Last 2 rounds, the driver I bagged is one of my G400SFT's. I put a DTG FGS Plus A flex shaft in it. This one: https://www.diamondtour.com/fgs-plus-wood-custom-color.html

I literally cannot tell any difference in flight or distance from the stock Alta CB R flex shaft. Either the FGS is the value of the millennium ($9.99), or I'm such a geezer that shafts make no difference. That's my review. Don't hesitate to game this shaft.

    sdandrea1 the FGS is the value of the millennium ($9.99)

    I've been saying that for years. I still have some in clubs, gave some away that were given to me, sold some, and still have some new ones iirc.
    You have to like a 'mid' weight shaft though. Typically around 68g. I'm more of an upper 50g. now.

        I know! I'm shocked I'm hitting a shaft that "heavy" so well. Brings the flight down a bit and might take some spin off?

            Mo Power!! Bigger hammer pounds nails quicker, at same speed.
            I never even studied physics.

            The head may also be heavier than what you've been using. 2 +s fo Mo Power!

                My wedges have FGS Vision + shafts in them and I think they're great. Haven't tried any of the FGS shafts for woods so it's good to hear you guys like them (in case I should ever decide to buy more clubs some day šŸ‘€).

                Jelopster with GW prices rising, is DTG the new (old) go-to for components?

                I have a high opinion of their FGS shafts (obviously). Their club components are all clones (except for their own DTG designs) so you won't get as many original designs as Golfworks offers. I've used the Turner heads and the DTG heads in builds for customers looking to keep the price down and the quality was good. You're not going to get Golfworks-level quality or design tech at DTG, but you will get good values. My $.02

                    sdandrea1 Yeah. Iā€™ve had a set of their single length, some of their wedges, and one of their illegal Felon driver. Everything was playable. I think of DTG as stuff for projects that you wanna just try out for cheap

                      So when I was playing the g400 max the regular Alta was an unplayable complete noodle. I switched to the ping 65 tour shaft and the club felt super heavy. Iā€™m guessing the counter balanced shafts are key? Anyways after about $500 into that club I moved on I didnā€™t want to keep throwing hundred dollar bills at it til I found a keeper.

                      Yes, but am I moving the heavier mass at the same speed as the 50g shaft? šŸ¤”

                      Ok, do you remember me talking about ā€œmuscle activationā€? You guys might think you donā€™t have any muscle but you doā€¦ you keep active, you work on your shop, Steve is out doing yard work at the church etcā€¦

                      So what happens is when you have a heavier shaft /club, your brain has your bigger muscles take overā€¦ because youā€™ve been active your whole life and you still do physical work. You end up swinging it faster. If the club is too light, your brain doesnā€™t tell your larger, more powerful muscles to engageā€¦ and you donā€™t swing as hard.

                      The only reason I know this is I started researching it when I saw my numbers ( Sarnella is listening!) and consistency get
                      better with a heavier iron shaft. Iā€™m slower with a 105 gram shaft than I am with a 115. With an 86 gram shaft I was all over the place and no faster than with the 115 too.

                          Typhoon Good take!

                          I also have no problem when going from a 54g. to a 68g. shaft. And at 47", it really ups the swing weight.

                          And speaking of physical work.....my pecs are killing me from all this damn work I've been doing the past couple weeks! I'll prolly need XXL shirts this Spring. With ripped sleeves. šŸ˜‚šŸ¤£
