Throw that bad boy into a CT250 from Golfworks. Best $50 you will ever spend. Nuff said!

The title says regular and the desc says stiff.

I guess I'll find out when it arrives ;)

Swing speed, swing speed, swing speed. You're just not a MAN unless you hit a S flex..................................bull$$it. My swing speed is as good as any average golfer. It comes down to what performs the best for you individually. I duck hook every S flex shaft I've ever tried. :)

Yep, it's a .350" bore head. I've shafted 4 of these heads now. I used a .335 to .350 .015" brass shim and regular .335 ferrule and they're good to go. The hosel bore is slightly deeper on these heads than a lot of other heads I've run across but nothing major probably 1/8"-1/4".

That listing confused me too. I would have asked the seller I think. I would also want the the stiff flex if I were doing it again. ;)

OH!!! sssmokin likes them in reg flex, I've had better luck in stiff... I think you would too. :)

In the CT250 you want the "non-adjustable" (fixed screws) one all Titanium (not the composite crown one)...

For whatever reason the regular flex I have in mine doesn't agree with me. It may be the flex, the length or the reduced swingweight as a result of the shorter shaft -- I'm not sure but my normal consistent fade drives are all over the place with this combo. I built my driver an inch shorter than normal to experiment with a shorter driver. I normally play a 44.5" driver and built this one to 43.5". That is a great head though.

I'm not going to give up on it yet though. I will lengthen it by an inch to the same length as the rest of my drivers and try again. If it doesn't work out it will probably be a lot easier to sell a standard length driver than a shorter one. :D

I said that because I know VT had stiff flex in his other drivers... Not all of us have a 360º John Daly backswing you know (which gives the shaft twice the time to load and unload)... :D

Looks like this project is on hold. I got this email from the seller when I asked him about the flex of the shaft.



Shoot,
I really messed up on this one.
I had listed this and a few other items a week ago and this didn;t sell. So I re-listed, but I hit the wrong one to re-list. I actually only have a CHROME in X-STIFF. I will refund your money ASAP if you do not want it. My appologies for this error. Tak care.

VT, that sucks - think he's sincere or do you think he just can't part with such a good shaft for $25?

will he give you a red one in Stiff? - are you picky about color?
