![]() The only shaft that will hold any light to the Titleist player is the Project X 7C3 6.0 shaft. The Aldila RIP 60 is also not entirely like the real shaft, we flex tested them here and found that the Titleist one has a higher torque reading ( plays softer in the tip) and is much softer in flex ( about 1 flex range less on the frequency machine). Even with the adjustable head you can’t get any of these three shafts to square the head up once the ball speed goes above 150 mph. The kali is the strongest of the three but is a very poor copy of the original with massive spin numbers and very high flight. The ‘ilima is the softest of the three with a very soft tip section and even in X Flex plays very soft, the ‘ahina is a little stronger than ‘ilima but is still really flexible at impact and with the shorter hosel you cannot go after the driver and hit it hard as it lags too much into the hit. These are by no means like the original “real” versions of the Diamana shafts and Mitsubishi have taken a big risk in putting their name on a shaft that bears absolutely no resemblance to their real shafts that are in play on Tour. Which leads on to the shaft matrix and what you can buy at no extra up-charge. This should not be mistaken for the real thing and I can assure everyone that the “made exclusive” shaft plays and feels nothing like the real version. ![]() ![]() There is a big move to dual branded shafts with Diamana making an exclusive shaft for Titleist. Most of the golf companies are cutting corners to try and save on cost and they are reducing the quality of the shafts in their drivers and fairway clubs. Now I know I am always on about the shaft but in this driver case, it is by far the most prevalent. The better player with stronger ball speed might not like the feel of this “softer” driver and will need to be very cautious about his shaft choice in order to have the club play solid with less hooking qualities. The shaft and head connection does not feel as solid and the driver head is definitely has more torque feel to it. The new 910 has a shorter hosel which may not sound too relevant but it makes the driver feel and play a whole lot different, With a shorter hosel comes a softer shaft feel through impact. There have been a few rumours about the different shafts that are available and we can honestly say the driver itself is very good but there are a few interesting points to highlight that might help you with your decision to buy one.įirstly the head design is quite good but there is a new and different shaft depth in the hosel. We had to wait a couple of weeks to see the new Titleist 910 test pack. ![]()
