Ok I am dating myself a bit but here is all I can remember about this shaft. It was made by true temper, and it was ahead of its time, lighter weight but still a high kick point. If I remember correctly though it was a much larger diameter in the butt ent, something like .620 or .640 and it took a Hogan grip to fit it.
Feedback
The idea behind the Legend shaft design was to further reduce the overall weight of the club by reducing the weight of the grip. The lighter grip was achieved by a larger shaft butt diameter, which required a grip that was now "missing" a good chunk of its material on the inside.
