    I do club repair out of the Golf Course I am a member at. I have an account with MCC/Apache. You guys are right on, They are one of the most underated shaft companies out there. I wish business was better so that I could push more of these shafts out. The MFS 115 iron shafts are very acurate and tight for graphite. I have a set of T.M. C.B's that have them in there and they have a really nice feel and trajectory. All my woods have MCC shafts except for my 3 wood (Nike T-60) it has a Fuji 869 in it. I just can't find a better fairway wood shaft than that one.
  5. One of the owners of the course i am at lost his Xr-03 wedge a while back and would like a replacement. Tried going through Taylor Made North America but no help at all. Thanks, Jimmy
  6. according to the article the big hitters should be using a driver of around C0? He makes a few points that seem valid however. I may have to tinker with my standy clubs and swing weight them all in the C range to see what happens. J
  7. I did it on a couple of my R510TP's. I personally prefer a heavier head and the TP seemed to weigh in at around 195grams or so. I used my digital scale to weigh the head and then to let me know when I had put enough poly fill in there to get to 203 grams or so. I don't remember the exact numbers but they are close. Yes the poly fill will raise the center of gravity a bit. I guess it mainly depends on how much you use. My driver was 10.5* so it could stand a little higher C.O.G.

    Wouldn't believe how good it dress up a set of Ping irons!!! On an old set of ISI's I had masked the club except for the face and bead blasted them. Looked really great, give them a new look .
  9. I'll have to look around for my papers to let you know for sure but I believe it was 1" for a driver. That will be a good rainy day project for me, to find my trimming instructions!!
  10. Might be correct in a way but for me when the SW gets less than d3ish I can't feel the club at all and my accuracy suffers even more. What was his basis for the lower swingweight being better?
  11. That is the funniest thing I have read in quite some time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    The R7 is a very low spin head. If you don't have the swing speed or launch angle go with the 10.5*. Quit honestly I feel that the majority would be better off with more loft with the R7. You can always adjust the weights or the shaft. I have an R510 TP and a tour R7 both 10.5* and the R7 is much lower hitting than the R 510. Jimmy

    Looking for a set of Mizuno MP-33's for a friend of mine. The newer the better and the closer to standard the better. Email me with what you have. Jimmy [email protected]
  14. When I applied for a Fuji account I had to sign papers stating that I would not sell the shafts as components. It was almost like the attitude was "We are not a component company and will not stoop that low". If a person is caught selling Fuji's as single pieces then there account can be revoked. The initial buy in is very substantial by the way. I forget the exact number but I do remember it wasn't worth it for me to keep a bunch of high dollar Fuji's laying around my shop at the golf course trying to sell installs to a bunch of 65+ year old retired men.

  15. ,It is one of the most accurate shafts I have ever had had in a driver (R510TP). I was affraid of hitting the X flex that I normally play because of all the things I had heard about it being so hard to hit and all. I don't think that is the case. Just like any shaft as long as it fits your swing speed and transition type it is one of the best shafts out there. I personally don't think you can compare a Purple Ice and a D03 however. Both are great shafts just deisigned for different uses. The D03 I had in my driver was very stable and was very accurate. The only reason I changed it out was because I thought I could get a little more distance with a lighter shaft. Despite the fact that I had hit one of my longest drives ever with the D03, R 520 combo.
  16. I used poly "cotton" fill on my R510 TP and R580 tour issue. Both muted the sound nicely and really helped give them a much better feel. One of the benefits for me was that I could use the shaft I wanted and use enough cotton to get the swingweight to what I want and still have a neutraly weighted driver head. It does raise the center of gravity a bit however. Jimmy
  17. PM sent regarding 869X J
  18. I have a retail R7 in 8.5*. Would like to trade heads for a 9.5* or 10.5*. Would be willing to trade up to a TP or tour issue plus cash from me. Mine is in very good condition and will provide pics if anyone is intersted. email [email protected]. Thanks, Jimmy
  19. Usually 2* is the most people will bend a cast club. I use Eidolon wedges and bent them more than 3* upright and didn't have a problem. The problem with heating the hosel to make bending easier is that you would break the epoxy bond from the heat. Jimmy
  20. Looking for two R500 series weights. Looking for around 10 grams. please email Jimmy [email protected]
  21. The tip is .355 taper. I might have a wedge shaft from a cleveland wedge if you need one. Jimmy

    I have used foam ear plugs before just to try out. Seems to work very well without any weight penalty
