This should be good. I’m gonna hit their Brava driver shaft in a couple hours.

Maiden voyage was very good. The BGT Brava X driver shaft was paired with the Ping g430 lst. The waggle feel is very similar to the Autoflex. Everyone knows that feeling when you give the new driver/shaft combo a little waggle and you see the shaft flex back and forth. First thought was how am I gonna keep this from going left on me, however after the first swing that thought was gone. Yes I still turned it over easily but no where near hooking it. 
There is what feels like considerable flex in the shaft until the downswing. It’s has a perfect for me kick while actually feeling really stable. I did hit one high toe and there was no twisting of the head or snap hooking. It’s strange as I have never felt anything like it. 
 

One thing I did notice was when I moved the weight towards the toe. It created considerable toe droop that changed the feel and caused me to hit the ground before the ball. After 3 swings of the same thing I moved the weight back to center and all was right with the world. 

Distance was hard to judge but the numbers were close to what I see on the course. I plan on getting some actual numbers tomorrow after work before my first official league matchup.  
 

Now the biggest surprise was spin and launch from this combo. I was consistently in the 12* launch and 2300-2500 range. Heck Yeah!  I don’t have numbers yet from a competitor shaft as the only other shaft I hit(yesterday) was an Autoflex 505(20* launch, 3000-3300 spin). Not the 505xx which would be closer in fit. 
 

Overall I’m very excited about this combo moving forward.  I didn’t expect massive swing speed gains because I already played a 50g class shaft and ain’t getting any younger lol. But if I can get this feel with a slight uptick in fairways hit while living in the 265-285 yard range, sign me up!

sounds like you found a great combo.

after talking with the guys at BGT. Sounds like they are off to a great start for a small company. 

The putter shaft seems to be doing well, I have one on the bench for testing, we know the wedge shaft can work and now for the driver shaft. probably a bit later when the swing comes back but black and gold seemed like it during his fitting

Finally got the first night of winter sim league done. We played the back 9 at The Old Course.  Opponents had a scheduling conflict on Monday.  The G430 lst/BGT Brava X combo continues to shine.  Drove the par 4 12th to 30 ft and made the eagle for a nice skin.   They are wide fairways but I only missed one.
