Anyone here play an Axiv in a Fairway Wood?

Thinking of sticking a low kick Axiv in my G-Field 4 wood... good choice?

I have no experience with an Axiv in a fairway wood, though I absolutely love my 6564L in my Epon 460 driver. The concern I'd have about an Axiv in a fairway wood is that most of the shafts are relatively lightweight, under 70 grams. Only the 7500 series are over 70 grams, and they only come in S, SX, and X flexes. That would be fine if you play those flexes, but if you wanted an SR or R flex, one might consider other alternatives. Again, these are theoretical concerns only, but a lot of people (myself included) prefer fairway wood shafts to be in the 75-85+ gram range, for better feel and stability with ground contact.

your on the money, there are only two that i have tried that worked very well in FW's.

7568L

V-Spec 8072

keep in mind they play a tad soft because Mamiya for some reason decided to chart the CPMs using a 7" clamp instead of the norm 5".

Thanks for the input guys, I've personally never played a shaft heavier than 65 grams in any of my woods. And i have a raw 6060L sitting here and a Code 6 currently in my driver. When the new X-Drive comes out, one of these two shafts will go in it... I didn't want the other to just sit there so I thought it could go in the G-Field 4 wood head.... :tsg_smilie_cool:

If you can wait until the new TourStage 3woods come out, I'll write a reply :tsg_smiley_laughatyou:

Thinking of putting the V 8080 in one. Having said that however, I've placed other top end shafts such as Diamanas and Speeders in both woods and utilities and they have always proven to be very useful.

I put a 757 in my Tour Edge Exotics 3 and 5 woods, and they are the best performing fairway woods I've ever hit, by far.

Agreed. I had always regarded myself as a poor fairway wood player, which was very frustrating because I hit long irons very well. All this changed when I got a 3 wood with an 85g shaft (Fujijura Zcom Pro80). Now I get fantastic results and look forward to pulling the 3 wood! Definately need weight in a fairway wood shaft.
