I received my BD Shaft SS360/2 couple of months ago. When it first arrived, I had a problem with the diameter of the shaft. It was around 13.2 mm. When I played with it, the deflection was very high. I'm used to playing with a solid maple shaft and this new shaft played similar to my maple shaft.
I contacted Bob about this issue, and he agreed to pay for the work that the shaft needs to reduce the diameter to approx. 12.6 mm. He was very professional about it, and I appreciate that. Finally, I was able to test the reduced diameter shaft a few days ago with a new ultraskin medium tip. The deflection was much lower than what it was previously.
The hit is a bit softer than what I'm used to (I play with a Treadway Butt, which has a wood-to-wood joint and a radial pin). Once the tip hardens, it might feel a bit different. Overall, shaft isn't bad at all. It is quite stiff though. I'm planning to compare it against my friend's vantage, revo, OB and 314 shafts. I might not do it all at once, but if someone wants me to do a head-head comparison, I'm willing to do so.
I need to play a few weeks with this shaft to provide a better review.
For the price I paid, I'm not complaining. It's an great value for money compared to other shafts for sure.
