I just sent the club back to Horsepowergolf.com to get a XXX flex shaft put in it. Pat Dempsey (Long Drive champion) and I discussed shafts for 40 minutes to come up withthe best combination. If anyone is concidering putting together a long drive club look him up. Tell him GolfBald sent ya!
The first shaft died a short death Penley ETA Tour Stiff flex. Fantastic shaft at 45" not at 48" assembled. This was not the Long Drive model. The graphite sounded like a tree splitting on contact. The new shaft is an Accuflex Pro LD 50", 72 grams. Very light compared to my 123 gram steel in the
Callaway.
Once I work out the swing differences, I will post a video. I have to send one to Mike Austin who has an interest in my swing as well. I talked to Mike last night, he likes my attitude, "It's not about the equipment, It's all about the swing." I figure it this way, I will listen to Mike Austin because anyone who after having a stroke, is paralysed on his right side, and at age 90 hit a 147 yard wedge shot left handed only against some PGA pros and hit the pin the ball landed next to the hole. Mike is my kind of guy!
Ian, I will post my swing when I get the swing grooved with a 50 1/2 " shaft.
