I went from the BOM to the Bangenstein as a tribute to the USGA. The BOM
has a PL Blue 75 S flex in it and the Bangenstein has an Evo R flex. I
couldn't hit the broad side of the driving range with the BOM. Totally
gruesome! That solid feel and solid hit the Bangenstein makes has become
engrained in my psyche, I suppose! The most memorable thing was how
light the BOM felt. Glad I got the 75 instead of the 65 if I ever try to
use it again. FWIW the Evo R flex plays a lot stiffer than the PL Blue S
flex.

IMO, its not the clubhead - its the shaft that you are more comfortable
with. I have two BOM's with two different shafts - one I like and the other
I don't.

I suspect you are right. It is surprizing to me that the PL Blue 75 feels so
light in comparison with the Evo though. I have to be very grateful to Accuflex
for coming out with a sturdy nanotechnology in the 80 buck price range. The
Bangenstein head is a lot more sturdy than the BOM though, in the way it sounds
anyways.

Robert,

In my experience with the BOM (because I've had two of them - one as a
warranty replacement) these heads are quite inconsistent..one to the
other. My first one performed optimally and as expected, with real zing
off the clubface and true high COR distance. Unfortunately an annoying
rattle developed which I was unwilling to attempt to fix myself during
the warranty period.....so the head was replaced under warranty with
another of the same specs. That second head has NEVER worked properly!
Perhaps yours is from the same batch!

On the other hand the Bangenstein head features noticeably in the bags
of the LDA champions. Mr Almo must have got it right with this one! I'm
interested in yours, specs, loft, club length, swingweight etc?

I've recently noted that the LDA have the same size and COR limitations
as are dictated by the R&A and USGA (460cc and 0.830) ....and the max.
length of 50" although measured differently, equates to the 48" limit
imposed by the RoG.

Now, those guys are almost getting close to RSG distances with their
Bangensteins....they MUST be good!

cheers

A good chance of that. It has never been a good club for me.

Mine is 45", SW D7. 10 degree loft. The shaft is not tipped at all. That's
with the Winn Excel XF grip. THe SW might change a tad with the Star Grip.
