Age/Hdcp: 75yrs / 2 index

Swing speed: 86~88mph

Shaft: FF38 glossy blue carbon

Installation of the FreeFlex shaft went very well. I had two grips with same gram weight and sacrificed one by razor cutting it down the side. 

This way I did not have to blow grips on and off to measure swing weight. Butt trimmed four half inch increments leaving the shaft at forty four inches, 

which came to D1 at 46 inches overall(used a Golf Pride 4plus4 grip  55 grams). 

I did run the spine down the back of the club, not really knowing front or back.

Game Day. My warm up practice swings made a different sound- a higher pitch sound.  

Could not sense any transition or feel difference from a Graphite Design XC regular flex. In practice swings. 

If anything the club felt heavier and the flex point closer to the grip. 

I gained some distance on drives for the first three holes - five to eight yards.  Hole four, hit over a lake that I have been playing down the side of. 

18yard improvement. Going on, I hit a number of good drives, some that should have hooked badly but didn't.

The shaft seems to square the face even with bad transition and with good swings the smash factor has to be the highest I have ever experienced. 

Toe hits just go straight and do not start right and hook into the fairway. 

I can safely say that I have gained 10 yards and with good swings 15 yards. 

I have not teed the ball up very much, but the launch angle is good and better than the above XC shaft.

I contacted you for distance and got that, but I appreciate the improvement in dispersion just as much. 

I will trade a duck hook for a little pull with good smash factor any day.
