Yea that is a sweet setup. That would be my shaft of choice if they weren't $200. I still might save up for one.

Anyway, I hit the Alpha C830.2 Plasma today. It had a Grafalloy Prolaunch Blue 65x in it. Lemme tell ya, this thing sets up to the ball so well. It looks great. I feel like there is no way I can mishit it. I hit the first few to the right b/c I'm used to my R540 with the stiff TM shaft, which if you ask me isn't all that stiff.

Anyway, I started swinging it a bit better and WOW. It had just rained for about an hour so the course was pretty wet still. I was still hitting 320 on the good ones with little roll. It's easily 10-15 yards longer than my R540, if not 20. It has a really good ball flight with this shaft. It still goes pretty high due to my natural ball flight, but not as high as my R540. It has a really deep face, so I can tee it down a little to get it to go lower. I can't get over how hot the face is on this club. When I hit it solidly, it just blasts off the thing and carries forever. Amazing.

The sound. Very loud plink. The R540 was just kind of a plink that had a somewhat hollow sound to it. This one is a little higher pitched and louder. It resonates a little longer too. Gave me chills the first couple of swings.

I'm going to do some more testing on this thing if I can work it right to left. All I could get out of it today on 10 swings or so was an incredibly straight ball and a light fade; obviously due to me not being used to the performance of the shaft. If you can ever get your hands on one, I'd highly recommend it.

Can't wait to hit it again!
