The 15.5º just makes sense. I can loft the driver down to 14.0º on the sleeve and it creates a really pleasing look at address while still being the auto-aim easy draw club that I love.

I love this shaft. I've now built it into 7 different hybrids and 4 driving irons and it performs every time. It's a really easy to launch shaft, which helps to get the ball spinning a bit more, a need that I have, without losing the ability to flight the ball down when needed.

Going back to ProjectX iron shafts feels like going back home for me. I was starting to lose some of the aggression that made my game work. Moving back to PX forces that aggression to come back, and the scores are starting to reflect the new-found control!

You may have noticed that my golf ball has changed. I did some extensive testing with the Callaway golf ball and that's going to be in the bag for now because I have confidence in its performance, but this is an all-out golf ball war now.

The Quantum really intrigued me in initial testing. It's actually really easy to hit off the deck, and I don't lose any off the tee performance compared to what I have right now in the R7 Quad. I'm not exactly confident with it off the deck, but if I am going to choose a mini for off the deck performance, it's going to be this one.

On a recent trip to Fujikura I spent some time grinding with the team to figure out what current shaft profile they have that could work for what I want. I was sad to see the TR Blue change as much as it did with the new version, but we worked into a TR Velo+ Red that's tipped 1.5" and plays at 45.50". Stabilize the tip, soften up the handle... and I saw some fun speed gains.
