Radeon962 Posted April 2, 2005 Report Share Posted April 2, 2005 Just checking the specs on the Fuji ZCOM TW64 and the CPM's are listed as 245. Is that for the US ZCOM at 48" shaft? I have a Japanese version so it was 46" to begin with, but wondering how it plays. I have played several of the Fuji's and generally fit in the "S" range as I have a pretty smooth tempo so I don't load the shaft terribly. SS was measured at 110-112mph on a monitor in a couple of different fitting sessions, so I actually fit in the "X" range but hit the "S" much better. I am playing an NV 55 "S" tipped 1.5" (just slightly softer than an NV "X" with better feel) in a Hip Ti (inserted 1.25") at D5 right now and it has been an excellent driver, but wanted to try out the ZCOM. The frequency numbers have me a little concerned though. The Tip flex and butt flex listed on Fuji's site are 114 and 78 respectively for the ZCOM which are in line with other Fuji "S". Six is 115/85, 757 is 108/75, 26.3 is 115/83 so they are similar but all have CPM's much higher of 265 and up. Any ideas? Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lowpro Posted April 2, 2005 Report Share Posted April 2, 2005 when we first started insatalling the zcom's it was and is a learning experience. with the long us version at 48'', there is alot of tipping ot do to get them to play at a certain cpm or flex.. i would be afraid to tip a stiff 2'' to feel right for your swing. as far as the 46'' version - i have no experience with them.. maybe joe can chime in here. great feeling shafts though.. :smile1: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joey3108 Posted April 2, 2005 Report Share Posted April 2, 2005 Thanks Ken! Bill, What head are you putting this shaft on? Hip ti? I understand completely for a smooth swinger they mostly like to have their shaft 1/2 flex softer to be able to feel the shaft kick. Don't worry to much about the spec #, You'll confuse yourself w/ those stuff. Joe :cool: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vigit Posted April 3, 2005 Report Share Posted April 3, 2005 I have a zcom 74 x-stiff and it is soft. I feel is plays atleast a 1/2 flex weaker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The R7 has a very shallow insertion depth, so I may try the 580XD TP first which has a deeper insertion depth. Around 203g heads or so. Playing length around 44.75" to 45". Swingweight around D4 with a Golf Pride Tour Velvet grip and would add weight to the head if needed to get more than a couple of SW points. Lead tape on the sole if I only need a point or two. May just stick with the Hip Ti with NV though. Hit it again against an R5 NV & R7TP NV and still hit the ball much better with the Hip Ti than either of these, so might just stick with what works rather than throwing money at something that is not currently broken. The Hip Ti is consistently longer and produces a better ball flight than the other two. The R5 may be a touch more forgiving, but the Hip Ti is 420cc so it's forgiving enough. Thought the Comp with NV would be nice, but did not care for it at all. One range session and I got that out of my system. The Launcher Comp fairway (15º) was a whole different story. Flat out awesome head even with range balls. Can't wait to try one out on the course. Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill Base on what you did to the NV55, I would probably tipped the TW64 1 - 1 1/4 inch due to tighter tip torsion and heavier shaft.Good luck!
