Snuffy Posted May 4 Share Posted May 4 Mitsubishi C6™ RED - High Launch and Mid Spin I have a very low swing speed (70-75 mph) and find this shaft gives me the most potential distance. Every once in a while I will get over 200 yards. I am 74 with a lot of mobility issues due to arthritis. I am constantly looking for senior golf tips to help my game. I also like the MMT SpeedMesh 40 R2 High Launch Mid-spin (Senior 44g) when I use the Titleist TSr1 driver. I use a UST Proforce V2 High Launch 5F2 (Senior 52g) in my 3-wood and 5-wood. I am currently trying to find the best head to go with these shafts. I am testing the MMT Speedmesh with the TSr1 and the Ping G430 max, TSi3, and original Stealth plus with the Mitsubishi C6 RED. Anyone have experience with any of these? TJ Hall, bama no 1 and cksurfdude 3 Quote TaylorMade Stealth woods and CALLAWAY Roque X irons. Ping Sigma 2 Fetch (face-balanced) putter.

I need to put a few up on the classifieds... I have not heard of this shaft before now. I went to their website but they dont post any technical data. How would you classify the feel of the shaft? Does it feel boardy (stiff) on the butt end or can you feel the shaft loading? I do realize that you use the 5 dot so im guessing stiffer butt section. cksurfdude 1 Quote WITB Cobra Radspeed 10.5 driver Cobra 3 wood Nickent hybrid PXG 0311 3-PW Cleveland zip core wedges 52,56,60 Odyssey/Goodwood putters-models works 7 for odyssey and Goodwood custom putters switch out from time to time.

Here is a whole thread on them. HERE It's a very different feel than any other golf shaft in my opinion. You feel load but it's stable and the release "pop" is at impact.

Very strong shaft which I can swing as hard as I desire. It will not give the big miss left. In fact, it gives a baby fade or draw. Most of the time just dead straight!

OU812DAY Posted May 5 Share Posted May 5 I’m using the Fujikura Motore X F3 6S swinging around 100. Very stable and helps launch the Stealth plus a bit higher as I wanted. Also using it in my Radspeed 3 wood. This shaft doesn’t feel boardy at all and you can feel the smooth kick. Tried the Taylormade Ventus 5S but didn’t care for the consistency as much as the Motore X but, this was not the Velacore model and also lighter. Originally was using the Kaili white 6S which was also a great feel but launched lower. cksurfdude, bama no 1 and TJ Hall 3 Quote Stealth Plus 9 Driver Cobra SZ Big 3 Wood 13.5 Cobra SZ 2 Hybrid Ping I-500 irons 4-PW Ping Glide 3.0 wedges 50,54,58 Odyssey Stroke Lab DbleWide Putter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kajaar Posted May 6 Share Posted May 6 Aldila Tour Green for Driver and both woods (3 & 5). The shaft is so stable and stout that it feels almost impossible to turn the ball over for a left miss. Demoed Ventus Blue and Black Velocore during winter and while the liveliness gave marginal boost on ball speed, the left miss felt looming over the corner. Therefore Tour Green gets another year in the bag. bama no 1 and cksurfdude 2 Quote Callaway Paradym Triple Diamond 8° - Aldila Tour green 60TX Titleist TSi3 15° - Aldila Tour green 70TX Titleist TSi2 18° - Aldila Tour green 70TX // Taylormade SIM UDI 18° - Diamana Thump 100X Callaway Apex Pro 21 4-9 - Project X 6.5 Cleveland RTX Zipcore 46, 50, 54 & 60 - Dynamic Gold Spinner Wedge Scotty Cameron Futura X // Odyssey Stroke Lab #7 //kajaar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr_BogeyPro Posted May 7 Share Posted May 7 About two weeks ago, I had my Ping G400 re-shafted with the Ventus Blue 6-R and it has been nothing short of amazing. I have always played my clubs with the stock shafts, but this is a game changer. It may be the placebo effect or something, but I feel I can attack my drives with more power. I would look into the Velocore option. bama no 1 and cksurfdude 2 Quote Driver: Callaway Rogue ST R Flex 3 Wood: TaylorMade Razr Hybrids: Callaway Rogue Max 3 - 5 Irons: TaylorMade M5 Wedges: TaylorMade Milled Grind 4 52, 54/Titleist Vokey M6 56 Putter: Odyssey White Hot OG 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RetiredBoomer Posted May 7 Share Posted May 7 It's amazing how many MGS forum participants get so into the weeds with shafts. It seems that custom fitting for shafts is the norm here rather than the exception. I buy my stuff online and take the stock R-flex graphite shaft that the manufacturer offers. I figure they know what works with the clubhead. I do specify the same grip for every non-putter club, and I ask for 1° flat on the driving iron, numbered irons, and wedges. I also order all the wedges the same length so that the sand iron is usually ordered a ¼" long and the lob wedge is usually ordered a ½" long. Other than that, though, I'm pretty much an off the shelf shopper. I came into this season with a complete fourteen club reboot, but one major online dealer had everything I wanted. And while it's only May, I'm happy with the new gear. How good does a social-recreational player have to be to benefit from custom fitting? Is it as common as it seems to be here on the forum?
