SYB iron shafts

[Randy]

I just picked up a used set of Miura Passing Point PP-9001 irons and they came with the SYB K's-6001 T100 shaft. Hadn't heard of these shafts and did some researh and found a little info on the SYB website, but not a lot.

Does any one know anything about these shafts?

Any information would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Randy

first time i ever hear about them. kindly post a review on the shafts when you have had time to test it. curious as well.

All I know is that they are Shimada K-6001's with constant weight. Around 105g and mid to low kick point... so definitely a higher launching iron shaft. SYB recommends them for swing speeds of 94mph or more (driver). It's a standard shaft that Miura Giken and it's authorized builders put in the Passing Point irons.

I think SYB has the exclusive on 4001 and 6001. They are Shimada but nobody else carries them. If you are looking for the heavier Shimada, these are the ones but I have not seem it on other Miuras.

Yes they are made for Syb specifically by Shimada, that's what I meant. I actually saw them in my shaft guide... definitely considered high launch steel in the Syb lineup.

I had a set of gauge design with them in it... they played very tip soft and soft to flex-- and i think NSPros 1150 play soft!!! So these are WAY soft. JAT

That's probably why it launches so high! (^_^)

how are you liking the passing point irons? specifically, how is the feel of these? are they ultr asoft feeling?

thanks,

[Randy]

I found the Passing Point irons to be good, but not good enough to keep them in the bag. To me they are more forgiving than they look, but didn't find them to be ultra soft. Since feel is subjective, they may feel great to some, but I like a little softer feel like the Gauge FCBs.

Have a set of these shafts in Gold's Factory CB's. The shafts feel just a touch lighter than NS 1150's, but don't have the "weakness" of the NS 1050's--sounds weird, but it's a stouter shaft than the 1050's but about the same weight. A good shaft best as I can tell. Tip soft, good feel, but very workable. Tight step pattern, nice graphics. If you like NS Pros you'd like these.

just got a set of shimadas for my wedges and i was quite surprised by how they felt. find them a bit boardy not harsh at all but definetley not lively. their lightweight steelshafts for irons though are pretty good.
