I have to say that the wedge reminds me of my all time favorite Ping Eye 2 wedges at address. I may have to give these a try.

Thank your for the response.

Sorry if this has been asked and discussed already but I can't find the thread. I saw these fairway woods in the blog last year but now I read that some people are saying they are fake. Any info would be appreciated.

Anyone know where you can buy these?

Just speculating, but I wonder if there is a YSQ iron shaft coming. After pulling the Tour AD iron shafts from the US website there are no high performance iron shafts on the US site. Combine that with the addition of the YSQ hybrid and fairway shafts to the line last year, I wonder if the irons are next for the US.

The Avix is one I have not hit. I really believe that when comparing these exotic shafts they are all excellent, it just comes down to the launch moniter numbers, feel and preference. My buddy just decided to get Accra i80s in his new mizuno irons and he is pretty stoked. I think being able to load the shaft properly with a smooth swing is one of the most important things in playing good golf. I just wish I would have figured this out a long time ago!

I tested as many lightweight shafts as possible before going to the Tour ADs (including the aerotechs) and found the Nippon shafts under 100 grams didn't fit my swing as well as graphite. I really liked the Fujikura 115 gram shaft and think it is a great option if going too light is a concern. It is parallel tip but felt great imo. A little easier to load than the Nippon 1150s at the same weight.

Yes, I looked at all of them and spent a TON of time researching graphite iron shafts. Two things became clear: 1. It is very difficult to find info on graphite iron shafts. 2. If you are looking for high end performance and a .355 tip the only shafts that remain are Graphite Design and Aldila. I much prefer Graphite Design shafts in general to Aldila. I say in general because I think Aldila makes great shafts. I have a 105mph club head speed and a smooth transition and I find Aldila shafts difficult to load. I will never go back to steel and wish I had gone in this direction 10 years ago. My distance and dispersion have improved. Good luck with the Tour AD 75s.

I have been playing Nippon 1150 stiff shafts in some scratch SB-1 heads and really enjoyed them. I decided for this season to go with graphite in the irons so I put Tour AD 85 stiff shafts in RAC LT II tour issue heads and they are really fun. Easy to load and excellent ball speed even with smooth swings. I live in Oklahoma so I play in REALLY hard winds most of the time and I can control the trajectory with ease. No ballooning and I can hit low stingers just like steel. Not a lot of info out there about graphite iron shafts and these are the only ones I have extensive experience with so I thought I would add to the information base. The days of playing heavy steel shafts ended when I went with the Nippons and this move to Graphite Design appears to be another big step in the right direction for me. I noticed that Graphite Design recently took them off of the US website so it looks like not too many americans gave them a chance. I read several posts from Big Ben about finish quality so I was a bit concerned but so far they look great.

I am considering a custom set of MP-32s. I am currently playing MP-29s but they are worn out. I love the more square looking toe of the MP-29 compared to the more rounded offerings currently available from Mizuno. Will Mizuno create a square toe MP-32 if I order a custom stamped set? Any help would be appreciated!
