Hi, anybody knows where can I find this in Singapore?
Is there any golf fitting shop doing this?
Or if I order from USA, can any golf fitting shop do for me?

I attached a link for more details.

Surprising these 'air-con insulation' looking sponge works!

Was feeling some tingy feeling on the elbows after I switched to DGS300, so I decided to insert the ProSofts at the butt of the shafts. The 'sore' at the elbow went away, psychological? But who cares as long as it do not affect the feel or affect the swing weight.

Was contemplating sensicore inserts but they are expensive and add couple of grams to the shafts.

Ever tried cork plugs in the hosel and middle part of the shaft? That works too. And cheap.

Hey,

a few years ago when i was still a newbie in Golf.
I met an American Pro in our country, Rick Gibson, in our nearby Pro Shop.

I was inquiring about TT sensicore....
and rick told me he put plastic straw inside his steel shaft, accdg to him it works.

I haven't tried it out, but I saw him doing it for his irons

I'm sure there are many ways to dampen vibrations for shaft but don't use Vibra-X from Golfsmiths - it affect the impact feel and its difficult to remove.

Whatever you put into the shaft, ensure that it doesn't add additonal weight (affecting the swing weight), does not move after installation, easy to install & remove. For the various commercial inserts, different insertion depth are recommended.

Because it's one piece thus no gaps in between to cause vibrations and recoils internally???

Ha...ha..... I don't hit sweet enough to prevent the vibration........

Anyway, I think it helps to reduce vibration from taking 'divots' off the the hard driving range mat
