ShopTalk: The BLUE Shaft...

2003-03-17 Thread Jonathan LaChance
Robert, I just reshafted my driver with a BLUE. I have not had a chance to see outside performance but I have used it for about 3 weeks in an Indoor simulator league. The ball flight is a lot lower. The shaft plays at least 1 flex stiffer than stated flex. I think my shot dispersion is tighter wit

Mark, I'd say it's not bendable (just my voice of experience). I won't even attempt them in by shop. BeCu is very dense and very brittle. I'd want who ever said "no problem" to guarentee in writing that they can bend it as you have requested and will replace at no cost to you should it break in t

The Q4's are a solid head with minimal offset. I play a set of 5-AW in the Q4's and SW, 60° & 64° Tour Series Wedges. As for the Q4's I like the longer (heal to toe) look and the thin top line. These clubs hit the ball higher than anything I have ever played in the past. Part of the high ball
