This CHEAP shaft beat all the others

So I was using Trackman the other day to try different shafts in my G410. At Golf Logics here in town they have a wall full of shafts to try with Ping adapte...

I was able to get in touch with DTG before the UPS truck came to get their shipments, and I was able to add 2 more of the electric R/S, for a total of 4. That ought to take care of my needs going forward. For me, the extra weight is a nice touch, and it just plain works, at least in fairway woods.

I have to add, most companies would have said, "no, if the warehouse has packed it, it's considered to be out the door." That's been my experience anyway.

DonM Can't recall if I've tried them in FW clubs. Mine are .350 and have had the same shafts for years; not changing what works, btw. 😄
They work great in drivers for me, but I do build them 46-46.5", so it softens them a bit. Don't use them a lot any more but next round will have my DCT/FGS Plus in the bag. Had 1 in my 7.5 Indio for years and it was always in the bag.

I may have a couple of the R/S left, if you ever need more. White.

I ordered off Ebay yesterday due to the price diff ($3 ea.) & ($4) cheaper shipping. Got the A/L which is all they have there, and what I wanted.
Being delivered today!!😲

Par4QC I would have bought those whites. But I’ll learn to live with the goofy neon yellow. Maybe I’ll like it.

DonM I love the Electrics. Got 5 & 3 coming. Driver/iron.
I have the red in my DCT. May have a couple black/grey around some place.

After reviewing this entire thread I had a flashback… then did some digging in my stash box last night…I may need to try one of these in my recently acquired 3HL (4 wood)…

Since the OEM Air Speeder 40 has been working really really hard lately to get benched…😂😂

I've used the iDrive Tour shaft in my Fairway for years, love them

Yes sir! Have some insider info for me? LOL

VigilanteTrail no....but from poking around their pre-owned section I've seen that shaft a # of times....and after playing the e722 now for ~ 15 rounds, I can comfortably say it's one helluva driver!

Probably because the FGS Plus is an R/S shaft, I found it stiffens up pretty quickly in heads with smaller BBGMs. (In those heads it's equivalent to tipping the shaft.) It was good for me in a Callaway head with an adapter, but played too stiff in an old Geek head I put one in.

I was poking around in my shaft stash yesterday looking for an A flex driver shaft and found a new iDrive Tour 4.5 A/L flex in white.

Those R/S shafts always ballooned on me. Sort of bummed, seemed like a good idea on paper.

Did some building this morning, and I'm not impressed by the electric yellow shafts. It looks to me that they painted the yellow over top of already finished shafts. They weigh more, which is not too big of a deal. The tips are oversized because of the extra paint. I had to remove paint under the full length of the ferrules to keep them from splitting, after I split a couple. I'm not into trying to enlarge the ID of ferrules. These ones are usually an easy sliding fit.

I hope these are actually the shafts I was expecting, and not just some odd stock that got painted and relabeled.

DonM I always assume/allow for a +/-3g. of the listed 68g. when buying shafts like these.
I have several, just checked them all, both iron and driver/fw, and all are within that range @ 67-71, except 1 at 73g.. All previously bought/used have been the same, in any color.

Uh-oh......

DonM

Par4QC These were all 72 grams.

I have the FGS Plus in white in a driver, FW, and a hybrid. School's still out.

DonM

I like the white one in my 5 wood. I’m looking forward to trying the new yellow 7 and 9 woods.

Par4QC

DonM imo, and uses, the white and red ones play softer (same flexes) than the electric yellow for some reason.

Typhoon

Par4QC I’d that’s how they determine flex it’s no wonder they are cheap.
