Finally got the plus shaft in hand after some delays. All I can say is WOW.
Hits like a solid shaft, and moves the ball well. Im using the piloted 5/16 14 on a Schon butt, and it hits every bit as solid as a Schon shaft. Not quite as hard do to the softer ferrule, but there is no hollowness to this shaft like there is with Predator.
Squirt wise, its far less than a 314 IMO. I didnt do any type of measurments, just going off of observations of shooting a lot of balls with a 314 shaft. I bought a used older style OB classic a while back to be used as a backup, and it squirts a bit more than 314, so whatever OB did to reengineer the front end worked and worked well on the Plus shafts. I can force the old OB classic and the 314 to squirt, I couldnt make the Classic + squirt more than about 1/4-1/2" on table length shots with spin. It has a really pulled back taper, without measuring it I would guess 15-16 inches, yet its not whippy.
If you like the LD shafts, and want something that offers Z shaft similar squirt in a 12.75mm tip size I highly reccomend this shaft.
So thanks to Royce and team for a great made in the US LD shaft!
