wmclarenf1 Posted August 23, 2012 Report Share Posted August 23, 2012 I read somewhere here that for Crazy shafts, logo up promotes a higher ball flight and logo down, a slightly lower flight and more roll. I tried logo down with my Crazy in the 435 and it does seem to have lowered fight a bit from the original logo up install. So the same question for Quadra Fire Express? What is the prescription for this? Logo up or down? Thanks in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spoon Posted August 23, 2012 Report Share Posted August 23, 2012 Logo down for aesthetic reasons Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wmclarenf1 Posted August 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 23, 2012 Logo down for aesthetic reasons Thanks. Any feedback on dfferences in performance like the Crazy (well supposedly at least) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbie Posted August 23, 2012 Report Share Posted August 23, 2012 ive never heard of that.....since the graphite is laid down in sheets, i dont think there would be a difference throughout the shaft ?????? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIduffer Posted August 23, 2012 Report Share Posted August 23, 2012 Wouldn't simply doing logo up or logo down imply that spining is pointless? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wmclarenf1 Posted August 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2012 ive never heard of that.....since the graphite is laid down in sheets, i dont think there would be a difference throughout the shaft ?????? Not true Robbie from my fitting experience at least. I've never bothered spining the Crazy shafts as I try just going from what I read here and hence just go logo up or down. But my Quadra FEX FW shaft definitely had a spine and it just so happened that the spine resulted in either a logo up or down depending on how you want to play it. I ask this here only because I read a forumer here in some thread on Crayz saying that T mentioned Crazy's are to be installed logo up or down so I was wondering if there was a similar thing for FEXes.

As I mentioned to Robbie, "I ask this here only because I read a forummer here in some thread on Crazy saying that T mentioned Crazy's are to be installed logo up or down so I was wondering if there was a similar thing for FEXes." Spining in this case would not be pointless if Quadra somehow ensured that the spines for their shafts when installed are always logo up or down.

Eca Posted August 24, 2012 Report Share Posted August 24, 2012 I think they all have spine/s but the top notch shafts locates before paint & logos & generally has them down due to majority preferring this aesthetic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clevelaand Posted August 24, 2012 Report Share Posted August 24, 2012 Get it spined just to be sure. Then tell us all if logo is up or down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi, That is what I am thinking and trying to ascertain for FEX shafts. Also, if logo down plays one way for eg SLIGHTLY less spin and SLIGHTLY lowere flight for example, then does logo up promote the opposite? IIRC, what was posted in some thread here said something to that effect for Crazy shafts. Can;t seem to find that post now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EdGolf Posted August 24, 2012 Report Share Posted August 24, 2012 Might need T to come back from his vacation on 27 Aug to clarify this.... I'm also curious ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vegaman Posted August 24, 2012 Report Share Posted August 24, 2012 Well, the Roddio shafts should always be installed with the white or silver part of the dhaft up, this according to Tario, info he got from Roddio. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From my experience with the Roddio, I found the best performance with the white part facing back. Just FYI. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wmclarenf1 Posted August 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2012 Might need T to come back from his vacation on 27 Aug to clarify this.... I'm also curious ! Quadra just replied my email and they said their shafts have 2 hard points where the logo is and the back of it and can be installed up or down. I have asked further if logo up or down has different playing characteristics flight and spin wise and await their reply. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIduffer Posted August 24, 2012 Report Share Posted August 24, 2012 I know from the FEX UT, Crazy and UST/Mamiya shafts I have used the spine my builder has found is frequently usually within +- 5* off of the mfg mark on the shafts... So what is the different characteristic for spin and launch with spine up or down? I get the draw/fade bias when not vertical but…. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+TourSpecGolfer Posted August 24, 2012 Report Share Posted August 24, 2012 I stopped over thinking this a while ago, up or down for most shafts is usually fine and the safest bet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nambo Posted August 26, 2012 Report Share Posted August 26, 2012 From my experience with the Roddio, I found the best performance with the white part facing back. Just FYI. best looking shaft so shame to have the white or silver up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wmclarenf1 Posted August 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2012 (edited) THe official reply from Quadra for those interested : <div>Our shafts are designed that logo side and opposite side</div> <div>&amp;gt; We are testing repeatedly and have result that they are</div> <div>no difference.</div> <div>So we can;t tell you which side is the best for you.</div> <div>I;m afraid that we don;t have people who are good at</div> <div>English.</div> <div>I;m sorry it;s difficult to explain in detail.</div> Interesting that Crazys then have a different impact on performance for logo up or down.

EdGolf Posted August 27, 2012 Report Share Posted August 27, 2012 Are they saying their shaft is spineless?? Or perfectly round?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wmclarenf1 Posted August 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2012 Are they saying their shaft is spineless?? Or perfectly round?? To infer from their earlier reply, their shafts have 2 hard points (spines?) which are located logo up and 180* of that ie logo down. My new FEX 55 has a yellow line where the logo is and I will be installing it logo up in my Ryoma when it arrives as I did with my FEX FW in my Egg. I am very pleasantly surprised that they respond so fast and to the end customer and nice to hear from the horses mouth so to speak. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wmclarenf1 Posted August 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2012 I found the post about Crazy logo up/down and my mistake, it was the experiences of a member. T only mentioned for Crazy shafts, the spine is always logo up or down. The member posted this: "I tried different spine positions (3,6,9,12 o´clock) with Crazy LY01, CB46, FW80 and got very very surprisingly results. ..with Crazy LY01: Spine at 12 o´clock - perfect impact pattern (smashfactor up to 1.5), very straight but my launch was to high, not much roll out, "perfect carry driver", Spine at 6 o´clock - more piercing trajectory, much more roll out - gained up to 15 yards (measured with LRF), swingspeed (measured with REP) was about the same (maybe +1 mph) Spine at 3.. - inconsistent ball flight, unstable feel Feel at "6": very easy to load the shaft vs. spine at "12" mybe better for hitter." I must say for me, I played my RD at first logo up 12 o'clock and then tried 6 o'clock logo down and I do concur with this member's experiences in terms of a more piercing trajectory and slightly lower.
