s-yardie Posted January 2, 2009 Report Share Posted January 2, 2009 Ok guys, trying to find a reshaft for the stock EMB shaft. Currently using the SR in a 10.5 head and looking for something with less spin. 98-102 mph clubhead speed with medium/smooth transition. I play on fairly wet fairways and humid climates. In some cases, the ball actually lands several feet behind the ball mark! So looking for medium/high launch, lower spin. Maybe Xcon 5 or Bassara Falcon. Any thoughts or suggestions?

idrive Posted January 2, 2009 Report Share Posted January 2, 2009 Wow. that's some serious wet conditions!! My SS is almost identical to yours. I have two EMB's. I have never played the stock shaft so I can't compare the shafts I have to it. I have the Axiv-X 6062 in one of them and the Roddio W-6BA in the other. The Axiv-X is working perfectly. Medium to medium high flight. Very happy with this shaft in this Driver. For me, it is a better combination than the Roddio. I have the same Roddio in a Epon Technity Driver that I really like which is why I put it in the EMB. For me, it is a better shaft in the Technity than the EMB. The X-con should be a good shaft as well, just don't have any experience with it. Good Luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacksonlui Posted January 2, 2009 Report Share Posted January 2, 2009 what's the main difference between the V and X for the Axiv? It's a great shaft. I still own two xcon5 shafts in firm and they offer a really good mix of high launch and low spin and ball speed. I think it has been said on the other forum that these really perform.

The courses I play have pretty heavily watered fairways and don't necessarily drain well. What about the older Axiv 5564M. I had this in an older driver and loved the feel. Thinking about experimenting with this in the EMB. Chris or Gocchin? Any thoughts on this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The X-con should be a good shaft as well, just don't have any experience with it. Good Luck I also have the Axiv X on my EMB, and the combo is an absolute jewel. For me, it produces a high line drive that rolls and rolls. By FAR the longest and straightest driver I've ever had. I use the 6058 due to my 95-98 mph swing speed. This shaft really loads and kicks better than any I've tried in the past, but is also highly controllable; not a noodle in the slightest. If you choose to go this route, get advice from one of the board experts regarding the appropriate flex for you based on tempo and swingspeed.

Spoon Posted January 7, 2009 Report Share Posted January 7, 2009 i have the 10.5 and the 12*. i have tried them with the axiv x, quattro md, roddio and quattro green. my favorite by far is a 12* with quattrotech green 65. the higher ball flight and piercing trajectory has actually yielded me more distance compared to the 10.5 . may not be the longest but its defintely the most consistent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
