Lennie Posted February 14, 2011 Report Share Posted February 14, 2011 (edited) I have now had time to play my newly shafted driver (Quadra Fire Express; TaylorMade R9 SuperTri) and irons (Matrix Ozik Program HD 95; '09 TaylorMade Tour Preferred) a half dozen times or more. Gary (Goodsie) installed the shafts along with Tour G Multi Compression grips, all purchased from TSG. I can honestly say these head/shaft combinations are the best I've ever tried, and I have owned many of the best (most expensive) sets of irons and drivers out there, including many Japanese models. These are expensive shafts and clearly not for everyone, but in my opinion well worth the money. Gary is a terrific guy and I can't say enough about the level of communication and feedback that I received from him throughout the process. I am particularly pleased with the graphite shafts in my irons. I will NEVER go back to steel after playing these shafts. They are absolutely perfect for me. The Quadra in the R9 is just awesome. Long and accurate on all but the worst swings. I am a happy man! Edited February 14, 2011 by Lennie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seesawgolfer Posted February 14, 2011 Report Share Posted February 14, 2011 I've been waiting for some feedback on the Matrix iron shafts. Did you use steel or graphite shafts in your irons before and which ones? Also, how do you compare it and what is it about these graphite shafts that you like so much? Thanks for your post!

+TourSpecGolfer Posted February 14, 2011 Report Share Posted February 14, 2011 Here Here lennie, Gary is a class act, It's an honor to have him doing a lot of work for TSG'ers. I also have to agree with you on the graphite in irons thing, Program shafts are fantastic in irons! It was soft stepped Program 130's that did the trick for me.

No problem.......I have almost exclusively played steel shafts, but have experimented with graphite four or five times. The first graphite shafts I played were in a set of Maxfli irons, and they were pretty bad! I've played a little of everything (really, almost literally). Over the past ten years the longest I've owned/played any one set of irons is six months, maybe less. I've tried almost every steel shaft imaginable. These shafts, being graphite, are much less harsh feeling (softer) than most steel shafts. They have a lively kick but do not balloon the ball as do some graphites I have tried. They are just really smooth shafts, fun to hit. Really hard to pin down, but in my view there is no "downside" to these shafts at all when compared with comprably weighted steel. Good luck!

Eca Posted May 1, 2011 Report Share Posted May 1, 2011 Great photos! I'm having the same success with the Quadra. I too wouldn't mind a comparison between matrix & quadra iron shafts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
