Here's my first report on the 21� Rescue I reshafted. I hit it on the range first. Ball flight was much higher than with the original Bubble shaft, which is what I was hoping for. Distance was in the 185 - 190 yd range. Feel was softer than I expected with the 268 cpm shaft. I used it only twice on the course. First time from about 185 out. The ball ended up about 5 yards past the target green (I missed the green right.) Second time was from 4" rough, 185 from the green. The ball popped out low and hot and reached the front of the green. Based on that very short trial, I'm really happy with the result. Of course, the honeymoon is in early times.
I have an 18� rescue that I'll reshaft - if I can find a shaft that exhibits the same characteristics as the TM S90 Lite that I put in the 21�. More as events occur.
