Spoon Posted August 8, 2007 Report Share Posted August 8, 2007 im going to try reviving my old school mizuno mx23s, since im bored and have a set of black golds from bogeydog im deciding on replacing the stock oem graphites with this. since i am havig great success with the epon x tour concept combo im curious to see what all the hype is with the black gold. anyone try this combo? im curious to hear your opinions before i have them reshafted. it was either black golds on Mx23 or black golds on beres mg801 but decided to leave the stock armrq shafts alone.

Spoon Posted August 9, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 9, 2007 well the shafts i got were a bit short and had them installed today. effective swingweight was around c9, i added about 1/2" of extender to get to my preffered length. i had about 8 shafts and used the longest shaft for the 4 iron onwards-pw. with the extender the new sw is now d2, just the way i like it and exactly same sw as my beres mg801 and epon x with TC r3. will have reviews for this soon.

Spoon Posted August 10, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 10, 2007 me and shepherd were able to test my mx23s with black golds yesterday in the range. man i dont know if it was the supers soft grain flow forged heads of the mizunos or the shafts or both but these easily felt much better than my epon x with TC r3 shafts. if i am not mistaken these are slightly lighter than the TCs but feel a world of difference. dint find them as taxing to use. shafts loaded up nicely, will test it out for 18 holes today and compare the trajectories with my Tcs. for now this combo just booted my eponx/tc out of the bag. for now at least. will have a review soon after Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lowpro Posted August 11, 2007 Report Share Posted August 11, 2007 the black golds are a very smooth feeling shaft-- rifle feel to them -- good the experiment went well.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacksonlui Posted August 11, 2007 Report Share Posted August 11, 2007 let us know how your 18 holes went. i have the same set (mx23 w/ BG stiffs) but haven't played them yet. still working the r7 forged. might want to switch back, still think the mx23 is softer and easily more forgiving.
