Picked up today a Ping 9* G425 LST Driver with the Ping Tour shaft.

Doubt that I stay with that shaft, so would like to hear some alternative shafts.

Calloway Epic Speed 10.5 with Oban Kiyoshi Purple 5/65 (stiff flex / 65 grams).

I think I have the loft turned down to 9.5 at the moment.

Ping g425 LST 9* Tour AD IZ 6x shaft.

Yes I spent way too much money. It depends on what you want out of the shaft. There are so many to choose from, it’s tough to make a sure decision without getting fitted. HZRDUS is a pretty good standard shaft with several different options. The website will tell you what might fit you the best based off your speed and tempo.

We're basically best friends now. Is 05 xstiff? I have 05 but it plays stiff. Does the tip make yours x? Mine is definitely a strong stiff. I was right on the cusp of needing xstiff (105-106 club speed.)

Oban makes great shafts. I played a Devotion years ago and really liked it.

The Purple sounds interesting.

I can’t speak on the IZ but the tour AD DI is very stable and not whippy without being overly firm or boardy

I was fit into the Isawa Red 55. Regular flex but has the right stiffness at the tip. Really excited to see how it translate to the course.

AD makes IZ. IZ is the younger brother of the DI. Very similar profile with better materials. Higher launch with low spin. Tour AD makes the IZ, DI, XC, GP, etc. The XC is the younger brother of the old BB.
