Anyone have any feedback on the Rombax 5X07? Thinking of getting an FT-5 with this shaft, but what little feedback I have heard on the Rombax shafts are they are for a quicker tempo and are pretty straight but not great distance shafts. I like the ZCOM Six, but would like something a bit tighter.

Although I've never played the 5X07, based on what Fujikura says on their website http://www.fujikuragolf.com/ - it's a mid -kp - which isn't for quicker tempo's IMO. I have a quick tempo and aggressive transistion and played Fujikura mid-hi-kp VP 80's for a long time. Now have a FT-5 tour issue head with a Whiteboard 73 (S) no tipping. Most quicker tempoed players I've encountered go with heavier shafts, either mid-high or high kick point, stiff tips, AND low TQ shafts seeking max distance but not without considering dispersion. I'd give away 10-20yds to insure I am in the fairway as often as my swing will allow.

the ZCOM SIX has stats that appear fitting for someone with a standard tempo and somewhat slower SS. So, am I to understand your right ... you're looking for a shaft you can hit far and you don't care about dispersion?

Yup, looking for distance - swing speed in the upper 90's, mid tempo. Have had some success w/ Diamana Blue & Red, Speeder 652, 869 & Six and VS Proto 70. Of course, keeping it close to the fairway means something...

Hi, I have just fitted Rombax 5X07 flex R on my FT5. The old shaft was Fit On 150 flexR. My swing speed is 92 with smooth tempo. By putting the Rombax on I reduced the total weight to 305G, which is a lot easier for me to swing, I also use a 44G grip. The swing weight was up a bit to D2.4, and the length is 44.75.

The club is now a lot easier to swing, I can hit a bit longer on mis**t, on good hit it can go up to about 240 carry. Now my average drive on my home course is about 245 yards ( carrry+ roll),

and solid good hit could go up to 265. The Rombax is amazing, the ball go up on a nice trajectory, no ballon, but for a hard hitter it may hook , I tried to really go after it a few time and it will hook every single time , my fastest speed is 97. Anyway I am not a club tester, so I can only give information on what I think and feel, it could be totally wrong. I just want to say I love the shaft, it gave me a little more distance, stay in the fairways more often, and give me pleasing trajectory, and I also will put another one on my Rapture soon.

Thank you for your feedback, sounds like the shaft has nice feel with good control.

solid shaft. not sure it will be THAT much of difference from the SIX.. 6 is a real tried and true winner.. played the 6xo6 and really like.. burner tp with ine and i get a nice mid launch with good control.. tighter feel or control >. 6wo6 may be the ticket..

The 6W06 is stiffer tip and lower flight than 6X07.

Just got the 5x07 in a Tour Issue FT-5 10.5 head, nice combo. Mid to high ball flight w/ good carry and feel. Somewhat similar to the Six except tighter dispersion - maybe the w series has less spin more rollout?
