I don't think they would've cost me strokes. They may have left me further from the green or put me at/around the tree line but than again it's hard to say.

Great review and vids ddec! How would you describe the accuracy you saw with the nunchuk shaft? It's interesting that you saw less distance overall than you did with the razor x.
Great information guys!! glad to hear this shaft is working for you. As a shaft novice I am a little confused and thought I would post a question here for those more knowledgable than me can answer. In recent years we have heard the theory "lighter is longer" when it comes to golf clubs and shafts. An example is the new Cleveland Black driver I saw on another thread and it is offering a 39 gram shaft. This shaft seems to go aganst that line thinking but yet offering the same type of results. Or is it that this shaft is offering accuracy and the others are merely offering distance? Can anyone comment on that aspect?
Nice write up ddec. I'm enjoying the reviews on these shafts. I tend to agree with TC though. With how well you hit the RH I'm not sure I'd mess with anything right now.

lol, as much as I like the early success from the Nunchuk, that would be my advice to young ddec as well. If it ain't broke, don't fix it.
Speed equals distance dude. Longer shaft means longer arc, of course if you can't control it then you're just further into the rough.

To be fair to Dean, he is just absolutely pounding the Razr Hawk. Seriously. Every time I saw him hit it, it went dead straight, right where he was aiming. If I were him, it would be tough to find something better. That doesn't mean that the Supertri/Nunchuk combo won't be good for him, but when you walk away from the MC weekend that he did, they way he hit the ball off the tee, it would be tough to want to mess around with something else.
The whole premise behind light weight shafts is so that golfers can increase club head speed just due to the overall lightness of the driver. Increased clubhead speed = increased distance. I don't know if light weight shafts are merely offering distance or not, but imo, I'm inclined to lean that way. It makes sense from the perspective of the manufacturer as well. Amateur golfers are driven by the pursuit of distance. I think what the Nunchuk is all about is not only accuracy but the overall package. Nventix firmly believes that other driver shafts that have flexes produce destructive swing variables that diminish golfer performance. Basically, shafts that have "flex" twist and droop during the golf swing in a manner that results in the face of the club often being open or closed at impact, and with a significant increase or decrease in loft. Nventix has also conducted hours of research proving that most kick points in shafts that offer flex, occurs well before the club head reaches the golf ball, wasting energy, power, and ultimately, distance before impact. The Nunchuk combats all of that b/c quite simply, it's flexless.
I think part of that is the head itself. The SuperTri is a higher spinning head than the Razr Hawk. It was only one outing with them but I will have more comparisons as the rest of the year goes on.
After trying this shaft out on Saturday, I am left with a lot of questions that I think I am in the minority on.
First up is balance. We have constantly heard for the last 2 years that as club head have gone lighter, shafts have gone lighter as well to create balance. Because if you have a heavy club head on the end of a light shaft it feels off. With this being as heavy as it was, it felt off to me in a RAZR Hawk driver. It felt like I could not feel where the club head was in my swing and because of that, I found myself hitting quite a few thin balls with it on the range.
The other issue I have is that by the end of the round in the hot sun, I am more tired than when I started and while it may seem trivial, I found the heavy shaft to be a burden. Its one of the reasons that I prefer lighter iron shafts too.
Lastly, Im not sure about the whole distance thing with this one yet (not that they are promoting it that way) I suspect that if more accuracy is achieved distance would come for a lot of people. For me it was noticeably shorter. Not a lot shorter and it could have merely been my driving that day, but it seemed 5-10 yards shorter than my normal drives overall.
Like any shaft, I think this shaft could be right for the right person. And based on fitting could work well for someone, but I am thinking that I am not that person at all.
Can anyone fill me in on why it is almost "necessary" to have it so short? I think that if the concept as an "accurate" shaft works, then it works. If it's flexless at 44", itll be flexless at 46" and you'll be able to get more distance out of it.
What club length and swing weight was the Razr set up with the Nunchuck? It is meant to be played at 43.5 - 44" at D1 to D2. Getting the right SW normally requires adding a significant amount of headweight.

Because that is how the inventor/designer of the shaft has set it up to be played. He has stated there are very specific design parameters in regards to the flex (or lack thereof) in each section, the counterbalancing, and the overall weight. Based on his design parameters and his observations of optimal contact/ball flight/accuracy/distance - those are his recommendations.
So instead of fitting for flex, you fit for his design specs?
I think the length fitting is just as important. This shaft should be able to be but trimmed and tip trimmed to spec to get the proper fitting and balance point, instead of making a broad sweeping statement of "44 inches is best for everyone".
I like the idea of the flexless shaft, but not the idea of everyone should play 44" for it to work properly. Thats like saying your car will stop at every red light if you let it coast far enough.
