+TourSpecGolfer Posted June 4, 2013 Report Share Posted June 4, 2013 Goodsie does amazing work! Highly reccomended! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chanaa Posted June 4, 2013 Report Share Posted June 4, 2013 Having played recoils and Aerotechs I ultimately went back to aerotech as the ball flight suits me better. Both are excellent as I am sure the MCI are as well. Will give them a try someday. whats your experience on the profile of recoil vs aero ? Thanks!

chiromikey Posted June 4, 2013 Report Share Posted June 4, 2013 whats your experience on the profile of recoil vs aero ? Thanks! i've had both in the 125 flavor and i like the feel of the recoils better. the steelfibers felt great when they were 1/2" over steel standard but when i cut them down to 38" 5iron standard they lost a lot more feel than i expected. the recoils in standard were pretty much perfect. dispersion is every bit as good as my steel shafts and the vibration from slight thin shots is now gone but i still get 90% of my distance. i'm now having my bold wedges shafted with recoil 8iron shafts to match the set. i can't wait!

Let us know how the wedges go. Just recently went that route (8I in wedge) with steel and its improved the wedges but I'm loving the MCI's so much I might just go with MCI's in wedges as 8 iron shafts as well. I haven't hit the Recoils but I'm assuming that since they are much like the MCI's (steel/graphite combined) that they would produce very similar findings. Do you find the Recoils to be very "laser-like"? By that I mean you can just tell that the ball ends up exactly where you struck it even if you stuck it off line the ball will finish right there since the shaft is just exacting. I'm finding these MCI's have even better dispersion than steel. Much, much better. Anyone else seeing this with Aero's, Recoils?

Blader-X Posted June 5, 2013 Report Share Posted June 5, 2013 Can any of you guys compare these shafts with PXi 's? Sounds like they might be a little higher trajectory...? Also, Blader, can you tell me who your fitter "Goodsie" is and where he's located? I'm in S.Cal as well. Thanks so much. --Richard I have two full sets or is three, but countless drivers, wedges, utes and fairways built by Gary. Every single one has been top-notch. Sure I've got to send them off to Texas but its worth it every time. Even when I've sent him clubs that I thought were marginal, they come back enhanced. Not sure if he uses voodoo, black magic or just regular old-fashioned snake charming but he's got serious skills. It is tough not being right there to talk in person, but if you have some idea of what works for you he can help you out. Very honest and a straight shooter. Just PM from here.

Anyone else seeing this with Aero's, Recoils? laser like would describe them nicely as i'm finding these to be more accurate than steel. no joke, i almost holed out three 9iron shots today, two on par 3's and one from the fairway.

Mjr. D Posted June 5, 2013 Report Share Posted June 5, 2013 Actually the Recoils are a pure graphite shaft, according to Rob Ennis at UST.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wmclarenf1 Posted June 19, 2013 Report Share Posted June 19, 2013 I tried ordering a set of MCI 60 but once again they are back ordered in Japan. Our Fuji rep said they are so hot they cannot keep up with demand even though its been out for months! T, Did you manage to get the MCI 60? What flex and how do they play? Got a new set of irons I'm looking to shaft ;-) My default now is Quadra 652i SR. If yu have played these Quadras would be great to hear comparative feedback between MCI 60 and 652i.

gocchin Posted June 21, 2013 Report Share Posted June 21, 2013 I could not wait for the 60's due to back order. Fuji just announced 50 70 90 gram weights as well!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wmclarenf1 Posted June 21, 2013 Report Share Posted June 21, 2013 T, Flex wise, how would the MCIs play? Would an Sfor the MCI 60 be equivalent to an S in the Quadra 652i or say the NS Pro 750? Just trying to get a gauge of whether to go with an R or S if I decide to try the MCI 60. As a guide, for the Quadra 652i SR, I play those HARDstepped once and am ok with the flex. Would be ok with them non hardstepped as well. For the Quadra 752i R TIPPED half inch and HARDstepped once, find them a tad soft compared to the 652i SR HARDstepped once. Something in between would be perfect so maybe that's like a 652i SR without any stepping? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gocchin Posted June 21, 2013 Report Share Posted June 21, 2013 The tips of the MCI are stiffer. That said it depends on how you like your irons. It seems you prefer them more stout so a S in the MCI would be the way to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The short irons and PW are blades effectively Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wmclarenf1 Posted June 22, 2013 Report Share Posted June 22, 2013 Great I am glad Crazy shipped them out to you quickly this time! I'm looking at them again and I think the last time I looked at a set of new irons and thought "too nice to play them" was when I got my first MG 5001s direct from when they took direct custom orders. These really look better in the metal than on the net. Just need to decide on shafts now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wmclarenf1 Posted June 27, 2013 Report Share Posted June 27, 2013 On some sites (Fuji US and here included) I'm seeing that the MCI 60 is a MID kick shaft whereas some Japanense list the MCI 60 and 70 and LOW MID kick. T, is it possible to verify with Fujikura Japan if the MCI 60 and 70 are indeed MID or LOW MID please? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mjr. D Posted June 28, 2013 Report Share Posted June 28, 2013 God I hope they're not low kick! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wmclarenf1 Posted June 28, 2013 Report Share Posted June 28, 2013 God I hope they're not low kick! You;re probably playing the 120 or 100 series and in X flex. Those are mid-HIGH kick I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chanaa Posted July 8, 2013 Report Share Posted July 8, 2013 i play ctapers R+, pxi 6.0 currently - thinking of getting the mci 60s or 80s, what flex would be comparable ? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks I think the 60 and 80 only come in R and S flex. I play the 60 in S flex in my EGG and it is NOT overly stiff at all. If you play PXi in 6.0, I think you need at least SX flex or X in this and according to fuji site, that is only in MCI 100 or 120. I'm not too sure though but that is what I read on fuji site: http://www.fujikuragolf.com/irons/mci/ I can share that I tried a friends 80 R and it felt firmer than the 60S.

Chanaa Posted July 9, 2013 Report Share Posted July 9, 2013 Looking for a lighter option, so maybe the 80S. Have you tried vs the ust prototype recoils ? These 2 seem to be in the premium range compared to steelfibers / recoil 670s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wmclarenf1 Posted July 12, 2013 Report Share Posted July 12, 2013 Anyone has tried the MCI 60S and 70S in irons? How do they stack up against each other, dispersion, distance and feel wise? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RLL33 Posted July 12, 2013 Report Share Posted July 12, 2013 wmc: I see you mention a 70g option for the MCI iron shaft. Is this available? (All listings I've seen, including here at TSG, show 60 and 80, but I hadn't seen anything in between.) I'm currently trying the 60 and like the feel and lightness a lot, but was wondering if there was something a touch heavier without going up to 80. Thanks.

Ex japan, I think only 60/80/100 and 120 are offered. IN japan, 50/60/70/80/90/100/120 offered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blader-X Posted July 13, 2013 Report Share Posted July 13, 2013 I love these shafts more and more each and every time I hit them. Definitely worth a look. I'm not sold on the new Speeder line but Fujikura really got these right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
