Go and read the 90 something pages on GolfWRX under the 9015D thread.

Don't buy one without talking to me first. I have contacts and cheap prices and stuff.

The SAGA love comes from all of the guys that were trying to find the best shaft for the 9015D.

My spare one has just been shafted with the SAGA and fit has had the first hit. His description via SMS last night....HAWT!

I'm very keen for a test. I'll pick it up soon, most likely Monday or Tues if he finishes my wedge.

I used to be a big fan of Harrison shafts, so I am slightly curious.

60 S...

....it was pretty HAWT. Don't know if it is the 'be all and end all', but it was a good combo.

The 10.5* with the 60 S just launched HIGH and penetrating and flat and just kept goin' & goin'. I was watching it and thinking when is the damn thing gonna start coming down. Didn't necessarily hit it further than normal, but the CARRY and flight was as good as anything I've hit in a 10*+ driver. EVER. Wouldn't mind either trying it in a 9.5* head for a little more forward roll at landing (there was some scope to bring the flight down WITHOUT losing carry distance IMO)...or try the 70 S in the 10.5* head.

Certainly promising for a first up test...

Reads like you hit your career shot.;) I'd stop there.

Some fine tuning required Ray...(that and another chance to ho around!!)

I just felt that the Angle of Descent was a little steep, and that the lightweight shaft (which I usually don't get on quite so well with) will exacerbate my tendency to get quick etc.

what price range are these shafts going for? Im liking the Adams but not 100% sure about the stock Matrix..

Very nice combo with the Adams IMO. Hit fits 10.5* with a 60 S flex. Feels good, a little whippy but it gives a nice ball flight!

What is the ball flight like?

Ummmm. That's mine.

Never said it wasn't. I only hit a few with it JC, but I would call it mid. You would have no problems getting it higher IMO.

It is very penetrating though, not sure why, but it keeps going.

Around $60US plus shipping. We are about to grab some things from Victory Custom Golf. You'd prob have one to your door for $80-90 if you are interested in joining a group buy.

I don't if i should go R or S...

Get S, you can always make it play a little weak to flex then tip it if necessary IMO. Best to ask Fit though. If you have a spare hour or three.
Yossarian

Yeah the S today played kinda soft.... Hmmm

Cheers Ads, I'm in a bit of a trial period with shafts atm and i really want to try as many shafts as possible before buying my next one. Pity I'm not in Perth where all the action is :(

I'm sure there will be a few purchased and then up for resale soon.

No...not really.

But you need to brush up on shaft fitting....getting the S flex with the intention of playing it softer/weaker, and then tip trimming if needed is ALL ARSE ABOUT!!! :shock:

The only thing YOU should be trimming is the beard...to give the women a break. It's turning too many people on, man !!!!
