I upgraded to Titleist AP2's with the DG S300 shafts a few months ago, probably in November. I was using AP1s but wanted something with a little stiffer shaft.

After a few months of giving them a chance, I just can't do it anymore. Those shafts weigh a ton, and it feels like I'm swinging a 2x4. I can't feel the clubhead and I can't load the shaft to save my life. Anybody else ever play these and have the same problem?

I sold the set on ebay yesterday, and ordered another set of AP1s

Never had trouble with s300s. A bit of trouble with x100s, but not those.

Just got rained off. +4 thru 9

FML

And it was wet to begin with. I'll just clean these damn clubs and watch people play golf on t.v. for the foreseeable future.

Congrats on the AP1's.

I'm going through the same thing right now. I've had the AP2s for almost 2 years now, and I've noticed my distances have been about 5-10 less than what I upgraded from. I just rolled with them until I got frustrated enough to see if I needed something else. Sure enough, they're too heavy and a tad too stiff for me. The Mizuno shaft optimizer fitted me for the Project X 5.0 (Flighted 5.5) or the Dynalite Gold XP S300. I'm looking at going to AP1s or trying out the new Callaway X Hot Pros. I have a 6 iron demo of the X Hot Pro and it goes a mile, but that's probably because it's 27 degrees.

If you don't mind me asking, how much did you get for your AP2s on Ebay?
