Played with Lambros Ultra LD shaft...
Ok, I had a chance to play with the Ultra LD shaft by Lambros and I will offer my opinion.
While still firm, does not have the same hit as the maple.
Lambros standard shaft with Ultra joint have such a nice hit and feel...not to mention very little deflection...that I can't see giving it up for a LITTLE less deflection.
I love the hit from the original shaft, and I've played with Predator shafts for 15 years, I'm telling you that this is the first time I've ever been able to play with a non-LD shaft !!! If you are an LD freak like me, do yourself a favor and try a Lambros-you'll be amazed.
