Toying with the idea of getting one put in a 913 D2... Who has hit it ? Feel? Trajectory? Spin? Flex?

Thanks

Phil

I am experimenting with an R flex version in an AMP driver.

Current driver shaft is the Fubuki 64g R flex MP630 driver and the reduction by 14 g is very noticable.

Trajectory is higher with the Phenom but the shaft itself provides a surprisingly solid feedback.

Even with my 89 and slowing speed speed I prefer something I feel I can "lean on" when a nice wide fairway presents itself. When I have tried 50g shafts in the past, they feel "thin" (thinner walls - less shock absorbtion) but not the Phenom.

I'm currently swinging the 50 gram Tour X and its one of the best shafts I have ever used in my life. I swing it a few MPH faster, but because it is lighter I also hit it a little higher. I'd recommend getting a lower loft than you're used to when shafting it with the 50 gram version.
