correct fitting for AXIV or RODDIO driver shaft

[BNIERENBERG]

I am purchasing the 460 deg non conform model. 9.5 deg loft. Im considering either the AXIV or the new RODDIO driver shafts.

The following are my thread inputs.

• Swing Speed - 95MPH

• Driver distance - 230 yds AVG

• Tempo (Slow, Reg, Fast) - REG (I try to be smooth)

• Transition (Smooth, Average, Aggressive) - Probably average to aggressive although I try to have smoother pace

• Usual ball flight (Low, Medium, High) - Medium. I don’t have a problem getting the ball into the air. Currently have 9 deg loft on ERC HOT driver

• Desired Flight (Low, Medium, High) - I play on medium to soft fairways so I need more carry since I can’t count on lots of roll.

• Desired Weight (60g, 70g, 80g range) - I seem to like lighter club weights. Mid to low 60’s grams

• Bad shot (Right or Left) - Usually bad hits go right

• Current shaft specs (if available) - I have a Callaway FT-3 draw Bias 10.5 loft driver with a Diamana blue board 53 grams 4.4 torque. 45 inches. Mid flex point. I hit this club too high and lose distance bit I hit it strait most of the time. I also have a Callaway ERC HOT 9.5 deg driver with a AXIV gold shaft 6060m. 46 inches. I hit this one longer than the FT-3.

• What are you looking for in a shaft? - Id love to pick up 10 to 20 yds in total distance without loosing fairway landing accuracy. Im hoping that the Epon 460 driver will give me the distance and we can control the accuracy thru proper shaft selection. If the RODDIO shaft can better perform than the AXIV then Id go with that. From the specs I have seen online about the new RODDIO shafts it seems like the W5-BA in a SR flex might be best for me but Im open to suggestions.If not then Id go with the AXIV. Id go 46 inches in length in either model shaft.

I think we need "upndown" to come in here and chime in on his experience with the Roddio shaft on an Epon head. He put in an S/R shaft but I don't know if he chose the W5-BA model.

"Upndown" care to share with everyone what you shared with me?
