- Looking at the new Fujikura Axiom iron shaft. We compare the numbers with some of my personal favorite iron shafts and see if the Axiom holds up.
Interested in a fitting, custom club work, or repairs?

Switched to Axiom. On course performance has been crazy good. Longer carry and tighter. Approach SG has improved since in play.
I’m going to have to try these next time I’m in town. Compare them directly to the Modus 120 we fit into
Tried Fujikura shafts for the first time while stationed in Japan. They are the best for my swing. The only other shafts that came close were the Pro Launch series.
ACCRA TZi Also an amazing graphite
I have gamed the Modus 105 in my last two sets of irons and the 1050 before that. So this is exactly the comparison I’ve been looking for! Very interested to understand any implications for swapping the Axiom into a set of i230 heads
Just had the Axiom 105 stiff fitted to my 49 degree wedge and soft stepped in my 54 and 59 degree wedges.... looking forward to getting out on the course with them...
and?
I have the Axiom 105 S in my Miura CB-302s. They feel great!
It looks like you hang back and finish on your back foot.
What did you play prior to these? I’m playing steel project x 105s but I’ve tried out some graphites in the 110-120 range and those felt good too. Haven’t tried head out though.
The best graphite I have played is UST Recoil. Wld be interested on your thoughts on Recoils.
I belong to the club you used for the closest to the pin, tough hole!
That false front near the water is mean! Hope they don't shave down the banks.
Thanks for the video Sir - I'm thinking about replacing the shaft in my Callaway Rogue ST MAX Hybrid. This is the first replacement i'll be doing (using the advice from your amazing videos) but I am unsure on one thing. The current shaft has a .335 diameter tip - Must I replace that shaft with the same sized tip or can I use a .370?
Thanks so much for any advice you can offer.
Need to add the LA Golf 105 in your test.
Interesting! I use Recoil F4.
Curious why you didn’t use this in the comparison..?
Aquired an single Axiom 105-S ready to test to sub in for the Modus 105-S. Just need to find a local club builder I can trust.
Can always ship to me. Email me if you can't find a good one nearby.

So, I'm always looking for value, and at over $100, I just could not justify spending that much unless the technology really warranted it. I've got a couple of different Recoil shafts in a Hogan Icon/PTX Pro Combo set set and a Maltby TE iron set. I just would have trouble imagining anything significantly better. Cost was $25-$35. Considering I came from Apollo Steel shafts @ $5-$7, even that is a tough pill to swallow. Admittedly, since my SS is slowing down a bit and vibration concerns steel shafts tend to give you, I embraced the switch to graphite. Is there really a whole lot to these Axioms that I can't get from the UST Recoil line?
What size of after market ferrules I need to fit ping I525 head with axiom 105 S shaft ? Thanks !
Interesting mini-test. I would be interested in a test of other weight classes in these shafts (such as the 75 gram offerings). Thoughts?
Will need to find someone to do the test. I tried the 75 but it's too light for my hummingbird tempo.
@@EFGMC I appreciate the dilimma. May be one of your students with a
AJ, I hit a friends KBS PGI yesterday and it felt so smooth and launched so well. I had no problem consistently getting the ball up in the air. Have you reviewed that shaft and what are your thoughts? What would you consider it most similar to?
I have not hit that one yet.
Enjoyed the mini comparison test. I am going with Aerotech i110 X soft stepped. I really wished Fujikura would have brought in a 110 or 115g option in taper for the Axiom. Was the loading similar between your i110 and the Axiom 105? Launch and decent angle looked close.
Axiom had a bit more give to it vs the 110.
@@EFGMC Thank you, If you haven’t tried the Aerotech Private Reserves i110s yet, I think you might find they are very very good. That’s what I’m trying to duplicate with the i110 CWs in X flex soft stepped 🤞🏻
Nice video, how would you rate the Diamana MCC 60 shaft? store fitting recommended stiff shaft on Srixon zx4 mk2 it’s, went far, but not sold on the looks or their logo - not very eco friendly sounding
Think you are talking about the MMT iron shaft? That shaft is good. Plenty of good 60g shaft options.
I’ve been watching your videos for along time now and I know you have tremendous knowledge about iron shafts I play Callaway Rogue X irons with TT R300 XP95 shafts. I’m looking for more height distance and consistency My driver speed is 88 mph drive distance is @245 ish 7 iron goes around 150-160 what would you recommend for a replacement shaft that would give me what I’m looking for without breaking the bank
I might look at something like a Fujikura Vista Pro 70 iron shaft. Mid 70g graphite with mid to high launch and a good price at $35 a piece.
What was your swing speed during test? Looking at both steelfiber and axiom. How do the feel compared to each other? Have been told the steelfiber play strong to flex ?Thanks
88-90 with 7i. SF does play stout to flex. Probably soft stepping the 110 would be a pretty close match to the Axiom 105.
What about swing weight and feel?
Can you recommend a shaft similar to the Fujikura Ventas Blue but about half or a third of the price, similar to the video about the Autoflex.
You can get some older Diamana Blue boards for around $100. Can also get some older generation Fuji Speeder that match up.
In the market to reshaft my Srixon irons from steel to graphite. Which graphite shaft provides the best sound and field?
Sound won't change much from shaft to shaft in graphite. The amount of vibration transmitted will vary so it depends on what you are looking for.
Does the Axiom shafts have a iron shaft for senior golfers?
They make a light flex 75g version.
It is defiantly a good shaft but not enough of performance improvement for the price for me. I won't pay that much for a few extra yards.
Would you recomend the 105x if i have a slighty faster swing then yours and play 1" long? Or does the stiff hold its own pretty good
The stiff holds up well into the low 90s for speed. Over 92-93 I'd probably lean towards X unless you fight a fade.
I do fight a fade but I think that's because I'm gaming $ taper 130x and it's just to much unless I swing outta my shoes I'll get it straight then. Not sure what iron you refer to for that speed you mentioned. My driver is 110 to 112 My 3 hybrid speed is 100-102 For refrence speeds. Usually hit my 7 iron 175-180. Getting fit doesn't work when your a lefty 6'5" with +1 playing jumbomax grips. No one anywhere has anything close to what I need to be accurately fit.
@@kylehoog4621 Mid iron speed, like 6 or 7 iron.
How do I find the swing weight of my clubs?

Was the i110 a parallel or taper ?
Taper CW
Axioms are 3x the cost of the modus….for very similar performance. Enough said.
What is the cost difference between those 3 shafts?
Modus 105- $39
Steelfiber 110- $60
Axion- $115
If you want a graphite shaft. That price difference, to me, speaks for steelfiber. I doubt that if the set is a good build, you struggle to see a real benefit from the axiom.
Unfortunately, the price of the Axiom's is very high in my opinion!
why did yousay the 105 is most common for average golfer im thinking 75 and whats the di.
I think most recreational golfers are going to be better suited in a 105g shaft vs a 75g.
learn to throw a tee!
Takeaway: not much matters in shafts beyond their weight.
By far the most important thing. Weight is at least 80% of finding the right shaft.
The price is ridiculous
What is the difference between i70r and i80r 🥷
10 grams and maybe a little higher ball flight from the 70, at least on paper.
What size of after market ferrules I need to fit ping I525 head with axiom 105 S shaft ? Thanks !
@@majestik1717 I don't have the outer hosel diameter of the Ping. Get a caliper and measure that. The ferrule id should be .370 for this setup.
