Jman, I'll be real interested to see how the 4x works out for you. If I do go with the B. Asha it will be the 4 series. I've always played stiff as well but after seeing the International Flex Code numbers the other day in a different B. Asha thread I started thinking maybe the 4x would be better than the 4s. After a couple replies back and forth with JB I concluded I may have gotten a little carried away and was maybe a little thrown off by the numbers. I really like the International Flex Code but I think I think I need to fully educate myself more and this thread will really help. Interesting how you, me and Dam all saw the 4 series Flex Code numbers and all thought the same thing that we could go form stiff to x-stiff. Ultimately I think I'll end up with a stiff shaft (4s being the front runner) but I'll be following you and Dam real close to see how you guys do going up in flex.
Great stuff Canadan. I'll get to an initial write-up soon, but I'll probably wait until the shaft gets in and include it with my thoughts/pictures. I won't have as much to say as you seeing as I've never hit the B. Asha before like you have. I am surprised, however, that the 5x was radically different than the 7x for you because they have the same flex code. I'm glad you've found a shaft that really works for you though!
Nice writeup Dan!!!! I like it dude, I can't wait to hear your thoughts of the shaft in the 310 head!
Great review Dan! I really liked how you mentioned you believe there is a 'right fit' Miyazaki for everyone. At this point I don't see how I wind up with a shaft that isn't a B. Asha or Kusala in my driver for next season. Really look forward to hearing your results throughout the testing.
Those are some sick pictures Jman. Nice start and initial thoughts.
It'll be interesting. I should preface by saying I actually have played X flex in my drivers off and on in my shaft tinkering through the years so its not a totally new world, but, one companies X is another ones S or even XX. We shall see!
Nice writeup Dan!!!! I like it dude, I can't wait to hear your thoughts of the shaft in the 310 head!
Great photos Jman. Really like the look of that shaft.
Canadan, looking forward to seeing your thoughts on the B Asha in the Classic. I'm also still surprised how much better you liked the 5x than the 7x with your swing speed. Both shafts have the same flex code, correct? It's amazing that the weight difference had that much of an effect.
Without knowing much about either shaft, I really preferred the 7x. I didn't get that many swings, though. Maybe 6 with each. Very interested to see how the testers like the 5 series in the Classic. I think a 5s and 5x are in play for this testing, both with some bigger hitters. Should be fun.
What is the flex code of the kusala Black x 61 you
have in your crrent driver?
7854 vs. 5689, things that make you go hmm!
Do you tend to like a stiffer tip or butt?
Raises hand. I went with a 5S too. But Im not a low ball hitter at all. I'll be looking to keep my flight down if anything.Did any of you testers get the 5S? I know Jman and Dan did not but what about the others, Also any low ball hitters that want a higher ball flight? This is what I am always looking for.
Stan I hit the 4S a good bit in atlanta and I can tell you that the head does not keep up. You may want to look at the 5S. Based on your current setup, I think the %s would be up your alley.Jman, I'll be real interested to see how the 4x works out for you. If I do go with the B. Asha it will be the 4 series.

I thought the 5 was mid to high flight? I'm guessing your hitting a 9.5 head?
