Which to use?

Alright, got my 905R back today fitted with the Graf NT Comp.

Absolutely amazing driver, was bombing both drivers today, both felt amazingly solid, both around the same distance and dispersion. The R was noticably more forgiving though obv as its a 460cc while the r510 is only 420cc.

Which does everyone think I should keep? Not going to make a full decision until I can hit them both on the course (hopefully), but they both feel great and both work so well. The thing im thinking about is that with the r510 I can get more money because of the creation...

What does everyone think? And yes, will have pics up tonight. Stay tuned for those, and the sweetest ferrule you'll ever see!

NT Comp is a sweet shaft. Go with the 905R. I tried to hit a creation, but I don't think I am manly enough for it.

I'd say keep the R if it's more forgiving and the same distance. BTW the R510TP is only 390cc's.

Pretty sure you know my feelings on the matter.

I'm guessing the TM?

Here are the pics, pay particular attention to the ferrule on the 905R, personally never seen any like it and think its awesome.

I've never considered the Comp NT for my 905R. I'd like to stiffen it up a little but still retain some feel. The YS-6, if I am not swinging well is too loose for my liking.

Let me know how it plays. It's completely different than most of the super boardy shafts you play. I'm VERY interested in your report

VT, my feelings on the YS-6+ exactly. I think the 905R is a great driver if you can find a shaft that works for you. Probably could say that about all drivers though...

VT- so far the NT is extremely solid, but I can still feel it which I love. Both these clubs are the most solid ive ever played. I say try it out, you really dont have much to lose as theyre cheap on ebay. If you want ill try and find the seller I got mine from, free spine/flo and the cool ferrule included.

I say try it in the 65g. Personally i just like a much heavier driver, as Rock said when I originally got this he said he felt the 65 was more lively and such, where as me, i like a heavier club than most (especially on my driver).

So far through 2 range sessions its been great, easy to get the club back down to the ball, even with the bore through it doesnt feel overly boardy either (even though ya its fairly as its 85g in a borethrough), still feels like its got great kick to it. Give it a shot.

Any other opinions guys? 5-0 for the 905R so far?
