[kar]

For sale is a near new (only hit it with a few balls) R11 TP Alpha 60 stiff shaft with R11 TP tips. It comes from a brand new R11 driver, I hit it a few times and then change it back to my old shaft. I want $160 + postage from ACT for it.
Thanks for looking.

Your going to have to adjust your price their mate...

You might get $40 if you are lucky.

I was thinking the same. High end premium price for a made-for shaft.

[Johnny Canuck]

I thought they didn't do made for rips.

Really . . . ??? This is Aldila right ? The company that will sell anything to anyone at whatever price point they can get away with ...

I think that rumour started in GolfWRX with one bloke from Aldila crossing his heart and saying it the same shaft they offer on tour.

He is probably right - Aldila quality control was never that good, every now and then - you MUST fluke apon a good one.

I thought the same until I looked into it a bit.

[virge666]

Exactly,

The only time it is not a "made for" shaft - is when the shaft does not have the club head manufacturer's graphics on it.

Titleist and Hogan were last to do that in this country... Titleist still do.

[Johnny Canuck]

The rips in the Adams 9064 have no manufacturer graphics. Are they legit?

Mate,

If they look identical to the OEM shaft - then it is an OEM shaft.

Easy.

Sweet. Will be putting it to the test on lunch today.

[davepuppies]

the 910 RIP is the real deal right????

I am after a made for R11 Diamana Ahina shaft if you can find one I'll triple your $40.00 for you.

roger.

[brenton2766]

should have taken my deal

[virge666]

Sorry mate - No... A real Ahina shaft is about $350 on it's own. An OEM shaft will not have "Made for exclusively for Titleist" on it.

Take an inch off the tip to get somewhere close to how a real one plays.

Seriously - you would pay $120 for a "Made for" shaft ???

I guess one is born every day . . .

They are exactly the same except for the graphic printed on the shaft.

[brenton2766]

I always thought they were genuine just painted up to match the white head

[rubin]

not quite mate. A made for is generally a far cheaper version painted up to look similar (but not identical) with the OEM companies graphic on it.

. . . and that is a real Motore F1 in your 3 wood too.

So whats the difference between the TP version and not in the r11? apart from the cash of course

[rubin]

In the R11 with the stock Blur - about 5 grams. the normal is a 60S, and the tp is a 65s (from memory). The Original idea behind the TP model clubs, was to give the better players/stronger players a different profile shaft (tip stiff or whatever the case may be). Unfortunately that has gone by the way side.

[davepuppies]

Virge - 910 RIP has no reference to titleist on it whatsoever?????

I heard both the project X and RIP were real deal......

Perhaps you can enlighten further?

[3oneday]

Check the specs on the TM site and the shaft manufacturers site. Generally they are subtley different.

You are correct, if your shaft doesn't have "exclusively for Titleist" then it's real. The local pros sell them under $150 too, got my Ahina for $120 but I'm not good enough to tell one shaft from the next.

[rubin]

Kar - consider this thread jacked. :D your welcome.

virge is talking about ahinas. they are made for. I was answering davepuppies question re rip shafts.

I'll mind my own business then.

Trying to sell a shaft here is not easy. I have been called a Donkey and whatever that is born everyday. I suppose a 'price too high' would be sufficient. Thanks a lot guys.

[Johnny Canuck]

Change the thread title to oem vs. Made-for, lower your price and start a new for sale thread.

[Johnny Canuck]

PS - You're welcome! (rubin, please note the apostrophe).

You'll get $35 for the tip!!!!

As i said mate - as long as it is identical to an OEM shaft - it is an OEM shaft.

If it says made for or has the clubmakers logo on it - then is a cheap dodgey version that corrupts the brand.

Sorry confused everyone with my post.

Stop sulking with the passive agressive shit - post 4 says rather nicely - lower your price mate, you wont get that amount of cash for a made for shaft. You started the arguement, dont cry when you dont get your way.

==============

A bit of back story...

The problem with expensive shafts is that bugger all people can actually use them. If anyone has actually used an expensive OEM shaft, you need to go down a flex and about 10gr to get enough spin and height on your ball flight, so when Tiger is using a Blueboard 83gr shaft, the only way to sell it to the public is to soften the tip, build it a touch lighter and then get it in the mainstream with a major manufacturer.

TM started this with the 757 Speeder with their TP models, which was actually a Vista Pro 70gr shaft.

Since then, it has been refined more and more. Diamana, Fujikura, Graphite Design, Aldila and many others have sold their shafts under this model.

This causes so many problems for people seeking replacement shafts, it is usually cheaper to replace the whole club than the shaft and if the client actually ponies up the money for a replacement shaft - he wont be able to hit the bloody thing.

As said above - if your shaft has "made for" or the club head manufacturers logo on it - it is not an OEM shaft, it is not even close. But the good news is - that is not always a bad thing.

:) :) :)

[Yossarian]

I don't think he is sulking.

[rowey]

When looking at a Mitsubishi Diamana shaft...it is easy to see the difference between the "Made for" & OEM....

I have both 'ilimas, & the OEM has only ONE Diamana emblem with a different silver band, where the "Made for" has TWO Diamana emblems.....

I think the 'ahinas are the same.

If you actually look at their site & compare specs there is a lot of difference.
