Fubuki AX & Alpha - Differences

[sjdavies47]

Hi,

I've got a fubuki 70 alpha in my driver and was looking at an equivalent shaft in my 3w. The website suggests that the ax shaft is a good transition from the alpha, but I am a bit confused as to what the differences are between the ax and alpha? If the AX is a transition why wouldn't you just get the alpha?

Thanks

i have both and alpha and ax. ax is a different shaft from alpha. maybe they use the same technology in both but ax is their fw specific design. feels quite a bit different from alpha which felt alot smoother than ax to me which is weird because on paper ax is supposed to be a less stout shaft eg higher torque numbers than the alpha and mid kick instead of mid/high kick for alpha but feel is subjective and really depends on swing so dont quote me on that. ax is good at two things : distance and (surprisingly) accuracy (i found its usually one or the other) dispersion is really good and the shaft is predictable. launches high, similar to alpha. tho how it felt didnt work for me and i went back to blueboard instead i think ax performs great as fw shaft if the feel works for you.

give the AX a go. Usually, you will tip the driver shaft for 3W duty but with the AX, better you just butt trim and leave the tip alone. the AX feel is similar to the alpha but seems to produce a higher spin. not sure if it helps but i think the AX is under-rated at its price point.
