64’s for cb’s. Man I miss those. 5’s for blades. Two of my favs from the last decade.

Tsr2 5W is outstanding! Not sure it will leave the bag anytime soon. Absolutely perfect ball flight and plenty of ball speed.
-
Exactly how I felt as soon as it went in the bag. So much more confidence from 200-210.

Project X Iron and Wedge Shaft Set...Kuro Kage XD Driver Shaft
wam78 replied to Pomps's topic in Classifieds- For Sale Forum
That XD is one of my favorite driver shafts ever! Still playing it. GLWS! -
One of the best off the deck I ever played is an OG stealth plus 5 wood turned down. Really easy to hit and is HOT off the face. The stealth woods were fantastic! Equally as good was the tour issue OG stealth 3HL. You can still find them on eBay for a decent price. Currently in a tsr2 5 wood and it’s pretty damn good as well. Not quite as hot as the stealth plus, but not far behind it. I get a little more launch and peak height from it which is why i switched. Ball speed is close.

Tsr3 10* in D1 setting. Kuro Kage XD 60x in D1 setting. One of my favorite set ups I’ve ever played. Plays at 44.5” with 6 grams of hot melt. To me, it’s the best looking driver down by the ball. Feels incredible and more forgiving than you think. My miss is toe side and it performs outstandingly well on my miss. I really want to test the GT2 and DS Adapt, but I’m scared to even think about hitting another driver right now. Hitting this tsr3 really good at the moment.

That’s why I went from 5i to 5hyb. It will be a pretty sized distance gap. I still cut my hybrid down by .5”.

Driver market is tough! I believe Johnny Wunder had some really good insight on one of his podcasts lately discussing this. A really big point he made was the amount of money the top 5 OEM’s are willing to spend just on the driver R&D and marketing process. They leave no stone unturned and basically have a blank check. Outside of that. I think the spot where Srixon gets overlooked the most, especially with the zxi release, is the fairway woods. These zxi fairways look incredible and perform even better. Simply fantastic!

Might sound crazy to some, but more of an upright lie angle helps me hit a fade. I like to start more left and let it fall right. Also, my swing tends to be a little more over the top than flat. So the lie angle helps. Some other things that have helped me: - building up my grip with more tape on the lower hand - weight in the toe - cut my woods short with more weight in the head - shaft that I can feel some load. If the shaft is more stiff and boardy I tend to turn it over more. However, ymmv. These are some things that have worked really well for me over the years.

I think it’s 95 or 96gr xstiff but feels very smooth but stable.
-
Around 110. Can get higher but I try not too. Especially at my age 😂
-
Got it. The 5 hyb turned down is a perfect in-between yardage for me. Pretty easy 212 - 215 carry without really trying to hit it hard. Kind of shocked me honestly. Zxi5 5i is 195-205 so it fits great.
-
I went straight to the 2 because I much prefer that shape. Just fits my eye. The 4hyb would have gone too far for my gaps.
-
Added 5 yards, more launch and peak height. All of which I was looking for, but mainly just ease of use. Something to note, I’m starting to find it much easier to take some speed off and still keep some height. 4i was too much of a one way street for me.

It was a zxi5 4i at 22*. Tsr2 5hyb turned down 1* in D2 setting. Motore speeder ts hb 9.8 - old school shaft I can’t get away from. Biggest difference is ball speed across the face. It’s so much easier to get the same ball speed I had work harder for with the iron. My misses are so much better. Its still a bit of an adjustment period from a looks standpoint, but it’s made a difference with my confidence and has given more versatility, especially out of the rough.
