In addition, you need to measure from the sole to grip cap, not the other way around, and you need to use an angled plate set to a 60 degree angle to sole the club against when you take the measurement.

MIGregB Posted March 26 Share Posted March 26 Well, my 1st range session with the Newton shaft didn't go very well. I couldn't stop hitting the ball on the lower part of the club (not my normal miss). And the more I tried to adjust, the more out of sync I got. My plan was to compare my Motore X shaft against the Newton at an indoor range where they have Mevos available for use. I even brought 6 used ProVs that I would sacrifice to the range to get some data on a good, non-range ball once I felt I was swinging well. But I managed to forget the Cobra adapter sleeve, which is not fixed, for the universal shaft adapter I have on the Motore X, so that was out. All I could do is switch to other clubs to try and get some semblance of rhythm back, but that met with minimal success. I'm traveling to mid-Michigan for a couple of weeks where I should be able to get on a Trackman to try the comparison again, this time hitting nothing but my gamer balls. Hopefully I can get some credible data to decide whether the Newton is a keeper. Right now, I'm not sure there's a club in my bag that's a keeper!!

Erin B Posted March 27 Share Posted March 27 @CudaKota66 I feel ya, It took me multiple shafts to get the right one and they had to tip it to get it to work. Newton may not fit for you and that's ok. I am still a Steadfast fan but am going to stick with my 5 Dot in my Paradym TD. @Josh Parker said it right and I agree with both of you about their customer service. It's outstanding!

funkyjudge Posted March 27 Share Posted March 27 I played my Newton 4-Dot shaft the last two days before more rain came here. In 27 holes, I only missed 3 fairways (I used the driver on 20 out of 27 holes), and none of my misses were very far off of the fairways (every one of them missed slightly left; no "rights" with this shaft!). My driving distance was good to very good (232 to 267 yards, with an average drive of just over 251 yards, according to my Garmin S70 GPS watch). The Newton is staying in my Callaway Paradym driver, or it will go into the AI Smoke TD head that just arrived today.

Javs Posted March 27 Share Posted March 27 36 minutes ago, CudaKota66 said: Snap hook. Low grounders to 3rd base. The one fairway I hit, I intentionally altered my tempo. It was long & straight - I will admit - but not enough to displace a shaft I'm accustomed to & is paid for. Again, the is my opinion & my experience. I want to be careful to not disparage Newton & encourage everyone to experiment themselves. Personally, I'm not an Otto-Phlex guy either....I think the last tee shot with an OP shaft is still going OB right! Well you are correct as shafts as with all equipment is not one size fits all. Hey at least they accept it back so all you lost was a frustrating day on the links. It was worth the try! IndyBonzo, MIGregB, Josh Parker and 2 others 4 1 Quote Play like a champion today!

The Newton is staying in my Callaway Paradym driver, or it will go into the AI Smoke TD head that just arrived today. It's in the AI Smoke Triple Diamond head (nicest-looking driver head I have ever seen, and it sits just ever so slightly open in the "neutral" position on the adapter). Maybe that slightly-open face angle of just a hair less than 1* will help me to avoid the left misses .... besides, the best match up until now has been the Newton shaft in my Rogue ST LS Triple Diamond driver head. Now, if someone wants a like-new Rogue ST LS TD driver at 9* standard loft with their choice of about 5 different stiff-flex shafts in various profiles, just hit me up! I'll give you a fabulous price on it!!!

Some guys here don’t like the company. That’s all I have to say about that. I did try the Newton in the Aerojet, the Ping, and currently in my Paradym TD. The tipped 5 dot is perfect in my Paradym. I do need to lose about an inch off the top, but I’m choking up on it and is working right now. You think maybe now you can mention the "other" shaft brand without catching holy hell? Or is there a private messaging function in MGS?
