Older TPS/Louisville shaft flex rating

[sickwilly 37]

I have a TPS Tricore shaft that is rated as 120/XF stiffness. It feels quite a bit more flexible than my R flex XN10 Redlite did, and I think that was a 95. Does anyone know what the 120/XF rating is comparable to in other brands?

Thanks in advance for any help!

I want to say XF was more like whip but it also could have been a step between what became R and W. I also think R was 145 and S was 175 or something like that in the older measurements

Thanks, Chadd.... I think you're right. Something between whip and regular fits.

I remember that stiff was 145 on the old Rubber/Tricore shafts.

Is that a junior shaft, I remember having 2 Rubber shafts and a TriCore that were all S flex and 145.

I think it went;

Whip - 90

Xtra Flex - 120

Regular

Stiff - 145

X Stiff - 170

If I remember right, regular was generally considered 95 and stiff was 105 on a traditional scale

Didn't mean anything by it. Just wanted to show off my old Tri-Core ?

But it is the tiny feeling rounded version. You can have it.

But it makes my hands look bigger. ?
