Re-shafting for R7 Limited TP

Hi friends,

i recently purchased a R7 Limited TP driver, but found the shaft to be too stiff.

Can anyone advice if you have any lobangs for re-shafting?

The shaft diameter is 0.335 and cant fit into some shafts.

Thanks in advance

Hi, You can go to far east shopping centre at level 2. I think there's 2 shop there doing re-shafting. They also have 2rd hand shaft. New shaft about $170 above. I'm also using R7 Limited & i'm using Prolaunch by Grafalloy 55S.

Thanks FD.

How much did did it cost u to re shaft?

I got my R7 with the shaft. Thinking of changing it to Reg. I think it cost 170?

im using the matriz ozix. too stiff for me. thinking of changing into a more reg flex

it depends on the shaft that you want.

easily $500 some for a premium Diamana Shaft

or as low as $150 for a more average-priced shaft....

no problem to fit the TP on most shaft.

I know because i have one and have switched alot of shafts btwn the heads.

is fujikura shafts decent?

fujikura also has a huge range of shafts.

the better-priced vista pros to the Z-coms to the legendary speeders.....

it really all depends on the specs that u want and the shaft quality that you like...

i see thanks. i go research a bit

You can also incl Graman as part of yr considerations. They are very reasonably price and good value for money.

yup, i spoke to a chap at the range yesterday and he refered me to bishan to have a look at the graman shaft.

Looks great.

i've been thinking of getting my r7 ltd driver reshafted as well.. any idea how much a graman shaft costs?

andrew, i strongly suggest u to go to a clubfitter to get an opinion. unless u know what u like or have in mind what kind of specifications that you are searching for in a shaft, i would strongly recommend that you go and look for a professional clubfitter to sort you out.

gramans are priced from $200 onwards.

Gramans do have their $500 shafts as well.

I tried MC's R7 Limited / Graman combo once and thought the feel was good, so I bought a R7 TP limited from ebay & got it fitted with the Graman 5 series to replicate the feel & control (shaft fitted to my swing of course)

oh. that was R7 Limited TP v.1.

now is v.2 liao..

How do I know which version I have?

the one with the white one is version 1..

the one with the kajiki is version 2...


hahahaha...

I had my S9 fitted with Graman, all going well till I play with local Pro, (he is very long hitter), but always complains it goes to high.

He used it on 2 holes and it was HUGE... 16th hole at Sembawang 335 Mtres uphill, he was about 15 from the green... yes he made the birdie!

Needless to say I dont have that driver anymore he wont give it back.

So now I have to go back to Eric with my hat in my hand and say" please sir may I have some more"?

I could make up some story how I was mugged or something......

Anyway back to the thread. Yes Graman are good shafts....

gosh this is putting all sorts of funny ideas in my head.. tempted to go out and splurgee!

HaHaha

Thanks muar chee. Actually that was on my mind to consult a club fitter to look at my swing first before committing.

I cant drive far. bout 210 to 220. just want to have a consistent drive in the fairway and then work out and build more strength.

A stable driver is very important. Or a stable shaft

210 - 220 good enough lo, as long as on the fairway.

anyway, if u need club fitter to look at your swing, i think the best person to do that would be eric at BFG bukit merah.. also the best place to get Graman shafts, u will find out why when you go there...

anyway AK, i don't know if i should believe your story on the graman shafts or not.. it is not that i don't believe that the graman shaft are so good.. but u actually allowed someone to take your club and not return it?!! where's the kiwi fighter in you?!!?!?!!

sorry...abit OB (more like hazzard)..but still on shaft......any view on 2nd hand shaft? worth getting or trying?

i tried the graman shaft last saturday

A dude whacked me on the face with his driver accidentally while practice swing. Laughs.

We ended up talking and i told him abt my driver.

I tried his gramam shaft and its alright. But not the flex for me.

hmm, flex can be adjusted, depending on the way u cut the shaft and tip the shaft.

duval, my view on 2nd hand shaft, if it is properly taken out, and it is what u want, then by all means, take it.. better still, got run in before..
