George,
Usually, an SKF Lite Revolution Stiff weighs
about 63 grams. But, it's a 48" shaft, so trim
usually gets it down to 58-60 grams installed.
The Lite Rev shaft is very similar to the Pure
Energy, but firmer with a slightly lower
trajectory and tighter dispersion. It's probably
the best "golf course" shaft SKF has for strong,
long hitters, IMO. SKF just came out with a new
superlight shaft at 49-50 grams which they call
the Superfly. I got an A and an R to try and the
profile and feel of the shaft in general is
"wimpy." The UL-45's profile is stiffer farther
down the shaft and has a much more "solid" feel
to me at impact.

I agree, I have lost 3 stiff in the last 2
months. I have not tried the skf lite as a
replacement. what is the weight on that shaft

Well, one thing I have learned about the UL-45
(or Integra 45)...don't use it on a long driver
for guys 6' 4" with 100 mph+ swingspeeds. I put
a stiff on 4712" drivers for two "age
50-something" players who fell in that size
category and both did super with the club, but
broke the shaft right at the hosel top within
two months. I replaced them with an SKF Lite Rev
at the same NF4 deflection numbers and, even
with the bit of added weight, the results were
equally good. No problems with the Lite Revs.
For lower speeds and older seniors, the 45s work
very well...I've had my R on a BOM and hitting
it well since they came out. Oh yeah, except for
the retired lady who broke one in about 10
swings bouncing it off a hard mat into a 1"
rubber tee.

When I read the subject line I thought you had
both an Eagle and hole in one with your Traverse
driver. I was going to hire you as celebrity
spokesman!
I've had great feedback from my customers this year and appreciate yours.
I'm pretty sure that DTG 45 shaft is simply the
Integra 45 (or 50) rebranded. The Integra 45 or
50 (and DTG45) are great shafts, amazing at only
$29. The pearl white color is sharp, if that's
your thing. Info here

Traverse Hi-COR Driver
Well I finally have a Traverse Hi-COR review for
the driver head I got from John.
I mated it up to Bernie's recommendation, a DTG
FGS Ultralite 45 Wood (49 grams).
Installed a 1 gram and 5 gram weight to
counteract my slice tendency. Head 12* loft.
I know 1 + 5 grams will not counteract a slice,
but its what every salesman would say.
Grip is a discontinued 48 gram Lamkin Dual
Density green 0.58 RND. 45 inch long.
Total weigth = 285 grams. C3.4 with grip on /
D2.0 grip off. Club 5" frequency R-flex.
All I can say is WOW what a PERFORMER for MY
game. Definitely likes to hit straight.
I hit very few slices with it but I did with
other drivers. Didn't laser off any landing
spots.
It's nice to be 2nd longest off the tee on
occasion than to be dead last for 3 years.
I couldn't be more happy with its overall
performance so thanks John and Bernie!
Traverse Hi-COR head feels very solid at impact
and when I connect its real long.
At least real long for my swing. It will
definitely be staying in the bag long term.
Thanks again to Bernie and John.
Eagle and Hole-In-One
On another note, I entered a 4-person scramble
with my 2 sons and we were -10 after 17.
Duane drove the 370 yard par 4 (wind assisted)
while Dwight sunk the 50 foot eagle putt.
Ball found lower tier of the green otherwise it
might have snuggled right up close to the pin.
Got into the clubhouse with a -12 round for the
day. Good for a 3-Way Tie for Low Gross.
Then we found out the prize table was based on
random draw and Duane got to table last.
I then realized I love scramble format but hate
to win and not get early choice at prize table.
Duane won closest to the pin and a game earlier
he got his first hole-in-one so a great week.
