haven't tried the kuehne shaft, but it was an option. i would assume with his name on it it's probably not for my swing. when i ordered, i had the golfsmith catalogue in front of me, checking the shaft specs. i came to the conclusion(right or wrong) that the purple ice was the best fit for me. low kick point, made for oversized, high launch drivers, and good control. sounded about right. and at that price i figured, what the heck, if i've really ******* up. i can reshaft.
