PW shaft

[adam]

I dented my rifle 5.5 shaft on my PW and brought it to golf town to get it re-shafted. I got a dynamic gold s300 installed because they had no rifles and I was told it would be fairly similar because of the shortness of the club. Possibly a bit lower ball flight. Just like to hear some opinions if anyone knows a lot about different steel shafts.

My entire set of 09 Burners have been fitted with Dyn Gold S300 shafts after a 1 hour fitting at Kevin Haime. It was the only, of about 20 shafts tested, that kept the ball from ballooning up on me.

Its a pretty heavy shaft these days in comparison with others but I love the feel, and find I know exactly where the club head is at all times.

In fact, quite a few wedges come factory with the S200 or S300 shafts, Vokey's included.

Just my two cents.

Rifle 5.5 and DGS300 have a completely different feel for me, especially on full swings.

Your best bet is to alternate between your 9i and PW for a few shots. If you can't tell the difference (or if you can and it doesn't matter) then you are set.

I thought that this place was supposed to be THE place to go for all your golfing needs. They could have easily picked up a 5.5 at the local supplier of components or one of the certified Rifle fitters in the area to get you what you wanted. Instead, they fed you a line about the DG's beeing similar because they had them in stock and more than likley would not know what to do with a Rifle product.

JV is correct in saying that these 2 shafts are not even close feel wise. If you have 5.5's in your irons and you lke them, you defenitly don't want a DG in 1 club


This type of situation is common and it drives me nuts ! because they get away with it all the time.

Bring me the club and I will install a 5.5 for you, No Charge !!

adam, I have a rif 5.5 that you can take the DHS that he can install for free i'll have to give you the 4i shaft however as I need the pw shaft

You might also want to try the rifle spinner shafts if you have px in your irons. I have them in my wedges and love them. I got mine at golfworks on Inustrial last year.

That's a generous offer, but you can't put a 4i taper shaft in a PW, it will be way too soft.

Good point. I did not have most of my faculties engaged while on my tirade.

Are we dealing with a .355 hosel or .370 ?

What make of head is it ?

Faculties now fully engaged, it dosen't matter what the size is but I would like to know what the head is.

The head is a Callaway x-tour. It is a forged head, not sure what size the hosel is.
