Yeah, as we know counter balance shafts allow for longer lengths without the increased swing weight. When I demoed at Edwin Watts I hit the Orange Tensei very well. I had a better dispersion than with the CB Slate which is 1/2 inch longer.
I was surprised that the Orange Tensei was 1/2 inch shorter that the CB Slate, both being counter balanced. I noticed no distance gains with the longer CB Slate.
Of course with Edwin Watts I have two exchanges within 90 days should I get different results on the course. I play a 45 1/4 inch Graphite Design in my G400 SFT and it works great. It's not counter balanced.
I would've never spent $500 on a new driver had it not been for gift cards. It ended up costing me nothing and I have $103 leftover. Very generous relatives, I have. ๐
