Kurt, I think members here are just expressing the truth. Some might have written in a way that provokes unnecessary misunderstandings among members on this forum, but they simply stated the truth. If you're convinced that these laminated shafts don't fit into your routine, then I'd recommend to get a Mezz shaft. They are high quality LD shafts.
The truth is, however, in within your stroking ability. Replace the shaft, if needed, but pay particular attention to how it happened.
Mezz shaft...cool, thanks for the recommendation. Fixing my stroke is going to take a while, and I need a shaft in the meantime...so as long as I can find a low deflection shaft that won't break on me, then I can concentrate on fixing the stroke.
edit- I checked the mezz website..there are 4 shafts...
wd700
hybrid pro II
alpha hybrid
deep impact pro
Do you have any experience with these shafts..what are the primary differences? It's hard to determine that from the description on their website..
