FT-i tour update

I have had this reshafted by Ken from Victory Custom Golf. I believe I made an excellent choice to send my club to Ken. Excellent communication, excellent quality of workmanship. I would recommend him for all your golf equipment needs.

I felt that the Creation 65 I had in here before was a perfect shaft, and it really delivered, but only when I swung at near 90-100%. That's just too much to ask all the time.

Gone is my mid-height, penetrating trajectory. It has been replaced with a higher launch and even less spin, leading to an even flatter trajectory.

The club is built to the exact specs I wanted, d3/d4 SW, 44.5", 1 extra wrap of tape. Through trial and error I have found these to lead to the best contact for me. I prefer the heavier 78 gram shaft over the 65 as well.

My first shot with this club just now was a 5 yard cut. The second was a 3 yard cut. Both shots carried 260+, which is my usual distance. Every swing resulted in a good shot. No mishits at all - one little push, but it got a good kick back into the fairway. When I decided to step it up and see what the shaft could handle, it gave me a 5 or 6 yard draw that ended up just left of the green on a 290 yard hole.

I am very very happy with the reshaft so far. We'll see how it goes when I play tomorrow and friday.

Bonus points to anybody that can guess the shaft.

Matrix XCON 7 stiff. That's my guess.

Think cheaper. Very simple and classy (IMO) in appearance.

The clues are out there if you're paying attention. I waited way too long to get another one of these.

The new smartie colour.

I love that shaft. I'll have another one in the bag, I know it. Super solid and you can just rip at it.

Oh, I know. I can't understand why more people don't play this shaft. I think it would be awesome in a Launcher 460.

Is this a shot?

I had a Launcher with a Graf Blue. Longest driver I've ever hit - bar none. Why I sold it, I'll never know.

I had a notion about two months ago to built another combo. I'm gonna wait for the new Launcher to go cheap and try that.

Oh sure, you'll ask for clues, but will you ever give them?
