Dunce Cap For A Bit
I bought the attached shaft for a great price. I had it cut to typical TM playing length, installed a head (M1 2016 430), and hated it. It felt loose as all get out. I typically play as stout of a shaft as I can, both from swing speed and from poor mechanics, and universally spin them too high. On a GC2, my tee ball screams to 265 then drops out of the sky. I should get 40+ yards more total distance based on my SS that's how bad the spin is. I heard the KK DC Tini was the cats whiskers so bought (what I thought to be) one.
Anyways, this shaft was bendy as all get out. I've always wanted to try a -2.00" or so shaft so I had it cut down -1.75" from standard since it bent like a toothbrush bristle and thought I'd be good. No way Jose. Still terrible, spinning mid 4k's for me despite playing at 3w length. Same flight as I usually see, scream to 265 then drop like a duck that's hit with a load of tungsten. Maybe even worse.
First time on the course with it, 3rd hole my driver head flies 125 yards. I think I had great follow through to get it there, lol. Clean strike too. It was shaft shear and not an epoxy issue.
I won't name the seller as they've reached out to me and have made things right. I will blame Kuro Kage/MRC. I'm not the 100% most knowledgeable person here. But I know more than 99% of golfers. I though I was buying a totally different shaft since they've decided to brand it under a similar name and market it to the same audience. This isn't the same profile shaft at all. It's mid/high launch and mid/low spin. I bought it thinking low/low, per their other similar named shaft. It's more bendy at 42" than a R flex 42" stock 3w shaft I bought on a 2016 HL 3w M2 that I got for the kids. Buyer beware on these. They're a decent shaft for a smooth transition 100 SS golfer. For someone that violently attacks the ball on the tee they are 100% worthless. Again no slam on the guys that sold it. The error is on me 90% and MRC 10% for puting a similar named shaft out there. Terrible marketing and if a fairly knowledgeable golfer messes up because of it, the average one has no prayer.
Can't post pics on mobile, sorry. Will try to edit it from desktop version. The shaft read "Silver Series TiNi dual core", opposing side "60 Flex TS 'proto' "
It's not what you think it'll be. Why MRC did this I have no idea. Hopefully I can add some pics once I post this...
