Live Update Thread & Contest - UST February Shaft Spectacular

Nippon Shafts
Nate: What was your favorite part of this experience so far? The info bombs, the fitting or the shaft design process?
Shane: Which shaft technology that you learned about today and will be placed in you clubs do you think going to help your game the most? Driver? Irons? Wedges? Putter??


Currently Driver: Callaway Alpha 815, Mitsubishi Diamana S+ 62g Stiff Flex
 
Shane: how does the shaft feel compared to the Mitsubishi?

Nate: what was your first swing impression of the shaft?

It is so fun following this thread, even though I am getting behind on work.

Questions for the guys:

Nate - Any changes that you will make to your game after what you have learned today about shafts?


Shane - What is the biggest improvement to your game that you hope to achieve through the shaft fitting?

Wow, I just caught up, lucky guys that's for sure!
 
My mind is utterly blown by how UST is treating our boys today. Beyond our wildest expectations. Thanks UST.

Nate - What is one thing you learned during the tour that you had zero clue about yesterday?
Shane - You were first to get fit. How was your swing during the fitting and do you think what you saw was a close resemblance of what you see on the course?

Big time being big time!

And to think, all it cost was an albatross membership. So cool of THP and UST!!!
 
Shane: What do you think your fitting will be recommending for shaft Weight & Flex?
Nate: Putter shafts, Frequency what? Explain it :)

Nate and Shane have a LOT of questions to answer later today. :angel:
 
Questions for the guys:

Nate: What were your more impressed with--what you learned about putters shafts, or big dog shafts?

Shane: Did that full shaft fitting make you nervous, realizing that it was going to affect virtually every stick in your bag? (I'd have been pretty tense trying to swing fluidly during the fitting).



My Current Driver set-up: Callaway Big Bertha Alpha 815 10.5 w/Aldila Rogue 60R shaft.
 
Questions:

Nate: Of all of the shaft fits, which were you closest to in terms of getting fit into something close to you were already playing?

Shane: Conversely, which club in your bag were you fit for something the most different from what you're playing now?


I'm currently playing a Hashimoto 55 in R in a Big Bertha head.
 
Question for both: which shaft, or shafts, in your current set-up are you apprehensive about changing?

Also: I've gone through three iron fittings and each time I tried Recoil the dispersion area was larger vs steel. What might be causing that other than shaft weight changing?

Current driver: G30 with Xphlexxx Agera 70 S tipped 5/8", 45"
