Graphite Design ys5+

Reshafted my TM CGB Max with a Graphite Design Tour AD ys5+ stiff.

It's a match made in heaven. Compared to the stock Re-ax (stiff Japanese which felt very harsh), this one is smooth without being whippy. It's a surprise since the ys5+ measured 254 cpm vs the Re-ax's 247 cpm.

At the driving range, I measured my swing speed using my Suunto G6 watch and got an average of 94 mph -- perfect for this shaft, according to GD's Perf-Fit Guide.

It gave a more boring trajectory, plus dispersion is tighter. I also don't have to muscle it and can therefore get distance while making a more controlled swing.

I can't wait to bring it to the fairways!
