    Default Harrison Striper J review

    After the R7 TP snapped for 2 weeks I have putted 2 shafts into the head. 1stly the Accuflex C.A.S. then the Striper J. I like the Striper J more and the following is my review.

    Feel: Very very very smooth. I think it's smoother than the NV in terms of feeling. I can almost feel how the power got transferred from the butt end to the tip.

    Tracjectory: Definitely lower than the Accra I used to have... but the tip still pretty soft and still allow me to "kick" the ball high enough to get a decent tracjectory. Time to time Accra will give me a balloon but the J just penetrate the ball up and straight.

    Spin: Quite sure the shaft put some extra spins onto the ball. The roll is not as decent compare to the Accra but it's beautiful to watch how the ball goes in the air.

    Distance: Probably the shaft is a tick softer than the Accra, I am able to drive to ball very very far even with a little fade on it. A couple of 290 meters with U-Tri Tour so far

    Talking about fade.... in BSG ppl say the Accra is very hard to draw and it promotes a little fade... due to it's low torque. But I was able to draw it or fade it period (if I put a good swing). But with the J, it was very hard for me to draw the ball.... even I want to hit damn straight one it will promote a little fade no matter what. But with a good carry... I don't care anyway

    BIG THANKS TO davidp and 3oneday for supplying the shafts in that emergency time. I was really lost during the day without a driver

    Sounds like this thing will be a weapon off the deck.

    Glad you're happy with it Andylo. I'd be lost without my driver too.

    A-Ho, how do you go about comparing shafts with an evolving swing such as yours? Wouldn't a change in your swing change the effects of a shaft?
    Or were all of these shafts hit within a small period of time?

    A-Lo, glad you liked the shaft. It's a decent shaft with some very good reviews on it.

    Can't wait to see you perform at City with it.

    Mate, I don't wish to sound rude but your golflink indicates you play off 27, your last round was 41 over and you're reviewing shafts.

    So...?

    I guess I 3 to 4 putt everything doesn't mean I can't hit my driver. Beside you can ask a few OZGer how well I hit my driver, even in my slump form.

    By the way, that's why I don't do the review of my "The Putter"

    p.s. Scotty RedX.... its a keeper.

    Soon enough you'll get to know the people who have a similar game to yours. Their's will be the reviews to watch out for. Having the golflink in the sig is just one way of working out a relevance or perspective for somebody's opinions on here. Do you have a golflink hcap?

    Andylo - have you been on a launch monitor? What are your speed/tempo/launch angle details?

    Wow! that would explain the 290m drives then.... Maybe this year you'll take out the Ozgolf Champs Long Drive as well as the Nearest to Pin.

    How fast are your swing speeds for drives that hit fairways?

    But it has to landed on fairway right??

    I think while I am trying to improve my own game, most of OZG will have their game improved as well (both skills and equipment wise ) so I think it's not that easy to do that

    so am I, although 40% may be generous, maybe more like 30%, imagine if you used a 3 wood or, an iron

    A-Lo - drive for show, putt for dough.

    You can have your 290 metres with a slight draw, i'll take 220 with 3-wood all day.
