- Spencer Reynolds (Product and Brand Manager for Fujikura Golf) tells all about the new Fujikura AXIOM line of carbon iron shafts.
We also speculate on how and when graphite iron shaft will become more commonplace on the PGA Tour.
Really like the fact you get Spencer on the show. It really helps the learning journey of what Fujikura does to create the new products. More information makes it easy to make a good decision. Have been looking for a while for a shaft that can improve my 2 iron.
Thanks to Spencer and thanks to Cool clubs. Great info. Great Podcast. Great product.
If they had no upcharge in a new set of clubs, they would kill the market ...Like they have on tour with Velocore ...With a steep price tag, they aren't in everyone's budget but I wouldn't hesitate to put them in full bag If I was playing full time (which I'm not hehe) ....Only gone for 105S in 4 iron and 2 iron atm, going to test the 125X and 105S soon out of curiosity
I can’t believe the pros aren’t playing these yet. Literally every reviewer has loved these iron shafts
Need a review on the 75 REG Axiom please
Are the shafts labeled Log, Mid and Short if buying only shafts? How are they identified? Thx, great show.
Thank you,
Yes, on the shaft, in the barcode area is the shaft designation.
Can you describe the feel differences between say a DG S300 vs the 125? I am interested but have always found graphite iron shafts to feel kind of dead feeling. Has the Axiom solved that? Thanks
The 125g version has been delayed compared to the other models
I do have a set myself and they feel outstanding, I have played modus 120 X for a long tome so hard for me to compare to DG S300. I will say that I can shape the 12 Axiom, it is high-flighted but very controlled. I am only a couple of games in with them.... but they are staying in the bag!
With the 3 shaft parallel, would you be tipping too much to put these in a GW, SW, LW? Or, tip the same as a PW and butt trim to length?
Here is the official response from Fujikura: "We would generally recommend sticking to the 1” tipping that coincides with the PW. There is room if a player wanted the wedge to play stiffer to tip an extra .5”, but 1” would be sufficient."
Can you use the "long parallel" shaft for a 6i if I'm looking to have higher ball flight for this club?
Here is the official response from Fujikura: "For now, I’d recommend utilizing each length parallel for the appropriate corresponding iron. You could potentially reduce the tipping on the 6iron if you’d like it to play slightly softer."
Is this shaft available at cool clubs to test and buy? Been waiting for this!
Our demos are being assembled as we speak!
Looks like Grips4less has them now.
Graphite > steel. 4 iron down to LW. No reason for me to ever go back.
most irons are .355 hosel and these shafts are .370. i assume they can be trimmed but surely that should be addressed
of course they can... any good club builder can make that happen with ease
@@TJ-nk4de good to know. thanks
You just have to either reem the head to fit the shaft or nowadays most shafts can be pencilled to fit and work properly.
Since the 125 is only available in X, could the 2, 3 and 4 be put in the 5, 6 and 7 to play softer?
Yes there are slightly different ways to assemble them but they recommend a certain procedure for optimal performance.
105 needs a R flex
They are starting with this line up almost to test the waters, I believe more weights and flexes maybe added over time.
not at that price...
