When regripping Taylor Made with Rifle shafts I have found that R-80 = 4.5
and S-90 = 5.5 according to Rifle tags on the shaft butt.
My own limited experience is that the S-90 Rifle is a lot stiffer (both on
the bench and in play) than the S-90 graphite. Apparently Taylor Made felt
that guys who want steel shafts are a different species from those who
want graphite, and they want to play a much stiffer club.
Dave & Arnie,
Thanks for your help. I guess that I will buy them. 5.5 might be a bit (
don't know I have never hit a rifle) stiff for me, but given that the set
has a 2i & 3i, both of which I don't carry, there is plenty of room to
soften that designation. Was hoping to hear that these shafts play just
like "real" rifles.
When I see an Adams logo on a NV shaft, I have no clue whether that is the
exact same NV as one without the Adams logo. Maybe when I get a NF4 I will
get the answer on this. My assumption is that the specs on the NV have
been altered to what Barney wanted them to be. Then again ... as Colonel
Klink would say, "I know nothing".
I have never had the opportunity to hit both the steel and graphite of the
same model. That must have been an interesting comparison. What
similarities did you feel or notice in the ball flight?
