AKFLY Posted January 24, 2005 Report Share Posted January 24, 2005 Just noticed the catalog has expanded the ZCOM series. Anyone have any reviews or comparisons of the TW vs. MW ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joey3108 Posted January 24, 2005 Report Share Posted January 24, 2005 Just noticed the catalog has expanded the ZCOM series.Anyone have any reviews or comparisons of the TW vs. MW ? It's mostly a counter balance shaft. TW mostly spec at Mid To Mid low kick and MW is a Mid To Mid Hi kick point shafts. The heavier the shaft the tighter it gets. Some of this shaft are a awsome shaft for FW. But if tipped properly and at the right style of swing, They are a great shaft for Driver too. Good Luck! Joe :cool: ps: Anyone need this shafts, I still have some in stock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tncup Posted January 27, 2005 Report Share Posted January 27, 2005 joey, notice you play a Fuji 553 in an R7. How do you compare it to the Zcom MW54? Aren't they about the same spec wise? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aren't they about the same spec wise?IMO 553 is a bit heavier and tighter shaft compare to MW 54 but yet it has the distinctive smooth speeder feel to it. MW54 will play softer if installed straight in.Joe :cool: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tncup Posted January 28, 2005 Report Share Posted January 28, 2005 thanks, joey. I have been considering the Zcom MW54X or a 553X for one of my 510DF's so I was very interested in this Zcom thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe :cool: ps: Anyone need this shafts, I still have some in stock. Joe, as you know, the counter-balance approach to the new ZCOM line is nothing new for a Tour Quality shaft. Fuji, Mitsu, Grafalloy, and others have already done this. So what exactly is the new ZCOM technology that has pushed the prices of these shafts into the Speeder price range? Is Fuji using a special proprietory material that is completely different than the triaxial composite in the Speeder line? Please give us the inside scoop on the technological advances, if any, that the ZCOM is bringing to the table. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would love to answer your question in detail but I don't think I'm the right guy to answer it in details.IMO, The right guy to answer it in deatil is the technical dept of Fujikura. If you send them an email, they should be able to give you a better answer. I'm affraid if i'm the one who gave an answer, some of you guys might think that i'm hyping it up to a point of me making the sale. You all know me that was my last wish to do. My knowledge in the products that i carry is pretty much what i have on top of my head through experiences of testing and working on them. Thanks!

jim_0068 Posted February 7, 2005 Report Share Posted February 7, 2005 per chad @ fuji...ZCOM line is not counterbalanced Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joey3108 Posted February 7, 2005 Report Share Posted February 7, 2005 per chad @ fuji...ZCOM line is not counterbalanced For 43" 3 wood to get a D3 swing weight, I need 220 grams head...Does this tell you something? And I said "MOSTLY". TW84 X flex tipped 1/2" for a 4 wood at 42.5 and I got a reading 7.0 FCM on my machine, That tells me hell of a BUTT stiff shaft. That means they beef it up around the butt area. MW54 is hell of a light weight shaft and It needs hell of a heavy head to get D3 @45" driver, if I'm not wrong +/- 208 grams. This shaft reads a lot softer on the cpm machine but it doesn't play quite as soft. I'm not trying to out spoken Chad ( that is the last think I want to do ) but I installed shaft everyday and I got this shaft before they are. I'm behind the work bench and he is behind the office desk. Joe :cool: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe :cool: FWIW, I heard from Fuji and another clubmaker was that the Zcoms were not heavy in the butt so as to be considered a true CB shaft --- just that they were not tip heavy. Hey, I just want it to play great. I'll leave the details to my clubmaker. :cool: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe :cool: ps: Anyone need this shafts, I still have some in stock. So Joe, If I liked the the 26.3 X-flex tipped 1/2" and MW54 X-flex tipped 1/2" do you think I need a Stiff-flex tipped 1" or so in the TW64 or can I get by with X-flex untipped?

For MW 54 , it's pretty close in number w/ 26.3 tour platform. IMO , Yes ! you can treat them the same tipping wise but Feel wise, those two shaft are not the same. MW feelstiffer by the tip area.As of TW64, I would have to say no tipping is the way to go. I can't tell you much yet how it play on the TW64, cuz i haven't had a chance to hit them extensively yet. Good luck! Joe ps: don't compare any of these shaft as counter balance as the HM4, HM 4 is worst i've ever seen in term of how heavy that shaft is in the butt area. Some are pretty close but some are not ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tickyboy Posted February 10, 2005 Report Share Posted February 10, 2005 I will be posting a large review of a zcom tw 74 X that's waiting for me in florida in 2 weeks. I can't wait to try it, I will have a grafalloy prolite (my current fav. shaft), HTD cb65 S and possibly a pro 95 X for comparisons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
