Gentlemen would like your opinion on these two shafts.
|
|
Anyone!

nige is a hard man to find these days. Tim may be able to help you with this.
|
|
Ok Tim, your thoughts?
|
|
ive had both and find the 950gh to be way smoother then the superlites. Both great ballflights

hi there, you will find that both shafts are a light weight steel shaft and will have about the same shaft profile. By my experiences with Nippon, most of the time a stiff flex will play more like a senior to reg stiffness. The DG is a better quality shaft, but if you are looking to hit it lower then you will be better off going for a normal DG shaft, if you dont like the extra weight of the DG then another option could be a Rifle Lite, but you will have to get in quick with the rifle lite because they have discontinnued that line

Thanks mate, already made the mistake of reshafting my 755’s with the Nippon’s, they fly too high for me, lost distance from 5 to 3 iron.

If you’re a high ball hitter I’d go to a slightly heavier shaft. I too play the flighted PXs & like them a lot. Good choice IMHO. What flex did they fit you to?

I have used the DG superlite and now changed to NS pro 950. Yes, I find my ball flight highjer using the NS pro compared to the Dg, thus losing some distance. I find this shorter distance a handicap at times. However, I find the NS pro an easier shaft to get the ball air borne when swing is not that perfect during play.

Were you hitting outdoors or into a net at the demo?

Before you totally waste your money, why don’t you go and get your long irons delofted. Trial them to see if that will offset the higher ball flight ? This will only cost you $15 to $20 and might solve the problem. It seems to be a very radical step, going from light weight shafts to heavy ProX just to bring down your launch angle. Atleast get one of your irons reshafted to start with as a demo to see if you like it, before once again spending a heap of cash and then whinging about an outcome that should’ve been fairly predictable.

Tim,

I’ll bet a dollar you hit it at least half a Rifle flex softer on course.

Yeh, probably.

i would definatly be a bit weary of the lauch monitors, looking by eye at a ball flight is still the best way to fit someone and look at what shaft is best. Dont get me wrong lauch monitors are good for lauch angle and spin rate but you must still look at the ball flight on the course. If you are at a range hit off the grass as well, mats have a good trick of lauching the ball higher than off the grass.
