Installed this shaft in my Ignite a couple months ago and I love it. Promotes a low, penetrating ball flight which is really nice on windy days and it also promoted a small draw which is my preferred flight. I give it 5 stars.
Got one in my MP-001 400 & cannot load that thing for the life of me. Stout does not begin to describe this thing.
Do not get one of these in stf is you don't have the ss for it. I got a really good deal on my driver with a factory installed blue, otherwise i would've stayed away. Even when i think i've smoked it it gets out there low & divebombs.
This is the first time i've encountered a shaft that was so stiff that i can't make anything work with it.
had the tour stiff on a GBBII and it was too boardy and my ball was ballooning on me, but I think a different flex (and better swing at the time) would have created a good trajectory.
I too had it ballooning but Im unsure if that was me or the shaft. I do however like the smooth feel I get out of the R flex. Maybe mate it with a loft a bit lower then 10.5 which usually doesnt balloon on me.
I find even the R flex to be very stiff, like a board to me. I used to like it more when I was swinging less smoothly. But as I have become smoother in tempo I find I dont get the kick I feel with other less stout shafts.
I use the Tour Stiff, and love it. Keeps the ball flight down to a mid-high level. I get lots of roll, and lots of length. Fantastic shaft if you've got the swing speed to get it to kick.
