Any VooDoo love around here?

[MegaWatty]

I'm thinking about trying an SVS6 but there doesn't seem to be much talk about it. So who has one (enter 3OD), and what's it like?

[Jarro]

I tried Peter_rs' Adams 9015D with the stock VooDoo and it felt great ..... very solid and a lot of kick in that shaft 8)

That'd be my exact setup. Shame I can't try Daggs' setup. :(

[Jarro]

They're not that expensive ATM.

If you could get one at a good price i'd say it'd be a worthwhile investment.... even if you haven't hit one ;)

[MegaWatty]

$109 delivered.

[Jarro]

$109 delivered.

Buy it !!!!!!!!!!!!

[KristianJ]

I saw that price on the Bay as well, MW...I'm half tempted to grab one to try in my 9015D, even though the JAVLNFX M7 is working quite well. Seems a very good price compared to the prices that they're going for in the US.

[MegaWatty]

Seems dirt bloody cheap!

I think they have labelled the VS7 incorrectly though. I was looking at getting a SVS7 for my 3 wood as well, but they are listing a RVS7 as Stiff. I'm guessing that's what the first letter means in the shaft name. S for stiff and R for reg?

[TheNuclearOne]

Yup.

Would seem that way.

[MegaWatty]

Hmm the specs on his ebay page also has the specs for a stiff version rather than the reg. I'll flick him a query.

Jees I hope I'll be able to load this puppy!

$109 delivered when folk are selling them for $200USD ?

Is it too good to be true ?

I thought the Titty Voodoo felt better personally ;)

He's also got NVs. :)

These the ones you are talking about? Just bought some NVs off him.

[MegaWatty]

Yup

How can $89 be for a real shaft ?

[MegaWatty]

I was very dubious about the pricing. I'm thinking it might be a pull...I guess it's still new if it's a pull but never been hit???

Are his NV's at $49 plus $20 postage at the right price?

[3oneday]

Don't know about the NV either, one seller in the US is at $40 a piece.

Unless he has some contact at Aldila, or he hijacked a truck. $40 difference between their crap shaft and their top line shaft is dodgy.

[MegaWatty]

I've sent the question about it being a pull and their authenticity. He responded to the first question about SVS7 stock pretty quickly and also included his mobile number. It seems strange to have stock of different flexes and weights if they weren't genuine. Surely a fake VooDoo wouldn't have the very obvious inner core in it?

Golf List/Tornys have the NVs for $52 so seems to be around the going rate.

Not sure about the Voodoos?, I thought about getting one too but the price seemed to be too good so I hesitated for now. Suspect they are made for pulls, but you can only ask. He has been good to deal with so far.

[Oldplayer]

I had a svs6 put into my 905r head a couple of months ago and am very happy with it. It feels very stable and seems to load well and release with good kick. It dosen't however feel too active in the tip so I can go after one if I wish. I have it in stiff but for an aftermarket shaft I would have to say it plays a little soft to flex. Although it is not too whippy for me it wouldn't want to be any softer. It has worked very well in the titleist and the combo has produced some very solid and long results. Tradjectory is mid to mid-high. Everyone is different of course but this shaft has been an excellent fit for me and I would certainly recommend it. For the record I paid $180 fitted.

[Tomson]

I have some pretty good contacts and the cheapest I have seen are no where near that price, and a voodoo for $180 fitted thats cheap as well.

[MegaWatty]

I've left a message for him to give me a buzz...

[MegaWatty]

I spoke to the guy on the phone and was told they are the real deal and that they are an over shipment to the Aussie disty that just wants to clear them.

So I've dived in and ordered one for my Driver and one for my 3 wood. If any WA blokes want any, let me know tonight and I will buy them tonight before paying tomorrow morning for them.

Wish me luck!

[3oneday]

Good luck, you must be due for some by now :shock:

[MegaWatty]

LOL!

I reckon you're right. We'll see what happens with the Tour 360's during the week. Surely something has to go wrong there first!

:roll:

[Daves]

My NVs arrived today (only ordered on Thursday!) Very well packaged and each shaft in the original plastic, with factory stickers etc. So tempted to order a Voodoo or two!

He doesn't have many VooDoos left.

[Lucasto23]

Do it, Voodoo is money :)

Ho pimp!:lol:

[Lucasto23]

;) you know you want one and it's like the AMG to those NV's you bought anyway :)

[TourFit]

The Voodoo is a good shaft...as it should be for the price they go for !! They are designed to be an active tip / softer playing shaft (hence the recent realease of the stiffer tipped version, the NV Voodoo, which is a green colour funnily enough!)

That shaft profile should suit your feel characteristics MW, a little kick and tip feel with a slightly higher launch angle. At that price you should just go for it.

I was 'thinking' of getting you to get me one, but I have so many untouched shafts lying around that I'd better start using them first !!!

[Daves]

;) you know you want one and it's like the AMG to those NV's you bought anyway :)

The Voodoos are a little higher launch than the NVs and that is my main hesitation (Mid vs Lower/Mid). The NV Voodoo would probably be ideal, but he doesn't have any of those:cry:

I have swung the made for Voodoos in Tittys and Cobras and they are soft as you know. They also launched a bit higher than I like. Torque in the made fors is 4*+, vs 3.5* in the real deals. Has anyone tipped one to see how they firm up?

[Lucasto23]

not yet, but soon so will let you know. Just as a side note daves, i little more lauch increases carry and generally overall distance ;)
Having watched you drive a ball, high launch angle is not a problem for you :)

[sms316]

The Voodoos are a little higher launch than the NVs

Really? I couldn't get the Voodoo off the ground. Horrible shaft.

Try picking it up...hold at the thin, soft, rubbery end

[MegaWatty]

Shafts arrived today via express courier! Great service and they're the real deal!

If they still have em...and you want some VooDoo....go get em!!!

[TourFit]

Does that mean I am to expect a visit sometime next week ?? ;)

[MegaWatty]

Tomorrow? ;)

[Daves]

I am about to order a couple, anyone else in Brisbane wanting one? before I pull the trigger.

how do you know ?

Nice work though :)

[MegaWatty]

The Aldila markings on the top of the shafts that are handwritten are normally a good indication. Also, the VooDoo S-Core internals are clearly visible.

[TourFit]

Missed your post MW about tomorrow...(now today!).

Erm, may be pushing it. But why not give me a call after lunch and see how I'm travelling...you never know?

I'm betting they will be the shiznit for you...if not, then STOP !!!

[MegaWatty]

You reckon chuck it in my 9.5 or my 10.5 gamer?

[MegaWatty]

Interesting thing about the two shafts. The VS6 is made in China and the VS7 Taiwan.

[TourFit]

Put the Voodoo in your non VS Proto head...don't mess with it for now!! At least then you'll have ONE driver that is working.

Test the Voodoo in the other 9015D, and set it up for swingweight, length and flex (feel will be the same)...then if it needs alteration for ballflight or spin, swap it over to the other head.

Ultimately it may end up better in the 9.5 head, BUT that will depend how you hit the ball trajectory wise. You are a relatively low hitter yes?? If so the 10.5 may be better because the head is still low spin so the loft would help !!! Maybe. Testing first is good.

[MegaWatty]

Mid ball flight.

Of course, who knows what both the lofts truly are?

[TourFit]

I can measure them for you !!!! Will be within 0.5* or so to REAL measurement.

As a side note, it is sometimes difficult to TRULY measure, accurately, deep faced drivers due to the face roll that's built in to the club...below the 'centre point' (for want of a better term) the loft is usually lower as you move down the face and higher as you move upwards from the centre.

Generally, that is why a lot of people find they have better results when they tee the ball up higher...usually due to hitting the ball, in reality, with slightly MORE loft. That helps a lot more people than you would think (especially 'cos most people buy drivers with not enough loft!!!)

[MegaWatty]

The shafts are installed into a 9015D and BUL 3 wood.

TourFit has confirmed that they'd be genuine knowing where they have come from. :)
