helped manage my bad swings. My drives did miss the fairway, but it wasn't near as bad as it should have been. Towards the last few holes, I was really starting to get back into the groove only to pipe the best drive I hit all day dead straight through the fairway into a fairway bunker.
