+TourSpecGolfer Posted April 18, 2012 Report Share Posted April 18, 2012 Just snapped a few pics of the shafts going into the Epon ZERO test heads and wanted to post them as they give a better idea of just how pretty these things are. The first 3 images are of the Basileus Fiamma 60 Stiff which is what on paper I would best fit into. 65 grams 3.6tq and designed for a mid/high trajectory for big carry. It also features a special tip section to prevent the slice and square up the clubface. The finish on these are of a very high quality. Foil 3-tone is one of the most expensive finishes you can put on a shaft. In the image below you can see just how detailed and vibrant the colors look. For some reason the lighting makes the chrome look almost gold near sun down. Here is the shaft Tatsuro would fit best the Basileus Z 70 Stiff It's 72 grams, 2.7tq in stiff flex. It's a 50T carbon shaft with a stiff tip to help prevent hooks along with a stiff butt for a stable and consistent feel. Usually tats plays an X but since Japan has noticed the best dispersion & distance gains from high quality S flex from brands like Crazy & Quadra. Compared to Crazy shafts the tip walls are just a hair thicker although noticeably thinner than Tour ADs and other more common shafts. My Fiamma doesn't have the below spiral lines near the tip. I wonder what the function of this is? Hope you enjoyed the pictures, will be testing and reviewing both shafts in the EPON ZERO soon!

Spoon Posted April 20, 2012 Report Share Posted April 20, 2012 those look very very expensive. looks alone i would assume these are more high end than crazy. Even the name is priceless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gocchin Posted April 20, 2012 Report Share Posted April 20, 2012 In most cases they don't use as high end carbon as Crazy or Quadra, buy their finish which they dub real silver plating is rather high end which accounts for a lot of the cost. Time will tell how good they are but there are many of us trying them now. @ Rice, every model is in the pros shop and you can find all the details and specs there. They do have a website though, just search basileus shafts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love the ngs shafts , cant imagine their high end line, if their entry level is already good imagine their higher carbon models. go for it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
draven Posted April 20, 2012 Report Share Posted April 20, 2012 Crazy looking finishes... are they distracting in the light? BTW - for those looking for the site: http://www.triphas.co.jp/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xerobound Posted April 20, 2012 Report Share Posted April 20, 2012 Basileus has one of the prettiest finishes I've ever seen. The quality of the finish is amazing. It's so vivid and the colors blend very nicely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
