Which 5A shaft did you go with ?

@@southpawjohnny5969 5A Ventus Blue. I honestly never tried a different shaft in it. It came with that shaft so I kept it in just modified it

I agree….this is nice but doesn’t represent the people that would be using it.

Im 95mph swing and the heavier shaft is harder work, easier to slice and flight/carry is less. I found 50g too hard to control, ball strikes all over the face with some balloons. I do use the lighter shaft in my fairway wood though as I want higher flight and shorter stopping distance. For driver a 60g stiff flex works best for my swing speed so for a 80mph swing I suggest you compare reg flex 60g to 45/50g A/L. Go to a fitting day with launch monitor, you will see all the data...

He is good. Fairway finding machine!

I always like using better golfers on these tests because they can repeat the same swing over and over and thereby give us cleaner data. Using a less consistent golfer would require a much larger sample size I think to get good data. Not saying I won't in the future, but that's my reason why I don't use my own swing! 😅

Are you sure about the "over 300 yards" thing? with severe limitations in backswing and initial acceleration? How far does he hit it with a graphite shaft? 500 yards? is he thor or captain america? sounds like the stuff that comes out of the back of a male bovine

@asdfjkl981 💯 sure on the 300 yard part. He was the NCAA long drive champion twice. He was a 3 time All American along side Lee Janzen and Rocco Mediate. He hosted long drive competitions on the LDA Tour in the early 2000's and was a World Trick Shot Champion. You may gladly look him up. Ben Witter is his name. He was on his way to the PGA Tour right after college when he was diagnosed with cancer. I've personally seen the garden hose club hit balls over 300. It's all about creating centrifugal force properly. I've hit the exact same club and it's generally not hard to hit. I couldn't hit it that far, but I could still move it out there. I've seen him hit drives well over 375 carry up hill. He trained World Long Drive champ Carl Wolter out of reading. Carl acknowledges him in his winning interview during his 2nd win. It's on KZfaq.

@@industrialpalletworx3548 again. backswing and initial acceleration. both lack. even if he is thanos and his golf glove has the infinity stones on it. it is just impossible. even if he hits it 400 yards uphill with a graphite shaft. rather show me the video of someone with a gardenhose shaft doing the 300 yards carry. than some guy mentioning him.

@asdfjkl981 if I had the video I would certainly upload it. I think your concepts are a bit confused. You need speed moving into impact. Trying to be fast at transition is no bueno. Whether you believe it or not, doesn't really matter to me. I know what I saw repeatedly. It is quite literally the exact same concept as cracking a whip. Did you know almost all long drivers today use senior or ladies flex shafts. Why? Cracking the whip concept. Stiffness relates more to accuracy than distance. Softer shafts can provide more distance.

First time out with the Quad so I didn't have all the data capturing set up. Once the studio is ready, will have more detailed stats.

@@EFG2 Awesome cannot wait! The only problem I have it finding one of these shafts already tipped with a Taylormade adapter. Do you have a video on how to retip a driver?

@@jacksoni349 The Motore X was not tipped. Just straight in.

He is a little high but he is such a consistent driver and that is one of the reasons. Maybe a future video we try and tick that down a bit.

​@@EFG2 do you feel shaping shots with that soft of a flex would be on demand or does it favor a draw?

Similar weight, launch and 2 flexes softer than what you "should" play will usually yield results like these assuming your swing can time up the more flexible shaft.

@@EFG2 Thank you!

Not true. World distance champion with a 150+ mph swing speed crushed a bunch using a 45g ladies shaft. Swing speed jumped to 153 mph and ball speed was around 213 mph right down the middle... with range balls 😂😂😂

@@gcoffey223 That’s a remarkable result in his case. However, if you asked him if that would be his shaft of choice if he were to go out and play a round of golf that meant something i’m sure he would opt for an extra stiff shaft not a ladies shaft.

@jherl8307 I think so. Another guy Micha hits well over 300 yards and has a 40g or 45g shaft in senior flex. Gives the club proper time to square uo

There are no absolutes, a senior flex shaft can obviously achieve better results. Everything depends on the player, their consistency and the speed of their swing. I really enjoyed this video.

Totally depends on the golfer. Some golfers won't be able to time it based on their swing tempo and the whole idea falls flat.

@@EFG2 👍 still, it would be cool to see @Martin Borgmeier or @Bry Roberts Long Drive rip a LD club you’ve built! 💪🏌️

If you are already in the PX brand, I might try the Evenflow CB I used in another video. Go with the 40 weight and the 4.0 or 5.0 flex.

Really just makes it half a flex stiffer. Maybe fractional change in launch and spin but those changes will be small.

I thought you were the mobile club guy ;)

You mean going from senior to x flex or dropping down below senior into L flex?

@@EFG2 How does the Fujikura Motore perform compared with other ultra light senior shafts

@@randallpartin212 You should be able to get similar results if you have similar specs.

Probably catching them a bit low on the face for those higher spin numbers.

they were all high i think

Yup, crazy high spin from the X flex. How did he get fit into that gamer? Lol

That's the goal but not always how it works out in practice. These 10 shots showed more consistency in numbers from the light flexible shaft.

Fits my 10g and 2 flex class drop rule. Again this method won't work for everyone, just like the Autoflex shaft that I based all these videos on, won't work for everyone. But if you can get used to the feel and timing, I think that shaft should work and I like the idea of going full hulk on the loft. Let me know how it works if you go ahead with it.

For Keenan, the dispersion was almost the same, might have been slightly better with the Motore X shaft.

Hi AJ based on your Autoflex video I’ve just put an Evenflow CB 50 40R shaft in my Epic Max LS so keen to give it a go. I’m currently gaming a Ping G400 LST with Hzrdus Yellow handcrafted 6.5 76gm. I’ll let you know how it goes.

The Motore we used is 10g lighter and one flex softer.

Depends on the golfer. Often a heavier shaft will reduce head "feel" for a golfer even if the swing weight is similar.

Thank you very much. So it's all about feel? Performance the same?@@EFG2

@@franzose1967 Will really depend on the golfer.

Either can work, you will in theory see a bigger difference from the bigger weight drop.

Some people really like a low compression ball with lower speeds. Also some higher speed players like them especially when the weather gets cold.

Yes, you can use the same ideas in a 3 wood. Might want a slightly heavier shaft, depending on what you currently play.

Still looks like it fits the rules. Lighter weight shaft give move speed. More flexible shaft improves timing with lighter shaft. Length gets tricky because longer club will always lead to less consistent strike pattern. You also had good LA to start with so not surprising you can get more out of dropping a couple degrees of loft. But again all of this is just generalization. Might work well with one golfer, and be a disaster for another. That's golf.
