Out on the course today I did a driver shaft shootout. I had not hit these two back to back and I didn't realize how different they really were in their approach in how they play.
The two shafts.... Mitsubishi Tensi Blue S tipped an inch.
Xcaliber Superlite55 S tipped an inch.
Both have a KE4 TC Tour Driver head. Both heads spec out nearly identically. So it's a very close comparison.
Out on the course I was crushing the Superlite55 and the Tensi wasnt even close.. at first. I was pulling the Tensi left all over the place and hitting the Superlite55 dead straight. I was using a closed swing like I'm gonna hit a draw. But like an idiot I wasnt setting up how the Tensi likes which is a fade swing. Once I opened up my stance the Tensi was launching as I had seen before. Now that same open stance was putting the Superlite55 way right. Change my stance and boom.. back down the middle with the Xcaliber..
With the Tensi I can totally eliminate the right side of the course. With the Superlite55 I can totally eliminate the left side of the course.
My question is, Do you feel more comfortable with the no right shaft.. or the no left shaft?
