The TPT Golf Power Range 18 LO driver shaft that I’m testing and reviewing as part of a current MyGolfSpy testing opportunity is proving to be the most stable, accurate and dependable golf shaft I’ve ever used in a driver.  It is also one of the longest as well.

A couple of years ago, I joined some other golf junkies on our forum and participated in an unofficial test of lightweight and flexible driver shafts.  For those that haven't read the thread it is called Shaft Hack The Otto Phlex Journey started by @azstu324.  At the time I participated in this test, I had a Fuji Ventus Velocore shaft in my driver and 3 wood.  Now I have 2 driver shafts:  a UST MP5 in Ladies flex and a ProLaunch Blue 45 in stiff flex.  Both of these shafts were around $60 and I hit both very well.....enough so that I am not looking for something better.  I still have the Ventus Velocore in my 3 wood and I won't be changing that one out any time soon.

I would LOVE to try that shaft. Gotta get to a fitter and give it a try. Very afraid it would work for me and I would LOVE it. 💰💰💰 😂

GD Tour AD DI 6x has been my go to for a while. Either it fits my swing or my swing fits the AD DI 6x. @GolfSpy Barbajo nicknamed me (or my tee shots) the “Road Runner” in Scotland. Medium height fade that runs. It was a beautiful thing on some links courses. 😍

Right now I’m loving the Newton Driver shafts! I just took my Velecore to get shortened and tipped 1/2”. I’ll try it out when it’s done. And I still like the Jupiter 1+.

I could play golf every day and learn something new each time.

I enjoy trying new heads and shafts......knowing that there are few gains to be had.  It's just a lotta fun.
