That was with a Velocity LD D30+, correct? I heard he swaps back and forth between the D30+ and the stouter D70. I would imagine that softer D30+ would add a little extra whip through contact?
Up for sale is my Mavrik 9* driver, with a Project X Riptide 6.0 shaft, standard length. It's in fantastic shape and only shows slight wear on the sole from use. Crown and face are perfect. Comes with the Mavrik headcover, which has never been used. $350 shipped.
If you prefer, I also have a...
For most shafts, no. I rely more on what the shot shape looks like to choose a shaft. There are some shafts though that just don't feel right. I can't say if that's due to loading, materials or balance point though. But if a shaft is really soft or really stiff, I can feel the loading or lack...
A couple months ago I put away the Mavrik standard and went back to the Epic Flash SZ. I like the Mavrik. But for some reason I get more consistent results with the EF. They're both pretty dang good though.

Thank you for continuing to keep this going, Adam. This year has been a crap show from the start but I'm glad it didn't kill this awesome event. For some of us, it just wasn't possible. But, I'm ready to come back next year and take on Nate, Stemmy, You, and everyone else for the ultimate battle...
