bumpNrun24 Posted October 25, 2005 Report Share Posted October 25, 2005 Yeah, I am sure that it is a TOUR only shaft that is going to cost all of them an arm and a leg for a special serial number!!! :mad: We will probably see them in a couple of months for about $299 a piece, just like all the other top of the line shafts. They do look really nice though! :whistle: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lowpro Posted November 7, 2005 Report Share Posted November 7, 2005 i don't have my notes available.. but there are 6 styles.. two of them go for $1000 and the other 4 are the more economical $400.... i tried the lower end - so to say-- the ozik altus>> 74grams, mid-high launch.. had a 3good rounds with it.. accuracy is what i got from this shaft.. and yes it does comply with other highend shafts.>> 757, diamana 73, pm 702, mcc matrix another one of theres that is very solid.. why soo expensive-- the materials used are all very exotic** hand made also-- is it worth it-- the one i got -- yes.. the $1000 model :laugh: hard to say........

Ken- always nice to hear your voice of reason without all the hype....How would you compare it to say the VS Proto's or to which Speeder? some say they are getting 20yds difference..hard to believe..but Matrix is done alot of work to make a great product..thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lowpro Posted November 7, 2005 Report Share Posted November 7, 2005 20yrds further!!!!!!! i must be putting the wrong swing on the ball... :smile2: i hit the ozik altus in a stiff flex.. specs> 73-75 grams , mid spin, high launch.. plays close to the 652 or 771speeder.. lively tip with a firm butt section.. GOOD control - i should have gotten the strong flex which is best for 105-115 swing speed, the stiff is best for 98-105.. other shafts>> v.2 75, zcom tw74,accra sc-75, graphite design tour ad.. mcc's matrix with a more active tip.. i would say the ozik medius would be closer to the 757 and pm702 it is 76-77grams, mid-low spin, mid launch.. the ozik infra is 78-*80 grams, low spin,low launch > for the strong players*....... the $1000 shafts>> tp-7 73-74grams,low spin, mid -high launch and the tp-7x 75-76 grams, low spin, low launch.. best for someone who gets paid to play golf :smile1: i would love to try one but even with dealer cost i can't pull the trigger :money: ... but the altus,medius and infra should prove to be world class shafts with accruarcy being the premium outcome..

ShreveportGolf Posted November 7, 2005 Report Share Posted November 7, 2005 I can talk about this shaft until I am blue in the face, but all you have to do is look at what it has done for KJ and Jose Maria. I believe JM gained some 18 yards with it?! KJ gained 12. But the most impressive thing was fairway percentages, up 20%+. Anyway, I have one of the boron Ozik shaft in a mid/high bend, S3, 72 grams. I don't even know the best way to describe the feel in words. All I can say is that when you swing it, it doesn't feel like it is there, until you hit the ball. When the ball comes off the face, it feels like you are hitting an illegal driver. Funny thing is that it goes straight. I rarely fade or draw the ball with it. Just straight bombs. I would say I have gained 10 to 15 yards with the shaft in the first week I have used it. The weather has been much cooler lately, so that actually may be a little more when it warms up again.

plus1 Posted November 9, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 9, 2005 is this shaft a retail shaft with a price of 1k? or will it be released to the public and become much cheaper??? :confused: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BostonHack Posted November 9, 2005 Report Share Posted November 9, 2005 1k shaft. I wonder how many would actually buy it. So far I know of 2 guys. :money: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parputt Posted November 9, 2005 Report Share Posted November 9, 2005 They have released the shaft for Retail as of Nov 1st and yes even retail it is 1000.00 for the Ozik! They come with serial #s/certification#s according to the website.The cheaper Silver version will be ONLY 400.00. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbie Posted November 10, 2005 Report Share Posted November 10, 2005 i have been playing the ozik for a total of one day...the one i have is the ozik tp7 in a sx flex......it has some kick to it but it has almost no detectable twist....this can be a good thing or a bad thing depending on the caliber of player....if you have a highly repeatable swing, this shaft is money but if you have different swing angles and are highly inconcsistent, this shaft will make you even worse !!!! oh and mine does not have a serial number on the shaft...it might be on the butt sticker but it is not printed on the shaft like the fujikura 555.....i dont believe the ozik will be a limited release but i doubt there are too many players willing to spend 1k on a shaft...... :money: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+TourSpecGolfer Posted November 10, 2005 Report Share Posted November 10, 2005 With all the information, rumors and hype we hear popular forums, I wonder what the true manufacturing cost of this shaft is? All great shafts are made in Japan but what is so different about this shaft to push cost so high and does that difference really justify the increase? Before this line matrix wasn't in the upper high end expensive bracket but now they are the most expensive shaft on the market. Shaft worth the money or a great marketing ploy by Matrix?

corky3 Posted November 10, 2005 Report Share Posted November 10, 2005 Good point(s) Chris I'm pretty sure $1000 is not the real cost + a bit of profit...... I reckon it went something like this ....... "cost + a margin is $857 & 3c..... let's price it at a $1000 and see what the market makes of it! Pricing looks like 'finger in the air' to me...... give it time and they'll adjust the price to the demand(after the hype has died down).

plus1 Posted November 10, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 10, 2005 demand will be low untill they change the price, but after hitting the shaft i think they have a great product in their hands! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bartolomeo1 Posted November 15, 2005 Report Share Posted November 15, 2005 The first production of TP's sold out in the pre-order and Matrix contemplated raising the price, but will not. Matrix has not even started the advertising campaign, website, PGA Show, etc, so the prices are not going anywhere for awhile. Great shaft.

sfgolfer Posted November 15, 2005 Report Share Posted November 15, 2005 The performance is a function of the design. The price is a function of marketing. Price bears zero relationship to margin (if it did, a can of Coke would be priced at .08c). Here we have a very good shaft, an exclusive run (limited numbers, funky color), and some Tour success. Mix that all together and Matrix doesn't need to sell a whole heck of a lot of these for the line to be profitable. The more they sell, the higher the price will stay. And, to Chris' point, they now have people starting to think about them as an elite shaftmaker. How much is that worth? :cool: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â :cool: very true sf! i have tried both. the ozik altus is now in my viq450 and once my tp-7 full boron version comes in i will put the altus in the 3 wood. i feel the performance of these shafts is very very good. i really cant believe the combo of stability and feel they provide!

Phillip Alexander Posted November 16, 2005 Report Share Posted November 16, 2005 Plus 1, I think your VIQ is a great looking head, and it is also a good decision to reshaft it with a shaft suitable to your swing speed. On paying 1,000 big ones for the Ozik shaft, let me tell you the first ball that did not go over the back fence with the driver at the driving range, the shaft would be going back to the manufacturer express delivery. Stats being trotted out are impressive though :rolleyes: Time will tell if this is simply placebo! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
