vandyland Posted November 21, 2022 Share Posted November 21, 2022 (edited) This thread is either informing or poisoning my brain. Like others have stated above it has me looking at my whole bag differently now. I have a 5 wood with a warped shaft that I just KNOW is going to get a senior flex put into it. So then when does that trickle down into the irons? Oh lord.... Also, just to be sure, GPLB shaft is "butt trim only" correct? So if I was putting it into a 5 wood we would just install it and then butt trim until it got to a playing length of 42"?

I think the only senior flex option is in the 44g which looks like it W1, but if I stepped up to the regular shaft at 64g then it would be W2: Another interesting piece is how much the torque changes from the 44g to the 64g shaft even in the same relative "flex" as the Regular in 44g has 5.0* of torque vs 3.2* of torque. cksurfdude 1 Quote STZ 230 9.5* PinHawk SLF 16* STZ 230 Hybrid 21.25* MALTBY TS1-IM 5-GW Equalizer II 54* Glide 4.0 (S) 58* L.A.B.

Allen Posted November 22, 2022 Share Posted November 22, 2022 I put a 45 Play length into my ZX7 for long, open, par 4's and 5's with 10 - 15 yards further. Put a 44 play length into my ZX5 - for tight par fours; and put a 42 Play length into my TSI2 5 wood. I can use the 44 ZX5 off the deck with ease - took my 3 wood out of the bag as the 44 ZX5 gives me my former length but much tighter dispersion. All have GPLB 45 shafts butt trimmed. L flex in the drivers; A flex in the 5 wood. I love to "tinker" especially when the results really pay off. Irons next?? Maybe. It has been since the original Great Big Bertha came out (1980's) since I have had so much fun. vandyland, PACK7483, Bobbers and 4 others 3 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vandyland Posted November 22, 2022 Share Posted November 22, 2022 While I wait for my Prolaunch shaft to arrive, I feel like the next test (for me) is to do battle between a stiff -- regular -- senior flex 5 wood or 7 wood. I have historically struggled with fairway woods and I wonder now if it is down to flex. I already know the outcome with the stiff flex so it will just be used to get baseline numbers and count the amount of low, weak right shots that I get from them (note: A LOT). I have always been intrigued by 7 woods but I have found that stiff flex 7 woods were previously hard to find. Well, not regular or senior flex 7 woods! And I think that is what I actually probably need to get a better release, launch etc. Same with utility irons. And then I will have to start messing with different flexes of irons. All winter long maybe? I should just go ahead and buy the 10 pack of simulator visits to Golf Galaxy. cksurfdude 1 Quote STZ 230 9.5* PinHawk SLF 16* STZ 230 Hybrid 21.25* MALTBY TS1-IM 5-GW Equalizer II 54* Glide 4.0 (S) 58* L.A.B.

Imitation is one of the sincerest forms of flattery, right? And doing it at a price point 90% lower? Even better.

Unknown, I'd buy a 7iron head and try a regular flex as a starter. I went from reg graphite shafts to stiff super light the opposite way but I hit them much straighter, I'm a believer in the driver lady flex shaft BUT not for irons based on what happened going stronger flex irons which was and accident, I was planning on changing the stiff flex for rev flex because I wanted the Mizuno iron head...

I went with the Fuji Air Speeder 45 regular in a PXG 0311XF driver and a Fuji Air Speeder 45 senior (tipped 1") in a PXG 3 wood.
