shacco Posted May 2, 2012 Report Share Posted May 2, 2012 Hi TSGers, anybody hit the Fuji Rombax Platinums? Tried to google but couldn't find anything. Would be specially interested in the 65 S. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eylee Posted May 5, 2012 Report Share Posted May 5, 2012 I have recently shafted a Rombax Platinum R55 onto a Yamaha D460 [2011 model]. Its ok... hits a bit longer than my Rombox X R55 also on a Yamaha 460D [2008 model.] The clubmaker suggested that I need to hit the club on the range about 300 times before the shaft really looses up... not sure if that is bull%%%% or reality... so far probably had about 100 hits with it. My swing speed is only about 90 or so...its not cheap... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shacco Posted May 5, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 5, 2012 Wow, never heard that a shaft has a break in period. Maybe Tario, Chris or Tats can comment on that. My SS is around 100 mph. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gbs Posted May 5, 2012 Report Share Posted May 5, 2012 It was offered to me before but i am scared that its too soft as i was told its targeted to more slower swingers. I am not sure whether this info is right or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's either right or it's not. Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+TourSpecGolfer Posted May 5, 2012 Report Share Posted May 5, 2012 The shaft doesn't need a break in the player does. I think he says that so you work out the nuances of your swing that do not support the shaft design. That said I do think Fujikura has lost a ton of ground in performance and design against other top shaft makers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
